FENESTRATION FOR VILLAS
Architect and Interiors India|November 2024
In contemporary villa architecture, the use of new-age materials in windows and fenestration is driven by the need for durability, sustainability, and sleek design.

FENESTRATION FOR VILLAS

Fenestration is a crucial element of any new age architecture, shaping both the interior atmosphere and the exterior aesthetics. Homeowners and architects are favouring larger, uninterrupted glass panes to blur the boundaries between indoor and outdoor spaces. This not only maximises natural light but also creates a seamless connection with nature, offering panoramic views. Clean lines and minimal framing (example, frameless glass systems) are favoured to create a sleek, modern look that emphasises views rather than the window structure. Most of the architects today are looking at minimalistic flushed window systems in which all the frames of the windows are concealed and flushed with the interiors of the houses. “There’s a growing preference for oversized windows that maximise natural light and create seamless connections between indoor and outdoor spaces. Clients have been looking out for 6 metre-7 metre openings of a single panel of glass which can be motorised and connected to the home automation of the house so the windows can be operated with remote systems. To enhance comfort and control light, integrated shading devices like louvres, external screens, or operable shading systems are being designed alongside windows. Currently using blinds in between the DGU glasses and having larger size mosquito meshes and blinds are the common requirements in every project,” says Amit Jawahar Hemrajani, Director, ORIA Fenestrations.
