架构师提供的文本描述。四合院的设计采用7英尺x7‘的网格。住宅的设计从一开始就把所有的居住空间和通道面向开放空间和花园作为主要的设计理念，从而创造了一个中央庭院，使之成为一个重要的设计元素。这也使设计是一个内向的，离开花园在背面，但仍然可见，从所有房间的房子。

Text description provided by the architects. The courtyard house is designed with a grid of 7’x7’. The house has been designed in such a way hat all the living spaces and passage face open space and garden, which was also the main design concept since its inception, thus creating a central courtyard which holds the reflection pool making it a major design element. This also makes the design an introvert one, leaving garden at backside but still visible and accessible from all the rooms of house.

这房子有很大的开口和天窗，允许充足的光线进入房子一整天。这也是艾哈迈达巴德气候的一个重要特征。在这里，光是必不可少的，但不是灼热。屏风和深廊保护这些巨大的洞口免受刺眼的阳光照射。在相对凉爽的夜晚和早晨，阳台也成为很棒的户外空间。

This house has big size of openings and skylight to allow ample amount of light to be entered in house throughout the day. It is also a crucial feature in Ahmedabad climate. Here light is essential but not a scorching heat. Screens and deep verandah protect these huge openings from harsh Sun. Verandahs also become wonderful outdoors spaces during relatively cool evenings and mornings.
