这所房子的简介是一份清晰的文件，它深入探讨了这个三口之家想要生活的细微差别。这个家庭由一位企业家和实业家组成，嫁给了一位波西米亚作家，还有一个十几岁的女儿，他们希望这座房子能反映出他们生活的多样性。

The brief for this house was a well articulated document that delved into the nuances of how this family of 3 wanted to live. The family, comprising an entrepreneur-industrialist, married to a bohemian writer and with a teenage daughter, wanted the house to reflect the diverse range of their lives.

 Ground Floor Plan

我们的客户想从工作人员和临时访客那里获得隐私。他们想从生活的压力中得到一片平静的绿洲。回忆成长在一个“老”班加罗尔，一个沉睡的殖民地平房城市，即使是同时想要干净的现代线条的当代建筑。他们想要一个空间来呼吸，一个阳台看雨，还有一个花园让波特在里面转来转去。他们想要一个生态敏感的房子，有大量的自然光和通风；所有这些都在快速增长，混乱，充满活力的新班加罗尔的城市范围内。

Our clients wanted privacy from staff and casual visitors. They wanted a peaceful oasis from the stresses of life. Memories of growing up in an “old” Bangalore, a city of sleepy colonial bungalows, even while wanting the clean modern lines of contemporary architecture. They wanted space to breathe, a verandah to watch the rain fall, and a garden to potter about in. They wanted an ecologically sensitive house, with lots of natural light and ventilation; all of this within the city limits of a fast-growing, chaotic, and vibrant new Bangalore.

作为建筑师，我们面临着一个独特的命题：在一片大的1.3万SFT地块中创建一个相对较小的3卧室住宅项目。这为我们提供了空间操控的奢侈品，尤其是在我们生活的城市环境中，这是非常罕见的。

As architects, we were confronted with a unique proposition ; to create a relatively small program of a 3 bedroom house within a large 13,000 sft plot of land. This afforded us a luxury in the manipulation of space, specially rare in the urban context in which we live.

这座房子的设计源于我们与客户的几次交谈和讨论。这座房子应该在其现代性中对班加罗尔殖民地的过去进行解读和怀旧，它应该巧妙地划分公共和私人空间，它应该是节能和可持续的，而且由于家庭是狂热的读者，房子应该容纳并重视他们不断增长的藏书。

The design of the house grew out of the several conversations and deliberations we had with our clients. That the house should in its modernity be interpretive and nostalgic of Bangalores colonial past, that it should demarcate public and private spaces cleverly, that it should be energy efficient and sustainable, and that since the family  were avid readers, the house should accommodate and give importance to their ever growing collection of books.

这些考虑因素对于确定房屋的基本空间流动是很重要的。从道路上看，一条小小的柱状曼加洛尔铺有木制柱子的人行道穿过一个热带庭院，里面满是鱼塘、黄色的石墙和一个祖传的秋千。它导致了一个戏剧性的充满光的大教堂，就像大厅的空间。门厅起到缓冲的作用，一边可以进入餐厅、厨房和工作人员区，另一边可以进入双高图书馆。

These considerations were important in establishing the essential spatial flow of the house. From the road, a modest colonnaded mangalore tiled covered walkway with wooden columns traverses a tropical courtyard replete with a fishpond, yellow ochre walls, and an ancestral swing. It leads to a dramatic light filled cathedral like foyer space. The foyer acts as a buffer from which one can move into dining, kitchen and staff areas on one side and the double height Library on the other.

 First Floor Plan

一层平面图

图书馆作为一个中心空间受到重视，因为它结合了家庭的各种活动，并为家庭提供了一个锚。750 SFT地区有一个25英尺高的门式房屋顶，有木制桁架和一个超过30英尺长的书架。这是一个家庭聚居的休闲空间，精心划定的游憩、学习、听音乐、弹钢琴和娱乐的区域都是在一个开放式的布局中划分出来的。旧式的慷慨空间通过大的滑动门轻轻地从图书馆溢出到一个宽敞的1500 SFT阳台和游泳池甲板，以及一个大花园。这些地区的相互联系为一个宏伟而无缝的生活空间提供了条件。阳台和甲板上舒适的座位群与图书馆和花园相互作用。

