在Aamri村的边缘,在Purna河附近,距离苏拉特市40公里,是一个名为The Weave House的周末度假胜地。客户有一个特定的愿景,那就是一个散发着有机生活方式的住宅,其空间被专门设计为冥想和笼罩在葱郁的绿色之中。他们寻求一个散发着宁静、禅意的氛围和持续的能量流动的住所。这个概念的演变是为了无缝地创造一个建筑环境和景观的和谐交织。受传统房屋启发的空间规划,通过设计元素和材料的现代化,构成了一个交织在农村居住区的现代住宅。建筑师试图将客户的生活方式融入到设计中,并从他的纺织职业中获得灵感,为空间设计提供参考,在整个房屋中整合了反映该工艺的元素。

On the edge of Aamri village, in the vicinity of the Purna River, 40 kilometers from Surat city, is a weekend getaway called The Weave House. The client had a specific vision of a home that exudes an organic lifestyle, with spaces specifically designed to be meditative and enveloped in verdant greenery. They sought an abode that radiates serenity, a Zen-like ambiance, and a persistent flow of energy. The concept evolved to seamlessly create a harmonious interweaving of the built environment and landscape. The spatial planning inspired by a traditional house is modernized with design elements and materials to constitute a contemporary home woven into a rural settlement. The architects sought to incorporate the client’s lifestyle into the design and drew inspiration from his profession of textile weaving to inform the design of the space, integrating elements that are reflective of the craft throughout the house.

独特的回旋镖形状的农田引导着房子的设计,建议在前面种植稀疏的区域,因此在后面保留了大跨度的茂密果园。设计概念是由两个长方形区块构思的,分配给私人和公共区域,一个战略性地朝向僻静的私人前花园,另一个朝向风景如画的果园。被注入的中央庭院作为一个焦点,将公共空间和私人空间分开。此外,房子从地面抬高,以抵消因靠近河流而造成的潜在内涝。

The distinctive boomerang-shaped farming site steered the design of the house that was proposed in the sparsely planted region at the front, hence retaining an extensive span of dense orchards at the back. The design concept was conceived from two rectangular blocks, allocated for private and public areas, one strategically oriented towards the secluded private front garden and the other towards the picturesque orchard. The infused central courtyard serves as a focal point and separates the public spaces from the private ones. Furthermore, the house is elevated from the ground level to counteract the potential waterlogging caused by the proximity of the river.

在入口处,层层叠叠的穿孔砖墙为房子和游泳池提供了隐私,同时作为周围植物的优雅背景,突出了它们作为设计主角的地位。房子的入口是通过一个封闭的走廊上升到通往正门的门厅,房子展开为一个单一的、宽敞的区域。充足的开口和庭院允许自然光和通风,这在一天中不断地改变着空间的动态,使人感到生机盎然。房子的功能区,包括家庭区、客厅、餐厅和卧室,都与花园、庭院和露台无缝连接,促进了内部和外部空间的和谐联系。

At the entrance, a cascading perforated brick wall provides privacy for the house and swimming pool while serving as an elegant backdrop for the surrounding flora, accentuating them as the design’s protagonist. The entrance to the house is via an enclosed hallway ascending to the foyer leading to the main door, the house unfolds into a single, spacious area. Ample openings and courts allow for natural light and ventilation, which continually alter the space’s dynamics throughout the day, feeding into the sense of liveliness. The functional zones of the house, including the family area, living room, dining room, and bedrooms, are all seamlessly connected to gardens, courtyards, and decks, fostering a harmonious connection between the interior and exterior spaces.

为了突出工艺,去除不相干的化妆品层,每个空间都经过深思熟虑,用最小和灵活的木制家具,衬托出墙壁的原始和自然美感。忠实于这个概念,在浴室里引入了小法庭,以接纳散射的日光,并保持室内与室外的联系。裸露的砖墙具有独特的浮雕砖和钻石图案,其灵感来自伊卡特印花图案;混凝土墙呈现出一种类似于织物中的线的微妙交织。地板主要由科塔石组成,通过使用图案和不同的表面处理来加以区分。

To highlight the craftsmanship and remove extraneous layers of cosmetics, each space is thoughtfully designed with minimal and flexible wooden furnishings, set against the raw and natural aesthetics of walls. True to the concept, small courts are introduced in the bathrooms to admit diffused daylight and preserve the indoor-outdoor connection. Exposed brick walls feature distinctive embossed brick and diamond patterns inspired by Ikat print patterns; the concrete walls exhibit a subtle interweaving of threads akin to those found in fabrics. The flooring is primarily composed of Kota stone, differentiated through the use of patterns and different finishes.

这座房子也被设计成一个可持续发展和自给自足的实体,从屋顶上凹陷和隐藏的太阳能电池板中获取能源,而边缘的渗水井的实施有助于保护地下水位。雨水被收集起来,用于满足房屋的多种用水需求。该住宅是围绕着与自然共存的概念建造的,允许平稳过渡,并给居住者一个宁静的撤退,在那里他们可以放松并与外部世界联系。这座房子在印度传统元素和艺术的基础上编织了建筑群,创造了平衡和视觉和谐。具有这种冥想性质的空间是通过一个错综复杂的绿色层和物质性的织物由内而外编织而成的,将房子真正定义为地球的孩子。

The house is also designed as a sustainable and self-sufficient entity, harnessing energy from solar panels recessed and hidden on the roof, while the implementation of percolation wells on the edges helps in preserving the groundwater level. The rainwater is harvested and utilized for the house’s multiple water demands. The home is built around the notion of coexisting with nature, allowing for smooth transitions and giving its occupants a tranquil retreat where they may unwind and connect with the outside world. The house weaves the built mass that embarks on Indian traditional elements and arts, creating balance and visual harmony. The spaces with this meditative nature are woven through an intricate fabric of green layers and materiality inside out, defining the house truly as an earth’s child.
