The story of this project begins with two separate residences, located in the city of Muzaffarnagar in northern Uttar Pradesh, India. These two asymmetrical entities were to be expertly stitched together by the architectural team at Portal 92 to become one impressive 3400 square meter property. The Hem House refurbishment and redevelopment project was completed in 2022, hidden behind a new facade that disguises its original formation. The reconfigured facade achieves a loose symmetry, despite its asymmetric roots, to achieve a homogenous impression. A huge portico acts as a central anchor point, from which further linear volumes rise and fall. Wooden louver details make warm and textural pauses in the smooth, cool white concrete render.

From the outside, the Hem House appears as a singular purpose-built home. On each side of a massive central portico, the ground floor facade is crowned with a balcony of floral plants. The plants cascade down the flat white concrete to soften and lighten its visual load, blending it harmoniously with the green landscape.

Because the Hem house was once two separate residences, one side of the modern home exterior climbs higher than the other. In a push toward vertical symmetry, a covered roof area has been raised in balance. Fenestration is highlighted with wooden louver shades, which keep the eye moving and exploring.

At the back of the property, a peaceful patio area connects with the lawned garden. Concrete slabs make modern stepping stones across the grass and a body of water, which blurs the boundaries of where architecture ends and nature begins.

Modern landscaping is trimmed into an angular formation around the front of the home. The lush green lawn is cut away to accommodate a large driveway for multiple vehicles. Small shrubs create an attractive border around the lawn. Others flourish within built-in concrete planters around the home entrance.

The grand front entrance to the home is cleverly configured with the portico, which draws attention away from the two original doorways into each house. Under the protection of the canopy, wide glass doors are shaded from direct sunlight.

The huge portico visually grounds the building and successfully achieves a look of singularity. Elegant wooden louver details build organized asymmetry and attractive framing for planters.

Upon closer inspection, we discover the original doors into the two properties.

Restful outdoor recreational areas feature concrete render, soft limestone, and Thermo-Ash wood. Shady overhangs offer refuge from the burning sunshine. An abundance of plants feather the edges of the cool retreat.

Two unique outdoor coffee tables furnish the center of the patio seating area, whilst built-in benches are bedded into the borders. Small ceramic vases and candle holders provide modest decoration to the table tops. A small stone bird perches next to a tree.

Beautiful forms spring from modest materials. A striking, undulating bench design stands in solid concrete. Its cantilevered, chaise lounge silhouette reaches out across a narrow decked area, where spherical stone garden ornaments randomly dot the ground.

The curvy bench design counteracts the streamlined linearity of the home’s architecture. The canopy above the terrace is clad with rich-toned wooden planks to create an indoor-outdoor living experience that feels warm and welcoming.

Abundant green ground cover plants pop up between the paving slabs and concrete stepping stones to bring a natural balance to the modern home exterior. The translucent leaves and slender branches of small trees create light play across the pale wall render.

Inside the Hem house, the central common space brings together the members of the family. The reconfigured interior delivers a large new living room as a result of smaller rooms being stitched together; a reimagined layout that gives the property fresh meaning for a new lifestyle. Gray decor gives the interior spaces a cool aesthetic, whilst natural wood and rattan accents provide warming elements.

Stitching 2 Houses Together To Form The Hem House [Video] - 15

The interior decor scheme is shaped with cozy curves. A rounded concrete wall wraps around the back of a curvy sofa design. A curved wood and wicker room divider protectively embraces an intimate formal dining area. Whilst the wicker screen separates the dining room from the rest of the living space, it also allows natural light to filter through.

Metallic table legs catch the light, giving the dining space a luxurious shimmer. A huge vase makes an eye-catching table centerpiece. Above the table, a modern dining room chandelier features a trendy inverted arch motif.

Opposite the main living space, a rustic wooden step marks a change in zone. The step assists entry into a small, concrete courtyard design, where an assortment of large ceramic pots and wicker baskets make attractive decorations.

A round window briefly peeps into the neighboring kitchen, like a traditional serving hatch. A wall of open kitchen shelving creates an atmospherically lit backdrop. A collection of colorful kitchenware and decorative vases adorn the open shelving wall and a unique, cantilevered kitchen island. Unique pendant lights fall low to the kitchen island to provide focused task lighting.

Visualizer:Design At Sketch

Almost completely covered in black, a few minor elements shine in chrome and wood in this kitchen interior. We love how the textures do the talking, especially through the matte table under black wood-panelled walls. But having an open approach like this means that every one of your accessories on display—including knives, wine glasses, mugs, cutting boards, teapots, cookie jars, etc.—need to be on point.

2. Add Wooden Elements

There’s nothing like personalizing your space to who YOU are. This kitchen serves the purpose by adding keepsakes and heirlooms. Also, black leaves room for details, so it’s one of the best colors to use if you’re hoping to display knick-knacks.

26. Use Black to Add Intimacy

Who says dark colors make small spaces feel smaller? We only see black adding luxury to this compact space (with some credit to the white flooring adding brightness). This kitchen—with black marble backsplash—speaks opulence, and for all the right reasons!

27. Enhance Black Kitchen Design with Patterns

This black kitchen interior makes a design statement with the patterned marble island. Its sleek metallic legs lift it off the floor, creating an illusion of space. Simultaneously, the textured inset makes sure visual interest is added.

28. Don’t Forget a Black and White Rug

If you’re not in for a complete kitchen renovation, simply painting your cabinets black and adding a black-and-white patterned rug will achieve the purpose! We love how this kitchen keeps sets the base with white and tops it with black.

29. Let the Lighting Make a Statement in the All Black Kitchen

When everything else is understated, letting the lighting create a statement is a good idea. This matte black kitchen interior uses rod lighting to do the talking. It sticks to the all black kitchen color scheme, though!

30. Tone it Down

This open floor plan uses dark gray throughout, showing us that black can work in more spaces than the kitchen 😉 It sure makes a design statement for those cooking and dining—or lounging!

31. Consider a Black and Wooden Bar

This is the ultimate modern luxury black kitchen! After all, what’s better than displaying your favorite collection of beer right behind the black kitchen island? The low-hanging pendant lights also add to the black kitchen design.

This dark-gray kitchen is super simple with its sleek, hardware-less cabinetry. Well, except the far left end. Here, we see a statement piece of art and intriguing layered lighting created a focal point.

33. Stick to the Minimalist Style for Black Kitchens

This compact kitchen space follows the simple rule: white walls paired with black cabinetry and an island. Even in this nook, the space is able to make a style statement while providing optimal functionality. The window here gives a contrasting element of light to the otherwise dark modern kitchen.

34. Layer Lighting in the All Black Kitchen
