Chuzhi是一个有助于了解在通常被认为 “不适合 “建设的奇怪地点可以建造什么的项目。位于风景如画的Shoolagiri的一个名为Sanctity Ferme的门控社区，业主陷入了困境，因为社区外围有一些不受欢迎的不起眼的地块，其特点是陡峭的岩石地形、巨大的树木和茂密的植被，使得人们不愿意在那里建房，因为可建面积似乎较少。
Chuzhi is a project that helps to understand what can be built in odd sites that are generally deemed ‘unsuitable’ for construction. Situated in a gated community called Sanctity Ferme in a picturesque location called Shoolagiri, the owner was in a fix as there were unwanted obscure plots at the periphery of the community characterized by steep rocky topography, huge trees, and thick vegetation making people reluctant to make homes there as the buildable area seemed less.
在目前这个时代，人们痴迷于从他们的家里获得美丽的风景，而不关心他们的房子最终如何在美丽的处女地看起来像不自然的障碍物，我们的概念是伪装建筑，我们希望建筑保持隐蔽，与现有的地形无缝融合，这似乎是合适的。
In current times when people are obsessed with achieving beautiful scenic views from their homes and least concerned with how their houses end up looking like unnatural eyesores in virgin beautiful landscapes, our concept of Camouflage architecture, where we want the buildings to stay hidden and merge seamlessly with the existing topography seems apt.
Chuzhi在马拉雅拉姆语中的意思是 “旋涡”，是由4000个废弃的塑料瓶设计成的预制浇筑碎土复合瓶梁的漩涡，围绕着现场的三棵大罗望子树。我们的想法是制作一个源于岩床的地下住宅，在树周围形成多个漩涡，并与之毗邻，为下面的居民创造一个安全的私人空间，同时在上面的树周围创造一个空间，确保厚实的植被和生态系统继续不受干扰地生长。
Chuzhi as the meaning suggests in Malayalam, “whirpool” are swirls of precast poured debris earth composite bottle beams, fashioned from 4000 discarded plastic bottles designed around the three large Tamarind trees on site. The idea was to make a subterranean home that would originate from the rock bed, forming multiple whirls around the tree and adjoining to create a secure private space below for the residents and a space around the trees above that ensures that the thick vegetation and ecosystem continues to thrive undisturbed.
Chuzhi的漩涡从墙壁开始，一路螺旋上升，形成屋顶。栖息在三棵树之间的房子被设计成玻璃屋顶，让你有一种生活在树冠下的感觉。虽然房子没有立面，但它适当地将公共空间与私人空间界定开来，而屋顶则是围绕着树的一个座位区。
The swirls of Chuzhi start as walls and spiral all the way up to form the roof. Perched in between the three trees, the house has been designed with a glass roof to give you the feeling of living underneath the canopy of trees. Although the house has no elevation, it properly defines the public space from the private space with the roof doubling up as a seating area around the tree.
我们的想法是让树木的自然生态系统和周围的环境保留在房子上面，而不影响居民的舒适度。Chuzhi是一个两居室的住宅，设计有开放的布局和简约的内饰，其地板是由回收的木材拼接而成的。但令人惊讶的是，该建筑设法将自己隐藏在景观中，就像热天里蜷缩在岩石下的蛇。
The idea was to allow the natural ecosystem of trees and the surroundings to be retained as it is above the house, without compromising on the comfort of the inhabitants. Chuzhi is a two-bedroom residence designed with an open layout and minimalistic interiors and has floors that have been made of reclaimed wood that has been pieced together. But the surprising fact is that the building manages to tuck itself away into the landscape like a snake curling up under a rock on a hot day.
