SOC’s Take on Timeless vs. Trendy Elevation Designs
Introduction
The elevation, or face of a building, is one of the first elements that draws attention in real estate architecture. A well-designed elevation reflects identity, time, and purpose in addition to being aesthetically pleasing. With offices in Ankleshwar, Surat, and Bharuch, Shree Om Consultant (SOC) has spent decades creating skylines that combine aesthetics and functionality. We have extensive experience in Gujarati residential and commercial landmarks, as well as architectural design, licensing, and project management. In this blog, we address a question that our clients often ask us: Should you opt for a trendy look or a timeless elevation?
Understanding the Two Approaches
Trendy and timeless are two distinct schools of thought, not just design fads. Classical ideas are followed in timeless elevation designs. These consist of neutral color schemes, symmetrical facades, natural materials such as stone, wood, or brick, and clean lines. They are understated, sophisticated, and have a timeless aesthetic appeal. These designs prioritize structural integrity and cultural relevance over overt decoration or daring experimentation.
Conversely, modern elevation designs embrace the here and now. Bold colors, unusual materials, dramatic shapes, and asymmetrical compositions are frequently used by them. Modern elements like glass facades, metallic panels, laser-cut claddings, and intelligent shading systems are frequently used in these designs, which are more expressive and striking.
Each strategy has advantages. At Shree Om Consultant (SOC), we think that the best outcomes occur when we comprehend the long-term objectives of our clients and steer them in the appropriate direction, whether that direction is classic, modern, or the ideal combination of the two.
The Value of Timeless Design
Selecting a timeless elevation entails investing in elegance, robustness, and a design that will never go out of style. For many years, these buildings have maintained their visual appeal and have aged gracefully. This guarantees greater long-term value and less need for repairs or modifications for both developers and homeowners.
According to our experience, timeless elevations are appropriate for townships, residential developments, and institutional structures since they tend to appeal to a broader audience. They are long-term, cost-effective since they don’t depend on trends to be relevant. Timeless heights are frequently preferred by clients seeking little maintenance, cultural connections, and market longevity.
In numerous residential projects in Bharuch and Ankleshwar, Shree Om Consultant (SOC) has effectively applied timeless ideas, particularly in family-oriented homes where warmth and delicacy are more important than flamboyance.
The Appeal of Trendy Design
The purpose of trendy heights is to draw attention. These are distinctive designs that frequently use cutting-edge lighting, new technologies, or design experiments to create a striking impression. Trendy elevations are frequently the best option for commercial buildings, showrooms, retail establishments, or projects targeted at younger audiences.
In vibrant marketplaces like Surat and Bharuch, there is a growing desire for speed and innovation, which is reflected in trendy elevations. We at Shree Om Consultant (SOC) don’t just mindlessly follow trends. We assess their integration with the overall design, structural viability, and appropriateness for the area. Even if a trend might appear fine in a magazine, it’s our responsibility to make sure it works in the hot weather of Bharuch or the humid climate of Ankleshwar.
Shree Om Consultant (SOC)’s Balanced Perspective
After more than 20 years of designing, we’ve concluded that design must be functional. At Shree Om Consultant (SOC), we think it’s important to find the ideal balance between classic and modern.
We assist clients in combining aspects of both styles rather than asking them to choose just one. For example, a building can have a classic foundation (warm materials, straightforward massing, symmetrical plan) and still incorporate contemporary features like perforated screens, vertical gardens, or sculptural fins to give it individuality.
This hybrid strategy is particularly effective for mid-sized commercial properties, duplexes, and urban homes when a balance between durability and contemporary attractiveness is desired. This is what we refer to as the “Future-Ready Design Philosophy,” in which content is strong while style changes.
What to Consider When Choosing Your Elevation Style
Whether you’re a homeowner or a real estate developer, choosing the right elevation style means asking the right questions:
- Who is the target audience?
Families often prefer timeless homes, while young professionals lean toward modern aesthetics. - What is the project’s purpose?
A showroom or commercial space may benefit from trendy appeal, while a residential complex may need a more classic tone. - Where is the project located?
Designs that work in Surat’s urban layout may not suit Bharuch’s suburban vibe. - How long do you plan to keep the building?
If you aim to resell or rent in 5–10 years, timeless styles might hold better value. - What is your maintenance capacity?
Trendy features sometimes require higher maintenance or replacement over time.
By helping our clients assess these questions, we deliver not just beauty, but clarity.
