在钦奈密集的市区中，Ilaiyanayam住宅坐落在住宅区的一个角落。Ilaiyanayam在泰米尔语中指的是 “纹理”。这个住宅的独特之处集中在纹理的游戏上。Ilaiyanayam是现代技术与传统价值观的结合。它是一种诗意的方法，通过并列和寻找空间、空隙、光线、纹理和材料的正确平衡来阐明深度，创造一个平滑的过渡，以便在审美和功能上以细致的方式协调，刺激体验它们的居民的不同情绪。这种设计是通过现代和极简主义的方式实现的，同时与场地的传统背景相协调。
Amongst a dense urban area in Chennai, Ilaiyanayam Residence lies on a corner plot of land in a residential neighborhood. Ilaiyanayam refers to ‘Texture’ from the language Tamil. The unique characteristics of this residence focus on the play of textures. Ilaiyanayam is an amalgamation of modern technology with traditional values. It is a poetic approach to articulate depth through juxtaposing and finding the right balance of space, void, light, textures, and materials creating a smooth transition in order to harmonize aesthetically and functionally in a meticulous way that stimulates different emotions in the residents who experience them. This design is achieved by being contemporary and minimalist while being in harmony with the traditional context of the site.
Rosabeith Moss kanter曾经说过：”变革的建筑涉及到设计和建造新的模式，或对旧的模式进行重新概念化，以使新的、希望更有成效的行动成为可能。”即使有无数的新工具、材料和技术，也总是需要重新接受传统建筑的元素和原则，并将它们与现代工具搭配，以达到最佳效果。Ilaiyanayam说明了存在于传统和现代元素之间的独特难题，并取得了平衡，以实现对居民和周围环境的好处。
Rosabeith Moss kanter once said “The architecture of change involves the design and construction of new patterns or the re-conceptualization of old ones to make new and hopefully more productive actions possible “Even though there are innumerable new tools, materials, and techniques, there is always a need to re-embrace elements and principles of traditional architecture and pair them with modern tools to achieve optimum results. Ilaiyanayam illustrates the unique conundrum which exists between traditional and modern elements and strikes a balance to achieve benefits for the residents and the surrounding environment.
Ilaiyanayam是一个三层的结构，包括停车场、看守室和地面上的休息室。房屋的主要入口处被抬高到一楼，可以通过为建筑的垂直循环提供的楼梯和电梯进入，还有一个独立的服务楼梯直接进入厨房/杂物间，供女佣使用，以避免干扰。一楼有一个带水体的庭院（体现了传统价值，但也可以通过现代技术用作游泳池），正式和双层高度的非正式起居室、厨房、公用事业化妆室，以及带附属浴室和步入式衣柜的客房。上层则是私人卧室，附带卫生间和步入式衣柜。伴随着桥梁和阳台，可以俯瞰庭院。三楼是私人办公空间，以避免房屋的半公共和公共空间出现任何形式的干扰。阳台上有绿化屋顶的景观。所有的私人空间都无缝地流向彼此，并保持不受限制。从庭院的每个空间以及从战略性的花盆箱、阳台和桥梁的绿化中可以看到有框架的景色。
Ilaiyanayam is a three-storey structure, comprising parking, caretaker’s room, and a restroom on the ground level. The main entry point of the house is raised to the first floor which can be accessed by Staircase and lift provided for the vertical circulation of the building and a separate service staircase directly accessing the kitchen/utility for the maids to avoid interruption. A courtyard with a water body (that embraces traditional values but also can be used as a swimming pool by using modern technology), formal and double floor height informal living, kitchen, utility powder room, and guest room with attached Bathroom and walk-in closet on the first floor. The upper level is followed by private bedrooms with attached toilets and a walk-in closet. Along with bridges and balconies overlooking the courtyard. Private office space on the third floor to avoid any kind of distractions from the semi-public and public spaces of the house. The terrace is landscaped with green roofing. All the private spaces flow seamlessly into each other and remain un-contained. There are framed views from each space of the courtyard and from the greens of the strategically located planter boxes, Balconies, and bridge.
我们用凸出的景观袋点缀了这个结构，创造出透气和微风的空间，同时也保护居民不受可怕的阳光的影响，并保持隐私。它种植了当地的植被，便于维护，居民也可以收割。我们创造了一个带有水体的天窗庭院，可以作为一个游泳池使用。在高处使用的混凝土凉棚使光线和通风在结构中流动。水体软化了建筑的粗糙质地。庭院作为一个过渡空间，从而在内部创造了一种流动性和相互联系的感觉，同时与外部毫不费力地融合在一起。现代化的庭院和花箱创造了一个内部小气候，使内部生态系统保持凉爽。赤土屏幕和玻璃块进一步帮助调节环境，提供遮阳和隐私。房间被填充了从地板到天花板高度的法式窗户，以促进光线和通风进入房子。楼梯周围的玻璃砖确保了光线的流入。房子的美学是基于现代和传统色调的融合。使用的材料是石板瓦、木质纹理的混凝土、赤土和玻璃。这种调色板与住宅的独特特征进行了激烈的对话，反映了质地的变化。
We have embellished the structure with projecting pockets of landscapes to create spaces that are breathable and breezy while also protecting the inhabitants from the horrid sun and maintaining privacy. It is planted with local vegetation for easy maintenance that can also be harvested by the residents. We have created a skylit courtyard with a water body that can function as a swimming pool. The concrete pergolas used in the high ceiling allow light and ventilation to flow through the structure. The water body softens the rough textures of the building. The courtyard acts as a transitional space thereby creating a sense of fluidity and interconnectedness on the inside while melding effortlessly with the outside. The modernized courtyard and planter box create an internal microclimate that keeps the internal ecosystem cool. The terracotta screens and glass blocks further help modulate the ambient environment providing shading and privacy. The rooms have been outfilled with floor-to-ceiling height French windows to facilitate light and ventilation into the house. The glass blocks around the staircase ensure light flows in. The aesthetic of the house is based on the fusion of modern and traditional palettes. The materials used are quarry slate tiles, wooden textured concrete, terracotta, and glass. The palette has an intense dialogue with the unique character of the residence reflecting on the play of textures.
考虑到正在发生的气候危机，我们在设计时将可持续性放在各个方面，这需要将现代技术和传统概念的知识结合起来，从而为我们提供可持续的建筑，与自然气候条件互动和和谐。一些可持续发展的特点是绿色屋顶和一个花盆箱，以消除空气中的热量，降低屋顶表面和周围空气的温度。这也有助于减少白天的热岛效应。外墙采用了回收的采石场废石。房屋上的通气是经过协调的，创造了一种统一的感觉，并允许有安静的团结时刻的空间。这个空间有助于打破束缚，为居民创造一个逃离现实的机会。
With the ongoing climatic crisis in mind, we have prioritized sustainability in every aspect while designing which required bringing modern technologies and knowledge of traditional concepts together thus providing us with sustainable buildings that interact and are in harmony with natural climatic conditions. Some of the sustainable features being green roofing, and a planter box to remove heat from the air and reduce the temperature of the roof surface and surrounding air. It also helps to reduce the heat island effect during the day. Recycled quarry waste stone is used on the facade. The transpiration on the house is orchestrated creating a sense of unity and allowing space for quiet moments of solidarity. A space that helps to break free and create an escape from reality to the residents.
