客户Saseenkumari女士和Jayakumaran Thampy先生为他们在特里凡得琅市密集区的202平方米的第二套住宅提出的设计要求是 “特别的东西”。 这座建筑是为了安置他们的共同家庭，包括他们的儿子和妻子，以及他们的女儿，他们都是医生。

The design brief from clients Mrs. Saseenkumari & Mr. Jayakumaran Thampy for their second home on a five cents ( or 202 square meter) property in a densely settled part of Trivandrum city, was a pithy requirement for ‘something special’. The building was intended to house their joint family consisting of their son and his wife, as well their daughter – all of whom are medical doctors.

在有限的地块面积中，倾斜的形状使一个倾斜的立方体（或 “SKUBE”）形式有机地出现了。这被预先涂成白色，以增强变形的柏拉图形式的宁静–就像它被周围繁忙的社区的喧嚣所突出一样。狭小的场地对功能的要求特别具有挑战性，包括一个可容纳两辆车的车廊、起居和用餐空间、厨房和附属的工作区、四间带浴室的卧室，以及上层的家庭娱乐室。

The skewed shape of the restricted plot footprint organically allowed for a skewed cuboid (or ‘SKUBE’) form to emerge. This was presciently painted in white to augment the sereneness of the morphed platonic form – highlighted as it were by the pandemonium of its busy surrounding neighborhood. The functional requirements for the tight site were particularly challenging and consisted of a car porch to house two vehicles, living and dining spaces, kitchen and attached work area, four bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms, as well as a family rumpus room in the upper floor.

在整个设计中，采用了裸露的极简主义设计方法，效果非常好。主入口是从外部阳台通过入口壁龛进入客厅，然后面对一个小型景观 “法院 “在前面。相邻的餐厅向后方的类似功能开放，允许交叉通风。这个后院被一个开放的天窗处理所覆盖，让阳光垂到内墙，并在视觉上表示出一个垂直的联系。在水平方向上，这个空间也环绕到开放式厨房平面，形成一个和谐流动的连续空间。

A bare minimalist approach to design has been adopted to great effect throughout. The main entrance is from an external verandah via an entry niche into the living room, which then faces a mini landscaped ‘court’ in front. The adjoining dining room opens out to a similar feature in the rear allowing for cross ventilation. This rear court is capped by an open skylight treatment, allowing sunlight to drape the internal walls and to visually denote a vertical link. Horizontally also, this space wraps around to the open kitchen plan to form one harmoniously flowing, continuous space.

为这一方案锦上添花的是格子状的前立面墙，其整齐的 “砖块粘合 “图案的穿刺，突出了纯白色外墙涂料的视觉效果，同时也让光线和微风进入建筑，而不影响对隐私的需求。

Adding to this schema is the use of the latticed front façade wall with its neat ‘brick bond’ pattern punctures, which accentuates the visual effect of the pristine white external paint finish, whilst also allowing light and breeze ingress pathways into the building without compromising on the need for privacy.

与此相反，赤陶百叶遮挡了一楼两个卧室的阳台，为外立面增添了一抹温暖和视觉趣味。雄心勃勃的功能简介没有给房子留下任何双高处理的空间，但明智的空间规划和对比例的辨识使用弥补了这一点。一楼的卧室也同样向庭院开放。一楼共有三间卧室，此外还有一个小型的通向天空的露台空间。天花板和地面都采用了类似的灰色调，而墙壁则涂成白色，形成对比。

In contrast to this, the terracotta louvers screening the balconies to two bedrooms on the first floor, add a splash of warmth and visual interest to the external façade. The ambitious functional brief for the house left no space for deploying any double height treatments, but this was more than compensated for by judicious spatial planning and the discerned use of proportions. The ground floor bedroom too similarly opens out to a courtyard. The first floor has a total of three bedrooms, in addition to a small open-to-sky terrace space. The ceiling – with its exposed concrete finish, along with the floors both follow a similar calming grey-based colour palette, whilst the walls are painted white for contrast.

在内部，楼梯及其简洁的、几乎是内敛的 “混凝土浇筑 “设计，被墙面般的屏风板扶手设计所包围，确保了楼梯的视觉私密性。楼梯间也因为各种嵌入式的开孔，让光线、空气和声音都能轻松地穿透和流动，而有了一种空灵的氛围。这座朴实的房子优雅地坐落在周围所有视觉的喧嚣中，静静地吸引着路人好奇的目光。

Internally, the staircase and its pared back, almost visceral ‘poured concrete’ design, is cocooned by wall-like screen panel handrail design, ensuring visual privacy for the stairs. The stairwell also has an ethereal ambience to it on account of the various embedded openings allowing for easy penetration and flow of light, air, and sounds. This unpretentious house elegantly sits amidst all the visual noise of its surroundings, and is a quiet cynosure of the curious eyes of passersby.
