在混乱的日常生活中保持平静。这是客户对其住宅提供的首要要求。Caper住宅围绕一个面积为5226平方英尺的地块而建,北侧有街道连接,东侧有邻居的房子,两侧是广阔的稻田。住宅以裸露的混凝土和天然砖为主要装饰材料。该住宅通过利用庭院、空气流动和自然光来应对气候和环境,促进了可持续设计的理念。1400平方英尺的空间包括两个区块–南北轴线上的私人区和倾斜10度的半私人区。空间组织包括两层的起居室和用餐区,四间卧室,以及一个双层高的开放庭院。

Calmness in the chaos of daily life. This was the prime requirement provided by the clients for their homes. Caper residence is built around an area of 5226 sqft of a plot, with a street connection on the Northside, a neighboring house on the Eastside, and vast paddy fields on the sides. The dwelling has exposed concrete and natural brick as the main finishes. The house fosters the idea of a sustainable design by responding to the climate and context using courtyard, air movement, and natural light. The 1400 sqft comprises two blocks- the private zone on the north-south axis and the semi-private zone inclined at an angle of 10 degrees. The spatial organization comprises of two levels with living rooms and a dining area, four bedrooms, and a double-height open courtyard.

可持续设计 – 分区。住宅是根据风向、阳光路径、道路通道和邻近稻田的景观进行分区的。通道、汽车门廊和房屋的入口都来自南方。卧室位于东面,以赶上稻田中日出的壮丽景色。根据Vaastu Shastra的规定,普济室被放在北边。自然通风。自然通风是设计住宅时的一个核心概念。包含正式和家庭生活区以及庭院的中轴线是房屋内自然通风的核心。微风在开放式的厨房和餐厅也受到欢迎。所有的卧室都有交叉通风以保证居住者的舒适。通过各种适应场地和建筑的气候响应措施,房屋内部与外部相比,温度下降了4摄氏度。

Sustainable Design – Zoning: The residence was zoned in response to the wind direction, sun path, road access, and views of the neighboring paddy fields. The access road, car porch, and entrance to the house are from the south. The bedrooms are situated in the east to catch the breathtaking views of the sunrise in the paddy fields. The puja room is placed in the north as per Vaastu Shastra. Natural Ventilation: Natural ventilation was a core concept while designing the residence. The central axis containing the formal and family living areas and courtyards is the core for natural ventilation inside the house. The breezes are also welcomed in the open kitchen and dining. All bedrooms have cross ventilation for occupant comfort. Through various climate-responsive measures adapted to the site and building, there is a decrease of 4 degrees Celsius in the interior of the house in comparison to the exterior.

采光和遮阳。通过使用砖砌墙、大窗户、阳台和天窗,住宅成功实现了充足的采光;从而减少了对人工照明的需求。盆栽填充物石板天花板之间的三角形开口在地板上创造了引人注目的光影图案。整个房子都使用了LED等生态友好型灯具。照明设备的数量已经保持在最低水平。材料。住宅采用了RCC框架,砌体采用了红火砖。砖块在一些空间暴露出来,并用于生活区和院子里的jali墙。砖石结构在内部用POP抹灰,在外部用水泥抹灰。选择POP是因为它减少了所需的油漆量。使用了UPVC窗户。

Light and Shade: Ample daylighting has been successfully achieved in the residence through the use of brick jali walls, large window openings, balconies, and skylights; thereby decreasing the need for artificial lighting. The triangular openings between the potted filler slab ceiling create striking patterns of light and shadow on the floor. Eco-friendly fixtures like LEDs have been used throughout the house. The number of lighting fixtures has been kept to a minimum. Materials: The residence is held with an RCC frame, and the masonry is done in red fire bricks. The bricks are exposed in some spaces and used for the jali walls in the living area and courtyard. The masonry is finished with POP plaster on the interior and cement plaster on the exterior. POP was chosen as it decreases the amount of paint required. UPVC windows have been used.

