Balakrishnan residence is a two-story house laid on an east-west axis to maximize the benefits of passive solar throughout the year. Tall pines that surround the home inspired the vertical exterior siding. Movement through the home is choreographed to views and natural light.

Balakrishnan住宅是一栋两层楼高的住宅，位于东西向，以最大限度地利用全年无源太阳能的好处。环绕房屋的高大松树启发了垂直的外部壁板。穿过家的运动是根据视图和自然光来编排的。

The design creates a central living room within the landscape. With floor to ceiling glass either side, the room may be fully opened to the meadow for inside/outside living. This is analogous to the southern vernacular dog-trot home and allows natural cooling to adjacent rooms.

该设计在景观中创造了一个中央起居室。从地板到天花板的玻璃两边，房间可以完全开放给草地内/外部居住。这类似于南方土生土长的狗的家，并允许自然冷却到相邻的房间。
