架构师提供的文本描述。这个项目是一对建筑师夫妇的家庭工作室。既练习建筑师，又分享对建筑，音乐和绘画的热情。该网站的范围为3美分，并有沼泽的土壤条件。空间需要灵活，作为工作空间，练习音乐和讨论空间。设计需要紧凑和现代化的材料和结构。随着施工时间的延长，预算是一个主要问题。最初，我们的想法是有单独的音乐空间。

Text description provided by the architects. The project is a home studio for architect couple. Both practicing architects and share the passion for architecture, music and painting. The site has an extent of 3 cents and has marshy soil condition. Space needed to be flexible and work as a workspace, place to practice music and discussion space.  Designed needed to be compact and modern in its material and construction. The budget was a major concern along with construction time. Initially our idea was to have separate space for music & architecture. The triangular profile of the design comes from attic, a space that doesn’t requires walls thus reducing the need for a heavy foundation and thus cost. The whole space is divided into two levels ground floor and attic level. Which act as workspace and leisure respectively.

 Conceptual Sketch

概念草图

喀拉拉邦传统建筑是喀拉拉邦建筑特有的地域表现形式，是地理、气候和历史因素共同作用的结果。喀拉拉邦建筑最具特色的视觉形式是为保护房屋的墙壁和抵御强烈的季风而建造的长而陡峭的斜坡屋顶，通常是用砖瓦支撑在由硬木和木材制成的屋顶框架上。在结构上，屋顶框架支撑在墙壁上的柱子上，立柱从地面升起，以防止热带气候中的潮湿和昆虫。当在房间空间中加入天花板的时候，山墙窗户在两头逐渐形成，以提供阁楼通风。

Traditional Architecture of Kerala The characteristic regional expression of Kerala architecture results from the geographical, climatic and historic factors. The most distinctive visual form of Kerala architecture is the long, steep sloping roof built to protect the house’s walls and to withstand the heavy monsoon, normally laid with tiles supported on a roof frame made of hard wood and timber. Structurally the roof frame was supported on the pillars on walls erected on a plinth raised from the ground for protection against dampness and insects in the tropical climate. Gable windows were evolved at the two ends to provide attic ventilation when ceiling was incorporated for the room spaces.

阁楼空间的作用就像一个绝缘体，保护下面的空间免受炎热的太阳照射。阁楼是在房屋倾斜屋顶下面发现的空间。阁楼填补了顶楼的天花板和倾斜的屋顶之间的空间，他们是以笨拙的形状空间，暴露出来的萝卜和难以到达的角落而闻名。阁楼通过提供大量缓慢移动的空气来帮助控制房子的温度。从建筑物较低的楼层升起的热空气经常保留在阁楼中。

Attic Space Attic space acts like an insulator protecting the space below from hot sun. An attic is a space found directly below the pitched roof of a house. Attics fill the space between the ceiling of the top floor of a building and the slanted roof, they are known for being awkwardly shaped spaces with exposed rafters and difficult-to-reach corners. Attics help control temperatures in a house by providing a large mass of slowly moving air. The hot air rising from the lower floors of a building is often retained in attics.

方向结构以南北轴为主，南侧的树木遮挡着刺眼的太阳。放松空间朝北迎风

Orientation Structure is oriented in North-South axis and the trees on southern side blocked the harsh sun. Relaxing space faces towards north receiving prevailing winds & pleasant light.

从三角轮廓的设计来自阁楼，一个空间，不需要墙，从而减少了需要一个沉重的基础，因此成本。

施工过程材料的选择和施工工艺的选择受结构荷载、成本、安装维修时间、时间和可持续性等因素的影响。我们的材料托盘由重复使用的红土，回收钢，陶土，水泥板，中密度纤维板，胶合板，玻璃和GI板组成。尺寸是事先计划好的，以避免浪费，使安装更容易、更快。从出发之日起，整个建筑大约花了两个月的时间。所有的工作都是在建筑师的完全参与下完成的，因此许多不可预见的问题可以在现场解决。突如其来的夏雨推迟了进程。

Construction Process The selection of materials and construction techniques were influenced by the structural load, cost, time of installation and maintenance over the time and sustainability.  Our material pallet consists of reused laterite, recycled steel, terracotta, cement board, MDF, plywood, glass and GI sheets. The dimensions were planned before hand to avoid wastage and make installation easier and faster. The whole construction took around two months from the date of setting out. All works were done with the complete participation of architect hence a lot of unforeseen issues could be solved on site. Unexpected summer rain delayed the progress.
