该住房项目位于孟买东北部约60公里处，为在一家大型企业集团的彩色涂层工厂的工业设施中工作的54户员工提供住房。家庭、亲属和社区在印度社会中发挥着关键作用。住房的设计考虑到了这些社会文化的现实。

The housing project is located about 60 km to the north east of Mumbai which houses 54 families of staff working in the industrial facility of a color coating plant for a large corporate group. Family, relatives, and community play a critical role in Indian society. The housing has been designed keeping these socio-cultural realities in mind.

以孟买的贫民窟为参考来组织空间，我们认为它是一种类型，具有成为社会催化剂的巨大可能性。四套公寓，每套540平方英尺，沿着走廊空间串联。在它的尽头是楼梯。

Using the Mumbai chawl as a reference to organize the spaces, we saw it as a typology with the tremendous possibility of being a social catalyst. Four apartments of 540 sq.ft. each is strung along a corridor space. At the end of which sits the staircase.

在底层，公寓可以单独进入，有自己的小的半私人空间，类似于印度传统房屋（Pols、Wadas等）中特有的 “otla”（升高的入口水平基座）。三座建筑与半圆形的整体建筑一起，形成了这个大型的中央社区空间，所有的走廊都通向这个空间。

On the ground floor, the apartments are accessible individually having their own small semi private space, resembling the characteristic “otla” ( raised entrance level plinth) seen in the traditional houses of India ( pols, wadas, etc.). Three blocks come together along with the semi round monolithic block to form this large central community space into which all the corridors open.

每个楼梯的形式都被仔细地衔接起来，使每个区块都有一点扭曲，从而使每个区块都有自己的特征。建筑系统是一个非常简单的砖和混凝土系统，使用当地的工匠。结构系统被仔细校准，以产生一个有助于将建筑的规模扩大到更人性化的水平的外墙。

The form of each staircase is carefully articulated to give each block a little twist and hereby giving each an identity of its own. The construction system is a very simple brick and concrete system using locally available artisans. The structural system is carefully calibrated to produce a facade which helps to scale the building to a more humane level.

社区和共同生活的理念一直是这个项目的一个关键意图。走廊、楼梯、阳台和 “奥特拉斯 “开辟了一个更大的公共空间，创造了一个恢复活力的社区精神，加强了居住在工业设施中的人们的归属感和团结感。

The idea of the community and living together has been a key intent of this project. Corridors, staircases, balconies and “otlas” opening up into a larger public space creating a rejuvenated community spirit and reinforcing a sense of belonging and togetherness for people living in industrial facilities.
