The Arc House

The Arc House, designed for a family of five, perfectly describes an abode that not only deems to offer a home but a piece of heavenly paradise. Each floor is designed keeping in mind the characteristics of the family members, weaving a story that helps them find their comfort zones within the residence. The Arc House, an enigma in itself with stunning interiors and popping scheme, is designed by ASRO Arcade following a classic-contemporary design grammar. The client called for a fairly simple and elegant home that offers a unique approach while offering plenty of storage space. Furthermore, they wanted to hone in on the sheer beauty of using simple hues like neutrals, blacks, whites, and greys. There was a higher emphasis given by the client to keep their home interiors utilitarian in nature with nostalgic statements on display. Keeping the nature of requirements in mind, the design team created a dynamic facade that focused on all the details of the house. A futuristic & modern design concept was created that highlighted the positive aspects of each space. As a fair amount of materials were locally sourced and aluminium was used extensively, the residence, the Arc House, is itself an understated study of luxury and sustainability.
