• Indo-Saracenic synthesis — classical Doric or Tuscan columns + Mughal-influenced chhatri (domed pavilion) accents.
• Deep wraparound verandahs with classical columns shading the south and west facades — monsoon climate response.
• Hand-fired clay tile or stone-slab roof with deep eaves.

Scope

Light remodel

New paint, siding, roof, and finishes — the structure stays put.

Replace the exterior materials in the chosen style while keeping every structural element exactly. Best for solid bones with dated finishes. This is what most renovations call 'a refresh.'

Typical cost
