Every big
city in the world is known to have a particular cityscape, a definite skyline
that is defined by its architecture. In India too, cities like Delhi and Mumbai
have architectures that have become quintessential elements of the cities,
inextricable from the city’s identity itself.
At the
same time, modern Indian architecture is continuously evolving, not just from
the outside, but also from the inside; and not just in Delhi and Mumbai, but
all over India’s many blossoming cities and towns.
Whether
in terms of eco-friendly homes with fresh air ventilation systems or single
room apartments accommodating different rooms or fully furnished serviced apartments equipped with all modern amenities like cooking
ranges, mixers, grinders and other appliances- modern Indian architecture has
never looked this tempting.
Leading
builders and realty developers in various urban hotspots are inventing all
kinds of architectural styles to cater to contemporary sensibilities and their
efforts are bearing fruit as more and more people are veering towards
innovative housing.
The
changing architecture is also reflective of the changing family trends of
Indian society. Erstwhile large, joint families have given way to nuclear
families, single-parent families and families comprising just a couple.
Under these circumstances, the burgeoning popularity of single room flats and
fully furnished apartments is not at all surprising.
With
paucity of space becoming a major issue in housing across Indian cities, better
management and utilization of space has become a key feature of contemporary
Indian architecture. Gigantic, sprawling houses may never go out of
fashion- yet- chic, plush and minimalistic interior designs set within limited
spaces are quite the rage among urban city dwellers these
days.
