住宅体量被分为两个独立的街区，保持花园和庭院的连续性。我们开发了一个与室内住宅空间平行的开放空间的布局。这也允许最大限度地获取日光，并提供更好的交叉通风机会。在入口处，迎接我们的是一个低矮的屋檐和一个狭窄的垂直双高空间的游戏。光线从上方射入，照亮了整个狭窄的空间。精心设计的剪刀式桁架与光滑的低碳钢构件支撑着上面的屋顶和下面的生活空间。

The residential mass is divided into two separate blocks keeping the Garden and Courtyard continuous. We developed a layout with open spaces running parallel to the indoor residential spaces. This also allowed for getting in maximum daylight and providing better cross-ventilation opportunities. At the entrance, one is greeted by a play of a low height Gable roof and a narrow vertical double heighten space. Light is taken from above, which brightens the entire narrow space. Tactfully designed Scissor truss with sleek mild steel members holds the roof above and living space below.

精致的剪式桁架与简单大胆的塔楼相映成趣，在绿色的空地上展示了一个对比鲜明、令人回味的入口门面。设计布局是关于相互联系的空间和相互联系的体积。在内部，所有的空间都是相互自由流动的。正式的生活空间只在一侧与主屋空间相连，三面都是开放的，与花园相连。

The Delicate scissor truss against the Simple bold tower, displays a contrasting and evocative Entrance facade set in the green open space. The design layout is about interconnected spaces and interconnected volumes. Internally all the spaces are free flowing within one another. The volume of the formal living is connected with the main house spaces on only one side, leaving all the three sides open and gets connected to the Garden.

中间的双高体量是家庭室和用餐空间。有趣的是，这个双层高度的体量被夹在两个开放空间之间，为起居室区域提供了非常好的交叉通风，家庭成员在这里度过的时间最长。桥作为一个有趣的元素出现在这个双层高度的体量中。一楼的正式起居室和睡眠空间采用了山形屋顶。剪刀式桁架在两端提供了不间断的透明开口。檐口两端都保持透明，并由透明玻璃保护。

The middle double height volume takes the Family room and the Dinning spaces. Interestingly, this double height volume is sandwiched between two open spaces provides very good cross-ventilation in the living room area, where maximum time is spent by the family members. The bridge acts as an interesting element within the double height volume. The Formal living room and sleeping spaces on the First floor hold the Gable roof. The Scissor truss provides uninterrupted clear openings at the two ends. Both the gable ends are kept transparent and protected by clear glass.

这使得从内部空间可以很清楚地看到天空。坡屋顶的屋檐是以这样的方式设计的，它给人以浮动屋顶的感觉。这种品质是通过在屋檐和墙壁之间提供透明的玻璃窗实现的。由于屋檐保持浮动，自然光从所有四面进入内部空间。自然光在一天中和不同的季节里都有变化。这使得这些内部空间内的体验更加丰富和令人着迷。阁楼式住宅提供了丰富的空间，可以在一天中的不同时间和不同季节享受。所有的空间都被很好地整合在一起，并与外部结合。

This allows a good clear view of the sky from the inner spaces. The eaves of the gable roof have been worked out in such a manner that it gives the sense of floating roof. This quality is achieved by providing clear glass windows between the eaves and the wall. As the Gable roof is kept floating, natural light enters the inner space from all the four sides. The natural light changes throughout the day and during different seasons. This makes the experience within these inner spaces richer and mesmerizing. The Gable house provides a rich variety of spaces, which can be enjoyed during different times of the day and in different seasons. All the spaces are well integrated within each other as well as with outside.
