脚手架屋是一个位于班加罗尔的低成本改造项目，在这个项目中，原来的承重楼有三套公寓，现在已经改造成了两套复式房屋。原来的建筑是由客户在一个60’x60’的正方形转角场地上建造的，作为一个养老院。它包含了他们在一楼的三居室住宅，以及在一楼的两个出租单位（一个两居室公寓和一个单居室公寓）。

The Scaffold House is a low-cost renovation project based in Bangalore, in which the original load bearing building had three apartments has been converted into two duplex houses. The original building was built on a square 60’x60′ corner site by the clients, as a retirement home. It contained their three bedrooms home on the first floor, along with two rental units (one two bedroom apartment and a single bedroom apartment) on the ground floor.

一旦他们的儿子搬到班加罗尔，房子的形式就出现了问题。需要对房子进行重新整合。脚手架房屋的想法源于一种务实的翻新方法，澄清了对 “新 “与 “旧 “的理解。

The format of the house came into question once their son moved to Bangalore. A reconsolidation of the house was needed. The idea of the Scaffold house stems from a pragmatic approach towards renovation, clarifying the understanding of the ‘new’ in context to the ‘old’.

结构、场地和预算方面的考虑需要一个大胆的干预，将项目从精打细算的改造转变为积极的建筑干预，使之成为一个家庭住宅。建筑中心的一个20’x20’的广场被小心翼翼地打破，成为这个干预的核心。这个空间成为催化重组过程的体量。由于建筑的外围有大部分的现有功能，它们主要是在有限的干预下被保留下来。

Structure, site and budget concerns needed a bold intervention which changed the project from a finicky renovation to one of a motivated architectural intervention in that of making a family house. A square of 20’x20′ in the centre of the building was broken down carefully becomingthe central core for this intervention. This space became the volume catalyzing the restructuring process. Since periphery of the building had most of the existing functions, they were mainly retained with very limited intervention.

一个由2 “x2 “低碳钢箱体组成的轻量级钢结构 “脚手架 “被搭建在这个核心空间中，因为它成为新与旧的谈判语言。这个框架也作为现有结构的结构纽带，因为它将现有结构固定在原地。现有房屋的墙体被缓慢而谨慎地重新配置，以实现这一转变。楼梯、通道、花园和循环空间都进入了这个中心空间，包括一个影音室和一个露台休憩区。中央核心上方的轻质半透明板可以让明亮的阳光进入两栋房子，因为它还可以让外围空间交叉通风。

A light weight steel ‘scaffold’ of 2″x2” mild steel box sections was erected in this central core space as it became the language of the new as it negotiated with the old. This framework also acted as a structural tie for the existing structure as it held it in place. The walls of the existing house were slowly and carefully reconfigured to enable this transformation as well. The staircases, passages, gardens, and circulation spaces came into this central space, including an AV room and a terrace sit-out. A light translucent sheet above the central core gets bright sunlight into both the houses, as it also enables cross ventilation for the peripheral spaces.

钢脚手架的影子在白天移动时，随着光线和季节的变化，为房屋注入了活力。钢结构脚手架也出现在外部，将生活空间延伸到西面和南面马路立面的美丽的活性花园中。

The shadows of the steel scaffold, as they move through day animate the houses with the changing light and seasons giving a living pulse to the houses. The steel scaffold showed up externally as well, to extend the living spaces into beautifully activated gardens in the west and the south road facing facades.

大院的墙体被抬高，并在上面进行了烤漆处理，将这些花园纳入到每栋房子的私密性和安全性中。在地面上占据较多空间的南边部分成为父母的房子，而随着越往上越高的北边部分则成为儿子的房子。脚手架屋是一个雄心勃勃而又务实的项目，它确保了其影响力的最大化，而不至于陷入困扰大多数装修项目的黑暗漩涡。

The compound walls were raised and grilled above, to include these gardens into the privacy and security of each house. The southern part which occupied more space on the ground became the parents’ house while the northern part which grew as it went higher became the son’s house. The Scaffold House is an ambitious and pragmatic project ensuring that it maximizes its impact without getting sucked into a dark spiral which plagues most renovation projects.
