在尊重被Khadakwasla背水面和山丘的景色所包围的情况下，这个被淹没的房子被概念化为一个与轮廓融合的建筑作品。当我们开始设计这个3375平方英尺的农村住宅时，35度的斜坡和轮廓线似乎在向湖里走去，这是指导因素。一系列平行的、独立的墙体从斜坡上喷涌而出，将空间囊括其中。

Respecting the site emboldened by the views of Khadakwasla back-waters and the hills beyond, this submerged house was conceptualized as a piece of architecture merging with the contours. 35 degrees sloping site with the contours seemingly stepping down into the lake were the guiding factors when we set out to design this 3375sft rural belvedere. A series of parallel, free-standing walls erupting from the slopes encompass the spaces.

该计划分为三层：最上面的到达层、主要的中间层和最下面的层。进入场地的道路是从斜坡的顶端部分开始的，因此使房屋的入口位于最顶层，而房屋的其他区域则沿着斜坡下降。位于最顶层的入口是受欢迎的、质朴的，同时也是不显眼的。

The plan is divided into three levels: the topmost arrival level, the main mid-level, and the lowermost level. The approach road to the site is from the top part of the slope thus making the entrance of the house at the top-most level and other areas of the house descending down the slope. The entrance at the top level is welcoming and rustic and at the same time, inconspicuous.

美丽的元素，如用玄武岩石头雕刻的房子名称，浅浅的石水盆，以及不同形状的墙龛或Devlis（在当地语言中被称为），用来放置祭品，突出了这个空间。沿着高高的石墙雕刻的台阶，人们可以到达房子的中层。中层由客厅、餐厅、厨房和主卧室组成，可以看到180度的后海和远处的山峦。与景观平行的大梯田被引入，以捕捉风景。

Beautiful elements, such as the house name carved in basalt stone, shallow stone water basin, and the different shapes of wall niches or devlis (as is called in local language) to hold the votives, accentuates the space. One reaches the mid-level of the house by climbing down a flight of steps, carved within the high stone retaining walls. The mid-level, comprising of living, dining, kitchen, and the master bedroom offers a full 180-degree view of the backwaters and the hills beyond. Big terraces parallel to the view were introduced to capture the scenery.

房子的下层由另一间卧室和一个半开放的阳台空间组成。阳台空间的一侧是现场的风景，另一侧是内部的景观空间。尽量少用家具和工艺品来强调，目的是让房子几乎不被填满，而是更加开放。内置的水泥长椅和几件旧的木制家具，填补了房子里的必需品。由于有大的开口和露台，充足的光线和风穿过了房子。

The lower level of the house consists of another bedroom and a semi-open verandah space. The verandah space is flanked by the site scenery on one side and the internal landscaped space on the other. Minimally accentuated by furniture and artifacts, the aim was to keep the house barely filled up and more open. Built-in cement benches and a few pieces of old wood furniture, fill up for the essentials in the house. Ample light and wind traverses the house on account of big openings and terraces.

开口是透明的玻璃推拉门和另一个滑动的金属格子板的组合，这些格子板可以在轴上单独旋转。玻璃推拉门提供了一览无余的风景，而金属格子屏风则切断了刺眼的反射，确保了房屋的安全。这些屏风投射出美丽的科幻图案，随着光线的方向在不同的表面上移动。由于场地坡度大，结构系统必须精确制定，高大的石挡墙在不同的水平上固定土壤。

The openings are a combination of clear glass sliding doors and another screen of sliding metal lattice panels that individually rotate on their axis. While the glass sliding doors offer unobstructed views of the scenery, the metal lattice screens cut off the harsh reflections and ensure the security of the house. These screens cast beautiful sciography patterns, which travel on various surfaces along with the direction of light. The structural system had to be precisely worked out on account of the site’s steep slope, with the high stone retaining walls holding the soil at various levels.

由于位于暴雨地区，所以采用了倾斜的屋顶。房屋受到了当地建筑的影响。房子的地板是由皮革处理的当地石灰石组合而成，并以水泥地板为重点。毗邻进路的主入口采用了崎岖不平的玄武岩石材地板，与白色纹理的墙壁相得益彰。厕所也是由石灰石和水泥混合而成。在这个质朴的住所中，有一些参考当地建筑的小元素。

Being situated in areas that experience heavy rainfall, the sloping roof was introduced. House has influences of the vernacular architecture. The flooring of the house is a combination of leather-finished local limestone accentuated with the cement flooring. The main entrance, adjoining the approach road, is done in rugged Basalt stone floor complementing the plain white textured walls. Toilets are again done in a mix of limestone and cement. Small elements with references in local architecture find space in this rustic abode.
