AHAM – Architecture that is designed to touch the Soul. This 2800sqft house creates an environment that helps one to open up into the stillness within, thus helping the user to experience a truer beauty, function, and meaning in the space. Aham stands beautifully in the middle of lush greenery and mesmerizing natural beauty of Kerala, grabbing one’s attention from very far itself with its traditional sloped roofing at different heights. The brief aims to revert to a grounded lifestyle setup through a design that captures the essence of being connected to one’s roots and values. The client’s understanding of the relevance of landscape and the design team’s conscious effort to integrate that with the activities inside built spaces pilot the project decisions.
概念上的出发点是将中央庭院作为房子的 “灵魂”，将房子的其他部分联系起来。汽车门廊和休憩区有一块独特的景观，插入了雅丽和陶土砖的优雅背景，精心布置。客厅与房子的其他部分隔离开来，有大窗户，可以看到庭院的广阔景色。围绕着院子的通道给人以隐私，同时也过滤了穿过贾里纱窗的光线和风。非正式的起居室、餐厅和厨房空间都是一字排开的，是一个开放的计划，因此房子的这些活跃的核心部分保持着彼此的联系，并一直向院子开放。
The conceptual start was to place the central courtyard as the ‘soul’ of the house which ties the rest of the house. The Car porch and sit-out area have a distinct piece of landscape inserted with an elegant backdrop of jali and terracotta tiles carefully placed. The guest living is isolated from the rest of the house with large windows, giving an expansive view of the courtyard. The passage that runs around the courtyard gives privacy as well as filter the light and wind passing through the jali screens. The informal living, dining, and kitchen spaces, are all aligned in a row, in an open plan, thus these active cores of the house remain connected to each other and open themselves to the courtyard all the time.
建筑形式是量身定做的，在许多地方都能放松到这些绿色的口袋里，保证了真正意义上的与自然连接的目的。这个项目的编排是为了在诱人的中央庭院周围的墙壁和地板元素中创造一个开放、自由流动的运动。一楼的生活空间和两间卧室的设计是为了培养一种强烈的连接感，通过战略性的开口和切口来实现，作为楼层之间不可抗拒的视觉联系。
The built form is tailored to unwind into these green pockets at numerous points, reassuring the purpose of connecting to nature in a real sense. This project is choreographed to create an open, free-flowing movement within the elements of walls and floors around the alluring central courtyard. The living space and the 2 bedrooms on the first floor are designed to cultivate a strong feeling of connection, achieved through strategical openings and cut-outs that act as uncompelled visual linkages between floors.
简洁而大胆的美学设计为视觉和触觉处理奠定了基础。外墙的米色色调与周围美丽的绿色植物形成了优雅的对比。表面上的赤土覆盖物增强了这所迷人的房子的整体外观。饰面被设想为优雅地老化，随着时间的推移增加了审美吸引力。室内保持最低限度，只添加柚木的温暖色调。每一个元素都是定制的，以达到同步，创造出一个完全被视为艺术品的房子，消除了对明显的装饰和不相干的家具的需要。Aham展示了其在喀拉拉邦农村背景下的传统建筑风格的独特声明，并带有一丝现代性，唤起了新奇和原始的感觉。这种类型的建筑可能会散发出一种高度触动灵魂的品质，让人想起自然和建筑的力量。
A simple yet bold aesthetic that’s easy on the eyes sets the visual and tactile treatment base. The beige hue on the exterior walls adds elegant contrast to the beautiful greenery around. The terracotta claddings on the surfaces enhance the overall look of the charming house. Finishes are envisioned to age gracefully, adding to the aesthetic appeal over time. The interior is kept minimal by just adding the warm tone of the teak wood. Every element is customized to synchronize, creating a house that is wholly perceived as an artifact, eliminating the need for apparent décor and disconnected furniture. Aham showcases its unique statement of traditional architecture style in the rural context of Kerala with a touch of modernity evoking the feel of newness and rawness. This type of architecture may exude a heightened soul-touching quality, reminding one of the powers of both nature and architecture.
