This cruciform shaped house was evolved to house a family of six. The plot is located at Bopal (Ahmedabad) in a gated community at the end of the internal access road. The house is an expression in Dhrangadhra stone. The stone used in many of the architectural antiquities of Ahmedabad. The stone has a mottled texture and bone coloration, available in blocks; slabs and dust from quarries nearby it became an obvious choice. It ages pretty well too. The cellular structure of this sandstone holds intermittent microscopic air gaps, acting as an insulation panel itself. This led to the idea of cladding the entire body of the house as a monolith. The organization of the plan is like a simple cross.

这座十字形的房子是由六口之家进化而来的。该阴谋位于博帕尔(艾哈迈达巴德)，在一个封闭的社区，在内部通道的尽头。这座房子是Dhrangadhra Stone的一种表达方式。在艾哈迈达巴德的许多建筑古物中使用的石头。这块石头有斑驳的质地和骨头的颜色，可以分块使用；附近采石场的石板和灰尘成了显而易见的选择。它的老化也很好。这种砂岩的胞状结构保持着断断续续的微观气隙，充当绝缘板本身。这导致了这样的想法，那就是把房子的整个身体包覆成一块巨石。这个计划的组织就像一个简单的交叉。

This allows for one room thick arms, hence permitting easy cross ventilation and the possibility of a seamless connection with the outdoors. The stone is used in giant blocks vertically to form a periphery, a border to the gardens to frame the edges, allow breezes, and a sense of containment and scale. This frame allows the home to be immersed in the greens, considered imagery and landscape will form the surrounds of the cross-shaped construct.

这允许一个房间的厚臂，从而允许容易交叉通风和与户外无缝连接的可能性。这种石头被竖直地用在巨大的石块上，形成一个外围，与花园的边缘形成框架，允许微风吹拂，形成一种遏制和规模的感觉。这个框架可以让家沉浸在绿色的环境中，被认为是意象和景观将形成十字形建筑的周围。

Movement From the entry through to the main stair volume at the Centre of the cross, the hallways of the home are so modulated that the sense of sauntering between inside and outside is heightened. Even externally, the body of the house can be surmounted via ascending stairs in solid stone, to discover an elevated garden roof. This home promotes the use of external spaces, all along the edges of the cross layout.

从入口处到交叉中心的主楼梯的移动，家庭的走廊被如此地调整，以至于在内外之间漫步的感觉被提升了。即使是在外部，房子的身体也可以通过固体石的上升楼梯被超越，以发现一个高架花园屋顶。这个家提倡使用外部空间，沿交叉布局的所有边缘。

Searing light In Ahmedabad, we find the light very sharp and harsh at times, comfort can be achieved by a darker wall or floor surfaces to reduce reflected glare.

在艾哈迈达巴德，我们发现火光非常尖锐和刺耳，舒适可以通过一个更暗的墙壁或地板表面，以减少反射眩光。

Ventilation Courtyards facilitating the conventional movement of air will be a major part of the passive climate control in the home, stone fins, rough cuts perpendicular to the building face, cause incident shadows hence cooling the face and creating an ever-changing rhythm of shadows and light. The interiors are embellished with rich woodwork boxes that contain wardrobes and large luxurious ensuite bathrooms, sitting within a volume of ceilings and walls all rendered in lime plaster had applied like stucco.

通风庭院有利于传统的空气流动，将是家庭被动气候控制的主要部分，石鳍、垂直于建筑表面的粗糙切割，造成入射阴影，从而冷却面部，创造出一种不断变化的阴影和光的节奏。室内装饰着丰富的木制品盒，里面有衣柜和豪华的大型套房浴室，坐在一卷天花板和墙壁内，这些天花板和墙壁都是用石灰灰泥涂成的，就像灰泥一样。

Art and objects Chosen from the client’s collection and commissioned from local artists, the cruciform shaped house will abound several bespoke objects and pieces, many of which are designed by SPASM for this project in particular. We searched for a custom fit to the client’s lifestyle, aspirations, and needs. A project in which the architecture is inspired and echoes a contemporary yet sensible and slick way of occupying the site.

这座十字形房子是从客户的收藏品中挑选出来的，由当地艺术家委托建造，里面将有许多定制的物品和作品，其中许多都是为这个项目而设计的。我们寻找适合客户生活方式、愿望和需求的定制服务。一个项目，其中的建筑受到启发，并呼应了当代的，但明智和巧妙的方式占领该网站。

The Gardens Intended as seamless extensions of the living spaces the gardens will over the years mature as view boxes which come alive with the moving sun, breezes animating them and rain imbuing the home with the fresh aroma of the dry earth thirst quenched.

花园作为生活空间的无缝延伸，这些花园将随着岁月的成熟而成熟，成为充满活力的观景盒，微风使它们生机勃勃，雨水使家充满干渴解渴的清新芬芳。

The MONK A long search for an appropriate emotion for the water body, ended in the commissioning of a life-size sculpture of a pensive monk, in Beslana stone gingerly poised on the water’s surface as if levitating.

和尚为水体寻找一种适当的情感，最终在贝斯兰娜的水面上小心翼翼地漂浮着，设计了一尊真人大小的僧侣雕塑，就像漂浮在水面上一样。

The Client His long search for the right architect ended with us, ever since a call every single day without fail followed, clearly we became like a drug, a fix, keeping the daily sense of invention, ideas and fervor going. We, love this depth of involvement, his curious nature in unraveling how each aspect of his ask and beyond was arrived at…

客户一直在寻找合适的建筑师，自从每天都有电话接踵而至以来，我们显然成了一种药物，一种解决办法，每天都保持着对发明、想法和热情的感觉。我们，喜欢这种深度的参与，他好奇的性质，在解开他的要求和超越的每一个方面是如何到达…的。

The plans adopt a strategy of roofed and open-air rooms… The aim was to deliver a home which allows its occupants to live a life in the bosom of nature, sensing the seasons, entertaining their family and friends and juicing the joys of a well-played life… with art, sculpture, objects, contributing to the serenity of the home. The architecture we believe is about summoning beauty and distilling moments of tranquil inner happiness, an awareness of just being and celebrating a single breath when everything is perfect.
