这座房子建在一个紧凑的180平方米的场地上,分布在三层,包括两个相互连接的公寓;两层为一个插画家的家庭提供生活、工作和工作室空间,底层则是他们年迈的父母。房屋面向街道的一面被浅蓝色的穿孔屏风所覆盖。屏风采用了一个可打开的面板系统,使房子能够呼吸,并对自然界的流动、日光和外界条件作出反应。

Built on a compact 180 sqm site, the house is distributed on three levels and includes two interconnected apartments; living, working and studio spaces for the family of an illustrator on two levels, and the ground floor housing their elderly parents. The street-facing front side of the house is sheathed by a light blue perforated screen. Incorporating a system of openable panels this screen allows the house to breathe and respond to the flows of nature, daylight and conditions outside.

白天的空间,包括一个双高的生活区,在屏风的过滤下,朝向场地东侧的街道,而夜间的空间则俯瞰西侧的一个茂盛的公共花园。室内采用了鲜明的色调。白色的墙壁,抛光的水泥和最小的木质装饰。 一个大胆的例外是一个茶色的天光楼梯,似乎是水彩画的形式,穿过不同的楼层,为空间增加了一个醒目而舒缓的亮点。

The daytime spaces, including a double-height living area, are oriented towards the eastern street side of the site, filtered by the screen, while the nighttime spaces overlook a lush public garden on the west side. The interiors feature a stark palette: White walls, Polished cement and minimal wooden accents. A bold exception comes in the form of a teal-coloured sky-lit stairway, seemingly watercolour rendered, travelling through the different levels and adding a striking yet soothing highlight to the spaces.

一楼女儿的卧室有一个阳台,是前墙的缩影,是一个延伸到树冠上的舒适的舱。房子的顶层有一个音乐工作室和客户的绘画工作室。在工作室之间,滑动的玻璃门通向一个开放的天庭和一个通向屋顶露台的楼梯。这层楼为自己提供了不同的可能性,作为活动空间、工作室或游戏的空间。

The daughter’s bedroom on the first floor features a balcony created as a micro version of the front façade, a cosy pod extending into the tree canopy. The top floor of the house has a music studio and drawing studios for the clients. Between the studios, sliding glass doors lead to an open sky court and a stairway leading to the rooftop terrace. This floor offers itself to different possibilities, as an event space, space for workshops or for play.

穿孔金属外墙被设想为 “花丝”;它结合了简单而复杂的细节,以保持元素的 “轻盈”,同时使用现成的金属部分。定制的屏幕系统是通过与一位热衷于金属加工细节的制造者紧密合作而实现的。在平衡性能与最小的、基本的和坚固的细节方面,工艺在这里发挥了与工程一样的作用。

The perforated metal façade is envisioned as a “filigree”; it incorporates simple but sophisticated detailing to retain the ‘lightness ‘of the element while using readily available metal sections. The custom screen system was realised through close collaboration with a fabricator, who has a passion for detail in metalworking. An exercise in balancing performance with minimal, essential and rugged detailing, craft plays a role here as much as engineering.

在建筑上,外墙的设计是为了将房子的生活区域扩展到墙外。从里面看,屏风围成的平台成为家庭活动和他们情绪的延伸:向外面的街道剧院完全开放,有选择地或完全关闭,以创造一个私人空间,在斑驳的光线下,悬浮在内部和外部之间。从街上看,这栋房子成了一系列房屋的有趣补充,有时甚至是挑衅性的,这些房屋两边紧挨着,相互挤在一起。屏风由两个不同角度的平面组成,根据它所反射的天空,人们对它的看法是不同的,有时是一个坚实的平面,有时是一个半透明的皮肤。

Architecturally, the façade is designed to expand the living areas of the house beyond their walls. From inside, the deck enclosed by the screen becomes an extension of the family’s activities and their moods: opening fully to the theatre of the street outside, selectively or closed entirely to create a private space washed in dappled light, suspended between inside and outside. From the street, the house becomes an interesting and sometimes provocative addition to the series of houses that line both sides, packed tightly alongside each other. Composed as two planes set at differing angles, the screen is perceived differently depending on the sky it is reflecting, sometimes a solid plane, sometimes a translucent skin.

构成这个项目和场地的参数对于像班加罗尔这样的城市中大多数紧张的城市住宅来说是很常见的。像安全和隐私这样的问题需要考虑,就像光线、通风和能源效率一样。我们在处理这个项目时,打算为家庭空间创造一个持久奢华的框架,而不是由所用材料的成本来定义,而是通过自然光、空间质量和居民的适应性来定义。

The parameters that structure this project and site are common to most tight urban residences in cities like Bangalore. Concerns like security and privacy need consideration as much as light, ventilation and energy efficiency. We approached this brief with an intent to create a framework for enduring luxury in domestic space not defined by the cost of materials used but through natural light, quality of space and adaptability by the inhabitants.
