这座农舍位于Mehsana的郊区,是为只有一个要求的客户建造的–一座三居室的房子。因此,建筑师被赋予了完全的自由来探索各种材料、颜色和建筑技术。这座房子是根据被动设计的原则设计的。对于位于印度西部的古吉拉特邦炎热干燥的气候来说,最大化空气和日光的自然流动是必要的。开放空间和建筑空间的过渡突出了颜色的使用和整个房子的光影游戏。

Located on the outskirts of Mehsana, this farmhouse was built for the clients who had just one requirement – a three-bedroom house. Hence the architects were given complete freedom to explore various materials, colors, and building techniques. The house was designed based on the principles of passive design. Maximizing the natural flow of air and daylight was necessary for the hot and dry climate of Gujarat located in western part of India. The transition of open and built spaces highlights the use of colors and the play of light and shadows throughout the house

场地规划–房子的主体被放置在东北方向,以捕捉凉爽的西南风。在东部,种植了茂密的植被,作为高速公路的视觉和噪音屏障。场地的其余部分被改造成一个景观草坪,有一条弯曲的小路和各种景观元素以及当地的植物和树木。

Site Planning – The mass of the house was placed in the Northeast to capture the cool Southwest Breeze. In the East, dense vegetation was planted to act as a visual and noise barrier from the highway. The remaining part of the site is converted into a landscaped lawn with a curved pathway and various landscaped elements and local plants and trees.

适应气候的设计–七院–为了应对该地区炎热干燥的气候,空间沿南北轴线定向,沿东西方向有平行的实体墙,以减少太阳热量的吸收。这种气候取向导致房屋内出现了七个庭院,三个在公共区域,如客厅和餐厅,四个私人庭院连接到卧室和浴室。一个深深的西南方向的阳台被提供,以避免夏季的任何直接太阳增益,确保主要空间内的初冬阳光穿透。

Climate Responsive Design – The Seven Courts – Responding to the hot and dry climate of this region, the spaces are oriented along the North-South axis with parallel solid walls along the East and West to reduce solar heat gain. This climatic orientation led to the rise of seven courtyards inside the house, three in the public areas like living and dining, and four private courts attached to the bedrooms and bathrooms. A deep south-west facing verandah is provided to avoid any direct solar gain during summer ensuring the penetration of the early winter sun inside the main spaces.

空间规划–房子是一个单层结构,有一个起居室-餐厅空间、厨房和三间卧室。从进门的路上,人们沿着带有圆形切口的线性墙走,创造出有趣的图案。在房子的入口处,人们在有一个荷花池的院子里受到欢迎。在这些公共和私人空间的交界处还有一个院子。卧室的入口处有一个线性庭院,每个卧室都有私人庭院。在东北角是仆人的宿舍,直接与公用厨房相连。中央脊柱是房屋的一个重要流通空间。它以线性方式开始于到达庭院,在房子的主入口处扭曲。然后,它沿着功能空间移动,曲折,通向卧室。方向的改变通知用户,他们正走向一个更私人的区域。人们在沿着这条中央脊柱的旅程中可以看到有趣的光影模式。所有这些建筑空间都与外廊相连,与前面的景观花园建立了横向联系。

Planning of Spaces – The house is a single-storeyed structure with a living- dining space, kitchen, and three bedrooms. From the approach road, one walks along a linear wall with circular cut-outs that create interesting patterns. At the entry of the house, one is welcomed in the courtyard with a lily pond. There is another courtyard at the junction of these public and private spaces. The entrances of the bedrooms are flanked by a linear court along with private courts for each bedroom. In the NE corner are the servant quarters directly connected to the utility kitchen. The central spine is an essential circulation space of the house. It begins linearly at the arrival court and is twisted at the main entrance of the house. It then moves along the functional spaces, cranks, and leads to the bedrooms. The change of direction notifies the user that they are heading to a more private zone. One can see an interesting pattern of light and shadows throughout their journey along this central spine. All these built spaces are connected to the outer verandah establishing a horizontal connection with the landscaped garden in the front.

不同的体积 – 作为一个被动的设计策略,可居住的房间被赋予了比流通空间和阳台更高的高度。阳台的梁被延续到房间里,并在上面建造了一个非结构墙,以支持通风装置。窗户可以让夏日的微风吹进来,而这些通风器有助于冲走热空气,使空间保持更凉爽。

Varied Volumes – As a passive design strategy, the habitable rooms were given a greater height than the circulation spaces and the verandahs. The beams of the verandahs were continued in the rooms, and a non- structural wall was constructed above it that supports the ventilators. The windows allow the summer breeze to come in, whereas these ventilators help flush out the hot air, keeping the space much cooler.

景观设计–对于景观来说,非常强调选择当地的本土植物品种,如占婆、伽玛洛、木槿等。在入口处,有一个百合花池,还有蕨类植物、旅行者棕榈等装饰性植物,这些植物被非常仔细地放置在整个场地。厨房的后面有一个花园,那里有当地的水果和植物品种,如图尔西,和薄荷,这些都是主人食用的。大草坪是一个起伏的景观区,有平缓的小丘,有细草和象草的混合。

Landscape Design – For the landscape, there was a very strong emphasis on selecting local species of indigenous plants like Champa, garmalo, hibiscus, etc. At the entrance, there was a lily pond along with decorative plants like ferns, traveler’s palms, etc. that were very carefully placed across the site. The kitchen has a garden at the back where there were local species of fruits and plants like tulsi, and mint, that were consumed by the owners. The large lawn was a rolling landscaped area with gentle mounds and a blend of fine grass and elephant grass.
