Abstract

Facade and interior design play crucial roles in contemporary architecture, influencing both aesthetic appeal and environmental performance. This research examines the integration of eco-friendly materials in modern architectural design, with a focus on sustainability, energy efficiency, and material innovation. A comparative study is conducted on the rendered exterior and interior of a residential bungalow, analyzing the impact of sustainable materials such as smart glass, recycled composites, and passive cooling techniques on insulation, energy consumption, and indoor comfort. The study further explores how geometric design elements, including angled surfaces and ventilated facades, contribute to optimizing natural light, enhancing airflow, and reducing reliance on artificial cooling systems. Similarly, sustainable interior strategies such as biophilic design, energy-efficient lighting, and eco-friendly furnishings improve indoor environmental quality while reducing the building’s carbon footprint. Additionally, a cost-benefit analysis highlights the long-term advantages of sustainable architectural solutions over conventional materials in terms of durability, maintenance, and energy savings. The findings emphasize the growing significance of green architecture and the potential for integrating advanced design technologies, such as adaptive facade systems, solar-integrated materials, and smart interior automation, in future developments. This research provides insights into how contemporary architectural design can effectively merge aesthetics with environmental responsibility, ensuring both visual and functional excellence in modern buildings

Keywords: Sustainable interiors, contemporary facade, energy-efficient lighting, ventilated facades, biophilic interior design, smart glazing, passive cooling strategies
