The Mango House is the physical manifestation of a quest to connect with the natural environment. The essence of design here is simplicity in thought and expression through the form, material and décor of the structure. The organic nature of construction successfully connects the outside with the inside and thus manages to convey an earthy feel through its free-flowing plan. This Indian brick house is a blend of various elements - building materials that are ‘azonic’, lending simplicity to the design.

芒果屋是寻求与自然环境联系的物质表现。这里设计的本质是通过结构的形式、材料和装饰，在思想和表达上的简单性。建筑的有机本质成功地将外部与内部连接起来，从而通过其自由流动的计划来传达一种泥土的感觉。这座印度砖房是多种元素的混合体。

Since mango trees dominated the plot, the house clearly gets its definition from them to ensure that the basic value of being organic or adopting green culture was exercised. These 70-80 year old inhabitants of the plot became the deciding and guiding factors for the design and concept for the house.

由于芒果树占了地块的主导地位，房子显然从它们那里得到了定义，以确保有机或采用绿色文化的基本价值得以行使。这些70-80岁的居住者成为住宅设计和概念的决定和指导因素。

The mango trees in the north, south and east directions demarcated the boundary of the house. The aim was to be able to view the surrounding landscape from any point within the abode – along the north-south as well as the east-west axes. This led to an entrance on all four sides for an uninterrupted view of the verdant softscape outside.

北、南、东方向的芒果树划定了房子的边界。其目的是能够从住所内的任何地方-南北以及东西轴-看到周围的景观。这使得四面八方都有了一个入口，可以不间断地看到外面青翠的软景。

There were some certainties that were a given – the entrance to the north; as there was space for a driveway, and the kitchen to the east; to catch the early morning sun.

有一些确定的东西-北方的入口，有车道的空间，东边的厨房，以捕捉清晨的阳光。

There was a need for a balance between the open and covered spaces. With the restrictions imposed by the trees on the construction, the only solution was to go a level up but stay true to the village like feel. The house reflects a free flowing and uninterrupted connect with its surroundings without losing the proportion in design.

需要在开放空间和有盖空间之间取得平衡。随着树木对建筑的限制，唯一的解决办法是爬上一个台阶，但要像感觉一样忠于村庄。房子反映了一个自由流动，不间断地与其周围的连接，而不失去在设计中的比例。

Creating volume was an important aspect of the structure and with the sloping roof one gets about 35 feet at the highest point. This is emphatically accentuated at the suspended staircase as it sweeps up to the first floor. A skylight here and another over the dining area allow light to filter in and underscore the feeling of vastness. This vastness of space and its uninterrupted connect with the surroundings is the highlight of the house.

创造体积是结构的一个重要方面，倾斜的屋顶在最高点大约有35英尺。这是着重强调在悬挂楼梯，因为它扫到第一层。这里的天窗和餐区上的另一个天窗让光线进入，突出了巨大的感觉。这广阔的空间和它与周围环境的不间断连接是房子的亮点。

Alluding to the vernacular, a rich sense of culture and tradition is ever present – The Mango House helps the city-dwelling family to connect with nature by being organic in both spirit and content.

“芒果屋”在精神和内容上都是有机的，从而帮助城市居住的家庭与自然联系在一起，这是一种蕴含着乡土风情的丰富的文化和传统感。
