我们作为建筑师的方法–Contour House坐落在Muvattupuzha郊区Pezhakkapilly的山顶上。在风景如画的背景下，这个6300平方英尺的单层住宅坐落在一个70分的场地上。客户是一位企业家，他希望有一个宽敞舒适的住所，俯瞰郁郁葱葱的景观，以逃避与工作有关的压力和繁忙的日程。场地的地形是在这个过程中遇到的一个有趣的挑战。客户还希望保留现有的植被。这一点是通过沿等高线建设来解决的。
Our Approach as Architects – The Contour House is set on top of the hills of Pezhakkapilly in the suburbs of Muvattupuzha. Set in a picturesque backdrop, this 6300 sq. ft. single-storied abode is located on a 70-cent site. The client, an entrepreneur, wanted a spacious and comfortable dwelling overlooking the lush, landscaped premises to escape from work-related stress and a busy schedule. The topography of the site was an interesting challenge encountered in the process. The client also wanted the existing vegetation to be retained. This was tackled by building along the contours.
在不影响现有场地地理环境的情况下，改变了场地的层次，从而使房子坐落在一个郁郁葱葱的环境中，提供了一个撤退式的氛围。等高线住宅，正如它的名字一样，是在尊重场地轮廓的基础上设置的。这导致了引人入胜的体积组合的发展，带来了一个坚实的外部和流动的内部空间配置。小区的绿色和水体被仔细地与设计相结合，增加了视觉上的愉悦感。进一步的规划是通过分析场地的微气候和生态环境来完成的。
Altering the gradation of the site was done without disturbing the existing site geography which resulted in a house set amidst a lush green setting that offers a retreat-like ambiance. The Contour House, true to its name is set respecting the nature of the contours of the site. This led to the development of engaging volumetric combinations that brought about a solid exterior and fluid interior spatial configuration. Pockets of green and water bodies are carefully integrated with the design adding visually pleasing aspects. Further planning was done by analyzing the microclimate and ecological aspects of the site.
细节–坡度被作为一个优势来使用，在住宅中划分出公共和私人空间。室内空间以场地轮廓为灵感进行雕刻。主入口通向中间层，容纳了生活空间。祈祷室位于上层，下层则是厨房、餐厅和工作区。卧室沿等高线布置，远离公共区域，为用户提供隐私。UPVC窗户的使用无缝地建立了外部和内部的视觉连接。用这些透明的墙来处理空间，使用户能够在舒适的室内空间里享受外部景观。
Details – The slope was used as an advantage to zone and segregate public and private spaces in the residence. The interior spaces are sculpted with site contour as the inspiration. The main entry leads to the intermediate level which accommodates the living space. The prayer room is placed on the upper level and the lower level contains the kitchen, dining, and work area. Bedrooms are arranged along the contour levels away from the public zones to provide privacy for the users. Usage of UPVC windows seamlessly establishes exterior to interior visual connectivity. Treatment of spaces with these transparent walls enables the user to enjoy the exterior landscape in the comforts of interior spaces.
庭院被精心整合到计划中，打破了巨大的单一结构，在视觉上与所有公共区域和家庭空间相连。客户是一个非常善于交际的人，他需要空间来举办家庭聚会，长长的阳台被纳入主入口附近，以达到同样的目的。无柱的中央家庭空间是该住宅的另一个主要亮点。这增加了空间的宽敞度，创造了一个开放和灵活的布局，在家庭聚会时可以容纳更多的人。
Courtyards are carefully integrated into the plan breaking the massive singular structure and are visually connected to all the common areas and family spaces. The client is a highly sociable person who required spaces to host family gatherings, long verandahs are incorporated near the main entry for the same purpose. Column-free central family space is another main highlight of this residence. This adds to the spaciousness creating an open and flexible layout to accommodate more people during family gatherings.
