架构师提供的文本描述。开玩笑地结合自然和几何，这个住所在果阿给人一种感觉，生活在你周围的现代舒适的家。作为孟买四口之家的第二个家，“风格新鲜度和生活舒适度”是最重要的两个标准。

Text description provided by the architects. Playfully combining nature with geometry, this residence in Goa gives a perception of living in your surroundings within the modern comforts of your home. Built as a second home for a family of four from Mumbai, ‘Freshness of Style and Comfort of Living’ were the two most important criteria.

该遗址沿山坡，自然分为两个层次，由一个三米高的红土墙，沿南北宽度。其他现有特征包括红土墙下部的一口井和一棵无花果树，以及紧靠红土墙上层的一棵巨大的菠萝树。这座房子是围绕着这些特色设计的，形成了核心，并创建了一个“分层庭院”。

The site runs along the slope of a hill and is naturally divided into two levels by a three meter high laterite wall running along the North South width. Other existing features included a well and a fig tree on the lower level of the Laterite Wall and a huge jackfruit tree immediately on the upper level of the Laterite Wall. The house was planned around these features, forming the core and creating a ‘split level courtyard.’

入口大厅视觉上邀请您到分裂的水平庭院，这很容易被误认为是户外，因为它暴露了所有现有的自然元素。这个院子用金属笼固定起来，就像百叶窗一样，以免在视觉上切断室外的连接。引入光和微风的笼子也是一个强大的设计元素。连接房子的楼梯和玻璃电梯是这个庭院的组成部分，上面有一个玻璃屋顶，露出树木和天空。

The entrance lobby visually invites you to the split level courtyard which can easily be mistaken for the outdoors as it exposes all the existing natural elements. This courtyard is physically secured by a metal cage acting like louvers in order not to visually disconnect the outdoors. The cage which brings in light and breeze is also a strong design element. The staircase and glass lift which connects the house is an integral part of this courtyard and is covered with a glass roof, exposing the trees and sky above.

温暖潮湿的气候让建筑师有机会同时参与室内和室外生活。白天的空间，如起居室和餐厅在较低的层，打开到前面的花园和甲板在东方和分裂的水平庭院在西方鼓励日照和交叉通风。

Warm-Humid climates give architects an opportunity to play with both indoor and outdoor living simultaneously. The day spaces such as living and dining rooms are on the lower level opening out onto the front garden and deck on the east and to the split level courtyard on the west encouraging day light and cross ventilation.

上层由较低层以上的露台上的大型木甲板和分隔层庭院中围绕着菠萝树的卧室单元组成。所有的浴室都有私人的、与世隔绝的庭院，里面有花盆，阳光明媚，给人一种热带的感觉和“审美情趣”。卧室里有百叶窗，以便即使关闭时也能带来持续的微风。

The upper level comprises of a large wooden deck on the terrace above the lower floor and the bedroom units surrounding the jackfruit tree in the split level courtyard. All bathrooms have private secluded courtyards with planters which bring in daylight and  give one a feeling of being in the tropics and ‘aesthetic appeal’. The bedrooms have louvered wooden shutters in order to bring in constant breeze even when shut.

 Ground Floor Plan

上下楼通过木桥连接，一个通过电视休息室进入上层单元，然后引导你走到红土台阶上，走到景观美化的小道上和各个展馆。从卧室的甲板上，你可以畅通无阻地看到朝东的稻田。

The Lower and Upper blocks are connected through a wooden bridge.  One enters the upper unit through a TV lounge which in turn guides you to the laterite steps and onto the landscaped pathway and to the various pavilions. From the decks of the bedrooms, you get unobstructed views of the paddy fields towards the east.