The Library is given importance as a central space as it combines various activities for the family and provides an anchor to the house. The 750 sft area has a 25ft high gabled roof with wooden trusses and a bookshelf spanning over 30 feet in length. It is a casual space where the family congregates, where carefully demarcated areas for lounging , studying , listening to music , playing the piano, and entertaining are carved out in an open plan layout. The old fashioned generosity of space gently spills out from the Library via large sliding doors into an ample 1500 sft  verandah and pool deck as well as a large garden. The interconnectedness of these areas allow for a grand and seamless living space. Comfortable clusters of seating in the verandah and deck interact with the library as well as the garden.

有两条主轴线贯穿整个规划：一条从入口向西，从入口到门厅，穿过图书馆，在一楼客房结束。另一个从南到北，从图书馆流向走廊，然后流向花园和游泳池。这两间私人卧室建在一楼，其形式在花园和游泳池甲板上盘旋。

There are 2 primary axis that penetrate the plan: one leading east to west from entrance court to foyer through the library and terminating at the ground floor guest bedroom. The other is south to north flowing from the library to the verandah and then to the garden and pool. The two private bedrooms are set up in the first floor with their form hovering over the garden and pool deck.

材料的选择是手工制作和本地的。我们在门厅、餐厅和图书馆里用大面积的黄色贾塞尔墨石作为主要材料，让它流入我们专门为这所房子在水磨石上制作的花纹瓷砖。在门廊，曼加洛尔和喀拉拉邦的瓦片屋顶漆成白色，而门框和窗框的图案殖民瓷砖和柚木以及柱子提供了高度纹理的相互作用。

The choice of material is hand crafted and local. We used large expanses of Yellow jaiselmer stone as the predominant material in the foyer, dining and library and let it flow into a floral patterned tile that we created in terrazzo specially for this house. In the verandah mangalore and kerala tiled roofs are painted white, while the patterned colonial tile and teakwood of the door and window frames as well as the columns provide for a highly textural interplay.

我们和我们的客户广泛地讨论了这所房子家具的选择，因为我们希望每一件作品都能讲述一个故事，同时处理整体的建筑叙事。在图书馆里，一个大的L形座椅提供了锚，研究桌转换成一个台球桌和其他的作品作为异想天开和好玩的艺术对象漂浮在空间内。另一方面，在阳台上，各种家具的折衷选择在一组座位上彼此交谈。意大利大型品牌的作品，如Moroso，B

The selection of furniture in this house was deliberated upon extensively by us and our clients as we wanted each and every piece to tell a story while working with the overall architectural narrative. In the library a large L shaped seating provides the anchor, the study table converts into a pool table and other pieces act as whimsical and playful art objects floating within the space. In the verandah on the other hand an eclectic selection of furniture converses with one another in a cluster of seating. Pieces by large Italian brands like Moroso, B&B Italia and Emu are juxtaposed effortlessly with colonial pieces as well as those custom designed by us.

图书馆取得了很大的效率，因为它通过西部门式房屋顶上的光伏太阳能电池板发电，并将多余的雨水储存在一个巨大的地下水池中。

The Library House achieves a great degree of efficiency in that it generates most of  it's own electricity via photovoltaic solar panels on the western gabled roof, and stores excess rainwater in a large underground sump.

最后，景观与房子完全结合在一起，庭院和花园里到处都是雕塑和热带植物，与建筑环境互补。

Finally the landscape comes together in complete synergy with the house, with the courtyard and garden peppered with sculpture and tropical plants and complementing an architecture at ease with its context.

图书馆在其计划中将不同的情绪并列在一起，调整规模，在你进入的时候创造一个令人惊讶的元素，并在你前进的时候创造一个发现的过程。有一个空间的分层和一个旧的和新的，全球和印度的延续，这延伸到所有的空间。光线和空气的质量总是存在的，创造了一种沉思的平静。

The Library house juxtaposes different moods within its plan, modulating scale and creating an element of surprise as you enter, and a process of discovery as you move along. There is a layering of space and a continuing bricolage of old and new, global and Indian, that extends through all the spaces. The quality of light and air is always present creating a contemplative calm.
