砖屋位于卡纳塔克邦南部地区的沿海城镇曼加罗尔。作为一个多种文化交融的大熔炉，该市以其独特的景观和萦绕在该市老城区的点状遗产而闻名。 该场地位于该地区密集的城市扩张区。在搬到沙特后，客户的愿望是拥有一个靠近其祖先的家庭住宅。房子的设计简介中有他成长过程中走过老砖厂的故事，烟囱戳在椰子树上。还有那些红氧化物地板和石灰石膏处理的墙壁，使房子保持清爽凉爽。 把它放在一起，这个家庭的房子应该唤起对过去的回忆，同时保持设计的独特和现代的美感。芒格罗尔的特点是热带气候，一年中大部分时间都有大到中等的降雨量，夏季炎热。被动式设计策略和规划原则参与其中，以确保不间断的交叉通风。

The Brick House is located in the coastal town of Mangalore, in the south Karnataka region. A melting pot of many cultures coming together, the city is well-known for its inimitable landscape and dotted heritage lingering in the old parts of the town. The site is in a dense urban sprawl in that area. Having moved to Saudi, the client’s aspiration was to have a family home close to his ancestral roots. The design brief for the house had stories from his formative years walking past the old brick factories with chimneys poking above the coconut trees. And those of red-oxide flooring and lime plaster-finished walls which keep the house refreshingly cool. To put it together, this family house should evoke memories of the past while keeping the design unique and aesthetically modern. Mangalore features a tropical climate with heavy to moderate rainfall most of the year and hot summer days. Passive design strategies and planning principles were involved to ensure uninterrupted cross-ventilation.

在拐角地块上留下必要的后退后，房子被设计成几层。底层的两层被规划为半私人空间，上层则成为私人和独立空间。这些层次又被规划在不同层面的法庭所交叉。邻近道路的倾斜地形有助于人们在两个不同的层面上进入房子。低层有停车位和一个娱乐室，又称 “Majalis”，而上层则是主入口和正式的生活及用餐区。入口在一个三层高的天窗下打开，从土地上升起，通向天空。

After leaving the necessary setbacks on the Corner Plot, the house was designed in several layers. With the bottom two levels planned as Semi-Private, the upper levels become Private and independent. These layers are then further intersected by courts planned at various levels. The sloped topography of the abutting road helped one enter the house at two different levels. The Lower ground had parked along with an Entertainment den aka “Majalis”, whereas the upper level became the main entry with the formal living & dining areas. The entry opens under a triple-height skylight ascending from the land and opening into the sky.

从 “Thotti Mane”（庭院式住宅）中获得了一些品质，不同的庭院被拦截在多个层次和体量中。通过一个内向的计划，球场回应了天空的品质，光线透过砖块屏幕，甚至允许柔和的微风通过。错落有致的球场也让所有的用户可以在私人区域外享受延伸的球场，或者向球场开放。建筑表皮是分几层建造的，类似于地球的构成，使内层保持凉爽和受辱。所有的房间都有三层墙，红土砖石被夹在外面的砖狱和里面的认为砖块之间。外墙铺设的砖块排列成一个图案，创造了一个自己的表达方式，同时有助于减少建筑规模。传统瓦片坡屋顶的特点在这些砖块的排列中得到了诠释，这使得人们走过时，建筑看起来是在运动的。

Deriving some of its qualities from a “Thotti Mane” (Courtyard House) the varied courts are intercepted in multiple levels and volumes. With an inward-looking plan, the courts responded to the qualities of the sky, the light filtering through the brick screens or even allowing a soft breeze to pass through. Staggering of courts also allowed all the users to either enjoy an extended court outside the private areas or open into it. The building skin is constructed in several layers akin to the composition of earth keeping the inner layers cool and insulted. All the rooms have triple-layered walls, and laterite masonry is sandwiched between brick jail from the outside and thinks brick sections from the inside. The façade is laid with bricks arranged in a pattern creating an expression of its own while helping reduce the building scale. The characteristics of traditional tiled sloping roofs were interpreted in these brick arrangements which made it look like the building is in motion as one walked by.

通过使用天然材料，设计理念在室内得到了延续。 黑色石灰石和灰色坦杜尔构成了石膏饰面墙壁的画布。通过与现场承包商在现场进行的多种石膏装饰，探索了运动和庆祝工艺的经验。客户一直是设计过程的一部分，并热情地参与到现场的解释中。房子的艺术品是由项目建筑师构思和委托的，他作为设计团队的一员，将这些理念延续到了房子中。融入设计理念的材料词汇成为了过去的象征，并将其捆绑在一起，优雅地延续到未来。

The design philosophies are carried ahead in the interiors by using natural materials. Black Limestone & Grey Tandur formed the canvas for the plaster-finished walls. The experience of movement and celebration of craftsmanship was explored with multiple plaster finishes done in situ with the site contractors. The client was a constant part of the design process and was passionately involved in its interpretation on-site. The artwork for the house was conceptualized and commissioned by the project architect who being part of the design team, continued the philosophies into it. The material vocabulary infused with the design ideologies became emblematic of the past and tied together to age gracefully into the future.
