在新德里，不断上涨的土地价格迫使私有财产所有者在允许的范围内建造房屋。街道景观-平衡城市私人住宅和公共街道之间的规模-正在迅速减少。住宅区被砖石盒子包围，缺乏公共和私人领域之间的界面。这个项目渴望积极创造一个动态的，视觉渗透的街道边缘。

In the city of New Delhi, the rising price of land compels owners of private property to build to the maximum permissible envelope of the site. The streetscape - balancing the scale between private residential buildings and public streets in the city - is rapidly diminishing. Residential areas are overrun by masonry boxes, devoid of interface between the public and private realm. This project aspires to actively create a dynamic, visually permeable street edge.

防卫殖民地住宅的材料和构造词汇来源于15世纪伊斯兰中世纪建筑中的墓穴和宫殿，是德里风景的支柱。该住宅由承重砖墙建造，设计以抵御第4区地震地点的紧急情况，通过坚持一种主要材料-成型的红砖-创造了其建筑和城市特性的感觉。

The Defence Colony residence derives its material and tectonic vocabulary from tombs and palaces - fragments of 15th century Islamic medieval architecture - that anchor the landscape of Delhi. Built with load-bearing masonry walls, and designed to withstand the exigencies of a Zone 4 seismic location, the residence creates its sense of architectural and urban identity by adhering to one primary material - moulded red brick.

砖块的质量既表现在墙壁的厚度上，也体现在表面的清晰度上，使房屋保持温度温和，并赋予它丰富的土色调。然而，与此同时，砖头变成了遮阳建筑物西面的屏风上的面纱。所有由柚木部分制成的门窗都是用现场的原木手工制作的。

The mass of the bricks is expressed both in the thickness of the walls, as well as in the surface articulation, keeping the house thermally temperate, and endowing it with a rich earthen hue. Simultaneously however, the brick transforms into a veil in the screens that shade the west facade of the building. All doors and windows, made from Teak timber sections, are hand fabricated from logs of on the site.

抛光的大理石地板反射内部的光线，为砖墙提供了一个明亮的对位。这座建筑利用动能，可以瞥见街道和里面的活动，这只是一座手工制作的现代住宅，旨在恢复居民与其基本物质环境的关系。

Polished marble floors reflect the light within, offering a luminous counterpoint to the masonry walls. The architecture engages in a play of kinetic energy, allowing glimpses of the street as well as the activities within. This is simply a hand-crafted, modern house, seeking to restore the relationship of inhabitants to their fundamental material context.
