坐落在喜马拉雅山脚下的德拉敦市，辅助生活的设施坐在催眠的宁静.地块约4英亩，周围是密集的芒果和荔枝果园和英国平房，可追溯到殖民时期。我们的设计方案是尊重该地块的遗产和自然环境。虽然该地块处于城市景观的中央，但它仍然有其独立的生态系统与果园。这给人一种安全感，因为该地块靠近城市设施，但又能享受绿叶的宁静。

Nestled on the foothills of the Himalayas in the city of Dehradun, a facility for assisted living sits in hypnotic tranquility.The plot is around 4 acres which is surrounded by dense Mango & Litchi orchards and a British Bungalow, dating back to the Colonial Period. The approach was to capitulate to a design solution that would respect the heritage and natural environment of the site. Although the plot was in the middle of an urban landscape, it still had its independent eco-system with orchards. This instilled a sense of safety due to the site’s proximity to city-facilities yet enjoying the calming shade of green foliage.

在开始设计之前，必须考虑到场地的两个必要方面。首先，旧英式平房必须被颂扬，而不是仅仅与即将到来的建筑漠然对立。其次，通过砍伐树木，为新建筑获得足够的空间。有利的是，在平房的对面有一块相对空旷的土地。

There were two necessary aspects of the site that had to be taken into consideration before starting the design. First, the old British Bungalow had to be celebrated instead of merely standing indifferently with the upcoming construction. Second, to obtain clear space for the new structure by cutting trees to an absolute minimum. Favorably, a relatively empty patch of land was located right opposite to the bungalow.

这使得新结构有可能面对平房，并共享同一对称线。更为棘手的是，在这块空地上，中间还立着三棵树。深入观察，它们似乎形成了一个三角形，因此，它们被作为范围点。因此，我们将它们作为范围点，并设想了一条环形的脊柱，其末端是两棵侧立的树木。这样，遗址的植物群就完全保留了下来。

This enabled the possibility of the new structure to face the bungalow and share the same line of symmetry. To make things tricky, in the open space, there were still three trees standing in its middle. On deeper look, they appeared to form a triangle. Hence, they were taken as extent points and a circular spine was envisioned having terminal ends at the two laterally standing trees. Thus, the site’s flora was entirely retained.

整个建筑群的圆形布局旨在与长期存在的 “生命之环 “概念产生共鸣。它由卧室、冥想厅、餐厅-厨房和一个多功能厅组成。所有的空间都通过连接所有空间的单人弧形走廊从内到外无缝地融合在一起。所有的私人区域都被规划在建筑的后方，向着浓密的绿色果园开放。

The circular layout of the whole complex is intended to resonate with the long existent concept of “Circle of Life”. It consists of bedrooms, meditation hall, dining-kitchen block, and a multipurpose hall. All the spaces are seamlessly merged inside-out through the singly loaded curved corridor that links them all. All the private areas are zoned towards the back of the building, which is opening out into the thick green orchards.

在弧形走廊的中点，有一个倾斜的冥想大厅，它被安置在绿色果园的宁静中，旨在帮助使用者通过与自然的连接来恢复身体和灵魂的活力。在中轴线的另一端，矗立着一座雄伟的平房，它的拱形屋顶让人联想到过去的辉煌，成为整个园区的焦点。

At the mid-point of the arc, lies a skewed meditation hall which is placed inside the serenity of the green orchard and aims to help its users revitalize their body and soul by connecting with nature. Towards the other end of the central axis, stands the majestic bungalow as a reminiscent of past glory, with its gabled roof, forming a focal element of the entire campus.

弯曲的走廊与断断续续的立面开口，围成了一个直径40米的中央圆形庭院。建筑外立面采用穿孔粘土砖屏风和V形管段，为后面的环形走廊提供了戏剧性的阴影效果，将整个设置命名为 “内省之行”。中央景观形成了一个广场、露天剧场和舞台区，都可以俯瞰整个空间。白色与泥土色的对比，增强了整个建筑环境与自然的和谐，使用者可以坐在这里诉说自己的青春与活力，在这种建筑与休憩的交融中获得慰藉。

The curved corridor with its intermittent façade openings, encloses a central circular courtyard of 40 m diameter. The building façade has perforated clay-tile screens and V-shaped tubular pipe sections, which provide a dramatic shadow effect in the circular corridor behind, naming this entire setup as ‘the walk of introspection’. The central landscape forms a plaza, an open-air theatre, and a stage area, all overlooking the entire space. The contrast of white with earthy tone, bolsters the harmony of the entire building-setting with nature, where the user can sit and tell tales of their youth and vigor, achieving solace in this communion of architecture and repose.