沿着斜坡和连接各层的楼梯提供了模仿场地轮廓的细长窗户。这个空间作为一个休闲区，成为一个视角，在那里人们可以欣赏到从上坡逐渐到来的雨水。公共区域上方的天窗在白天为空间提供自然光。带有复杂的几何图案的屏风被用来为家庭中的女性成员隔出一个舒适的、私人的马杰里。在这个中央空间有一个木制楼梯通往屋顶的无边泳池，为室内空间增加了亮度，并没有成为开放布局的障碍。
Sinuous windows mimicking the site contour are provided along the slope and stairs connecting the levels. This space acts as a recreational zone becoming a viewpoint from where one can enjoy the gradual arrival of rain from uphill. Skylights above the common areas flood the space with natural light during the daytime. Screens with intricate geometric patterns are used to partition out a comfortable, private majlis for the female members of the family. A wooden staircase in this central space to access the rooftop infinity pool adds lightness to the interior space and does not become a hindrance to the open layout.
每间卧室都只分配了所需的最佳空间，以避免使其不堪重负和拥挤。卧室的设计符合用户的品味，增加了个性化的细节设计。窗户的适当位置确保房间受益于交叉通风和充足的自然光进入。厨房是白天使用率最高的空间，被放置在小区的中心，作为一个监视点，可以看到主要和后方的通道。木质地板的自然外观和温暖为室内空间增添了舒适感和活力。
Each bedroom is assigned only the optimum space that’s required to avoid making it overwhelming and packed. Bedrooms are designed to suit the taste of the user adding personalized detailing. Proper positioning of windows here ensures that the rooms benefit from cross ventilation and entry of ample natural light. The kitchen is the most utilized space during daytime and is placed in the center of the plot acting as a surveillance point with a view towards the main and rear access. The natural look and warmth of the wooden flooring add coziness and life to the interior spaces.
院子 – 院子空间已被无缝地整合到规划中，作为单体之间郁郁葱葱的空隙，这反过来又将房屋的不同空间融合在一起。除了形成住宅的审美筋骨外，它还能诱导自然通风，为依偎在它们之间的室内空间带来适宜的微气候。这些包含植被和水体的空间为周围的公共空间提供了精美的景观，这反映了对外部自然的访问，并增强了房屋内部空间的视觉质量。院子由于充足的日光和战略定位，变成了休闲活动的通道，反映了客户对社交的亲和力。
Courtyard – Courtyard spaces have been seamlessly integrated into the plan as voids of lush green pockets between the singular mass, which in turn amalgamates diverse spaces of the house. In addition to its role of forming aesthetic sinews of the residence, it also induces natural ventilation, bringing in a congenial micro-climate to the interior spaces nestled between them. These spaces encompassing vegetation and water bodies offer exquisite views from the common spaces around it, which reflects access to outside nature, and enhances the visual quality of the spaces inside the house. The courtyards due to the virtue of abundant daylight and strategic positioning turn into avenues of recreational activities, reflecting the client’s affinity for sociability.
外观–外观形式包括由波浪形板块连接的投射实体，该板块源自场地轮廓。外墙装饰有格子图案，其灵感来自于基于客户的宗教和文化信仰的伊斯兰图案。这是在数控切割的金属屏风和百叶窗上执行的，为正面增添了宏伟的气势。当自然光照射在屏风和百叶上时，所显示的光与影的游戏增加了美学质量。总而言之，外部和内部空间都经过精心设计，以满足每个家庭成员的要求和个人喜好，唯一的目的是为他们创造一个欢快和宁静的家。
Exterior – The exterior form comprises projected solid masses connected by wavy slabs derived from site contour. The facade is adorned with a lattice pattern inspired by Islamic motifs based on the religious and cultural beliefs of the client. This was executed on CNC-cut metal screens, and louvers adding grandeur to the frontage. The play of light and shadow displayed when natural light strikes the screens and louvers adds to the aesthetic quality. In a nutshell, exterior and interior spaces are carefully designed to meet the requirements and personal preferences of each family member with the sole aim of creating a jovial and peaceful home for them.
