当建筑师被邀请设计房屋时，”与众不同，但又简单 “是一个常见的客户需求。框土屋 “可以被称为 “牛眼”。当D’well介入时，一个传统的古吉拉特人6口之家想用 “新房子 “代替他们的旧房子。3950平方英尺的设计背后的驱动力是创造传统和现代的适当平衡。这可以生动地反映在所使用的技术、材料以及老房子的本质上，这些都被巧妙地保留下来，并牢记业主的情感和倾向，他们有现代的视野，但又有深厚的基础。

“Something different, yet simple” is a common client demand when an architect is approached for designing a house. Bull’s eye is what “Frammed Earth House” can be called. A customary Gujarati family of 6 wanted “a new house” in place of their old one when D’well stepped in. The driving force behind the 3950 Sq. Ft design was to create the right balance of the traditional and the modern. This can be vividly reflected in the techniques used, the materials as well as the essences of the old residence which have been delicately retained keeping in mind the sentiments and disposition of the owners who have a modern outlook and yet, are deeply grounded.

该住宅符合广泛的要求，提供4间卧室，2间客厅，一楼和二楼各一间，以及厨房、用餐区、普济区和一楼的停车场。房子被住宅包围，只留下一个可以利用的立面，即西面。规划中最引人注目的元素之一是战略性地使用了众所周知但很少使用的可持续发展做法–夯土。

The residence complies with an extensive brief to provide 4 bedrooms, and 2 living rooms, one on each first and second floor along with a kitchen, dining area, puja area, and parking on the ground floor. The house is surrounded by residences leaving a single facade whose elevation could be exploited, the west. One of the most striking elements in the planning is the strategic use of the well-known yet rarely used sustainable practice of rammed earth.

融入土质材料的想法源于居民的文化根基的生活方式。二楼的主卧室被放置在西南方向，作为一个悬臂立方体，其墙壁由夯土建成。面向午后阳光的14英寸的夯土墙提供了天然的隔热性能，以保持温度并给房间带来一种主要的凉爽气氛。这也与建筑其他部分的石质颗粒纹理形成了一种美丽的对比。此外，通过在突出的立方体周围创建一个立面框架，使其成为 “框架式 “土屋的焦点，建筑的吸引力得到了提高。

The idea of incorporating earthy materials stemmed from the culturally rooted lifestyle of the inhabitants. The second-floor master bedroom has been placed on the southwest as a cantilevered cube with its walls built with rammed earth. The 14” rammed earth walls facing the afternoon sun provided natural insulation to maintain the temperature and give a dominantly cool atmosphere to the room. This also creates a beautiful contrast with the stone granule texture with which the rest of the building has been finished. Further, the architectural appeal has been aesthetically enhanced by creating an elevation frame around the jutting cube making it the cynosure of the “Frammed” earth house.

房子的布局可以被归类为外向型；由于居民的亲和力和与邻居的频繁互动，生动的公共空间是房子的一个常规特征。另一方面，设计中不可或缺的是绿色插件，以保证充足的空气和通风。精心雕琢的阳台和天窗等功能已被纳入，以突出这些。

The house layout can be categorized as extroverted; lively common spaces are a regular feature in the house owing to the residents’ amiability and frequent interactions with their neighborhood. On the other hand, what is integral to the design is the green plug-ins for plentiful air and ventilation. The carefully carved-out balconies and features like skylights have been incorporated to accentuate these.

从露台延伸出来的凉棚不仅在一天中的不同时段创造了有趣的景观，而且它们还形成了视觉上的穿孔屏障，以保护露台上的爬山虎的隐私。考虑到该项目接地气的本质，悬臂式踏步楼梯采用了木质装饰，并有黄铜装饰的栏杆，而用烟熏柚木制作的家具，其深色的色调在米色的地板上显得非常突出，所有这些都是由温暖的色调组成，在室内也散发着泥土的感觉。

Pergolas extending out from the terrace not only create an interesting sciagraphy at different times of the day, but they also form a visually perforated barrier for privacy with falling creepers from the terrace. Keeping in mind the grounded essence of the project, the cantilevered treading staircase has been finished in wood and has a brass finish railing while the furniture done in smoked teak wood with its dark tones stands out from the beige accented flooring, all of which are comprised of warm tones exuding the earthy feel in interiors too.
