“Vanvaso的意思是居住在大自然中，设计上也是以这个名字为鹄的。坐落在苏拉特区的瓦夫村，Vanvaso是一个远离城市，进入乡村，被郁郁葱葱的成片树林和农田包围的地方。Vanvaso提供了一个和平的环境，与苏拉特这样的繁华城市不同。这是一个远离日常喧嚣的地方，是第二个家，但却让肝脏感到更加放松和 “在家”。
“Vanvaso means to dwell within nature and the design bullseye’s the name. Situated in Vav village of district Surat, Vanvaso is a place of refreshment away from the city, and into the countryside surrounded by lush green patches of woods and farmlands. Vanvaso provides a peaceful environment, unlike that offered by a thriving city like Surat. It is a retreat from the routine hustle, a second home, yet one that makes the liver feel more relaxed and ‘at home’.
这座房子的外观具有城市气息，具有现代的奢华，但它又将传统的空间完美地融合在一起。它包括典型的印度特色，如chowk、墙壁艺术和壁画、庭院和与自然的联系，这是印度建筑不可分割的一部分。
The house has an urban touch to its exterior, with contemporary luxuries of the the modern day, yet it beautifully amalgamates the traditional spaces within. It comprises of typical Indian features like chowk, wall arts and murals, courtyards and connection to nature, an inseparable part of Indian architecture.
在现场，开发了一条道路，将住宅与农田分开。该结构被放置在地块的西南角，允许在前院有聚会草坪和景观设计。这给了房子隐私和平静的环境。沿着入口大道的小丘和树木掩盖了结构，当人们在路上前行时，增加了好奇心和惊喜的元素。
On site, a path is developed that divided the dwelling from the farmland. The structure is placed at the south west corner of the plot, allowing for party lawn and landscaping at the front yard. This gives privacy and calm environment to the house. Mounds and trees along the entrance avenue veils the structure and adds curiosity and element of surprise as one moves ahead on the path.
在入口处有一个欢迎访客的通道，大墙以worli艺术风格绘制，中央区域的景观界定了空间的特征。
At the entrance a chowk welcomes the visitor, with large walls painted in worli art style and landscaped central region that defines the character of the space.
房子的设计是根据空间的性质来划分区域的，在两者之间有一个用于互动的聚会空间，两侧有公共和私人区域。这就形成了印度人的体量，就像围绕着一个庭院的村庄结构一样；从而达到了设计的核心目的。
The house is designed by dividing the regions based on nature of spaces, giving a gathering space in between for interaction along with public and private zones on either sides. This forms Indian massing as that of village structures surrounding a courtyard; thus attaining the crux of the design.
北面的建筑是单层的，有很大的开口，与两边的景观相连。它包括公共空间–生活和餐饮区，以及一个美丽的内部庭院，中央有一棵盆景树。大的开口用悬垂和遮阳篷来遮挡，形成了两侧的半遮蔽式奥特莱斯。
The northern block is single storied with large openings, connecting to the landscape on both the sides. It comprises of public spaces – living and dining areas with a beautiful internal courtyard landscaped with a central bonsai tree. The large openings are shaded using overhangs and awnings that form the semi covered ottlas on both sides.
建筑物之间的空间被南部的建筑所遮蔽，它比北部的建筑要高。它允许凉爽的西南风通过树木和一个水池流动，引领公共区域和活动空间。它有一个半开放的甲板，泳池内有柱子，连接着各个空间，而吊床和放松的休息室则在甲板上蓬勃发展。
The spaces between the blocks are shaded by the southern block, that is higher than its northern counterpart. It allows the flow of cool south-west wind filtered through trees and a pool that leads the public area and activity space. It hosts a semi open deck with columns within the pool, connecting the spaces while hammocks and relaxing lounge flourish the deck.
水体的延伸被添加到游泳池之外，并进入砾石中，给建筑和它周围的景观带来漂浮的效果。石片围绕着水体，给人以甜点的效果，因此水体似乎是一个绿洲。一个冥想台就在这宁静的氛围中。
A water body extension is added beyond the pool and into the gravels, giving the building and the landscape surrounding it a floating effect. Stone chips surround the water body and gives the effect of a dessert, thus the water body seems like an oasis. A meditation deck rests in this peaceful atmosphere.
中央庭院包含一个开放的楼梯，通向南部街区的上层，那里有一个半开放的空间，形成了郁郁葱葱的农场框架。
The central courtyard contains an open staircase going to the upper floor of the southern block, where a semi open space develops the frame of lush green farm.
前面的聚会草坪空间留有一些功能，如凉亭、滑动秋千以及其他。景观元素如竹子、纹理包层、墙面颜色、灯光和声音都增加了印度村庄空间的氛围和形式。因此，房子变成了一个家，小的细节创造了一个更大的画面，使整个氛围比其组成部分的总和要大得多。”
The front party lawn space is left open with few features like gazebo, sliding swings along with others. Landscape elements like bamboos, textured cladding, wall colours, lights and sound all add to the ambience and form of an Indian village space. The house thus turns into a home, with the little details creating a bigger picture, making the whole atmosphere much larger than the sum of its constituents.”
