架构师提供的文本描述。格子式住宅位于印度西北部查谟市郊区的一个新郊区。它的背景反映了印度许多小城市的城市化性质，其增长速度快于政府/市政干预。非正规住区和以私人需求为基础的发展开始塑造迅速城市化的格局。正式的规划战略仅仅是对新的和非正式的住区的反应。

Text description provided by the architects. The Lattice house is located in a new suburb on the outskirts of Jammu city in north-western India. Its context is symptomatic of the nature of urbanization in many small Indian cities, growing at a pace quicker than that of government/municipal intervention. Where informal settlements and private need based developments begin to shape the rapidly urbanising landscape. And formal planning strategies are mere responses to the new and informal settlements.

在这样的背景下建造，缺乏一个独特的背景城市结构(除了基础设施塔)，该项目试图成为一个清晰的城市标志，从远处可见，它的材料奇点，与周围的发展的无位置形成鲜明的对比。

Building in a context like this lacking a distinct contextual urban fabric (besides the infrastructure pylons) the project attempts to be a sharp urban marker visible from a distance, its material singularity in sharp contrast to the placelessness of the surrounding developments.

 Floor Plan

这座房子被分成一系列的横向条带，模仿邻近建筑物的增量增长性质，其建筑形式仅仅是一个家庭在一段时间内不断变化的空间需求的衍生物。因此，这些乐队就成为了我们网站上的一种积木，随着它们所包含的空间的轻盈需求而移动或移出。

The house is broken into a series of horizontal bands mimicking the incremental nature of growth of the neighbouring buildings, the architectural form of which is a mere derivative of changing space requirements of a family over a period of time. These bands hence became a kind of building block on our site, moving in or out in response to the light requirements of the spaces they encompass.

房子的外墙也是对该地区气候严重程度的一种反应，该地区一年中经历了极端炎热和干燥的天气，因此垂直木格网的水平带起到了滤光器的作用。

The façade of the house is also a response to the climatic severity of the region which experiences extremely hot and dry weather for 8 months of the year and hence the horizontal bands of vertical wood lattice screens act as light filters.

建筑物的每一层都将由不同的家庭使用。从程序上讲，房子是由客户的生活方式构成的，这涉及到许多娱乐活动，因此厨房成为计划的中心，一边是生活/就餐，另一边是草坪。卧室的私人功能被放置在后面，使生活、就餐和烹饪的集体计划成为一个无缝的空间，通向前面的草坪。所有项目，无论是私人的还是公共的，都开放到花园的侧面或前面。

Each of the two levels in the building is to be used by separate families. Programmatically the house is structured by the clients lifestyle which involves a lot of entertaining and hence the kitchen becomes the centre of the plan flanked by the living/dining on one side and the lawn on the other. The private functions of bedrooms are placed to the rear making the collective programs of living, dining and cooking, happen as a seamless space towards the front opening out into the lawn. All programs whether private or public open into side or front garden spaces.
