房子的地点位于班加罗尔一个快速发展的地区的边缘,它的背景是一个岩石山丘。它位于一个有门卫的社区的T形路口,场地从道路向西分三层升高。这三层成为建立房屋及其与地面联系的基础。房子通常是不同功能和愿望的复杂组合;集体与个人,公共与私人,正式与非正式,直接与缓慢,大与亲密。为一位即将退休的医生设计的房子,试图拥抱这种复杂性。从程序上讲,三个酒吧被设想为公共、半公共和私人空间,围绕一个大院子排列。流动的脊柱蜿蜒在院子周围,提供与外部的连接。

The site for the house is located on the fringe of a fast developing area of Bangalore, which has a rocky hillock as the backdrop. Located on a T junction in a gated community the site steps up away from the road towards west in three levels. These three levels became the basis for establishing the house and its connection to the ground. A house is often a complex assemblage of disparate functions and desires; Collective vs individual, public vs private, formal vs informal, immediacy vs slowness, largeness vs intimate. The house for a soon to be retired doctor sought to embrace this complexity. Programmatically, three bars were conceived to hold public, semi-public and private spaces arranged around a large courtyard. Circulation spine meanders around the courtyard offering connect to the outside.

院子本身是一个奇妙的装置,将不同的实体融合成一个连贯的整体。它在不可控的自然和稳定的建筑形式之间进行调解,并为内部或外部的二元区分增加了另一个层次。在这个房子里,三层开放空间提供了三个不同的区域;前院用于过渡,庭院用于聚会,后院用于退缩。开口、窗户和缝隙被精心安排,以提供与这些开放空间的连接。这些从内部到外部的连接规避了沿路循环空间的序列性,模糊了设定的程序性空间之间的界限。

The courtyard itself is a marvelous device that blends disparate entities into a coherent whole. It mediates between the uncontrollable nature and the stable built form and adds another layer to the binary distinction of in or out. In this house, three layers of open spaces provide three different zones; front yard for transition, courtyard for congregation and backyard for retreat. Openings, windows and slits are carefully choreographed to provide connect to these open spaces. These connections from inside to outside circumvents the serial nature of circulation space along a path and blurs the boundary between set programmatic spaces.

整体建筑形式被一系列的切面所包裹,将三个程序性的条块结合在一起,并暗示着舒适的整体性和无休止的连续性,也许这让人联想到最初的阶梯式场地提供的多种视野。这些切面在 “硬 “的岩石和 “软 “的景观之间交涉,并建立了一个介于两者之间的条件,就像它所环绕的庭院一样。

The overall built form is wrapped by a series of facets that unites the three programmatic bars and suggests comforting togetherness and ceaseless continuity perhaps evocative of the multiple horizons the initial stepped site offered. The facets negotiate between the ‘hard’ rocks and the ‘soft’ landscape and establish an in-between condition much like the courtyard around which it wraps.
