The Veranda House / Studio Espaazo

由专筑网Yinglin，小R编译

该项目是一座位于印度艾哈迈达巴德市郊的周末住宅，周围环绕着浓密的绿植。在这块土地上，一个零售盆景精品店占据了三分之二的空间，而“Veranda住宅”则占据了剩余的三分之一。在印度家庭传统中，阳台是一个需要被高度利用的空间。对此，客户的要求是重新构想和诠释印度传统的“阳台”概念。他们的愿景是每个区域都与周围景观建立深刻联系，同时不使用传统的梁柱，保持结构完整和视觉统一。设计概念的开发旨在将建筑环境与自然环境紧密结合，确保每一棵现有树木都得到保护。

The Veranda House is a weekend home situated on the outskirts of Ahmedabad city, enveloped by a lush tapestry of dense foliage. Within the plot, a retail Bonsai Boutique occupies two-thirds of the space, while ‘The Veranda House’ graces the back, occupying a generous one-third of the space. The client's directive was to distinctly re-imagine and re-interpret the conventional notion of a 'veranda,' a highly utilized and cherished space in Indian households. Their vision encompassed a residence where each area established a profound connection with the landscapes. The client had specified their preference for the absence of traditional beams while maintaining structural integrity and visual cohesiveness. The design concept was developed with the intention of intricately inter-twining the built environment with the natural surroundings. A steadfast commitment to environmental preservation guided the construction process, ensuring the protection and conservation of every existing tree within the premises.









建筑结构的灵感源自自然中不规则形态——每个元素都具有自身的独特之处，尽管它们并不完美，但将其置于整体结构之中时，设计元素与整体形式有机和谐，这恰恰是在对其不完美特性的接纳下，拥抱着自然循环中的丰富变化。进入Veranda住宅时，人们会看到背景中开放的立面景象，通过一堵低矮的墙微妙地展现出来，描绘了一幅艺术化的鸟类存在的故事。鸟儿似乎在低矮的绿色传统门中鸣叫并优雅地飞入，象征着它们对阳台的造访。

The form of the structure was achieved by drawing inspiration from the irregular formations found in nature wherein each element possesses its own inherent imperfections. The design elements used, created harmony with the organic nature of the overall form, further accentuating its imperfections and embracing the variability observed in the natural cycles. Upon entering the Veranda House, the visitor is greeted by a captivating view of the open facade in the background, subtly revealed through a low-height wall, portraying an artistic tale of avian presence. Birds seem to be chirping and gracefully flying in through the traditional still green door, symbolizing their visit to the veranda.



这座单层建筑占地面积为4500平方英尺。环绕四周，建筑的每个角落都有其独特之处，这能引导大家编织出自己的旅程。设计方案融入了多种元素，从而使得室内外建立起密切的关系——窗户打开便是郁郁葱葱的庭院，门外是密林景观，雕塑和水景，它们与绿植交相辉映。地板上精美的树叶和鸟类镶嵌，讲述着自然循环的故事。鸡蛋花树在板上的影子游戏，营造出在树荫下的感觉。此外，室外区域通过池中的倒影与室内空间建立了引人注目的联系，营造出室内外相互融合的感觉。每个房间都经过精心设计，引导人们关注迷人的景观，增加了整体空间体验的维度。

The house is a single-level structure spanning an area of 4500 square feet. As one moves along the house, each corner presents a unique character and guides individuals through a journey they can weave on their own. The design incorporates various elements to establish a strong connection between the interior and exterior- the windows open up to lush green courtyards and the doors reveal dense landscapes with sculptures and water features interacting with the greenery. The flooring showcases intricate leaf and bird inlays, narrating a story of the natural cycle. The play of shadows of the frangipani tree on the slabs creates a sense of being beneath the foliage. Additionally, the outdoor areas establish a compelling link with the indoor spaces through the reflection of the structure in the pool, creating the sense of bringing the outdoors inside and the indoors outside. Each room has been deliberately designed to direct one's attention toward the enticing landscapes, adding another dimension to the overall spatial experience.



结构设计展示了蘑菇形柱和矩形柱的和谐融合，这些柱子被巧妙地安排在不同位置，象征着自然环境中的有机层次。Veranda住宅的设计融入了悬浮基座的元素，这一设计策略创造了建筑悬浮于地面的幻觉，增强了整体美学效果。此外，在基座层实施了4英尺的悬臂，在板层实施了10英尺的悬臂，消除了传统梁的需要，同时保持了结构稳定性。这种悬浮基座与悬臂的结合，形成了无缝的建筑构图。

The structural design showcases a harmonious blend of mushroom-shaped columns and rectangular columns, strategically positioned in diverse arrangements, symbolizing the organic layers found in the natural environment. The design of the Veranda House incorporates a floating plinth in the structure. This design element creates the illusion of the structure being suspended above the ground, enhancing the overall aesthetic appeal. Additionally, cantilevers of 4ft at the plinth level and 10ft at the slab level were strategically implemented, eliminating the need for conventional beams while keeping the structural stability intact. This combination of a floating plinth and cantilevers resulted in a seamless architectural composition.





裸露的混凝土应用于结构之中，而石灰抹灰饰面则构成一种质朴而简洁的美感。印度当地的黑色天然卡达帕石地板成为了显著的视觉元素，其自然的色调变化和渐变形成了引人入胜的图案，在开放空间中提供了细微的移动指引。房间没有用实墙封闭，而是使用了玻璃作为垂直元素，让空间最大程度与周围自然环境的连接。房子包括两个独立的部分，一个是私人空间，另一个是半私人区域。打开玻璃门后，室内空间无缝过渡为类似阳台的延伸，完美融合了室内和室外空间。屋顶优雅地升至12英尺高，并在坚固的混凝土板上覆盖了一层精细完成的隔热瓦。

Exposed concrete has been utilized for the structure, while lime plaster finishes have been carefully selected to maintain an earthy and sleek aesthetic. The black natural Kadappa stone flooring, locally found in India, serves as a prominent visual element and acts as a backdrop for the other components within the space. Its natural tonal variations and gradients form captivating patterns, providing subtle guidance for movement in the open space. Rather than enclosing the rooms with solid walls, glass has been employed as a vertical element to maximize the connection with the surrounding natural environment. The house comprises two distinct blocks, one for private spaces and another for semi-private areas. By opening the glass doors, a seamless transition occurs, transforming the interior into a veranda-like extension, seamlessly merging the indoor and outdoor spaces. The roof gracefully soars to a height of 12 feet, finished with a layer of meticulously finished insulated tiles atop a resilient concrete slab.





卧室的石灰抹灰饰面呈现出微妙的土色调，而整体室内设计的色彩则受自然启发。客厅、餐厅和厨房区域与卧室在色调上相呼应，并在整个空间中使用了藤条和木材等自然材料。室内的壁画展示了印度各种鸟类在一天中的不同时间飞入屋内，体现了在阳台上与自然融为一体的感觉。所有元素、装饰品和灯具都经过精心设计，以尊重Veranda住宅的有机形式，传达意外之美和庆祝不规则的美感。

The bedroom features lime plaster finishes in subtle earthy tones, while the overall interior design has a palette inspired by nature. The living, dining, and kitchen areas harmonize with the bedroom through similar tones, and natural materials such as cane and wood, have been used throughout the space.  In the interior, the inclusion of murals narrates an interesting expression of Indian species of birds flying into the house through different timings of the day, embodying the essence of being on a veranda and immersing oneself in nature's lap. The elements, accent pieces, and fixtures were designed with great consideration given to honoring the organic form of the Veranda House and conveying the notion of serendipitous shapes and celebrating the beauty of irregularity.
