顾名思义–一个7 x 17米的小场地,夹在两栋现有的房子之间(过去的泰米尔南都住房委员会建造了这些双胞胎房子来促进邻里关系),将被开发为私人住宅。

As the name suggests – a small site measuring 7 x 17m sandwiched between two existing houses (Tamil nandu housing board of yester years built these twin houses to promote the neighborhood) is to be developed as a private residence.

最短的一面是面向街道的一面,这就带来了以下挑战。
这是每个楼层和房间的唯一通风源。位于炎热和潮湿的热带气候,我们必须尽可能地保持开放。
作为一个小地方,必须将流通和服务(电梯、楼梯、厕所、商店、公共设施等)组合在一起,而不失去进入它们的空间,同时确保它们不侵犯前面和后面的外立面。

The shortest side being the one facing the street posed the below challenges.
This is the only source of ventilation for every floor and room. Located in a hot and humid tropical climate it is essential we keep is as open as possible.
Being a small site it’s imperative that circulation and services (lift, stair, toilets, store, utility etc.) are grouped together without losing space to access them and at the same time ensure they do not encroach on the exterior façade both in front and back.

房屋的设计是对上述挑战的直接回应。沿着深度交错的服务区块容纳了楼板,以达到最大的通风效果(参考图片–)经验丰富的柚木百叶窗表达了通风的多孔性。

Design of the house is a direct response to the above challenges. A staggered block of service along the depth holds the floor plates for maximum ventilation (ref image -) seasoned teak wood louvers express the porosity for ventilation.

在内部,该场地的策略包括在中心的双高餐厅和东边的阳台,10英尺高的房间门,沿着场地深度的厕所和衣柜使用天窗来感知增加空间的大小。

On the inside the strategies for the site include double height dining in the center with a balcony on east, 10 feet high doors for rooms, toilets and wardrobes located along the depth of the site use skylights to perceptively increase the size of the spaces.

材料饰面包括预抛光的Kotah石地板,镜面抛光的花岗岩隔断将厨房和餐厅分开,衣柜使用天然木皮饰面。

Material finishes include flooring in pre-polished kotah stone, mirror polished granite partition separates the kitchen to dining and natural wood veneer finish for wardrobes.
