Premium villa elevation with full glass facade in Hyderabad — representative project visualisation

Project brief

A 9,400 sqft built-up area villa on a 1,000 sqyd plot. Architect from Hyderabad, interiors by a Mumbai studio. The brief: frameless visual continuity from inside to outside, fully home-automation integrated, and acoustically calm despite the busy Banjara Hills road location.

Wind-load exposure: low-to-moderate (Hyderabad inland). Sun exposure: south-west primary facade gets 6 hours of harsh afternoon sun. Acoustic load: 65–72 dB at the road-facing facade.

How we ran the project (family + partner model)

At any given time WoodenMax is running 10–12 live projects across India in parallel. We deliberately keep volumes capped to this band — it is the maximum number our family + trained partner-crew model can ship without quality drift.

For this villa: design + fabrication + QC was 100% in-house at our Hyderabad factory. On-site install was led by our senior site-supervisor, with execution by a 4-person partner crew that has been with us since 2020. The owner had a single WhatsApp group with the WoodenMax brother in charge of the project — calls returned within an hour, decisions taken on call, no "talk to my manager" handoffs.

How does pricing work for a project like this?

Per-system rates are published on our calculators — slim casement, lift-and-slide, structural glazing, pergola each have a live ₹/sq.ft calculator. We share an itemised quote within 5 working days of a site visit. GST 18% extra and transport are governed by our GST & transport policy.

How was the structural-glazing facade attached without a visible frame?

The DGU units are bonded to an aluminium sub-frame using Dow Corning DC-993 structural silicone, with a 4-side mechanical safety capture on the inside. The visible joint is a 12 mm weather silicone bead between adjacent units. Wind-load qualified at +2.0 kPa.
