我们这个项目的客户是两个女孩,分别是3岁和9岁。这座房子是为她们设计的,符合她们的喜好,并能吸引她们的注意力。它是生态友好型的,注重当地的材料和技术,升级换代,回收利用,确保最小的碳足迹。

Our clients for this project were two girls; 3 & 9 years respectively. The house was to be made for them, as per their fancies and to appeal to their sensitivities. It was to be ecofriendly with focus on local materials and techniques, upcycling, recycling, ensuring a minimal carbon footprint.

现在,这个地球已经永远在现场了。它经受住了时间的考验。因此,让这块土地成为房子是很有意义的。这座房子只使用正常建筑所需水泥的6-8%。在乡村,人们经常用泥巴建造房屋。将同样的想法带入主流建筑,我们通过夯实从工地本身挖掘出来的泥土来建造房屋的结构墙。泥土提供了热绝缘,也减少了能源消耗。而为了增加一个有趣的元素,就像在分层沙画中看到的图案一样,不同的天然氧化物被用来在大型石碑上创造出分层的流体图案。女孩们的石头和贝壳收藏,也被添加到墙壁上,以保存她们的美好回忆。

Now this earth has been on site since forever. It has endured the test of time. So it just made sense that this very earth becomes the house! One that uses only 6-8% of cement usually needed for normal construction. In villages, people often build their houses using mud. Bringing the same idea into mainstream architecture, we built structural walls for the house by ramming earth excavated from the site itself. The earth provides thermal insulation, reducing energy consumption as well. And to add a fun element, like patterns seen in layered sand art, different natural oxides are used to create layered fluid patterns in the large monolith. The girls’ stone and shell collections, were also added to the walls to preserve their fond memories.

一座旧建筑的木材被巧妙地升级改造成框架、门和窗。对传统石灰混合物的研究表明,有一些配方可以过滤掉空气中的毒素。我们邀请了精通这些技术的工匠,这些技术是世代相传的。

The wood from an old building was up-cycled skilfully into frames, doors and windows. Research around traditional lime plaster mixtures shows that there are recipes that filter out toxins from the air. We invited craftsmen who are specialists in these techniques, passed down through generations.

孩子们问我们是否可以创造一个会变化的天花板。所以我们决定为客厅的天花板设计一个倾斜的玻璃。一个动态的天花板,一个随着天气变化的天花板。凝视和幻想云层中的图案,体验像瀑布一样落在你头上的雨,整夜盯着月亮和星星!这就是我们的设计。这种凉爽的北极光使房子全天明亮,减少电力消耗。

The kids asked if we can create a ceiling which changes. So we decided to have a sloping glass for the living room ceiling. A dynamic ceiling, one that changes with the weather. Gaze and fantasize about patterns in the clouds, experience the rain which feels like a waterfall on your heads, stare at the moon and the stars all night! This cool north light brightens the house throughout day, reducing electrical consumption.

我们的想法是让它成为一个游戏屋。由于艾哈迈达巴德的夏天很热,我们决定把游乐场搬到房子里。有一个从一楼滑下来的滑梯。这里有一个秘密的房间! 一个有三个不同的入口,但每一个都是要找到的谜团。当我们做了一扇断头台门、一扇看起来和隔板一样的滑动门,以及一个作为一楼书架一部分的楼梯时,他们的兴奋无以复加。

The idea was to make it a play house. Since Ahmedabad gets hot in summer, we decided to bring the playground inside the house. There is a slide going down from the first floor. There is a secret room! One that has three different entries, but each is a mystery to find. Their excitement had no bounds when we made a guillotine door, a sliding door which looks just like the partition, and a staircase which is a part of the bookshelf on the ground floor.

一楼的桥斜着走到女孩的房间,为时尚人士提供了一个临时的T台。接下来是一张杂技床,悬挂在天花板上,有一个绳梯上去,有很多攀爬和跳跃的机会。房子里还有很多古怪的东西,比如一个隐藏的脸盆。它看起来就像餐厅的柜台,但掀开一个挡板,折出一面镜子,就有一个脸盆了。他们的画册上的草图成了窗户的栅栏,隔板上的黑板,把他们身上的毕加索画出来。

The bridge on the first floor ramps down to the girl’s room for an impromptu catwalk for the fashionista. Next was an acrobatic bed, suspended from the ceiling, with a rope ladder going up and plenty of climbing and jumping opportunities. There are plenty more quirks in the house such as a hidden basin. It looks just like the dining counters but lift a flap, out folds a mirror and there you have a basin. And sketches from their drawing books became grills for windows, blackboards on partitions to bring out the Picasso in them.

这些只是无数次对话中的几个例子,这些对话演变成了Meethi-Mishti nu Maati Ghar(Meethi-Mishti的地球屋)。

These are just a few examples of the countless conversations that evolved into Meethi-Mishti nu Maati Ghar (Meethi-Mishti’s Earth House).
