19 Years Old Load Bearing Home Vertical Extension in Hongasandra Bangalo...


19-Year-Old Load-Bearing Vertical Home Extension – Hongasandra, Bangalore

By Royal Architecture

This renovation project involved the vertical extension of a 19-year-old traditional load-bearing home in Hongasandra, Bangalore. The existing home was a G+1 structure, and we successfully upgraded it to a G+3 layout, enhancing space, accessibility, and rental potential.

🏗️ Structural Challenges & Engineering Solutions:

  • The original structure was built using traditional load-bearing construction, without RCC columns or beams.

  • Adding two more floors required careful structural assessment. We ensured safe load distribution for both dead loads (structural weight) and live loads (occupants, furniture, etc.).

  • We utilized available setbacks on the ground floor and incorporated cantilever beams on the front and one side to support the extended structure without compromising the existing building's integrity.

🛗 Lift Integration & Accessibility Enhancements:

  • A lift was added as part of the vertical extension, providing easy access to all floors.

  • To support the lift, we created a new road-facing balcony on the first floor, serving as a functional lift landing and enhancing the exterior appeal.

  • Additionally, a new staircase block was constructed on the right side of the existing building as an optional secondary access to the upper floors.

🏠 Proposed Floor Plans:

  • 2nd Floor – Spacious 2BHK Unit (Rental Purpose):

    • 3 Bathrooms – 2 attached, 1 common

    • 2 Balconies – one in the living room and one in the bedroom

    • Modern modular kitchen for added convenience

  • 3rd Floor – 1BHK + 2BHK Units:

    • 1BHK – with modular kitchen and attached bathroom

    • 2BHK – includes a modular kitchen, one attached and one common bathroom, and 2 balconies (one for the living room and one connected to the bathroom for ventilation and utility)

🌇 Terrace Additions:

  • The terrace includes the staircase and lift headroom, designed with proper weather protection and ventilation.

  • A dedicated barbecue party zone was created for family gatherings and social functions, adding lifestyle value to the home.

✅ Summary

This project reflects Royal Architecture’s expertise in transforming old, load-bearing structures into modern, multi-functional homes — balancing safety, space optimization, and future usability. Whether it’s structural design, lift integration, or interior functionality, every detail is thoughtfully engineered to suit the homeowner’s long-term vision.
