The house, as the name suggests scintillatingly stands out in aesthetics and appeal. The clients love gardens, trees, pets, and an open-to-sky courtyard that runs deep inside the house. The holistic approach towards choosing the materials for this project explains the maneuvered efforts that the architects and interior designers have diligently put in.

Material Of Architecture:

The accentuating materials of this house in 2023 are Polished Concrete Texture, Jaisalmer Yellow Sandstone, UPVC sliding door, and Hollow Clay Brick. Now, it’s almost time to dive into the parametrical details of these materials.

Polished Concrete Texture:

It is a popular flooring and texturing choice. It involves a concrete surface, mechanically honed, polished, and ground that confers a shiny finish. Also, a famous choice for commercial, residential, and industrial applications.

Advantages:

• Environmentally sustainable and eco-friendly.
• Offers a wide array of color pigments, gloss finishes, and aggregate exposure levels.

Factors to consider:

• Due to its porous nature, it is susceptible to staining.
• The concrete is extremely hard, causing discomfort and fatigue, making it unfavorable to standing for long periods.

Jaisalmer Yellow Sandstone:

The Jaisalmer Yellow Sandstone naturally occurs and forms a good choice for construction needs. They find major applications in flooring and cladding.

Advantages:

• Available in a variety of design styles.
• Its dense and hard-wearing material is resistant to chemical damage, erosion, and weathering.

Factors to consider:

• Prone to staining, and spills if not cleaned at the right time then it could damage the surface.
• Slippery when wet, might pose a hazard in high traffic and moisture-frequented areas.

UPVC Sliding Door:

UPVC Sliding Doors form the perfect blend of form and function. The form comes with a ready-to-use sliding glass frame that can fit directly hollowed wall spaces. The function of these doors comes in handy when you don’t want mosquitoes entering your premise!

Advantages:

• They serve as excellent insulators that reduce energy bills by preventing heat loss.
• Easy to maintain and needs minimal upkeep.

Factors to consider:

• Limited color options.
• They are not suitable in areas prone to heavy winds, as they cannot withstand the pressure.

Hollow Clay Brick:

Hollow clay brick is one of the well-known building materials in 2023, known for construction purposes, specifically masonry.

Advantages:

• They provide superior thermal insulation.
• They can absorb sound and reduce the amount of noise that travels through walls.

Factors to consider:

• They are fragile and can crack or break easily if not handled carefully while installation.
• They have limited compressive strength and are not preferred for high-load-bearing uses.
