Buoyant Hue是一座紧邻郁郁葱葱的稻田的房子，从很远的地方就吸引了人们的注意力，其正面装饰着彩色的Jali屏风。这些带孔的屏风起到了抵御南方刺眼阳光的作用，同时也有助于捕捉来自附近田地的风，从而保持室内凉爽的小气候。客户的要求是建立一个简单而现代的房子，可以容纳一个6口之家，并需要充足的绿色空间。拟建地点的面积为（16米x24米），其南侧紧邻道路，并在东西两座住宅楼之间筑巢。

Buoyant Hue is a house that is set adjacent to the lush green paddy field, grabbing one’s attention from very far itself with hued jali screens ornamenting its front facade. These perforated screens function as a barrier against the harsh south sun and also aid in capturing the wind from the nearby fields thus maintaining a cooler microclimate inside. The client brief called for a simple yet modern house that could accommodate a family of 6 and required ample green spaces. The proposed site measuring (16mx 24m) had its south side abutting the road and nests in between two residential buildings to the east and west.

设计是对环境的主要回应，并牢记保留现有的两棵椰子树，为场地增添魅力。开放式规划发挥了关键作用，以确保空间之间的无缝流动以及自然采光和通风，突出了用户的整体体验。房屋的两个轴线都以这样的方式排列，使其向绿色空间开放。大门和隔断补充了这种开放性，并为这些轴线提供了框架视野。一楼是起居室、餐厅和厨房区域，以及朝西的父母卧室和朝北的客人卧室。厕所被设计成一个院子，从而确保了一个光线充足的绿色空间。

The design was a primary response to the context and kept in mind to retain the two existing coconut trees that added a charm to the site. Open planning played a key role to ensure a seamless flow between the spaces along with natural lighting and ventilation that accentuates the overall experience for the users. Both the axes of the house were aligned in such a manner that they opened toward green space. The large doors and partitions complemented the openness and framed views toward these axes. The ground floor houses the living, dining, and kitchen areas along with the parent’s bedroom toward the west and the guest bedroom towards the north. The toilets were designed with a courtyard in them thus ensuring a well-lit and green space.

正式的起居室可以很容易地通过一扇可移动的门与其他空间分开，以确保家庭的最佳隐私。另外，较低的天花板高度增加了房屋内的亲密感和舒适感。与房子里的每个空间相邻的庭院提供了一种特殊的宁静感，如画的植物全景让我们把户外的一小部分带入室内，从而使自然成为其中的一部分。父母卧室的外部庭院模糊了室外和室内的界限，成为这对老夫妇个性化的自然休闲场所。这些天窗还起到了堆积热空气的作用，确保房屋内的适当通风。

The formal living could easily be separated from the other spaces by a movable door that ensures optimum privacy for the family. Also, the lower ceiling heights increased the sense of intimacy and comfort within the house. The courtyards adjoining every space in the house provide a special sense of serenity with a panorama of picturesque plants that allows us to bring a little piece of the outdoors inside thus making nature a part of it. The exterior courtyard in the parent’s bedroom blurs the boundary between the outdoors and indoors and acts as a personalized nature retreat for the elderly couple. These skylights also function as stacks for the hot air to escape and ensure proper ventilation within the house.

房子的整个魅力在于它的楼梯，它必须是透明的，让光线通过它们进入它下面的庭院。因此，用定制的钢材设计的楼梯成为一个美观的解决方案，解决了这种情况下的功能问题。另一个引人注目的特点是悬空的板块，它似乎从家庭生活的单一支撑上盘旋而下，确保了底层空间之间的不间断流动。楼梯和吊板的设计为我们提供了一个探索未知的机会。一楼有一个上层家庭生活区，一个酒吧台，以及一个杂物间，还有主卧室和孩子的卧室。整个材料调色板保持了极简的风格，科塔石地板、柚木和裸露的混凝土天花板，为室内增添了原始和广阔的感觉。

The entire charm of the house lies around its stairs which had to be something transparent to let light enter through them for the courtyard beneath it. Hence stairs designed of customized steel became an aesthetically pleasing solution to the functional issue posed by the situation. Another striking feature is the hanging slab that appears to hover from single support in the family living ensuring an uninterrupted flow between the spaces on the ground floor. The design of both the stairs and the hanging slab provided us with an opportunity to explore the unknown. The first floor houses an upper family living, a bar counter, and a utility room along with the master bedroom and the kid’s bedroom. The entire material palette is kept minimal with Kota stone flooring, teak wood, and exposed concrete ceilings that add a raw and expansive feel to the interiors.
