有什么比被鸟叫声唤醒，能够吸入新鲜的泥土气息，见证初升的太阳更美呢？这个农舍距离苏拉特市约10公里，不仅是居住者的家，也是各种动植物生长的宁静之地。该团队为祖籍苏拉特的客户设计了一个 “家”。他们的要求是一个周末住所，反映出他们对与家人和朋友一起度过高质量时间的兴趣，同时整合自然环境。

What is more beautiful than to be waking up by the sounds of birds, to be able to inhale the fresh earthy scent and witness the rising sun? Located approximately 10kms away from the city of Surat, this farmhouse is a home to not just its occupants, but also a peaceful place for various flora and fauna to grow. The team designed a ‘home’ for the clients whose roots are from saurashtra. The brief was a weekend abode that reflected their interest in spending quality time together with family and friends, whilst integrating the natural environment.

为了应对该物业的三角形环境，空间的摆放被证明是在具有挑战性的边界内探索的机会。从西南方向的场地入口处，迎接近在咫尺的亲朋好友的是果园的香气。在主入口附近设计了一个圆形的礼拜堂，让我们想起了旧时代的一个重要元素；一个有利于社会互动的地方。碎石砌成的弧形石墙将空间部分包裹起来，当人们往里走时，会产生一种好奇心和安全感。

In response to the property’s triangular-shaped setting, the placement of spaces turned out to be an opportunity to explore within the challenging boundaries. The site entrance from the southwest greets the near and dear ones with the aroma of orchards situated to their right side. A circular chowk designed right near the main entry reminds us of one of the important elements of old times; a place that facilitates social interaction. The rubble-masonry curved stone wall partially wraps up the space creating a sense of curiosity and security as one leads the way inside.

10,400平方米的地块构思了2,420平方米的建筑面积，将大部分的部分用于绿化。建筑布局参考了索拉斯特拉的生活方式和文化。中心面向东侧的阳台连接着两个主要部分，侧面是一个半开放的空间，具有相对的私人和半私人的空间。一个部分包含非正式的起居室、用餐区和厨房–一个开放的计划。布置了空调的双层高的客厅，大面积的玻璃表面提供了跨越流通区域和朝向农场的不间断的视野。而在另一边，是一个双层的体量–更加私密，有卧室和浴室。

The 10,400 sq. mt area of plot conceives a 2,420 sq. mt area of built-up, dedicating most of the portion to greens. The building layout references the lifestyle and culture of Saurashtra. The veranda at the center facing the east side connects two main sections flanking a semi-open space, featuring private and semi-private spaces opposite each other. One section contains the informal living, dining area, and kitchen – an open plan. The fabricated, air-conditioned double-height living room with large, glazed surfaces provide uninterrupted views across circulation areas and out towards the farm. While at the other side, is a double-story volume- more private and has bedrooms and bathrooms.

集中的家庭聚会空间在两个单元之间创造了一种连续性的感觉，这两个单元向草坪区敞开，从而为其居民建立了一个有意的治疗环境。除了阳台之外，场地上还设计了各种类型的半开放空间；其中一个可以俯瞰草坪，另一个被命名为 “ashok vatika”，在果树丛林中稍远处静静地休息。在农舍建筑的末端，有一个次要的生活空间，包括露天剧场、游泳池和宿舍，通过全玻璃的南向墙向景观开放，屏蔽了阳光的直接照射。

The centralized family gathering spaces create a sense of continuity between the two units, which open wide toward the lawn area resulting in building an intentionally therapeutic environment for its residents. Various types of semi-open spaces are designed over the site other than the veranda; one of which is overlooking the lawn and the other, named ‘ashok vatika’ a little far into the fruit tree jungle that rests in silence. At the end of the farmhouse building, there is a secondary living space that consists of amphitheater, a swimming pool and a dormitory which open to the landscape with a fully- glazed south-facing wall, shielded from the direct sunlight.

基座的设计是这样的，它连接了户外厨房等空间，台阶形成了大型聚会的非正式座位和户外烹饪的消防空间。建筑物周围的景观设计是为了暂停和庆祝生活，通过使用不同的纹理、颜色和周到的场地规划来提高我们的每一个感官体验。建筑师将自然融入设计的目的也反映在项目的材料选择上，创造了一个调色板的经验。IPS和金色的科塔石地板与外墙上的科塔石片纹理创造了一种简单的感觉。甚至家具也是由现场回收的木头制成。

The plinth is designed in such a way that it connects the spaces like outdoor kitchen with the steps forming informal seating for large gathering and fire space for outdoor cooking. The landscape surrounding the built-up is designed to take a pause and celebrate life by enhancing the experience with our every sense using different textures, colors, and thoughtful site planning. The architects’ aim of incorporating nature into the design is also reflected in projects material choices creating a palette of experiences. IPS and golden kotah stone flooring with the kotah stone chip texture on the exterior walls creates a sense of simplicity. Even the furniture is made from reclaimed wooden on-site.

命名为VAHDIVAN；其中VAHDI的意思是 “停留一周”，VAN的意思是 “森林”，当客户表示–“起初，这个农舍只打算在工作日使用，但它已经被塑造得如此富有成效，将来可能会成为我们的永久住所 “时，他们表达了喜悦和幸福。

Named VAHDIVAN; where VAHDI means ‘stay for a week’ and VAN mean ‘forest’, led to the expression of joy and happiness when stated- “At first, this farmhouse was meant to be used on weekdays only, but it’s been so fruitfully shaped that it might become our permanent house in future”, expressed by the clients.
