在古吉拉特邦靠近Thol鸟类保护区的大片农田的一角，Cool Shed最初应该是一个带有储藏室的安全小屋。因此，项目名称是对人们熟悉的建筑类型–工具棚的文字游戏，其中一个简单的结构是用来储存农业和汽车维修的机器和设备。凉棚随后被重新考虑为服务区，最后被设计和建造为周末度假的外屋。
In the corner of a large farmland located in close proximity to the Thol bird sanctuary in Gujarat, Cool Shed was initially supposed to be a security cabin with a store room. The project name is therefore a wordplay on the familiar building typology of a tool shed, wherein a simple structure is built to store machines and equipment for farming and automobile repairing. Cool Shed was then rethought as service quarters before finally being designed and built as an outhouse for weekend getaways.
考虑到精心培育的植被吸引了鸟类来到这里，我们的意图是创造亲密的空间，可以看到湖泊、花园和种植园的景色–同时在地面上占用最小的面积。狭长的窗户、凉棚和天窗吸引了自然光，而裸露的RCC砖顶则打断了刺眼的西晒。凉棚作为一个承重结构，采用裸露的RCC和砖砌体，其纹理与周围环境相得益彰。
Considering the carefully cultivated vegetation that attracts birds to the site, our intention was to create intimate spaces with views of the lake, the garden, and the plantations – all whilst occupying a minimal footprint on the ground. The long slit windows, pergolas, and clerestories draw in natural light whereas the exposed RCC brise-soleil interrupts the glare of the harsh west sun. Cool Shed is built as a load-bearing structure with exposed RCC and brick masonry whose textures complement their immediate surroundings.
