The front elevation is the face of your house: the view from the road, with its walls, balconies, windows, gate and boundary wall. A good elevation is decided together with the floor plan, because balconies, staircases, sun shading and parking all show on the front.
Short answer: for most plots in Greater Noida, modern and contemporary elevations with plaster, a stone or wood accent and glass railings are the most asked-for. Classic looks like Mediterranean, colonial or haveli suit people who want a traditional, grand face. Your plot also matters: a narrow 25 ft front, a corner plot or stilt parking each need their own approach. Below are 18 elevation types with a picture of each.
Modern elevation styles
Clean lines, flat slabs and a few strong materials.
Concept designModern Box Elevation
Stacked rectangular floors with flat, projecting slabs give a crisp, box-like look. A wooden louvre panel or stone block adds warmth, and glass railings keep balconies open.
Flat cantilevered slabs, grey or white plaster, wood or stone accent panel, glass railings, LED strips under slabs
Most plot sizes; owners who want a clean modern look
Mid
Concept designContemporary Elevation
A mix of materials such as plaster, brick jaali, dark window frames and planters. It follows current trends and usually has more greenery and texture than a pure modern box.
Framed windows, brick or concrete jaali, planter boxes, wooden door, metal gate with wood infill
Families who like a fresh but warm look
Mid
Concept designMinimalist White Elevation
Plain white walls, very few materials and almost no decoration. The look depends on good proportions: deep window frames, one arch or one wooden door become the feature.

Budget to mid

Red brick is left visible, often with brick jaali screens that let air through and cut the sun. It gives an earthy, handmade feel.

Classic and traditional styles
Arches, columns, mouldings and carved details.

By plot and house type
The size and shape of the plot change what works on the front.

Double-height entrance glass, porch soffit, one main balcony, car porch
Single families on 150-300 sq yd plots
Mid to premium
Concept designCorner Plot House Elevation
A corner plot has two street fronts, so both sides must be designed. Wrap-around balconies and a rounded or cut corner make the most of the extra light and view.
Two designed facades, wrap-around balconies, rounded corner slab, boundary wall on both roads
Corner plots in sectors and societies
Mid to premium

How to choose your elevation design
- Start with the plot. Width of the front, corner or not, road side and sun direction decide what is practical.
- Plan the floor plan and elevation together. Balconies, staircase windows and parking all appear on the front.
- Pick one or two feature materials. Stone, wood-look HPL or brick on one part looks better than many materials everywhere.
- Think about upkeep. White plaster needs repainting more often; stone and HPL stay neat longer.
- See it in 3D before building. Our architects show the elevation in 3D so you can change it before work starts.
