顾名思义，房子是围绕着一个内省的院子发展的，创造了一个核心空间，与相邻的空间形成了有趣的多层次互动。这个院子是这个简单的房子的灵魂。
As the name suggests, the house is developed around an introspective courtyard, creating a core space that casts interesting multi-level interactions with the adjoining spaces. This courtyard is the soul of an otherwise simple house.
坐落在Vadodara的一个有门的社区的2900平方英尺的地块上，人们很容易想象到这个地方的环境并没有提供多少有趣的画布。因此，我们决定为我们的客户创造一个。考虑到地块的大小，我们避免在一些基本的东西上投入大量的空间，并对客户的要求作出妥协。我们更希望能从内部产生一些东西。因此，正如人们所看到的，我们在规划中把院子刻在中心位置，并围绕它设计了一个阶梯。从天窗透出的光线和院子里郁郁葱葱的植物一起为房子增添了活力，帮助我们在它周围创造了活跃的空间。
Situated on a 2900 sq. ft. plot of a gated community in Vadodara, the context of the site as one can easily imagine did not provide much of an interesting canvas. So we decided to create one for our clients. Being mindful of the plot size, we restrained from investing a lot of space on something elemental and compromising on the client’s requirements. We rather wanted to generate something from within. So, as one can see, we carved the courtyard centrally in the plan and designed a staircase around it. The light penetrating from the skylight and the lush green plantation in the court together add life to the house helping us create enlivening spaces around it.
规划相当简单，一楼的客厅、餐厅、厨房和一间卧室围绕着核心庭院。三间卧室在一楼，有一个俯瞰庭院的连接通道，家庭影院、艺术工作室和露台在二楼，有一个与一楼类似的通道，俯瞰庭院。
The planning is rather simple with the living, dining, kitchen, and one bedroom on the ground floor surrounding the core court. Three bedrooms on the first floor with a connecting passage overlooking the courtyard and a home theatre, art studio, and terrace on the second floor with a similar passage as the first floor, overlooking the courtyard.
建筑体量是一个浮动的砖盒。我们没有采用普通的砖砌体，而是选择了水平的堆砌体来把握那种引人注目的平实感。在南面和西面的方向刻出了花槽和阳台，作为内部空间的缓冲。这种绿色的帷幕打破了立面的坚固性。然后引入了倾斜的混凝土带的概念，以增加一些独特性，以及进一步创造对内部居住的好奇心和兴趣。
The massing is a floating brick box. Instead of going with the ordinary brick bond, we chose to use a horizontal stack bond to grasp that striking plainness. Planters and balconies are carved out in the south and west directions to act as buffers for the internal spaces. This greenery curtain breaks the solidity of the façade. The concept of oblique concrete bands was then introduced to add some uniqueness, as well as to further create curiosity and interest for what dwells inside.
室内是三种材料的游戏–灰色地板、白色墙壁和木制家具。这些家具要么是内置的，要么是非常简约的，但同时又与外部的坚定不移的稳固性相一致。试图完全和单独保持庭院的重要性，而不是将其转移到花哨的元素中。
The interior is a play of three materials – grey flooring, white walls, and wooden furniture. The furniture is either built-in or very minimal, but at the same time is in sync with the unflinching solidity of the outside. An attempt is made to wholly and solely maintain the importance of the courtyard rather than shifting it to fancy elements.
楼梯靠着屋内唯一的砖墙而升起，虽然简单，但却增加了一种元素的宁静感。它上面的天窗在砖墙上投下了异想天开的科幻画。这些影子的游戏和它底部的核心庭园一起，使房子在整个白天都充满戏剧性。总而言之，对普通人来说，这所房子似乎是一个简单、普通的房子。是居民在日复一日地体验生活的过程中，体验到了它的非同寻常的特性。
The staircase rising against the only brick wall inside the house, though simple, adds an elemental tranquillity. The skylight above it cast whimsical sciography on the brick wall. The play of these shadows along with the core court at its base keeps the house dramatic throughout the day. To sum it up, this house appears to be a simple, ordinary house to a common man. It is the resident, who on experiencing life day after day, experiences its extra-ordinary character.
