位于海德拉巴市Jubilee Hills检查站地区的一栋小型公寓楼的场地提供了城市和邻近公园的有利视野。海得拉巴是印度较早使用基于形式的编码来建造新建筑的城市之一。客户在获得市政部门对建筑围护结构范围的批准后，与我们联系，让我们对该建筑进行设计。

The site for a small apartment building located in the Jubilee Hills check post area of Hyderabad city offered vantage views of the city and of the adjoining park. Hyderabad is one of the early movers amongst cities in India that used form-based coding to structure the construction of new buildings. The client approached us to work on the building post obtaining municipal approvals for the extent of the building envelope.

在使用已批准的建筑围护结构范围的同时，我们重新规划了楼层布局，使每层的两个公寓单元通过每个单元相邻面的露台和阳台进行交叉通风。第二个干预点是由墙和水平防晒组成的建筑表皮。我们与来自印度南部Pondicherry的砖匠大师合作，设计了一个由9英寸厚的砖墙组成的墙体系统，这些砖墙可以承受石面门楣/chajjas的负载。 玻璃窗是凹进去的，镶嵌在由拱形砖墙和悬臂式石面门楣形成的开口处。

While working with approved building envelope extents we re-planned the floor layout so that the two apartment units on each floor were cross-ventilated through terraces and balconies on adjoining faces of each unit. The second point of intervention was the building skin comprising of walls and horizontal sun protection. Working with master brick masons from Pondicherry, in southern India we designed a wall system made from 9-inch-thick brick walls that corbelled to carry the load of stone-faced lintels/chajjas. Glass bay windows are recessed, set into the openings formed by the corbelled brickwork and the cantilevered stone-faced lintels.

为了确保墙体镶边的结构完整性，为泥瓦匠设计了木制模板。因此，虽然该项目在视觉上是由这些镶边墙界定的，但项目的系统潜力来自于这些简单的低技术含量的木制模板的设计，这些模板使镶边工作得以精确进行。该项目通过对工具和施工过程的开发，希望进一步提高工匠的专业技能，并帮助发展他们的工艺水平。

To ensure the structural integrity of the wall corbelling, wooden templates were designed for the masons to work with. So, while the project is visually defined by these corbelled walls, the systemic potential of the project is from the design of these simple low-tech wooden templates that allow for the corbelling to happen with accuracy. The project through its development of tools and construction processes looks to further the expertise of the craftsman and help in evolving the extent of their craft.
