一个位于40′-0 “X 60′-0 “地块的单人住宅，是在对位置和方案的细节进行严格调查后演变而来的。我们的客户P.V.Varghese先生是我们合作设计过程中的一个重要伙伴。作为对他的设计简介的回应，我们提出了 “树木拥抱者之家 “的想法。

A Single residence in a 40’-0” X 60’-0” plot evolved from a rigorous inquiry into the particulars of location and program. Our client, Mr. P.V.Varghese, is a valued partner, in our collaborative design process. As a response to his design brief, we came up with idea of “Tree hugger House”.n“As an architect, one needs to design a built environment, rather than just being a shelter.”

在了解了客户的背景（来自喀拉拉邦–上帝的国度）、优先事项、价值观和灵感、喜欢和不喜欢之后，我们了解了我们的挑战。首先，我们要创造一个具有喀拉拉邦建筑和室内空间价值的现代住宅，使之与客户的个性产生共鸣。

With the understanding of our clients background (from Kerala-God’s own country), priorities, values and inspirations, likes and dislikes we got to know our challenges. First one was to create a contemporary residence with Values of Kerala architecture and interior spaces that would resonate with the client’s personality.

精华-特色
在一个密集的城市环境中，我们用我们的建筑环境拥抱自然，关注内部和外部的对立面。棕榈树分隔了低层的停车场和人行道，从主卧和一楼的公共阳台看去，棕榈树的叶子流向阳台，成为一种视觉享受。

The Essence- Special Features
In a dense urban context, we embraced nature with our built environment to focus on the dichotomy of interior and exteriors. The Palm tree that divides the parking and pedestrian path at lower level, acts as a visual treat from Master Bed and common balcony at first floor with its foliage flowing into the balcony.

在材料调色板中选择有限的颜色，有助于将人们的注意力引向景观和室内使用的木材。木材被用作关键元素，增加了 “颜色和纹理”，为空间组织带来了温暖和丰富。景观是该项目中的焦点元素，它将整个建筑和非建筑结合在一起，并突出了附近的活力。住宅内的动态变化与景观元素所经历的季节性变化有关。

The choice of limited colors in the material palette, helps in drawing the focus towards the landscape and the wood used in the interiors. Wood was used as the key element that added “colour and texture” that brought in warmth and richness to the spatial organization. Landscape is the focal element in this project that knits the entire built and un-built together and highlights the liveliness in the neighborhood. The dynamics within the home change with respect to the seasonal changes the landscape elements undergo.

概念。 树木拥抱者
我们的客户，亲近自然，希望他的梦想之家能够与自然紧密相连，因为这让他想起了他的家和童年。因此，他要求我们 “围绕一棵树设计一座房子”。我们的挑战是在城市场景中实现同样的氛围。喀拉拉邦传统住宅的大面积占地面积和它的优点必须在较小的城市占地面积中得到体现。

Concept: Tree Hugger
Our Client, is close to nature, and wanted his dream house with a close connection to nature as it reminded him of his home and childhood. So he asked us to “design a House around a Tree.” Our challenge was to achieve the same ambience in an urban scenario. The large footprint of a traditional kerala home and its virtues had to be imbibed in a smaller urban footprint.

这个概念被认为是对喀拉拉邦大多数房屋中传统的 “Nadumuttam（中央庭院）概念 “的抽象，其中房屋是围绕一个焦点景观特征（通常是Tulsi植物）组成的。
作为对他的设计简介的回应，我们提出了 “拥抱树木的房子 “的想法，我们称之为 “抱树者，一个具有喀拉拉邦建筑价值的当代城市住宅”。

The concept was conceived as an abstraction of the traditional “Nadumuttam (central courtyard) concept” in most of the houses in Kerala, wherein the homes are composed around a focal landscape feature usually a Tulsi plant.
As a response to his design brief, we came up with idea of a ‘house that embraces trees’ we call it a ‘’Tree hugger, a contemporary urban residence with values of Kerala Architecture.’’
