架构师提供的文本描述。为两个兄弟和他们的家庭设计的两个单独的房子是这个项目的简要说明。该地块(1000 SMT)位于艾哈迈达巴德市(印度西部)郊区的R3区。来自客户的一个非常明确的指示是，他们不想分割情节，并将其作为两个家庭的一个巨大的公共空间。

Text description provided by the architects. Two individual houses to be designed for 2 brothers and their families was the brief of this project. The plot (1000 smt) is situated in the R3 zone of the outskirts of the city of Ahmedabad (Western Part of India). A very clear instruction from the client was that they did not want to divide the plot and use it as a huge common space for both the families.

这一项目的独特之处在于，这两所房子都需要看起来很相似，因为它们位于同一块土地上。因此，设计语言需要保持不变，但需求不同。

The distinctive quality of this project was that both the houses needed to look alike, as they are situated in the same plot. Thus the design language needed to remain the same, however the requirements differed.

材料的发挥是使用暴露的碾压混凝土和暴露砖工作在两所房子。在建造这座房子的过程中，成本是一个参数。这就要求我在不妥协我的设计的情况下找到替代材料。一个例子就是在抹灰表面使用暴露的碾压混凝土处理，以更低的价格获得更好的工作质量。此外，形成的群众在每个立面上给房子带来了许多变化。这几乎就像房子从各个角度看上去都不一样。

The material play was done using exposed RCC and exposed brick work in both the houses. During the making of this house, the cost was a parameter. This challenged me to find alternate materials without compromising with my design.  An example for this is using the exposed RCC treatment on the plastered surface to get a better quality of work in lower prices. Moreover the formed masses gave the houses many variations in each facade. It is almost as if the house looks different from every angle.

交叉通风是设计两栋房屋时考虑的一个重要因素。我想阻止阳光直接从南面和西面射进来，但是我不想阻止微风从房子里吹进来，所以用铝鳍作为防晒剂是最好的解决办法。

Cross ventilation was an important factor considered while designing both the houses. I wanted to prevent the direct sun rays coming in from the south and west facade, however, I didn’t want to stop the breeze coming in the house, thus using the aluminum fins as sun breakers worked as the best solution.

在房子里散步后，一个人也感受到了同样的外部建筑语言。内部外观是一个混合白色，暴露的碾压混凝土和暴露砖工作。外露的碾压混凝土墙增强了空间和优势。这两座房子里的壁画都是在现场设计和铸造的。我选择科塔石作为地板在房子里，因为它补充了建筑的语言，也大胆地展示了空间。

One feels the same exterior architectural language after walking in the houses too. The interior facades are a blend of white, exposed RCC and exposed brick work. An exposed RCC wall mural enhances the space and its dominancy. These murals, in both the houses, were designed and casted on site. I chose Kotah stone as flooring in the houses as it complements the language of architecture and also demarks the spaces boldly.

庭院和祈祷室作为缓冲空间在每间房子中运作，将个人空间和公共空间(如起居室和餐厅)隔开。两栋房子都有双高空间，以使公共空间显得宏伟。这些双高度也有助于保持两个楼层之间的视觉连接完整。(鼓掌)

The courtyard and pooja (prayer) rooms work as buffer spaces in each house, separating the personal and common spaces such as the living and dining rooms. Double height spaces are given in both the houses to make the common spaces look grand. These double heights also help to keep the visual connection between both the floors intact.

在我设计的每一个项目中，从房子的内部看到一个美丽的花园的概念仍然是一样的。我相信我的客户应该能够享受花园和景观，即使他们坐在房子里。因此，提供小庭院和提供充分的高度窗户，总是被纳入我的项目。这方面的一个很好的例子是鲁珠尔房子西侧的庭院。为了建立一个风洞，设计了一堵高墙来提供瀑布。穿过这个院子时，风会变凉，然后通过客厅进入餐厅，从而使整个房子变冷。

The concept of having a beautifully developed garden being seen from the insides of a house remains the same in every project I design. I believe my clients should be able to enjoy the garden and landscape even when they are seated in the house. Thus providing small courtyards and giving full height windows are always incorporated in my projects. An excellent example for this is the courtyard given on the western side of Rujul’s house. A high wall was designed to provide Cascade fall in order to create a wind tunnel. The wind gets cooler whilst passing through this courtyard and then enters the dining room through the living room, thus cooling the entire house.