雨水收集。开放式露台作为雨水的集水区。这样收集到的雨水被过滤并储存在位于厨房附近的7000L UG集水池中;它被用来做园艺和洗车。透水地面覆盖。住宅的前院铺设了绿色的铺路石,让雨水进入地表覆盖层,补充该地区的地下水位。场地的侧院和后院都有草坪。

Rainwater Harvesting: Open terrace acts as a catchment area for rainwater. Rainwater thus harvested is filtered and stored in a 7000L UG sump located near the kitchen; it is used for gardening and car washing. Permeable Ground Cover: Front yard of the residence is paved with green pavers that let the rainwater to the ground cover and recharge the area’s groundwater level. Lawns are maintained in the side and back yards of the site.

外观–场地上的车辆足迹被保持在最低限度。汽车门廊和入口门廊的设计采用了极简主义风格,采用细长的金属柱和混凝土板。灰色、红色和白色的色调被用来带出一个简单的外墙。场地上使用了本地植物,以减少对灌溉的需求。场地内没有现有的树木。已种植了新的树木用于遮阳。

Exterior – The vehicular footprint on the site has been kept to a minimum. The car porch and entrance porch are designed in a minimalistic style with slender metal columns and concrete slabs. Shades of grey, red, and white have been used to bring out a simple façade. Native plants have been used on the site to reduce the need for irrigation. There were no existing trees within the site. New trees have been planted for shading.

室内 – 入口门廊通向双层高的正式客厅,通过它可以到达连接卧室区、庭院、餐厅和厨房区的中央循环区。灰色、白色和红色的色调已经在整个住宅中实现了,作为其色彩方案。正式的起居室和用餐区裸露的双高天花板在混凝土板之间有一部分填充板,这部分填充板是用土盆和三角形切口完成的。前立面和院墙的双高砖砌jali墙确保了屋内有充足的日光和微风。从院墙上随意伸出的砖块创造了一个视觉上令人愉悦的图案。两间带附属浴室的卧室被隐藏在一起,确保了隐私。所有的空间都有裸露的混凝土天花板,给住宅带来了质朴的装饰。开放式厨房与用餐区相连。一个小的工作区提供了通往厨房外面院子的通道。祈祷室位于用餐区附近的一个私人院子里。

Interior – The entrance porch leads to the double-height formal living through which one can reach the central circulation zone connecting to the bedroom zone, courtyard, and dining and kitchen zone. Shades of grey, white, and red have been achieved throughout the residence as its color scheme. The exposed double height ceiling of the formal living and dining area has a portion of filler slab in between the concrete slab which is finished in earthen pots and triangular cut-outs. Double-height brick jali walls in the front façade and courtyard wall ensure a good amount of daylight and breezes inside the house. Bricks projecting randomly from the courtyard wall creates a visually pleasing pattern. Two bedrooms with attached bathrooms are tucked away together ensuring privacy. All the spaces have exposed concrete ceilings which give a rustic finish to the residence. The open kitchen has a connection with the dining area. A small work area provides access to the kitchen yard outside. The puja room is situated in a private courtyard near the dining.

这个区域的楼梯直接通向上面的家庭生活区,从那里可以进入上面的卧室和曼达帕大厅。楼梯的前两层有木板支撑在金属箱体上,第三层是用混凝土装饰。楼梯有细的GI管作为扶手,保持最小的装饰。两间上层卧室都有附属阳台,可以看到稻田的高处。住宅里有一个最小的木制和柳条家具的组合,以配合颜色方案。

The staircase in this area leads directly to the family living above, from where one can access the upper bedrooms and mandapa hall. The first two flights of the staircase have wooden boards supported on a metal box section and the third flight is finished in concrete. The staircase has thin GI pipes as handrails, keeping a minimal finish. Both the upper bedrooms have attached balconies for elevated views toward the paddy fields.
