该地块位于繁华的孟买郊区，在宁静的Sahyadri山上。西部高止山脉几乎在任何方向都有广阔的视野，是这块原本简单的土地的亮点。对这些风景如画的捕捉和构架是设计背后的主要灵感。颠覆性的建筑设法创造出从纪念碑到舒适的不同规模的空间，同时它也将周围的自然环境融入到家中。

The site is located on the outskirts of bustling Mumbai, in the quiet of the Sahyadri hills. The sweeping views of the Western Ghats in almost any direction are the highlight of this otherwise simple parcel of land. The capturing and framing of these picturesque landscapes were the primary inspiration behind the design. The disruptive architecture manages to create spaces of varying scales from monumental to cozy while it integrates into the home, the nature that surrounds it.

抵达的地方被规划在最高层，在一个大的天幕下，看起来像一个翅膀，框住了这个云中之屋的第一眼。入口处的浮动荷花池在从孟买长途跋涉后提供了新鲜的空气。该结构是混凝土和金属之间的简单交叉。由此产生的间隙空间转化为不同规模的院子，可能是可居住的，也可能只是形成有利的位置。两面平行的混凝土墙作为主轴线穿过房子，无缝连接了三个交叉的区块，分别承担着公共、私人和娱乐的功能。

The arrival is planned at the highest level under a large canopy that appears like a wing framing the first glimpse of this House in the Clouds. The floating lotus pond at the entrance offers a breath of fresh air after the long drive from Mumbai. The structure is a simple intersection between concrete and metal. The resulting interstitial spaces translate into courtyards of various scales that may be habitable or simply form vantage points. Two parallel concrete walls act as the main axes cutting across the house and seamlessly connecting the three intersecting blocks which serve the respective functions of public, private, and recreation.

大面积的推拉窗设法将外界引入，将自然景观与房屋无缝结合。尽管该地区的天气条件极端恶劣，但大型悬臂、阳台和部分覆盖的游泳池使空间可以使用。房屋各层的图案来自于土地的自然梯田。悬空的金属块和南端的悬臂使自然地形不受干扰地在其下流动。

Large sliding windows manage to bring the outside in, seamlessly integrating the natural landscape with the house. Large overhangs, verandahs, and the partially covered swimming pool makes spaces usable despite the extreme weather conditions of the region. The rubric of the various levels of the house is derived from the natural terracing of the land. The suspended metal block and the cantilevered southern tip allow for the natural terrain to flow under it uninterrupted.

在山顶上的最大挑战之一是水的稀缺。我们利用地形确保将场地的最低部分变成一个雨水库。所有的屋顶排水和场地地表径流都被引向这个计划以收集水。在施工过程中，从现场挖出的岩石被用来建造挡土墙，这极大地增加了住宅的山地吸引力。建筑的成功在于，你转过的每一个角落，房子的戏剧性和它所捕捉到的景色都会随着你的变化而变化。该结构是对其周围山脉之美的颂歌。

One of the biggest challenges about being on the top of the mountain is the scarcity of water. We used the topography to ensure that the lowest part of the site was turned into a rainwater reservoir. All roof drainage and site surface runoff were channelized towards this plan to harvest water. Rocks excavated from the site during construction were used to build retaining walls and this strikingly added to the hill station appeal of the home. The success of the architecture lies in the fact that every corner you turn, the drama of the house, and the view that it captures changes and moves along with you. The structure is an ode to the beauty of the mountains that surround it.
