在喀拉拉邦南部橡胶种植园的绿色背景下，船长住宅从一开始就吸引了人们的注意力。这座住宅在道德上与它的自然环境融为一体，它的模范特征突显出来，吸引了人们的目光。我们可以说，这栋房子是一个独特的热带适应性的代表，包裹着现代主义的当代设计前景。我们的客户Jerin Zachariah先生住在国外，他希望我们设计这所房子作为对他父母的颂歌。房子的永久居民是P.C.Zachariah上尉，他曾是商业海军的船长，他的妻子是Ponnamma Zachariah夫人。因此被称为 “船长住宅”。
Set amidst Southern Kerala’s sumptuous green backdrop of rubber plantations, The Captain’s Residence, captures one’s attention right from the far access. The dwelling morally gels in its natural context with its exemplary features popping out to catch the eye’s gentle attention. We can say that the house stands as a unique representation of tropical adaptiveness wrapped in modernist contemporary design outlook. Our client Mr. Jerin Zachariah, who lives abroad, wished for us to design the house as an ode to his parents. The permanent residents of the house being Capt. P.C. Zachariah, who was a former Captain in Merchant Navy and his wife Mrs. Ponnamma Zachariah. Hence the name Captain’s Residence.
这座房子是以开放的概念设计的，其活动空间作为相互依赖的体量连接在一起。汽车门廊和温馨的休憩区用一个小池塘和营地Jali屏风隔开，在房子的门槛处提供了一个红色和绿色的组合，令人赞叹。起居室、餐厅和厨房空间，都是一排排的，它们之间的墙体分隔非常有限。因此，这些空间形成了房子的活动核心，并一直保持连接和开放。这也有助于克服由于占地面积有限而造成的空间限制。
The house is designed in an open plan concept with its active spaces linked together as mutually dependent volumes. The Car porch and much welcoming sit out area are separated using a small coypond and camp jali screens which offers a play of complimenting red and green combination at the threshold of the house . The living, dining and kitchen spaces, all aligned in a row, have very limited wall separations between them. Thus these spaces which forms the active core of the house remain connected and open all the time. This also helps in overcoming the space constraints due to limited footprint that was available to build .
在用餐区旁边和卧室之间提供了一个庭院，把景观也带到了室内。 在核心区域的两侧提供了Jali营地屏风，以及向室外花园区域开放的大窗户，确保了足够的交叉通风和整个空气通道。院子里的呼吸墙和植物为这个空间增添了活力。房子总共有3间卧室–两间在一楼，一间在一楼，这些卧室的分区和位置都考虑到了所要求的隐私。室内装饰有简约的家具和胶合板设计，有助于增加空间的视觉容量。
A courtyard is provided beside the dining area and between the bedrooms, bringing in the landscape to the indoors as well. Camp jali screens provided on either side of the core area and large windows opening towards the outdoor garden area ensures enough cross ventilation and air passage throughout. The courtyard adds life to the space with breathing walls and plants. The house has a total of 3 bedrooms- two on the ground floor and one on the first, which are zoned and placed considering the requested privacy. The interiors are adorned with minimalist furniture and designs in plywood , aiding in increasing the visual capacity of spaces.
房子的内部和外部都选择了红色、白色和灰色的色调。红色的大胆平衡了灰色的柔和，并以最自然的方式赞美了室内和室外的绿色。从室内家具到立面设计，整个房子都采用了这种颜色平衡的技术。这座2300平方英尺的房子在第一眼看上去，简单而简约，其设计特点引领着它。横向分布的立面设计被一个悬臂箱巧妙地打乱了，这个悬臂箱横切开来，将巨大的立面分解成较轻的部分。这座房子平衡了空间比例，使其扎根于周围的环境。
A color pallete of Red, white and greys are chosen for the house interiors as well as exteriors.The boldness of red balances the subtleness of greys and compliments the indoor and outdoor greens in the most natural way. This same technique of color balancing is used throughout the house , from the interior furniture to the elevation design. This 2300 sq.ft house looks, simple and minimalist at the very first glance itself with its design features leading the way to it. The laterally spread orientation of the elevation design is subtly disrupted with a cantilevered box , that cuts across and breaks the massiveness in elevation into lighter sections. The house balances the space proportions in a way that makes it rooted to its environs.
