Wood-clad Modern Residence

Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, India Completed

The brief

This modern residence features a sleek elevation finished in wooden-look HPL sheets that add warmth and texture, balanced against clean plastered surfaces in neutral tones. Large windows with slim aluminium frames enhance natural light and openness. The building is complete.

The challenge

A contemporary urban house on a compact plot has to feel open, private and modern all at once, using material and form rather than sheer size to create presence. On this four-level Lucknow residence the challenge was a crisp modern language that handles privacy and light on a tight site.

What makes it special

The elevation combines warm HPL wood-look cladding with slim aluminium glazing and clean horizontal lines, giving the home a refined, contemporary character without heavy ornament. As a modern residential project in Lucknow, it demonstrates the practice's range beyond classical work — equally at home in a restrained, material-led contemporary idiom.
