架构师提供的文本描述。一对工作夫妇向我们走来，想在一个20英尺x40英尺的小场地上设计他们的房子。该地点位于一个人口非常稠密的居民区，周围的大多数建筑要么共用墙壁，要么彼此之间没有什么挫折。

Text description provided by the architects. We were approached by a working couple to design their house on a small site of 20 ft x 40 ft. The site is located in a very densely populated residential locality, where most of the surrounding buildings either share walls or have very little setbacks between them.

考虑到鞋带的预算和背景，我们一开始就想建立一个内向的建筑，它可以有足够的光和开放来创造一个舒适的环境。为了增强这种体验，我们还探索了在小区域内创造不同体积的可能性，方法是在不同的高度上玩地板。

Keeping the shoe string budget and context in mind, we began with an idea of creating an introverted building which could have enough of light and openness to create a comfortable environment. To enhance this experience, we also explored the possibilities of the creating different volumes inside the small area, by playing with the floor planes at different heights.

住宅垂直分为三个区域：私人区(二楼)、公共区(第一层和上层)和半公用区(地面和地下)。

The house is divided into three zones vertically, the private (second floor), public (first and upper ground) and semi public (ground and lower ground).

私人区域由位于建筑物两端的两间卧室组成，两间卧室之间插入浴室的中央海湾隔开。主卧室面向道路，有一个巨大的突出和一个儿童的卧室被推到后端。屋顶上的天灯确保了隐私，并始终保持室内光线充足，使终端用户可以灵活地有时关闭窗户，这是因为邻近的建筑物非常靠近。

The private zone consists of two bedrooms positioned on either ends of the building, divided by central bay of bathrooms inserted between the rooms.  The master bedroom faces the road with a large standout and a children’s bed room is pushed to the rear end. Sky lights in the roof  ensure privacy and keep the interiors filled with light all the times, giving the end user flexibility to keep windows closed at times, due to the close proximity of neighbouring buildings.

一间天花板很高的起居室外溢到了房子后侧一个空旷的天井里，模糊了房子内外的界限。餐厅和厨房是在客厅之外的分层规划的，形成了一个单独的公共区域，视觉上连接着庭院中的景观。

A  Living room with high ceiling spills out into to an open to sky courtyard at the rear side of the property, blurring the boundaries between the inside and outside of the house. The dining and kitchen are planned on split level besides the living room, forming a single public zone connected visually to the landscape in the courtyard.

我们利用了分隔层所创造的空间，成功地在厨房下面插入了一个门厅、停车场和起居室下面的一个半沉的多用途房。

Taking advantage of the space created by the split levels, we managed to insert a foyer , car park below the kitchen and a partially sunk multipurpose room below the living area

这所房子从房子的三面的边缘向后倾斜，后面是最深处。建筑物的左边与邻近的物业共用一道墙。一个服务核心，包括楼梯和次级房间，如Pooja/公用设施，被放置在这一边，以保持外墙自由，以创造穿刺。在右侧将门庭与起居区连接起来的受挫处引入了二级楼梯。

The house is set back from the edge of the property on three sides, with the rear being the deepest. The Left side of the building shares a common wall with the neighbouring property. A service core consisting of the staircase and secondary rooms like the pooja / utility were positioned on this side, to keep external walls free, for creating punctures.  A secondary staircase was introduced in the setbacks on the right side connecting the entrance court to the living area.

室内材料的选择仅限于白色墙壁的中性色调、暴露的混凝土天花板/楼梯的灰色以及板条和栏杆上的一小部分打磨木材，以给整个托盘带来温暖。

The choice of materials for the inside the house was restricted to neutral tones of white coloured walls, grey colour of the exposed concrete ceiling / staircase and a small portion of polished wood on slats and railing trims, to bring in the warmth to the whole pallet.

面对道路的唯一的立面是由白色水平和垂直带在边缘，与一个相当大面积的暴露混凝土表面有最小的开窗。与非常响亮、色彩鲜艳的环境相比，外部皮肤上的所有元素都与钢铁构件和木制板条结合在一起，形成了一个简单的外观。

The only elevation facing the road is formed by white coloured horizontal and vertical bands on the edges, with a sizable area of exposed concrete surface having minimal fenestration. All the elements on external skin are the tied together with steel members and wooden slats creating a simple façade, compared to the very loud and colourful surroundings.
