客户的要求,也就是设计,要求结构变得 “看不见”。客户的艺术收藏品和户外景观将是这里的重点。这意味着,我们必须同时拥有大的开口和大的墙面。结构要退居其次,扮演 “画布 “的角色,客户要通过他们的艺术收藏品在上面添加 “特色和色彩”。

The client requirement, and hence the design, called for the structure to become ‘invisible’. The art collection of the client and the outdoor landscape was to be the focus here. This meant, we had to have large openings and large wall surfaces at the same time. The structure was to take a back seat and play the role of a ‘canvas’, onto which the client was to add ‘character & color’ by way of their art collection.

在这个设计中使用的材料都是暴露的和 “原始 “的,显示了这些材料的诚实性质。这个结构的外部表面大约80%是玻璃。这样做是为了模糊 “室内 “和 “室外 “之间的界限。为了达到这种效果,我们需要大面积的无缝玻璃,而这是通过使用重型 “超薄 “铝框来实现的。这使我们能够使用大面积的玻璃,有些玻璃宽达8英尺,高达14英尺。铝框几乎是看不见的。

The materials used in this design are all exposed and ‘raw’, displaying the honest nature of those materials. About 80% of the external surface of this structure is glass. This was done to blur the edge between the ‘indoors’ and the ‘outdoors’. To achieve this effect, we needed large seamless panels of glass, which was made possible by the use of Heavy-duty ‘slim-profile’ aluminum frames. This allowed us to use large panels of glass, some as big as 8′ wide and 14′ high!! The aluminum frame was almost invisible.

大部分墙壁在抹灰和手工抛光后被暴露出来。天花板是裸露的,对于地板,我们使用了氧化处理。为了将所有这些材料/表面处理结合在一起,并给他们每个人以必要的对比,一些墙面被涂成白色。入口墙上的粘土jaali打破了单调,此外还保持了透明房屋的隐私。jaali还确保了气流不受干扰。

Most of the walls were left exposed, after plastering and hand polishing. The ceiling was left exposed and for the flooring, we used an Oxide finish. To bring all these materials/ finishes together and to give each of them the needed contrast, a few wall surfaces were painted white. The clay jaali on the entrance wall, broke the monotony, in addition to maintaining privacy to an otherwise transparent house. The jaali also made sure the airflow is not disturbed.

空间需要干净和不杂乱,以带来一种开放感。这一点,再加上大窗户,使得结构透明,几乎不被注意,让它所容纳的 “艺术 “和周围的景观得到了充分的重视。该结构的设计让阳光和周围的环境唤醒自己,在白天和晚上,该结构为其环境注入了活力。

The spaces needed to be clean and uncluttered, to bring in a sense of openness. This, along with the large windows makes the structure transparent and almost unnoticed, giving all the importance to the ‘art’ it houses and the landscape surrounding it. The design of the structure lets the sun and surroundings awaken themselves, in the daytime and at night the structure breathes life into its context.
