Row houses, with their connected structures and shared walls, offer a unique charm and efficient use of space, especially in bustling urban environments.

This guide explores the key elements of row house elevation design, providing inspiration and practical tips to help you craft a stunning front for your urban abode. ARTILETT, a leading architecture firm specializing in urban residential design, shares expert insights to help you navigate the intricacies of row house elevations.

The Unique Considerations of Row House Elevation

Designing the house elevation design for a row house presents both challenges and opportunities. Unlike detached homes, row houses are inherently connected, requiring a thoughtful approach to maintain both individual identity and visual harmony within the row.

Here’s what ARTILETT emphasizes as key considerations, reflected beautifully in our featured 3 BHK Row Bungalow:

• Unity and Individuality: The key is striking a balance. You want your house front design to stand out as your own, but it should also complement its neighbors and contribute to the overall aesthetic of the row. As seen in our 3 BHK Row Bungalow, ARTILETT masterfully uses subtle variations in façade textures and balcony projections to achieve this delicate balance, creating individual identities within a unified row.
• Space Optimization: Row houses often have a smaller frontage. Effective front elevation designs for small houses are essential to maximize visual impact without overwhelming the limited space. ARTILETT’s designs, exemplified by the 3 BHK Row Bungalow, frequently leverage verticality and strategic window placement, along with cantilevered balconies, to create an illusion of spaciousness and depth, even in compact urban plots.
• Shared Architecture: You’ll need to work with the existing architectural style of your row. While you can personalize, major deviations might disrupt the visual flow of the entire block. ARTILETT recommends taking cues from the existing architecture and enhancing it with modern touches. Our 3 BHK Row Bungalow project demonstrates this by respecting the row house typology while injecting a fresh, contemporary aesthetic.

Key Elements of Row House Elevation Design – As Showcased in ARTILETT’s 3 BHK Row Bungalow

To create a captivating row house elevation, focus on these essential elements, as highlighted by ARTILETT‘s design principles and beautifully executed in our featured 3 BHK Row Bungalow:

• Facade Treatments:

  • Materials: Explore diverse materials to add texture and visual interest. Brick, stone, siding, stucco, and even wood accents can be incorporated to differentiate your house front design. In our 3 BHK Row Bungalow, ARTILETT expertly combines smooth plaster surfaces with textured panels to create visual depth and a sophisticated material palette.
  • Color Palette: Choose a color scheme that aligns with your style and complements the row. You might opt for subtle variations in shades or bolder contrasts to highlight your individual home. Think about house painting design and how it impacts the elevation. ARTILETT‘s color consultants can guide you to the perfect palette. The muted, earthy tones of the 3 BHK Row Bungalow, accented by dark frames, showcase ARTILETT‘s refined color sense.
  • Architectural Details: Cornices, moldings, window trim, and decorative elements can add character and personalize your facade. Consider architectural designs for houses and how they can be adapted for row houses. ARTILETT‘s portfolio, including this 3 BHK Row Bungalow, showcases intricate detailing even in minimalist designs, often through carefully considered lighting and geometric patterns.

• Windows and Doors:

  • Window Style: Choose window styles that enhance the architectural style. For a modern house design, opt for clean-lined windows, as seen in the sleek, dark-framed windows of our 3 BHK Row Bungalow. For a more traditional look, consider windows with decorative grilles. Think about house window design not just for aesthetics but also for maximizing natural light within your row house. ARTILETT prioritizes natural light, evident in the generous window sizes in the 3 BHK Row Bungalow.
  • House Door Design & House Main Door Design: Your front door is a focal point. Select a house door design that reflects your style and complements the overall elevation. A well-chosen house main door design can make a statement without overwhelming the facade. ARTILETT offers bespoke door designs; imagine a striking wooden door complementing the modern lines of the 3 BHK Row Bungalow!

• Rooflines and Verticality:

  • Roof Style: While rooflines are often dictated by the row structure, consider how you can enhance them. Even within a consistent roofline, details like dormers or decorative gables can add visual interest. For double floor normal house front elevation designs, the roofline becomes even more prominent. ARTILETT creatively works with rooflines to maximize curb appeal; note the clean, strong horizontal roofline of the 3 BHK Row Bungalow, lending it a contemporary edge.
  • Vertical Elements: Use vertical lines in your design to create a sense of height and spaciousness, particularly beneficial for small house designs and simple house front designs. ARTILETT incorporates vertical landscaping and architectural features to achieve this; visualize climbing greenery softening the vertical planes of our 3 BHK Row Bungalow design.

• Landscaping and Entryways:

  • Greenery: Even a small amount of greenery can significantly soften the hard lines of a row house and enhance the house front elevation. Window boxes, planters, or a small front garden can make a big difference. ARTILETT believes in integrating nature into urban row house designs, and the image shows thoughtfully placed plants enhancing the entry of the 3 BHK Row Bungalow.
  • Entryway Design: Define your entryway to create a welcoming and distinct space. Consider a porch light, a decorative door mat, or potted plants to personalize your entrance. ARTILETT focuses on creating inviting and functional entryways even in limited spaces; observe the well-defined entry path and subtle lighting in our featured 3 BHK Row Bungalow.

Finding Your Style: From Simple to Modern Row House Elevations – ARTILETT’s Style Guide

• Simple Row House Elevation: A simple house design for a row house emphasizes clean lines, functional elements, and understated elegance. Focus on quality materials, a cohesive color palette, and well-proportioned windows and doors. A simple single floor house design in a row can be incredibly charming in its simplicity. ARTILETT‘s “Minimalist Row” portfolio showcases this style beautifully.

• Modern Row House Elevation: For a modern house design in a row house, embrace clean lines, minimalist aesthetics, and contemporary materials. Think large windows, flat or subtly angled roofs (if permitted), and a focus on geometric forms. Modern single floor house designs in a row can leverage open floor plans and sleek elevations to maximize space and light. Our featured 3 BHK Row Bungalow perfectly embodies ARTILETT‘s “Urban Edge” collection, showcasing a sophisticated modern aesthetic.

• Normal House Front Elevation Designs: Whether you prefer traditional, contemporary, or somewhere in between, remember that “normal” is subjective! Aim for a balanced and well-executed normal house front elevation design that reflects your personal taste while respecting the architectural context of your row. ARTILETT believes in personalized designs that cater to each client’s unique vision.

Tips for Designing Your Row House Elevation – Expert Advice from ARTILETT

• Take Inspiration from Your Neighbors: Observe the existing row houses. Identify elements you admire and consider how you can incorporate them while adding your own unique touch. ARTILETT encourages contextual design that respects the neighborhood’s character.
• Keep it Proportionate: Ensure that the elements you add – windows, doors, decorations – are in proportion to the overall facade and the scale of the row house. ARTILETT’s designers are experts in achieving harmonious proportions, as seen in the balanced elevation of our 3 BHK Row Bungalow.
• Seek Professional Advice: Consider consulting an architect or designer for architectural designs for houses and row house elevations specifically. They can offer expert guidance to achieve your desired look. ARTILETT offers consultations to help you visualize and realize your dream row house elevation.
• Don’t Forget the Details: Small details like house name plate design, house main gate design (if applicable for your row house), and even the house painting design all contribute to the final impression of your house exterior design. ARTILETT believes that details make all the difference in creating a truly exceptional design, and the subtle lighting and refined material choices in the 3 BHK Row Bungalow are testaments to this philosophy.
