架构师提供的文本描述。亲属住宅被设想为两个兄弟及其家庭的住所。不像一个传统的印度联姻家庭，通常跨越三代或更多代，往往有严格的孝顺等级，客户，在这个项目，是同族核心家庭。因此，该设计要求为每个家庭单位和成员建立多个地域和使用重叠的社会空间以及特定的区域。它试图为四位父母共同抚养的十几岁的表兄弟们提供一个环境。

Text description provided by the architects. Kindred House was conceived as the residence for two brothers and their families. Unlike a traditional Indian joint family which usually span three or more generations and tend to have strict filial hierarchies, the clients, in this project, are kindred nuclear families. Therefore, the design called for multiple social spaces of overlapping territori alities and usage along with specific zones for each family unit and member. It sought to house an environment where the teenaged cousins were together fostered by the four parents.

该设计借鉴了两个家庭之间的血缘关系，试图通过发展建筑群体之间的密切和微妙的体积关系，为家庭创造内部和外部的居住空间。三个物质上不同的，立方体体积是支持在一个更大的整体块前面的交错的，悬臂结构系统。通过这个，几乎是“Jenga-lke”，排列的体积似乎漂浮在屋顶上的一个Pergola和入口处的一个水池之间，由共享的空间关系保持在适当的位置。

Taking a cue from the kinship between the two families, the design sought to create internal and external residential spaces for the families by evolving close and nuanced volumetric relationships between built masses. Three materially diverse, cuboidal volumes are supported on an interlaced, cantilevering structural system in front of a larger monolithic block . Through this, almost “jenga-lke”, arrangement the volumes appear to float between a pergola on the roof and a pool of water at the entrance, held in place by shared spatial relationships.

这些空隙，因此，创造，使美化，外部空间深入到生活空间淹没他们的光和新鲜的空气，同时允许进入花园空间的地面和梯田。在物质上，该设计寻求加强不同材料之间的“对话”，并通过模式，纹理和分层建造卷。在质量方面，“浮动”块从入口门廊的框架“空心”立方体发展到穿孔的冥想空间到整体客房块。

The voids , thus created, allow landscaped , external spaces to penetrate deeply into the living spaces flooding them with light and fresh air while allowing access to garden spaces on the ground as well as on terraces. Materially, the design seeks to enhance the “conversation” between diverse materials and built volumes through pattern, texturing and layering. In terms of massing, the “floating” blocks progress from the framed “hollow” cube of the entrance porch to the perforated meditative spaces to the monolithic guestroom block.

木包层客房块的瓷砖图案在冥想空间的河石辉长石中被显示为最小的开窗，并被进一步带到石板层上，这层石板在后面充当整体块的防晒层。这个地点是一排排绘制的房屋之一，朝南，因此暴露在高热量的环境中。积木之间的空隙中的热堆积吸引了温和的微风进入不同楼层的景观区域。

The tiling pattern of the wood-clad guestroom block is evinced as minimal fenestrations in the river stone gabion of the meditative spaces and is carried further onto layer of stone slabs that act as the brise soleil for the monolithic block at the rear. This site, one amongst a row of plotted houses, faces south and therefore is exposed to high thermal gain. Thermal stacking in the voids between the blocks draws a gentle breeze into the landscaped areas on different floors.

在炎热潮湿的几个月里，这些被悬臂广泛遮住的空间在室外是非常宜人的和可到达的。它们进一步流到暴露在温暖的冬季阳光下的太阳梯田上。这些家庭的卧室被堆放在后面的整体块里，北面有大窗户，沿着南面的浴室和梳妆台的位置进一步减轻了它们的热增益。广阔的梯田花园也有助于抵御夏季热量的增加和冬季的热量损失。

These spaces, generously shaded by the cantilevers, are very pleasant and accessible outdoors during the hot and humid months. They flow further onto sun terraces exposed to the warm winter sun. The bedrooms for the families are stacked in the monolithic block at the rear with large windows to the north, their thermal gain further mitigated by location the bathrooms and dressers along the southern face. The extensive terrace gardens also help insulate against the summer heat gain and winter heat loss.
