Perennial House位于阿姆利则外围城市结构中的一个典型的住宅小区,它的建造与附近的住宅形成了强烈的矛盾。在一个26’x62’的线性场地内,三面被地块包围,南面面向公路,特别注意解决该地区的极端气候问题,并建立一个强大的建筑语汇。从客户希望有一个放松的住所,以及对花园、树木和宠物的喜爱中得到启发,空间被规划为向内看的绿色露天庭院,并深入到房子内部。这些空间在彼此之间流动,散发出一种开放的感觉,同时保留了它们的功能。

Set in a typical residential plotted development in the peripheral urban fabric of Amritsar, Perennial House is built in strong contradiction to its neighborhood dwellings. Within a linear site of 26’ x 62’, surrounded by plots on three sides, and facing the road on the south, specific attention to tackling the extreme climate of the region, as well as building a strong architectural vocabulary is given. Taking cues from the client’s desire for an abode of relaxation, and a love for gardens, trees, and pets, the spaces are planned to look inwards to a green open-to-sky courtyard that runs deep inside the house. The spaces flow between one another, exuding a sense of openness while retaining their functionality.

为了应对阿姆利则的极端气候,冬季温度降至0度,夏季温度升至45度,建筑群的布置和露台的凸出都经过精心规划,在夏季为室内提供遮挡,同时允许冬季的阳光从南方照射进来。东西向的风被狭长的庭院花园阻挡、加速和加湿,它为几乎所有的房间带来了日光、空气和景观的视野。凸窗模糊了内部和外部之间的界限,成为向花园开放的小角落,成为停顿和缓解的时刻。底层适合主要功能–客厅、厨房、餐厅和两间卧室,上层只有一间休息室和客人卧室,可以俯瞰庭院。这流向了一楼的露台花园,面向道路。

In response to Amritsar’s extreme climate, with temperatures dropping to 0deg in winter and rising to 45deg in the summer, mass placements and terrace projections are carefully planned to shield the interior in the summer while allowing the winter sun in from the south. The winds running east-west are trapped, accelerated, and humidified by the long and narrow courtyard garden, which brings daylight, air, and a view of the landscape to almost all rooms. Blurring the line between inside and outside, bay windows serve as little nooks that open into the garden, serving as moments of pause and relief. The ground floor fits the main functions – the living, kitchen, dining, and two bedrooms, with just a lounge and guest bedroom on the upper floor, that overlooks the courtyard. This flows into a first-floor terrace garden facing the road.

从阿姆利则的原始材料特征中学习,该住宅完全用裸露的砖墙建造,摆脱了典型的城市开发项目,这些项目使用基于潮流的包层或应用外墙装饰,使城市成为不连贯的建筑特征的混合体。回到本地生产的砖头,是为了给家带来归属感,同时赋予永恒的美学品质。这与扫过房子地板的黄色Jaisalmer石相结合,以最少的维护、优雅的风化和裸露的触感为用户服务。

Learning from the original material character of Amritsar, the home is built entirely with exposed brick walls, breaking away from typical urban developments which use trend-based cladding or applied façade finishes – which have made the city an amalgamation of incoherent architectural characters. Returning to brick, which is produced locally, is an attempt to lend a sense of belonging to the home while imparting a timeless aesthetic quality. This, combined with yellow Jaisalmer stone that sweeps the floor of the house, serves its users with minimal maintenance, graceful weathering, and a bare, tactile finish.

这种空间和光线的游戏的主角无疑是全高的裸露的砖块弧形墙,它舀着建筑的前面小心翼翼地培育着一棵树。凭借其厚实的13.5英寸的捕鼠器砌墙,它阻挡了来自南方的多余热量,引导了流通,并操纵了自然光。独立的行人入口将游客沿着曲线进入客厅–一个看似漂浮的玻璃盒子,俯瞰着正面,与砖块曲线牢固地并列,并与之相交。

The protagonist of this play of space and light is undoubtedly the full-height exposed brick curved wall that scoops the front of the building carefully nurturing a tree. With its thick, 13.5-inch rat trap masonry wall, it blocks excess heat from the south, guides circulation, and manipulates natural light. The separate pedestrian entry takes visitors along the curve to enter the living room – a seemingly floating glass box overlooking the frontage – sitting in firm juxtaposition with and intersected by the brick curve.

温和的节俭和简单的设计意图使房子接地气,而且是永恒的。空间宽敞,自由流动,带有俏皮的元素和一抹色彩。Perennial House忠于它的名字,能适应四季,并随着时间的推移而美丽地老化。

The gentle frugality and simplicity of design intent keep the house grounded and timeless. Spaces are generous and free-flowing, with playful elements and a dash of color. Perennial House stays true to its name, adapting through seasons and aging beautifully with time.
