When architects create designs for a new construction, they produce plans and elevations that show how the house will be built and what it will look like. These floor plans are a view from the top that showcases each floor of the property with each detail. The exterior elevations display the four sides of a building and the directions they face, along with the fabrications and materials that will be used.
Just like a box is opened with its four sides flat on the surface, the laid-out wall elevation shows the drawing of each wall, indicating any designs, shelves, window inserts, fireplaces, and any other detail. The elevation also depicts the type of roofing and the support beams that will be erected. Doors, windows, gutter placements, and every such element is included in the elevation. This is why elevations are important. But, there is something more that makes elevation drawings even more important. Elevations are not just a drawing of the complete home plan; they are also a part of the paperwork required to obtain building permits and council approval. This is because the drawings must be able to illustrate the proposals that meet statutory planning policies.
Elevations appeal to buyers’ imaginations and tastes, and helps them understand in detail about what the home will exactly look like. Why we say “exactly” is because elevations convey a range of information just precisely about the heights and widths, roof forms, doors and windows positioning, and much more. It is important to understand the appearance of your house before you buy it; and most importantly, from the front. The front view of the house can affect the value of a property and create or break appeal. With the front elevation, you will be able to see the main entrance door, front windows, front and side porches, and any other frontal design elements.
A good home elevation design captures the best views from all sides of the building. So, what describes a good home elevation design? First and foremost, the design should provide enough privacy to the inhabitants. And secondly, the design must capture the most attractive of the surroundings, while also protecting the interiors from open street views, and also shade it from the sun.
However, the most common types of elements seen within home elevation designs in India include –
- A big main entrance with a balcony above it
- Protruding north and east facing homes; and deep-set south and west facing homes
- North and east facing homes being more expansive with larger windows; south and west facing homes being smaller with smaller windows
- Sloping roofs tilting towards the northern and eastern sides
