客户的要求是，他们希望有一个简单的结构，让人在远离城市的喧嚣和密集的结构中感受到与自然的联系。我们希望能以最简单的方式实现对自然材料的低成本使用。这座房子是通过一个组合结构系统建造的；有承重石墙和一个带有蝴蝶屋顶的钢制外部框架结构。
The client’s brief was they wanted a simple structure where one could feel connected to nature away from the hustle and dense fabric of the city. We aspired to achieve a cost-effective use of natural materials in their most simplistic nature. The house is constructed through a combined structural system; with load-bearing stone walls and an external frame structure in steel with a butterfly roof.
两面平行的石墙在东西方向上形成了房子的主体，作为房子的主要承重结构元素发挥作用。我们使用了黑色的陷阱德干石，这是一种来自附近的玄武岩石，是一种非常坚硬的石头。用这种石头实现成品砌体是非常困难的。这使墙面呈现出理想的原始、不平整和粗糙的特征。使用这种石头是为了给人一种非常坚固、自然、触觉上的体验，就像在一个山洞里。使用这些厚达18英寸的石墙也有助于在炎热的气候下保持室内的温度。
Two parallel stone walls oriented in an east-west direction form the body of the house, functioning as the main load-bearing structural element of the house. We have used black trap Deccan stone, a type of Basalt stone which is a very hard stone sourced from nearby. It is very difficult to achieve finished masonry with this stone. This gave the desired raw, uneven, and rough character to the walls. The stone was used to give a very robust, natural, tactile experience of being inside a cave. The use of these thick 18 inches of stone walls also helps thermally to keep the interiors cooler during hot climates.
在这些墙的两端，放置了玻璃窗，可以看到日出和日落的壮观景色。房子被安置在地块的正面，后面留出空地，作为内向的私人花园空间。在底层，这些石墙容纳了起居室、餐厅和厨房的空间，这些空间相互之间流动。一个轻金属结构在垂直方向上与这块石墙相交。我们希望有大型的户外空间，提供必要的庇护，使人们可以舒适地坐在户外。我们使用了钢结构，以获得一个非常光滑的结构，可以真正地与景观相融合，并允许人们享受四面无遮挡的景色。
At both the ends of these walls, glass windows were placed which gave spectacular views of the sunrise and sunset. The house was placed on the front side of the plot leaving open space behind for an introverted private garden space. On the ground floor, these stone walls house the living, dining, and kitchen spaces flowing into each other. A light metal structure intersects this mass of stone walls in a perpendicular direction. We wanted to have large outdoor spaces which provided necessary shelter such that one could comfortably sit outdoors. We used steel structure for this to have a very sleek structure that could literally blend with the landscape and allow one to enjoy uninterrupted views on all sides.
原石和简洁精确的金属之间的这种二元关系给人以非常有趣的体验。当人们走到第一层时，一个非常轻的金属结构带着玻璃外壳和蝴蝶屋顶，漂浮在强大而沉重的石墙之上。支撑屋顶的轻钢结构，四面都有玻璃，标志着一个坐落在砖石墙上的亭子。屋顶几乎消失在天空中，并从两边提供了广阔的开放视野。这给建筑带来了一种游牧的特征，否则它就会被强烈地固定在地面上。这也减少了建筑的固体垂直质量，否则会使它看起来更高更大，不符合居住的人性。因此，我们的想法是要实现一个房子，让人在规模上接地气，贴近自然，而不是太有纪念意义的东西压倒景观。
This binary relationship between the raw stone and the crisp and precise metal gives a very interesting experience. As one goes on the first floor, a very light metal structure with a glass enclosure and butterfly roof floats above strong, heavy stone walls. The light steel structure that supports the roof with glazing on all sides, signifies a pavilion that sits on the masonry walls. The roof almost disappears into the sky and gives vast open views from both sides. This gives a nomadic character to the building, which is otherwise strongly anchored to the ground. This also reduces the perceived solid vertical mass of the building, which would have otherwise made it look taller and bigger and not humane to inhabit. So the idea was to achieve a house that keeps one grounded and close to nature in terms of its scale and not something too monumental overpowering the landscape.
从这个坚实的体量中出来的露台和阳台在不同的方向上呈现出不同的景观，以便能够提供不同的和令人兴奋的户外体验，而不是变得过于平凡。内部和外部之间的关系被塑造成的方式使房子成为一个非常活泼和独特的空间。在一楼，滑动的木质隔板被用来围住卧室，卧室可以打开并与休息室结合，作为一个巨大的聚会空间，两边是开放的露台。自然材料的使用使其具有非常永恒的特点。木制家具被用于室内，使其叙述和体验更加强烈。用木头包覆的金属楼梯从石墙上悬空而下。裸露的原始混凝土天花板和墙壁构成了这个原始住所的设计语言。
The terraces and balconies coming out of this solid mass render views in different directions to be able to give different and exciting outdoor experiences and not become too mundane. The way in which the relationship between inside and outside has been molded makes the house a very lively and unique space. On the first floor, sliding wooden partitions are used to enclose the bedroom, which can be opened and combined with the lounge to function as a huge gathering space with open terraces on both sides. The use of natural materials gives it a very timeless character. Wooden furniture has been used for the interiors to make the narrative and experience even stronger. Metal staircases clad with wood are cantilevered from the stone walls. Exposed raw concrete ceilings and walls form the design language of this raw abode.
