架构师提供的文本描述。这份简报要求一个五口之家在350 Sq上住一所房子。地点位于德里郊区。客户渴望一套当代标志性的房子，不仅有一个居住单位，而且有不同层次的工作和娱乐场所。同时，他们想要景观的想法，可以相互连接的所有空间，无论是水平和垂直。客户倾向于一种巧妙的现代主义词汇，这种词汇将宜居空间与景观融为一体。与客户密切合作出现了一个简短的，试图仔细创建一个当代的房子，一个更流畅的空间安排，而不仅仅是一个功能设计。

Text description provided by the architects. The brief required a house for a family of five on a 350 Sq. site, located in the suburbs of Delhi. The clients aspired for a contemporary, iconic house that housed not only a living unit but also work and entertainment zones on different levels. At the same time they wanted landscape ideas that could inter connect with all spaces both horizontally and vertically. The clients’ penchant was towards a slick modernist vocabulary that amalgamated the habitable spaces with the landscape. Working closely with the client a brief emerged which sought to carefully create a contemporary house, with a more fluid arrangement of spaces, rather than just a functional design.

第一步是引入光线和通风，打开房子的南面，把院子打到屋顶上。这内部庭院作为隔开厨房，客厅和父母的房间在底层，同时确保视觉连接从所有居住区域之间的所有层次。

The first move was to introduce light and ventilation by opening up the south face of the house and punching a courtyard up to the roof level. This internal courtyard serves as a separator between the kitchen, living room and the parent’s room on the ground floor whilst ensuring visual connection from all living zones between all levels.

底层基本上是一个透明的平台，与户外景观相结合。玻璃沿着，周围和上面的固体元素，而旋转玻璃门打开到外面。由于使用无框地板到天花板玻璃，以及材料从内到外的连续性，内部和外部空间相互融合。

The ground floor is essentially a transparent podium, which engages with the outdoor landscape. Glass plays along, around and above the solid elements while pivoted glass doors open up to outside. The interior and exterior spaces blend seamlessly into each other due to the use of frameless floor to ceiling glass and a continuity of materials from the inside to the outside.

房子的主要特点之一是儿子在一楼和二楼之间的复式公寓。自然光渗透到双面的每一个角落，并对红色和灰色调色板作出反应，以创造一个赤裸裸的内部。优雅的钢和木楼梯悬臂伸出灰色纹理墙不稳定。较低楼层的房间用作休息室，设有密密的木质露台，上层用作卧室，与屋顶花园的室外甲板相连。

One of the key features of the house is the son’s duplex unit between the first and second floors. Natural light pervades every corner of the duplex and reacts to the red and grey color palette to create a stark interior. The elegant steel and wood stair cantilevers out precariously from the grey textured wall. The room on the lower floor serves as the lounge with an intimate timber decked terrace while the upper part is used as the bedroom that connects to the outdoor deck on the roof garden.

主卧室和浴室被慷慨地放置在一楼的前面，可以看到前面的园林景观。这座200平方英尺的主厕所位于入口悬臂上方，没有任何结构支撑，因此被命名为“悬吊式”住宅。自然光透过全高度的玻璃窗注入浴室，同时保持私人空间。

The master bedroom and bathroom have been generously placed to the front of the first floor with ample views to the front landscaped garden. The 200 sq.ft master toilet positioned right over the entrance cantilevers out without any structural support hence the name ‘overhang’ house. Natural light floods the bath through full height glass windows placed strategically and keep it private at the same time.

连接所有的层次是一个楼梯，它从建筑的边缘往内走，在一楼的顶部形成一个天窗。在天窗下面的墙壁上覆盖着垂直的木质构件，其余的则是玻璃，有水平的金属百叶窗，形成了楼梯核心的灯笼感觉。这一卷微妙地改变了形状和深度，通过拉日光投射阴影，晚上像灯笼一样发光。

Connecting all levels is a staircase that steps inwards from the building edge creating a skylight at the top of first floor. The wall just below the skylight is clad with vertical wooden members while the rest is glass with horizontal metal louvers creating a lantern feel to the stair core. This volume subtly changes shape and depth, casting shadow by pulling in daylight and glows like a lantern during evenings.

这座建筑被要求在气候和美学上对其背景做出反应，同时努力保持可持续性。该房屋采用被动设计技术，最大限度地利用南方阳光在冬季和通风冷却通过庭院。该建筑将所有雨水收集到收集坑中，利用屋顶太阳能电池板集热器提供所有热水加热。建筑的特点，如木材百叶窗，巨大的悬垂不仅增加了设计词汇，但有助于减少热量进入建筑物，从而使结构更热效率。

The architecture was required to respond climatically and aesthetically to its context and at the same time tried to be sustainable. The house incorporates passive design techniques to maximize its benefit from the southern sun during winters and ventilated cooling through the courtyard. The building captures all rainwater into harvesting pit, provides for all its hot water heating using rooftop solar thermal panel collectors. Architectural features such as timber louvers, huge overhangs not only add to the design vocabulary but assist in reducing heat gain into the building and hence making the structure more thermal efficient.
