建筑作为一门科学，是从人类对住所的卑微需求中产生的。 家 “是最纯粹的设计形式。然而，现代化的皮肤，家的精神是它的永恒性，建筑超越了时尚。除了拥有坚固的墙壁、屋顶、窗户和壁炉的房间之外，其他的都是奢侈的。

Architecture as a science emerged from Man’s humble need for shelter. ‘A home’ is the purest form of design. However, modernized the skin, the spirit of a home is its timelessness, where architecture transcends fashion. Beyond a room with sturdy walls, a roof, a window, a hearth, all else is luxury’

在一个狭窄的街区，”不同屋顶的房子 “的场地提供了一个独特的背景，在一个半城市环境中。场地的长边被困在相邻的房屋之间，而短边则有两条平行的街道，可以为房屋提供光线和通风，并有机会在房屋内创造一条通道。该项目的愿景是确保在不破坏居民隐私的情况下，为房屋提供最大限度的自然光和通风。同时尽量减少对人工资源通风的依赖，并创造出能为多个用户群和多个活动服务的空间。

Set in a tight neighborhood, The site for ‘House with Different Roofs’ offers a unique context set in a semi-urban environment. The longer sides of the site are trapped between the neighboring houses while the shorter sides are lined with two parallel streets that allow provision for light and ventilation for the house, and an opportunity to create a thoroughfare within the house. The Vision of the project was to ensure maximum availability of natural light and ventilation to the house without disrupting the privacy of its inhabitants. To also minimize dependence on artificial resources for ventilation and create spaces that serve more than one user group and more than one activity.

概念–正如其名称所示，”不同屋顶的房子 “利用了四个不同的屋顶，每个屋顶都呈现出独特的空间体验。屋顶由天窗组成，为整个房屋吸入新鲜空气和被动自然采光。除了对外部环境和噪音的保护外，它们还在其中和周围创造了好玩的空间体验。该设计在场地较长的两面平行墙和较短的街道之间被捕获。它从其中央核心吸引了最大数量的光线，并在其周围安置了所有的公共空间，将大部分的建筑推向边缘。房子围绕着房间和花园的概念运作，每个房间都连接着一个花园。花园与房间结合在一起，支持一天中不同时间的不同活动，并在房子里创造出多种使用方式的空间。

Concept – As the name suggests, House with Different Roofs makes use of four different roofs, each rendering a unique spatial experience. The roofs consist of skylights that draw in the fresh air and passive natural lighting for the entire house. In addition to the protection from the outside environment and noise, they also create playful spatial experiences within them and around them. The design is captured between two parallel walls on the longer and streets on the shorter sides of the site. It draws the maximum amount of light from its central core and houses all the common spaces around it pushing most of the building towards the edges. The house works around the idea of a room and garden, each room is attached to a garden. The garden in conjunction with the room supports different activities at different times of the day and creates spaces with many permutations of use within the house.

空间–在底层，人们通过一个多孔但覆盖良好的阳台进入房子，可以俯瞰街道。它提供了大量的自然光，这些自然光进一步渗入毗邻的现有大厅，大厅里有一个通往一楼的阶梯。当人们进一步进入房子时，他们会看到来自头顶天窗的光线和前方花园的一瞥。客厅被困在外部共用的墙壁之间，最大限度地利用了另外两面的优势，一面通过窗户看向现有的大厅，另一面变成了半墙，俯瞰着用餐区和外面的花园。厨房位于就餐区对面，一侧被外墙束缚，另一侧是开放的，里面有一个公用空间和一个公共厕所。

Spaces – On the ground floor, one enters the house through a porous yet well-covered verandah that overlooks the street. It allows an ample amount of natural light which further seeps into the existing hall adjacent to it that is lined with a staircase that leads to the first floor. As one makes their way further into the house, they are met with the light from the overhead skylight and a glimpse of the garden ahead. The living room, trapped between the outer shared walls, takes maximum advantage of the other two sides, one looking into the existing hall through a window and the other turning into a half wall overlooking the dining area and the garden beyond. The kitchen is located opposite the dining area and is bound by an outer wall on one side and is open on the other side, which houses a utility space and a common toilet.

公共花园被客厅、厨房和卧室所包围，全天用于各种活动。它在为整个房子提供充足的光线和通风方面也起着非常重要的作用。 卧室有私人厕所，在对面的墙上有开口，便于交叉通风，并可通向私人花园。

The common garden is surrounded by the living room, the kitchen and the bedroom and is utilized for various activities throughout the day. It also plays a very important role in providing abundant light and ventilation for the entire house. The bedroom, with its private toilet, has openings on opposite walls facilitating cross ventilation and opens into a private garden.

一楼由两间卧室组成，与一个公共露台相连。公共露台开始是一个半覆盖的空间，上面有一个松木格子盖，创造了一个耐人寻味的体积，用户可以和长椅坐在一起，或者把它作为一个聚会的空间。这个空间之后是一个向天空开放的露台，两边是花盆，可以俯瞰底层的花园。考虑到露台所接受的刺眼的直射阳光，露台的墙壁被涂成棕红色，以减少眩光，使其成为一个舒适的栖息空间。露台的终点是第二间卧室，那里可以看到两个花园–底层花园和私人花格屋顶花园，此外还可以通过角落的窗户看到后街。

The first floor consists of two bedrooms connected with a common terrace. The common terrace starts as a semi-covered space topped by a pinewood lattice cover creating an intriguing volume where users can sit together along with the benches or use it as a space for the congregation. This space is followed by an open-to-sky terrace, lined with planters and overlooking the garden on the ground floor. Considering the harsh direct sunlight that the terrace receives, the walls of the terrace are painted tan red to minimize glare and make it a comfortable space to inhabit. The terrace terminates at the second bedroom that has a view of two gardens – the ground floor garden and the private lattice roof garden in addition to a view of the rear street through a corner window.
