DCA works on a wide scale of
residential projects, ranging from contemporary to classic architecture.
Clean geometrical compositions
for the facade with a culmination of exposed brick work and beige colored
extensions make the elevation and entrance look modern yet organic in nature. Color
schemes are kept simple to emphasize on the form of the built mass. The
material used in the façade is such that promotes least maintenance and
longevity. The scale of the built is kept such to make an individual feel the
grandeur at the entrance. The relation between the inside spaces and the
outside; inter-woven with the landscape at various levels, is given a lot of
importance to enhance the user’s experience while residing in the building. The
fenestrations are wide with clean lines and glazed glass, so as to promote
airiness and make for an exhilarating affair. Wooden flooring has been given in
most of the areas to retain the harmony with earthen feel of the space. Art
works that speak have been encouraged in open spaces, walls of bedroom, study
and other areas, so each space speaks of its relevance & importance in the
residence.
Function and aesthetics are believed
to be the two pillars of the design process. While DCA gives importance to
design, it lays equal importance on its functionality, practicality and budget.
Residence designs for Mr. Ahmed at Noida and Mr. Mehra at GK-1, New Delhi, hence
are such that foster multi-functionality of elements. For example: window sills
are used as platforms for the planter boxes. Spaces are designed strategically
on the basis of locality and climatic conditions. Here the location of windows
is such that it restricts the harsh sun in summers and welcomes it in winters.
While doing this, it also ensures sufficient natural light in the residence at
all times.
A residence-being a dream, a haven, a place of comfort
for any individual. The client’s aspirations are given utmost importance and
are pivotal in shaping the design of a residence. All residential designs of DCA
have their own inherent character, reflecting upon the owner’s
disposition.
With the vast knowledge of
materials & products and experience on possibilities, DCA plays the role of
a catalyst in achieving the client’s yearnings and desires through their
designs. The resulting space is always unique.
One of the finer examples of
this is the Aggarwal Residence at Chandigarh, Punjab.


Whether its plotted residences or
large scale housing (Mount View Apartments, Faridabad, being a fine example)
DCA provides highly luxurious, comfortable and captivating interiors, designed
such that opulence is not restrained by the budget and is felt in all the
residences. The layouts of the interior spaces are done in a way that
manifests it into a highly modern, well lit and a spacious place. The ceiling
height, wherever possible, is kept high in areas like drawing rooms and dining
rooms – adding to the grandeur and is kept low in areas like bedrooms and
family lounges adding to the cozy feel of the space. Each space is highly
personalized as per the individual utilizing it. The colors and finishes of the
walls and floors are generally kept muted with the intent of giving due
emphasis to the pieces of furniture and art in the room. This also ensures the
client the flexibility of changing color schemes and look of the place as the
time goes by. All details like color scheme, floor skirting, selection &
design of furniture, drapes, art, wall murals, lights, landscaping &
foliage etc. go through an extensive design development process as per the
current fashion, set budget and the client’s desires.
Our beliefs, knowledge &
experience have helped us in making beautiful homes for
very satisfied clients.
