架构师提供的文本描述。工作室位于印度拉贾斯坦邦拉斯沙漠的起伏地带，18套公寓是整个布局的一部分，占地36英亩。由于附近没有建筑物或发展项目，现正为在附近开始生产的一家新水泥厂的工人制定这一布局。附近没有现有的开发项目，离场地1公里有四个村庄。从附近村庄的有机布局中可以看出，这些住宅单元分布在穿过该地点的有机街道的现有轮廓内。

Text description provided by the architects. Situated on an undulating site in the deserts of Ras, Rajasthan, India, Studios 18 apartments are a part of an entire layout spread over 36 acres. With no buildings or development in the vicinity, this layout is being created for the working people of a new cement manufacturing plant that has commenced production nearby. Close to the site there is no existing development and there are four villages at a distance of 1 km from the site. Taking a cue from the organic layouts of the neighbouring villages near the site, the residential units are interspersed within the existing contours along organic streets that weave through the site.

这18套住宅公寓遵循了印度老城市的有机特征，房屋向后退，并在三层建筑之间形成了互锁的建筑量。一个4m的等高线差是由建筑物的水平相应地下降来协商的。针对夏季8个月、气温超过35°C的炎热干旱气候，这些公寓均向北、东北和西北方向发展，没有面向南方的公寓。低层设计允许18间工作室的居民接近地面，就像住在单独的房子里一样。

The 18 residential apartments follow the organic nature of old Indian cities with houses stepping back and creating interlocked built volumes across three levels. A 4M contour difference is negotiated by the building levels stepping down accordingly. In response to the hot arid climate prevalent in the location of 8 months of summer and temperatures in excess of 35°c, the apartments are all oriented towards the north, north east and northwest with no apartment facing the south. The low rise design allows the residents of studios 18 to be close to the ground level akin to living in individual houses.

连接外壳块的循环空间自然通风，两侧都有方形标点符号的抽象组合，便于空气通过。刺眼的阳光被切断了；然而，在直线走廊内允许自然光，并在一天中的不同时间创造不同的模式。直线走廊在公寓之间提供了一条凉爽、通风、有遮挡的人行道，让居民们可以看到两边的景观空间，同时穿行，使循环成为一种有趣的体验。每个公寓也是交叉通风与深凹窗户和开放的天空露台。

The circulation spaces connecting the housing blocks are naturally ventilated with an abstract composition of square punctuations on either side facilitating air to move through. The harsh glare of the sun is cut off; yet allowing natural light within the linear corridors, and creating different patterns at different times of the day. The linear corridors provide a cool ventilated sheltered walkway between the apartments allowing residents to glimpse landscaped spaces on either side while walking through and making the circulation an interesting experience. Each apartment too is cross ventilated with deep recessed windows and open to sky terraces.

颜色作为一个不可分割的参数，在区分体积，以及识别流通空间有趣，同时暗示颜色的区域。在拉贾斯坦邦，色彩在每天穿鲜艳颜色的人的生活中扮演着重要的角色。好像是为了弥补周围干旱沙地的影响，他们穿着色彩鲜艳的衣服和珠宝。拉贾斯坦邦的大多数城市都是用颜色来识别的。拉贾斯坦邦的乔德布尔被称为蓝色城市，传统的家都是蓝色石灰灰泥。Jaisalmer被称为黄城，因为它的传统房屋是用黄色的砂岩建造的。使用的调色板是其视觉效果中最重要的部分。解构的立方体运动在一天的不同时间，不同的颜色沙区-视觉区分阶梯，凹槽的体积，以及识别流通空间。随着较轻的色彩在外墙反射热量的表面，和更深的色调在室内创造一种更凉爽的感觉，他们增加了对高度“反应”的设计解决方案的影响。

Color acts as an integral parameter in differentiating volumes as well as identifying circulation spaces interestingly while alluding to the colors of the region. In Rajasthan colour plays an important role in the lives of the people who wear bright colours daily. As if to compensate for the miles of arid, sandy terrain they see around them, they wear brightly coloured clothes and jewelry. Most cities in Rajasthan state are identified by a colour. Jodhpur in Rajasthan is known as the blue city with traditional homes in hues of blue lime plaster. Jaisalmer is known as the yellow city for its traditional houses being built in yellow sandstone. The colour palette used is the most significant part of its visual impact. The deconstructed cubes sport varied hues of the sandy region, at different times of the day – visually differentiating the stepped, recessed volumes as well as identifying circulation spaces. With lighter hues on external walls to reflect heat off the surfaces, and darker tones indoors to create a cooler feel, they add impact to the highly ‘responsive’ design solution.
