V屋是一个为沉思和愉悦而建的家，它的构想是通过光线和材料来提高生活的意识。它位于钦奈海岸边的一个地块上，是为一个商人和他的家人建造的退休后的家。这座房子的设计是对我们今天所经历的忙碌和联系的生活方式的回应。
V House is a home built for contemplation and delight, it is conceived to heighten the consciousness of living through light and materials. Located in a plotted development along the coast of Chennai, built as a post-retirement home for a businessman and his family. The design of the house is a response to the hectic and connected lifestyle that we experience today.
为了让人们关注生活的丰富性，并对抗高度网络化的生活方式，该项目故意将住宅的功能空间分割开来。日常活动中的生活、用餐、厨房、书房、卧室都成为独立的空间，而项目的空间性则由连接它们的空间来定义。
To bring focus on the richness of life and, counter the highly networked lifestyle, the project deliberately disjoints the functional spaces of a home. Everyday activities of living, dining, kitchen, study, bedroom all become autonomous spaces, while the spatiality of the project is defined by the spaces that connect them.
V之家被组织成2个明显不同的体验，分别位于低层和高层。在地面上，是与地面（大地）和黑暗的关系，而在上层，则是关于光和开放。设计成一系列松散连接的亭子。
V house is organized into 2 distinctly varied experiences at lower and upper levels. On the ground, it’s the relationship with the ground (earth) and darkness while at the upper level it is about light and openness. Designed as a series of loosely connected pavilions.
首层是最大的，它的开口很小，允许自然的洞穴，给人一种生活在黑暗中的感觉。上面的楼层是由不同高度的亭子组成的，形成了一个围墙，为上面的楼层形成了一个私人花园。景观作为整个住宅的连接点。这些亭子在不同的层面上进行景观设计，悬空的花园吞噬了整个住宅。粗糙的花岗岩石材地板、再生柚木门窗和黄铜装置让建筑与居住在其中的人一起随着时间的推移而变老。
The ground level, being the largest, opens out minimally allowing for nature to cave in, giving a sense of living in darkness. The floors above are an organization of pavilions of different heights, resulting in an enclosure that forms a private garden for the upper level. The landscape acts as a connecter across the home. These pavilions are landscaped at different levels with hanging gardens engulfing the home. Rough granite stone floor, reclaimed teak wood doors, windows, and brass fixtures allow for architecture to age in time along with the people living in them.
