这个高档住宅位于钦奈的Saligramam,尽管坐落在密集的城市混凝土丛林中,但它的精心设计和设想为一个5口之家提供了一个充满泥土气息的宁静逸境。东面和北面都有道路,这块14美分的地块被住宅和商业空间紧密包围着。

Located in Saligramam, Chennai, this upscale home is carefully crafted & envisioned to give a serene escapade brimming with earthy luxuriance for a family of 5, despite being situated amidst the dense urban concrete jungle. With roads on both east & north sides, the 14 cents square plot is closely enveloped by residential & commercial spaces.

该地块的入口从东侧提供,以确保最大限度的隐私和更容易进入。一个充满了郁郁葱葱的绿色植物的过渡性入口欢迎用户,它的策划是为了提供一个从外面的混乱中急需的休息。放松的庭院,与两侧的两个线性街区相辅相成,形成了占地2/3的建筑体量。这个向内看的庭院轻轻地遮住了外部世界的空间,将不同的实体,外部和内部,融合成一个和谐的整体,并作为房子的最内部核心。

Entrance to the site was provided from the east side to ensure maximum privacy and easier accessibility. A transitional entryway filled with lush greenery welcomes the user, which is curated to provide a much-needed respite from the chaos outside. The unwinding courtyard, complementing two linear blocks on either side forms the built mass spreading up to 2/3 of the site. This inward-looking courtyard gently veiled from the outer world space, blends the disparate entities, outer and inner, into a harmonious whole and acts as the innermost core of the house.

前面的建筑区域包括公共区域和一个厨房。被院子隔开的第二层建筑区包括卧室和普济区。通过这种方式,用户在招待客人时也能保持自己的隐私。位于两个院子之间的餐饮空间将两个建筑区连接起来。饭厅这种舒适的环境促进了团聚和联系。内院通过鸟叫声、喷泉涌出的水、阳光的闪耀、雨滴落下的优雅以及星空的阴森幻象,在家中营造出一种平静的感觉。在用户对空间的不同情绪中,佛像仍然是一个沉默和象征性的中心。

The front built area comprises common areas and a kitchen. The second layer of the built area separated by the courtyards includes the bedrooms and pooja area. In this way, the user can maintain their privacy even while entertaining guests. The dining space, located in between the two courtyards, connects the two built zones. Togetherness and bonding are fostered by this comforting setting of the dining room. The inner courtyard creates a sense of calm in the home with the sounds of birds, water gushing from the fountain, the shining light of the sun, the grace of the falling raindrops, and the eerie visions of the stars. Amidst the user’s varying moods with the space, the Buddha statue remains a silent and symbolic centre.

从主入口处打开的门将你的目光引向佛像。除了恢复空间的宁静,这尊佛像也是连接各空间的视觉轴线和脊柱。此外,这尊雕像也是体现空间精神本质的一个元素,通过水泉的微妙声音和各种感官方面的感受,在用餐区也能感受到。

Open doors from the main entrance invite your eyes to the Buddha statue. Besides restoring tranquillity to the space, this statue also serves as a visual axis and spine that links the spaces. Additionally, the statue is also an element that exemplifies the spiritual essence of the space through the subtle sound of the water fountain and various sensorial aspects that are felt in the dining area as well.

建筑物的西南角有两层地面和一个高耸的水箱;这为房屋的其他部分提供了急需的阴凉,使其免受钦奈的烈日之苦。在第一个建筑区,家庭影院坐落在客厅上方。家庭影院的两侧有一个露台花园,可以俯瞰下面的院子。因此,院子和家庭影院是动态连接的。

The South-West corner of the building has two floors above ground and a towering water tank; this provides a much-needed shade to the rest of the house from the scorching sun in Chennai. In the first built-up area, the home theatre sits above the living room. A terrace garden flanks the home theatre on either side, overlooking the courtyard below. Thus, the courtyard and the home theatre are connected dynamically.

院子里的随机碎石包层唤起了一种自然气息。外墙上的一层茯苓砖,大大减少了结构的吸热。厨房通向一个用jaali和玻璃覆盖的院子,而对面则是开放的,以吸引雨水和阳光。作为一个建筑体,其倾斜的屋顶和精心衔接的结构通过使用天然材料而变得更加丰富,该住宅成为周围不起眼的混凝土环境中的一个地标。

A natural vibe is evoked in the courtyards by the random rubble cladding. A layer of porotherm bricks on the façade, significantly reduce the heat-intake of the structure. The kitchen opens out to a courtyard covered with jaali and glass, while the opposite side is left open to invite rain and sunshine. As a building mass, with its sloping roof and the carefully articulated structure enriched by the use of natural materials, the residence becomes a landmark among unremarkable concrete surroundings.
