[View full gallery](https://mytribe.in/slatestudio.ashok/architectural-design-build/gallery) I focus on creating residential facades that stand out through a clean, minimalist mix of materials and form. Each project is designed to play with light, shadow, and local climate needs, turning a standard plot into a unique visual statement. ## Photos and videos - ![A modern duplex residence featuring deep, cantilevered balconies with integrated planters.

By incorporating elements like custom metal Jali screens or cantilevered projections, I control how sunlight hits the facade, adding depth and privacy while ensuring your home looks distinct from its neighbors. A home’s facade is its first impression, but it needs to do more than just look good. My approach to contemporary exteriors balances aesthetics with the realities of the Bangalore climate. **Materiality and Form** I prefer clean, minimalist lines over excessive ornamentation. I often work with a mix of solid and void spaces, using stone cladding, HPL, or Corten steel to break up massive walls. By using cantilevered balconies, I create depth, which provides natural shade and reduces heat gain inside the house. **The Role of Screens** In dense neighborhoods like Kogilu or Hormavu, privacy is often a concern. I design custom geometric metal screens or wooden louvers that serve a dual purpose. They act as a visual barrier from the street while allowing air circulation and creating shifting patterns of light and shadow throughout the day. **Designing for the Site** Whether it’s a 20x30 site or a larger corner plot, the goal is to make the elevation feel purposeful. I avoid copy-paste designs. Every project, from the Twin House in Kogilu to the Dasharatha residence in Ullal, gets a facade that respects the plot's orientation. We don’t just build walls; we create a rhythmic interaction of textures that ages gracefully with the city. ## About Slate Studio I'm Ashok, and I don't believe in architecture that’s just bricks and mortar. I focus on creating homes that look sharp, feel open, and handle the sun properly. If you want a house that stands out in your neighborhood without looking cluttered, we’ll get along just fine.
