这个工作区是一个关于阳光和屏幕的故事。项目地点位于WAPA(西艾哈迈达巴德高级竞技场),也被称为古吉拉特邦第一个规划的智能区,有几十个高层住宅项目正在建设中。我们的客户是一家受人尊敬的房地产开发商,需要一个营销办公室和一个工程师的工作空间,以便在这个街区即将开展的项目。场地的位置紧邻主干道,没有边界,可以360度地看到其他建筑工地和重型承重车辆的移动。在考察现场时,我们发现有几簇现有的树木,所以几乎是凭直觉,我们决定在它们周围建造办公室,使它们变成自然的设计元素。

This workspace is a story of the sun and screens. The project site is located in WAPA (West Ahmedabad Premium Arena), also known as Gujarat’s first planned smart area with scores of high-rise residential projects under construction. Our client, an esteemed real estate developer, needed a marketing office and an engineers’ working space for upcoming projects in this neighborhood. The location of the site is adjacent to the main road with no boundary and access to a 360-degree view of other construction sites and the movement of heavy load-bearing vehicles. During the site visit, we located a few clusters of existing trees, so almost intuitively, we decided to build the office around them in a way that they turned into natural design elements.

从概念上讲,我们计划将所有的工作空间安排成L型,与走廊平行,走廊的一边是树木覆盖的庭院,另一边是其施工现场的景观。建筑的主要通道在广场和庭院之间形成一条大道。到达广场的景观有石边池塘和石柱,但没有围墙。内部庭院由砖砌的jaali墙围成,成为主要办公空间的轮廓。一面几何形状的格子屏风墙使空间变得安全,并超越了项目中最具美感的元素,不仅为空间增加了纹理,还增加了艺术和怪异。内部绿树成荫的庭院的混凝土无边长椅为来访者提供了一个放松的区域,并可作为一个开放的会议场所使用。遮阳的庭院增加了开放空间的宁静性和工作场所的私密性,以提高效率和活力。

Conceptually, we planned all working spaces to be arranged in an L shape, parallel to the corridors, which have a tree-covered courtyard on one side, and a view of their construction site on the other. The main approach to the building creates a thoroughfare between the plaza and the courtyard. The arrival plaza landscape features stone-edged ponds and stone bollards but no boundary walls. The internal courtyard is bound by a brick jaali wall that becomes the outline of the main office space. A geometrically progressive latticed screen wall makes the space secure and transcends into the most aesthetic element of the project, adding not just texture but also art and quirk to the space. The concrete infinity benches of the inner tree-shaded courtyard make a relaxing area for visitors and can be used as an open meeting place. The shaded courtyard adds to the serenity of the open space and privacy of the workplace for efficiency and vitality.

原始性成为建筑工地办公室的一个合适的主题,所以我们选择了可重复使用的材料来增加未经加工的感觉。这里使用的红砖90%是可回收的,而波纹金属板象征着路障建筑工地。原石的使用确保了大多数功能在方案准备好后可以继续使用或循环使用。在没有混凝土支撑的情况下建造60米长的再生砖墙是很有挑战性的,但凭借其参数化的图案,jaali墙现在是营销办公室的一个独特边界。jaali的图案跟随太阳的运动,为内部庭院景观增添了戏剧性。

Rawness became an appropriate theme for a construction site office, so we chose reusable materials to add an unprocessed touch. The red bricks used here are 90% recyclable, and the corrugated metal sheets symbolize barricade construction sites. The use of raw stone ensures that most features can be continued or upcycled when the scheme is ready for possession. Building a 60-meter-long recycled brick wall without concrete support was challenging, but with its parametric patterns, the jaali wall is now a unique boundary for the marketing office. The pattern of the jaali follows the movement of the sun, adding drama to the internal courtyard landscape.

我们利用太阳的优势,注重整体设计的方向。自然光从早晨到傍晚的过渡在改变空间氛围方面发挥了积极作用,在艾哈迈达巴德原本炎热的气候中,最严酷的时间之一是柔和的。这个办公室的内部和外部都很和谐。该设计向自然致敬,同时具有冬日的甜美和夏日的凉爽。树木被留在外面,也被带入室内,为每一个框架增加了特色。雕塑也分享了变化的心情,它们在室外的池塘边坐着休息,而室内的雕塑则站得很高,很警觉。自然和原始材料的低调影响被简约的室内装饰很好地保持了下来,给了阳光以自由。敏感的建筑通过简单地利用自然的力量创造了一种空间体验。将幸福作为室内的核心的设计理念,与周围的外部环境相呼应,在建筑环境和人类之间创造了一种丰富的关系。

We took advantage of the sun and focused on the orientation of the overall design. The transition of natural light from morning to evening plays an active role in changing the vibe of the space, with one of the harshest hours being soft in the otherwise hot climate of Ahmedabad. There’s harmony in the interior and the exterior of this office. The design pays homage to nature, being winter-sweet and summer-cool at the same time. The trees have been left outside as well as brought inside, adding a character to each frame. The sculptures also share the changing mood as they sit and relax near the pond outdoors while the ones inside stand tall and alert. The understated influence of natural and raw materials is well maintained by minimalist interiors, giving sunlight the freedom to take over. The sensitive architecture creates a spatial experience by simply harnessing the power of nature. The design philosophy of keeping well-being at the core of the interiors, spirited by the surrounding exteriors, creates an enriching relationship between a built environment and humans!
