Ashford House / The Purple Ink Studio

由专筑网小R编译

Ashford住宅位于印度班加罗尔中部，项目场地面积约为12800平方英尺，6个家庭可以居住于此，享受幸福的生活，同时也拥有彼此的私人空间，现有的古老建筑可以通过全新的形式从而焕发活力，这就形成了建筑材质面板的动力因素，这种因素连接着现有的景观，建筑南北朝向，每层规划有两个单元，为了减少阳光的直射，南侧设计有内凹的露台，并且私人的区域设置有垂直面板，建筑师仔细构思了玻璃的位置，从而更好地控制开放性而保证隐私性，在这里，建筑立面元素是一种象征特征，表达了过去的记忆，这些面板同时也起到了遮挡视线的作用，并且凸出了由阳光而形成的图案。

Located on an ancestral property of 12,800 sqft in central Bangalore (India), Ashford House is built for the new generation where 6 families could reside, enjoying the best of collective living while having their own private spaces. The antiquity of the existing structure had to find a new life with the new built form. This became the motivating factor for building the material palette and connecting with the existing landscape. The building is oriented in a north-south direction with 2 units planned per level. To cut down on the sun, the southern side was planned with recessed decks and vertical fins for the private areas. Openness and privacy are controlled through careful consideration of glazing positions. Jaali/Mashrabiyas were used as a symbolic gesture reflecting the memories of the past, which existed back then. These screens also act as visual barriers and bring in patterns highlighted by the sunlight.









立面的北侧规划有翅片，用于引入北侧的光照，在建筑内部，结构结合着多孔砖石以及当地的花岗岩与砂岩，它们具有隔热的特征，建筑的砖石构件通过手工制作而成，带有弯曲边缘的翅片也由砖石建造，不同的尺寸都需要经过精准的测量和切割，建筑立面很好地表达了构图中的肌理与色彩变化，材料面板在美学上形成呼应，致敬着过去的时代。

The northern side of the façade is planned with fins planned strategically to get in the northern light. Internally, the structure is built in Porotherm hollow clay blocks which have thermal insulation properties along with Local Indian Granites & Sandstones. The entire built form, especially the brick components is highly handcrafted, where the vertical fins with their curved edges are constructed using bricks where every size had to be measured and cut. The façade expresses the variations in texture and color inherent within its composition.  This material palette was selected to complement each other aesthetically and also as an ode to the bygone era.









建筑的主要入口位于南侧，其两侧种植有植物，这些树木有着古老的根源，拱形大门也对其进行呼应，拱门的抛物线形态的目的是强调体块之间的联系，其与逐渐变化的底座之间的相互作用也更加强调了其中的联系，拱门是入口的雨棚，下方是基座，其支撑部分两端逐渐变细，这对于施工而言是个很大的挑战，因此施工方先在工厂制作了模板，然后在现场进行组装。

The southern side formed the main entrance to the building which was flanked by 2 existing trees. The trees held ancestral roots and the arched portal responded to them. The parabolic form of the arch was planned to reinforce the connection of volumes. The relationship is further enhanced by the interaction it performs with the tapering base of the arch. The parabolic arch, planned as an entrance canopy rested on pedestals on either side supporting the tapering end of the arch with the entire construction process was challenging with respect to the site conditions. The construction methodology of the parabolic arch was planned with the skeleton first being readied in a local factory and assembled on-site.



在此之后是两层砖，中间有着75mm的混凝土，其中钢筋很少，周围有两棵现有的大树，项目的装配由当地工人在现场花了两个多月而完成，这座建筑从施工到运作都如同一个巨大的环境过滤器，在保持当地特点的前提下，强调了印度班加罗尔地区气候的核心部分，其细部设计良好，该项目让人拥抱着全新的生活方式，同时在其中体验建筑的精髓。

Post this, there were 2 Layers of Bricks, with a 75mm thick concrete sandwiched between them with minimum reinforcement, while sensitively working around 2 large existing trees on both ends. The entire assembly was done with local labor from the site and the process took a little more than 2 months to complete. The building, with all its workings, functions as a selective environmental filter, enhancing the best components of the regional climate of Bangalore while keeping the idea of the local, crafted details intact. Embracing the new lifestyle while preserving the roots that have been cherished by the family ‘The Ashford House’ is planned as a Spiritual epiphany for the soul.
