Lightness of Being 住宅

当建筑试图将两种矛盾的力量融合在一起时，就会产生一种隐喻的意义。“轻盈”的概念一般是指物体或材料的物理重量。在设计领域，当它被用来改变视觉质量和氛围时，它可以采取一种超现实主义的立场。通过对形式的操纵、材料的运用和对光影的控制，这个概念会演变为一种感官体验。

When architecture attempts to merge two paradoxical forces, there arises a metaphorical meaning to what hasbeen achieved. The concept of 'lightness' generally relates to the physical weightof objects or materials. In the realm of design, it can take a surrealistic stance when used to alter the perceived visual mass and ambience. Through the manipulation of forms,play of materials and control of light & shadow, the concept evolves into a sensory experience.

该项目位于喀拉拉邦的沿海城市Kozhikode，建筑围护结构朝北，为入口立面提供了隐私。房子则停留在一个完全向内的环境中，将底层的社交和共存空间与上层的私人空间分开。

Located at the coastal city of Kozhikode in Kerala, the project was given an architectural envelope that orientates to the north providing privacy to the entrance facade. The house then rests within a completely inwards focused environment, separating both the social and co-existence space on the ground floor and the private space on the upper floor.

巨大的混凝土板漂浮在空中，相互交错，创造了生活空间，而玻璃--项目中的主要元素--有助于划分内部空间，而不会将其与外部区域的茂盛树叶分割开来。屋顶上使用的木材的善良品质确保了房屋内的环境温度保持舒适，并有助于进一步与周围的自然和绿色植物建立自然联系。

There are vast concrete slabs that float and interlace with each other creating living spaces, while glass – a prevailingelement in the project - helps to demarcate the interior spaces, without dissecting them from the lush foliage in the external areas. The benevolent qualities of wood put to use at the roof level ensures that the ambient temperature within the house stays comfortableand helps to further thenatural connect with the surrounding nature and greenery.

我们生活的城市正变得越来越幽闭，大多数客户的简报明确指出，他们希望家庭是不混乱的。其根本原因是，在其他功能中，它必须提供服务，家是一个休息和恢复活力的地方。

The cities we live in are becoming increasingly claustrophobic. Most client's briefs categorically state that they want the homes to be uncluttered. The underlying reason for this being that among other functions it must serves, the home is where one heads back to for rest and rejuvenation.

这一理解引导我们通过双层高度的使用为内部密室注入充足的空气，并使内部空间完全通过开口照明。高天花板和大框架窗内的空间提供了一层和一层的通畅的视野。分区分布融合了家庭的公共空间和内外生活区，生活区毗邻项目的一个基本部分——室内庭院。当庭院出乎意料地出现在通向主客厅的外立面上时，就产生了一种惊喜感。

This understanding leadus to instill ample airinessin the inner sanctum by the use of double heights and made the interior spacescompletely illuminated by openings. Voids within the high ceiling and large framedwindows offer unobstructed views to the ground floor and first floor. The zoning distribution blends the family's common space and an inside-out living area adjacent to one of the fundamental parts of the project - the indoor courtyard. A sense of intrigue is created when the courtyard unexpectedly appears beyond the facade wall that leads to the main living hall.

客户在促成这个项目的过程中发挥了不可估量的作用--这是一对年轻的、受过教育的夫妇，他们对建筑和我们的设想充满了好奇心和兴趣。没有他们的合作，这个项目是不可能实现的。

The client's role in facilitating this project is immeasurable - a young, educated couple with a curiosity and interest about architecture in general and our vision. Without their collaboration, this project would not have been possible.
