这块土地靠近森林，位于毗邻的当地古老家族拥有的茶园的山脚下，成为一对来自班加罗尔的夫妇的周末之家。除了捕捉山景和谷景，创造一个有利的视角，为生活和夜间休息做不同的区块，并为日常生活提供有阳光的公共空间；在这里面，还有很多更深层次的问题和事物为这个设计提供了参考。
The land set near the forest, at the foothill of an adjoining local old family-owned tea estate has become the weekend home for a couple from Bangalore. Other than capturing the mountain and valley views, creating a vantage viewpoint, making different blocks for living and for retiring at night, and having common spaces for daily living with sunlight; within it, there are much deeper questions and things that inform this design.
这个住宅，最初被设计成一个单一的实体，很快就随着中央座位区的迷人机会而支离破碎，它将在地平线上俯瞰远处的山脉和山谷的夕阳–大部分是森林。这成为住宅中除遮蔽区之外最重要的地方。这里紧靠一棵现有的Jamun树，成为项目的核心。起居室、餐厅、休闲座椅、厨房、供孙子和成人使用的舒适的夹层阁楼以及化妆室汇集在一个大型谷仓/工作室般的空间里，庆祝北方阳光的存在，天窗贯穿整个空间。透过天窗照射进来的光线和图案开始使季节和一天中的时间发生变化。这个空间从墙壁到整个屋顶都是单色的粗糙石灰石膏，在室内无缝连接。
This home, first designed as a singular entity soon fragmented itself with the fascinating opportunity of the central seating area which would overlook the setting sun at the horizon over distant mountains and valleys – mostly forested. This became the most important place of the home other than the sheltered areas. This is anchored close to an existing Jamun tree and this becomes the heart of the project. The living, dining, casual seating, kitchen, a cozy mezzanine attic for the grandchildren and adults, and the powder room come together in a large barn/studio-like space celebrating the presence of north sunlight with a skylight all along the length of the space. The light and patterns of sunlight coming through the skylight begins making the change of season and time of the day. The space is monochromatic in rough lime plaster starting from the walls to the entire roof seamlessly in the interior.
客厅区块被冒险地悬空，打破了承重结构的限制，朝向西方和山脉/山谷，在这个角落里有一个大的窗户和一张休闲椅，用于享受大片的风景，并从内部处于边缘。在项目的中心–被生活区和卧室区缓缓包围的是天井，可以俯瞰野草景观、山谷、山脉、周围的森林，以及地平线上的日落。由钢和玻璃制成的玻璃桥就像是生活区和睡眠区块之间的格桑花链接。模块化的结构框架和桥梁对周围的透明度，以及绿色、阳光和天井景观的奢华，使其成为一个通道和 “时刻”。
The living room block is cantilevered adventurously, breaking the constraints of load-bearing structures, towards the west and the mountains/valley with a large window opening and an easy chair in this corner, for enjoying a large expanse of view and for being on the edge from within. At the center of the project – gently surrounded by the living and the bedroom block is the patio that overlooks the wild grass landscape, the valley, the mountains, the surrounding forests, and the sunset over the horizon. The glass bridge made of steel and glass is like a gossamer link between the living and the sleeping space block. The modular structural framing and the transparency of the bridge to the surrounding, with the luxury of green, sunlight, and a view of the patio make it a passage and a ‘moment’.
在敏感的生态环境中的建筑需要在设计、材料的选择和细节方面加以注意。在这个项目的材料、设计和细节方面，一些深思熟虑的平衡已经成为该项目关注的一部分，包括 除了移除一些占用大量地下水的桉树外，保持现场大部分树木的完整；收集并使用屋顶的水进行灌溉；对地下水进行补给；在不影响土地自然形成的情况下，保持地基内的巨石的完整。在建筑的外部和内部使用石灰抹灰，而不是水泥抹灰，因为石灰抹灰是人工磨制的，与水泥相比，需要的加工量要少得多；在道路工程和路径上使用天然的巨石，这些巨石是手工塑造的，没有太多的底层材料；使用当地石材和混凝土的挡土墙；为视野和热增益而优化的窗体
Architecture in sensitive ecologies needs care in design, the choices of material, and detail. Some of the thoughtful balancing that has been part of the project material, design, and details of interest in this view of care are: keeping most trees at the site intact other than the removal of some Eucalyptus trees which take up much of the groundwater; collecting and using the roof water for irrigation; recharging the groundwater; keeping the found boulders within the foundations intact without disturbing the natural formation of the land; lime plaster on the exterior and interior of the building instead of cement plaster as it is manually ground and requires far less processing compared to cement; use of natural boulders for the road works and pathways that are hand shaped and laid without much underlay material; retaining walls with the use of local stone and concrete; fenestrations optimized for views and heat gain
