在印度贝尔高姆镇的一个小型学生住房项目的设计中，探索了将截面作为一种装置，垂直地分层设置一系列半私人的生活空间。计划中看似简单的空间划分，实际上是一个复杂的独立生活单元的分层，以实现最大的密度，同时保持居住者的舒适生活标准。场地是一块很小的地块，面积只有100平方米，建议在这块土地上建造建筑。要容纳的学生人数更多的是规模经济和投资回报的结果，而不是仔细研究这样的场地在传统上能容纳多少人。总的来说，这栋面积约为225平方米的建筑可容纳29名学生，分别为半私人的三人间和双人间。

The design for a small student housing project in the town of Belgaum India explores the section as a device to layer a series of semi-private living spaces vertically. What seems like a straightforward division of space in the plan is actually a complex layering of self-contained living units to achieve maximum density yet maintain comfortable living standards for the occupants. The site is a minuscule parcel of land barely measuring a 100 square meters on which the building was proposed. The number of students to be accommodated is more a result of the economics of scale and return on investment rather than a careful engagement with what such a site could traditionally accommodate. In all, the building of about 225 sq.m accommodates 29 students in a semi-private triple and double occupancy units.

由于场地狭小，建筑必须垂直叠加，但建筑必须低于规定的15米，而15米以上的高层建筑必须符合严格的消防安全规定。因此，建筑物的围护结构被侧面的边缘和高度的限制所固定。为了使房间不那么幽闭，更多的相互联系，我们制定了一个策略，在一个部分开发房间，从地板到地板的高度只有2400mm。住户的半私人空间依偎在一个由入口大厅、茶水间和厕所设施组成的小型公共区域周围，所有这些都由一个内部楼梯串联起来。

With such a small site, the building would have to be stacked vertically, but the building had to be below the stipulated 15 meters above which stringent high rise building regulations for fire safety are required to be met. Thus the buildings envelop is fixed by the side margins and the height restriction. To make the rooms less claustrophobic and more interconnected, a strategy was evolved to develop the rooms in a section with a floor to floor height of only 2400mm. Semi-private spaces for the occupants are nestled around a small common area consisting of an entrance lobby, pantry, and toilet facilities, all of them strung together by an internal staircase.

有两种类型的房间配置，像拼图一样相互分段对接。考虑到这是一个在小场地上具有成本效益的项目，在这个设计中一切都被压缩了。每一毫米的空间都是经过辩论的。如果厕所的墙壁被认为消耗了太多的空间，就用40毫米的卡达帕石板代替，这个细节也消除了在潮湿地区使用瓷砖的需要。抹灰的表面被保持在最低限度，甚至砖墙也没有抹灰，只是涂成白色，以便在视觉上开阔空间，也便于定期维护。

There are two types of room configurations that sectionally dovetail into one another, like in a jigsaw. Considering that this is a cost-effective project on a small site, everything is pared down in this design. Every millimeter of space was debated upon. If the walls of the toilets were thought to consume too much space, they were replaced by 40 mm kadappa stone slabs, a detail that also eliminated the need for tile work in wet areas. Plastered surfaces are kept to a bare minimum, with even the brick walls being unplastered and just painted white so as to visually open up space and also allow for regular upkeep.

学生的个人空间被设计成拥有最少的空间和最少的家具。个人生活空间在视觉上和物理上都与共享区域相互连接。立面是一个小的战略决定的总和，将房间单元进行分段置换。窗户外墙只是暗示了内部分段的复杂性，但也增加了立面的整体性。错落有致的剖面创造了一个动态的屋顶轮廓，主导了天际线，否则就会有很多小的附着物，象征着周围的郊区蔓延。该建筑被涂成深红色，以突出其动态的屋顶轮廓以及其几乎是单一的形式。在印度这个五彩缤纷的喧嚣环境中，它仍然主宰着这个街区，但却显示出一种不受约束的俏皮，这是任何地方的学生生活的特点。

The individual spaces of the students are designed to have the bare minimum space with minimum furniture. The individual living spaces are interconnected visually as well as physically with the shared areas. The elevation is a sum total of small strategic decisions to sectionally displace the room units. The window fenestrations just about hint at the sectional complexity within but also add to the monolithic nature of the facade. The staggered section creates a dynamic roof profile that dominates the skyline that is otherwise littered with small accretions that are emblematic of the suburban sprawl all around. The building is painted in a deep red to accentuate its dynamic roofline as well as its almost monolithic form. In the colorful cacophonous milieu that is mofussil India, it still dominates the neighborhood, yet displays an irreverent playfulness that is characteristic of student life anywhere.
