自然之家 “是为位于哈里亚纳州Shahabad镇的Gargs设计的住宅，该镇是一个极端气温的地方。在这样一个极端的温度和干燥的天气条件下，提出满足整个季节周期的天气条件的材料，安装和配置这些材料，并确保它们以后的工作条件，是建筑师在设计的最初阶段必须解决的几个挑战。为了应对环境和场地的南向，为房子的建筑提出了解决方案，即在正面安装带有内置混凝土花盆的活体绿墙系统，并在整体上进行开放式规划。使用混凝土作为材料，是为了随着时间的推移与绿色植物相融合，以策划一个和谐的主题。该结构似乎已经与环境融为一体，仿佛真的从环境中 “长 “出来。

Nature’s Abode is a residence designed for the Gargs who are located in the town, of Shahabad, Haryana- A place of extreme temperatures. In a setting of such extreme temperatures and dry weather conditions, proposing materials that cater to the weather conditions throughout the season cycle, installing and configuring those materials, and ensuring their working conditions later are the few challenges the architects had to tackle in the initial stages of designing the same. Responding to the context and the south facing of the site, proposed solutions for the architecture of the house where the installation of a live green wall system with built-in concrete planters as the front façade and open planning throughout. The use of concrete as a material is intended to blend in with the greens over time to curate a harmonious theme. The structure seemed to have blended in with the context as if literally ‘grown’ out of it.

关于开放的规划，底层被划分为门厅兼绘图区、通向郁郁葱葱的后院的双高生活区、两间卧室和一个开放的厨房，其相邻的用餐区通向一个OTS光井，中心位置的Puja Ghar就像一个重新发明的 “Aangan”。规划时考虑到了开放性，以帮助促进整个结构的交叉通风，从主卧室的大窗子到后院的喷水池。向一个喜欢传统方法的家庭提出这种生态残酷主义、生物亲和主义和现代风格的概念，是aura公司的同行们很好地完成的任务。延续这一主题，一楼包括一个大厅，一个光井旁的大座位区，两间卧室，以及一个通向小露台的公共区域，露台上有RCC花盆和RCC座椅。此外，一楼过渡到了大露台。

About the open planning, the ground floor was divided into a foyer cum drawing area, the double-height living area leading to a lush-green backyard, two bedrooms, and an open kitchen with an adjacent dining area opening to an OTS light well with a centrally placed Puja Ghar like a reinvented ‘Aangan’. The planning was done keeping openness in mind to help promote the cross-ventilation throughout the structure from the water fountain via the big oriel window in the master bedroom to the backyard. Proposing this concept of Eco-Brutalist, Biophilic, and Modern style in such a way to a family who favored traditional methods was a task well taken over by the peers at aura. Continuing this theme the first floor consists of a lobby, a big seating area beside the light well, two bedrooms, and a common area leading to the small terrace laced with the RCC planters and an in-cast RCC seating. Further, the first floor transitioned into the big terrace.

大自然的居所 “这个名字源于乡村美学和我们的第一个家，即大自然的突出融合。一个现代的结构，是 “自然 “太阳的体现–在这个结构中，许多开口都被植物填满，以减少热量的吸收。关于绿色植物的选择，精心的选择标志着这个住宅的独特性和效率。主要的目标是尽可能的自然，使外墙的演变自然的跟随建筑结构。后花园里种植了各种树木，保持了印度的味道。如来神树被种植在中央庭院，有两个原因：宗教地位和对生活条件的药用影响。院子的其余部分用金钱植物作为攀缘植物，用百慕大草作为地被。

‘Nature’s Abode’, the name, arises from the idea of a standout blend of rustic aesthetic and our first home i.e. Nature. A modern-day structure that is an embodiment of a ‘Natural’ Brise Soleil- A structure where numerous openings are filled with plants to mitigate heat gain. Coming to the choice of greens, the careful choices mark the uniqueness and efficiency of this residence. The main goal was to go as natural as possible for the evolution of the façade to follow the built structure naturally. The rear garden houses all sorts of trees keeping the Indian taste intact. The Rudraksha Tree was planted in the central courtyard for two reasons: religious stature and medicinal impact on living conditions. The rest of the courtyard is covered with Money plants as climbers and Bermuda grass as the ground cover.

在其220平方米的表面上，灵气交织着美学和功能，强调原材料纹理的诚实性，如混凝土、钢、粘土和木材，辅以蓝色、灰色和白色作为空间的点缀，以及纺织品、铝和玻璃制品元素的和谐。通过室内景观，创造了一个天堂。玻璃窗在许多不同的位置被灵活地使用，将自然光带入建筑，并尽量减少电力消耗。总之，任何设计都必须是空间和用户之间的互动。外立面和结构的演变是未来几年值得期待的事情。

In its 220-square-meter surface, aura intertwines aesthetics and functionality, emphasizing the honesty of the textures of raw materials, such as Concrete, Steel, Clay, and Wood complimented with blue, grey, and white as accents for the space along with the harmony in textile, Aluminium, and glassware elements. Through the interior views, a haven is created. Glass fenestrations are flexibly used in many different positions to bring natural light into the building as well as minimize power consumption. In conclusion, any design has to be interactive between the space and the users. The evolution of the façade and structure is something to look forward to for the coming years.
