“砖墙幕布”是印度哈里亚纳邦卡纳尔镇的一座小办公楼。办公室不得不从繁忙的商业街迁往没有大建筑特色的住宅区。这种干预必须是微妙而大胆的。办公空间必须作为官邸的附属建筑，供特许会计师家族使用。确定的空间是一楼75平方米的露台和地面上的一小部分花园。这所房子是一个街角地块，有两个独立的入口，一个是住宅，另一个是办公室。新结构必须容纳三个客舱空间和工作站，可容纳8至10名雇员和一个候机室。

‘Brick Curtain’ is a small office building in Karnal, a town in the state of Haryana, India. The office had to be relocated from a busy commercial street to a residential area with no great architectural character. The intervention had to be subtle yet bold in its identity. The office space had to be built as an annexe to the residence, for a family of Chartered Accountants. The space identified was a terrace of 75 m2 on the first floor and a small portion of the garden on the ground. The house being a corner plot allowed two independent entries, one for the residence and the other for the office. The new structure had to house three cabin spaces and workstation for eight to ten employees and one waiting lounge.

场地比例为3.5m×20m的限制不允许在办公功能的分区和布局方面出现许多可能性。简报要求工作站和小木屋靠近，因此将这些功能分配在一楼，而底层则容纳候机室。在邻近的建筑和现有的房子之间，空间除了前部和后部的开口外，还从天窗中吸收自然光线和通风。接待室旁边有一个双高的景观庭院，标志着一个人进入办公室，这让人大吃一惊。园林景观也让人想起了原来的花园。双高过渡空间视觉延伸景观庭院到天空，增强室内室外关系。明亮的办公室因其浅色的调色板而更加突出，并与简单的家具元素、光线和阴影组成一起发挥作用，以创造一个温暖而现代的工作场所。

The constraint of 3.5m x 20m as the site proportion did not permit many possibilities in terms of zoning and layout of the office functions. The brief required the workstations and cabins to be in close proximity, and as a result these functions were allocated on the first floor, while the ground floor accommodated the waiting lounge. Packed between the neighbouring building and the existing house, the space draws natural light and ventilation from a skylight, in addition to its front and rear end openings. A double height landscape court adjoining the reception-waiting lounge marks ones entry into the office, which comes across as a pleasant surprise. The landscape court is also reminiscent of the original garden. The double height transition space visually extends the landscape court to the sky enhancing the indoor outdoor relationship. The well-lit office is accentuated by its light colour palette and plays with simple elements of furniture, light and shadow compositions to create a warm and modern workplace.

与室内空间不同的是，外部在美学上是朴实的和健壮的。西侧的3.5米x 7.5米的外墙是办公室与街道的唯一接口，而北面的一小部分则与现有房屋的花园相互作用。一位“从街上走进来，拉开窗帘”的姿势已经从这个高地捕捉到了。这种意图是由一个像织物一样的凹痕和卷曲的表面造成的。简单的材料，如砖块，容易得到的材料，使海拔是泥土，仍然保持动态的表达。一个重复的砖块铺设系统被部署，以使当地石匠仔细制作90度扭转超过整个立面的高度。其余的海拔发展为砖，贾利斯和纹理的组合，以补充弯曲的墙壁。高地作为街道和内庭之间的一个门槛，给了一家30岁的公司一个新的身份，这个公司在搬迁过程中可能会丢失。

In contrast to the interior spaces, the exterior is earthy and robust in its aesthetics.  A 3.5m x 7.5m façade on the West side is the only interface the office has with the street, while a small portion on the north side interacts with the garden of the existing house. The gesture of one “entering from the street by moving aside a curtain” has been captured through this elevation. This intent is brought about by a surface that indents and curls like a fabric. Simple corbelling of an easily available material like brick enables the elevation to be earthy and still maintain the dynamic expression. A repetitive system of brick laying was deployed to enable local masons to carefully craft the 90 degree twist over the entire height of the façade. The rest of the elevation was developed as a composition of brick jalis and textures complimenting the curved wall. The elevation acts as a threshold between the street and the inner court and gives a fresh identity to a 30 year old firm that could have been lost in the process of relocating itself.
