栖息在山的边缘,”The Ledge “是位于Peeremedu的一个住宅,它是根据一个梦想序列设计的。导致一个人走到山脊边缘的探究,或从悬崖顶上跳下的孩子般的突发奇想,都可以归结为人类在山峰结束后还想向前走到云端的欲望。因此,该建筑被设计成一块碎片,似乎是作为山的延伸而凸显在空中。

Perched on the edge of a mountain, ‘The Ledge’ is a residence in Peeremedu that is designed based on a dream sequence. The inquisition that leads one to walk till the edge of a ridge or a child-like whim to jump from the top of a cliff can be attributed to a human desire to walk ahead into the clouds even after the mountain is over. Hence the building has been designed as a shard that seems to be protruding as an extension of the mountain into the air.

屋顶和外墙隐藏在自然景观中,由经过处理的Casuarina杆制成,这是一种快速生长的树木,其木材被认为是废物,只用于脚手架和围栏。在这里,大跨度的Casuarina-ferrocement复合屋顶在房子中央院子里开始施工时种植的Casuarina树的帮助下被进一步支撑。

Camouflaged within the natural landscape the roof and the external walls are made out of treated Casuarina poles which is a fast-growing tree whose wood is considered as waste and used only for scaffolding and fencing. Here the long span Casuarina-ferrocement composite roof is further supported in between with the help of Casuarina trees planted at the onset of construction in the central courtyard of the house.

在挖掘地基的过程中发现了大量松散的小石块,这导致了SHOBRI墙(百叶窗碎片墙)的随机应变。这些石头被用于墙体中,将它们插入百叶窗中的碎石混合物中,作为交替的条带。

Finding huge quantities of small loose stones during the excavation process for the foundation led to an improvisation in the SHOBRI wall (Shuttered Debris Wall). These stones were utilised in the walls by inserting them into the Debris mix in the shutters as alternating bands.

由于地处山区,大部分的开口都是用玻璃设计的,以保持热量并欣赏到山谷的壮丽景色。格栅是由废旧的电缆盘和废旧的切割木材拼凑而成的,形成了房子的地板。

Being located in a hill station most of the openings have been designed in glass to retain the heat and to take in the splendid views of the valley. The grills are a collage of scrap cable trays and wasted cut pieces wood has been assembled together to form the flooring of the house.

屋顶上的Casuarina杆错落有致地放置在不同的层面上,这样它们就可以作为一个带有桌子和长凳的户外派对空间。但是,这个房子的关键仍然是围绕着创造一个生活空间,让人在两个世界中都能享受到最好的生活,即住在山里和在云中的壁架上。

The Casuarina poles on the roof is staggeringly placed at different levels so that they double up as an outdoor party space with tables and benches. But the crux of this home still revolves around creating a living space that gives the best of both worlds, living inside a mountain and on a ledge that is up in the clouds.
