建筑物和客户简介 – 该房屋位于有门禁的社区，面积为4500平方英尺，周围都是平房，只有南边有通道。客户希望房子能够为一个四口之家设计。到目前为止，他们一直住在一个非常功利的房子里，他们希望转变为一个更接近自然的房子。他们希望设计是非常实用的，同时他们也相信最大限度。对我们来说，开发一个符合环境和客户要求的概念是一个旅程。
SITE AND CLIENT BRIEF – The House is on plot area of 4500 sq.ft. which is located in gated community surrounded by bungalows on adjoining sides and access way only on the south. The client wanted the house to be outlined for a family of four. Having lived in a very utilitarian house until now, they desired a shift to a house closer to nature. Expecting the design to be very functional they at the same time believed in maximalism. To develop a concept which responds to the context and the client brief has been a journey for us.
空间组织–内部区域的衔接保持简单，公共区、半私人区和私人区划分明显。公共区域包括起居室、餐厅、厨房和一间客卧，位于下层，主要卧室位于第一层，半私人空间位于上层。设计的核心是中央庭院，战略性地建立了所有三维空间的视觉联系和连接。底层的空间围绕着这个庭院呈C字形排列。与室外景观一起，这个四合院为生活和用餐提供了美丽的景色。放置在这个院子里的楼梯将人们带到上面的楼层。这层楼的卧室被一个共同的阅读区连接起来。楼梯进一步将人们带到第二层，包括娱乐室和一个景观露台。
SPATIAL ORGANIZATION – The internal zonal articulation is kept simple, with a distinct delineation of common, semi-private and private zones. The common areas comprising of living, dining, kitchen and a guest bedroom are housed on the lower level, main bedrooms on the first and the semi-private spaces lie on the level above it. The heart of the design is the central courtyard strategically created to establish visual linkages and connectivity in all the three dimensions. The spaces on the ground floor are arranged in a C around this court. Together with the outdoor landscape, this quad frame beautiful views for the living and the dining. The staircase placed in this courtyard takes one to the above floor. Bedrooms on this floor are riveted by a common reading area. The staircase further takes one to the second level encompassing the entertainment room and a landscaped terrace.
概念开发 – 主要概念是开放每个空间，并有与自然同步的绿色口袋。设计的核心是战略性地创建中央庭院以建立视觉联系。在离开规定的边际后，在地块正面朝向道路的一侧规划了一个额外的后退。在这块广阔的土地上构思了一个花园。起居室、餐厅和楼梯构成了房子的活动核心，它们之间的墙体分隔有限或没有。根据客户的要求，在这些空间内和周围规划了景观小块，以保持它们的开放性、连接性和与自然的同步性。俯瞰这些绿色范围的空间被设计在上述楼层。
CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT – The main concept was to open out each space and have green pockets in sync with nature. The heart of the design is the central courtyard strategically created to establish visual linkages. After leaving the regulation margins, an additional setback was planned on the front road facing side of the plot. A garden was conceptualized in this expanse. Living, dining and staircase forming the active core of the house, were designed with limited or no wall separation between them. Aligned to the client’s brief, landscaped pockets were planned in and around these spaces to keep them open, connected and in sync with nature. Spaces overlooking these green scopes were designed on the above floors.
外立面的两侧是不同层次的阳台和露台，以减少阳光的直接进入，从而作为主要功能空间的缓冲。因此，该立面在稳固性和透明度之间取得了平衡。盒子被用作元素，为主卧室的气候反应阳台增加了特色。从砖头到裸露的灰色石膏的材料转变使这个体量与众不同。这种盒子的概念在发展整体设计语言时被进一步发挥。室内色彩方案被概念化为中性，材料调色板为最小。所有的家具都是根据设计定制的，或者根据细节在现场手工制作的。木材和金属成为开发家具的关键元素。在白色和灰色的微妙背景下，这些材料在不同的空间被不同的使用，然后再叠加上粉色的家具和配件。
The facade is flanked by balconies and terraces at different levels to cut the direct entry of sunlight thus acting as buffer for the main functional spaces. The elevation thus strikes a balance between solidity and transparency. Boxes are used as elements to add character to the climate responsive balcony of the master bedroom. A shift in material from brick to exposed grey plaster distinguishes this volume. This concept of boxes is then taken further while developing the overall design language. The interior colour scheme is conceptualized to be neutral and the material palette minimal. All the furniture is either customized as per design or handcrafted on site as per details. Wood and metal became the key elements while developing the furniture. Used differently at different spaces against the subtle backdrops of white and grey, these materials are then overlaid with pastel furnishings and accessories.

The Courtyard – The central courtyard was strategically designed to blur the boundaries between inside and outside. It further helps in establishing visual linkages and connections in all three dimensions. Along with the garden, it frames beautiful views for the living area. In line with the deck, it dispenses an experience of being set in the greens for the dining. In the vertical axis, it connects all the floors exuding different experiences at each level. The black terrazzo flooring done on site by local craftsmen and the umbrella tree becomes the highlight on the ground floor, the play of natural light through the slit window on the first and the sciography cast by the skylight on the second. Lastly, this courtyard houses the staircase. With its sleek design in wood and metal in line with the house’s furniture concept, the staircase is crafted elsewhere and then assembled on site.
窗口座椅–旨在为外墙增加特色，窗口座椅的设计与盒子的概念同步。从砖头到裸露的灰色石膏的材料转变，使这个体量在外部与众不同。客厅里的这个座位将花园和室内连接起来，是一个舒适的角落，可以在欣赏风景的同时喝杯咖啡。
The Window Seating – Designed to add character to the façade, the window seating was designed in sync with the box concept. A shift in material from brick to exposed grey plaster distinguishes this volume on the exterior. Connecting the garden with the interior this seating in the living room is a cozy nook to sip a cup of coffee while enjoying the view.
阳台–在二楼，俯瞰一楼的花园的是阳台。设计的目的是为了满足双重目的，一是作为小型派对或聚会的溢出空间，二是作为一个温暖的小阁楼，供一些家庭使用。大部分的空间被规划为自由的或松散的家具，以满足第一个功能，而一个带有秋千元素的金属凉亭被概念化为第二个功能。然后添加绿色植物来完成这个空间。
The Terrace – On the second floor, overlooking the garden on the ground floor is the terrace. Designed to satisfy dual purpose, one as a spillover space for small parties or gatherings and two to act as a warm alcove for some family time. Most of the space was planned to be kept free or with loose furniture to cater to the first function while a metal gazebo with swing element was conceptualized for the second. Greenery was then added to complete the space.
