設計師以喀拉拉邦當地建造傳統為靈感，為住宅融入現代性，充分實現並滿足了業主的意願和期待。設計師很快捕捉到這一傳統住宅風格中的獨特之處，比如住宅周身圍裹在游廊之中；居住底層由石材鋪面，搭配拱廊和柱子均加重了這一空間的厚重之感；相較一層，從鋪裝和風格來說二層空間則較為輕盈。綜上特徵，設計師整合了建築正立面的設計靈感。

The design developed from the client』s brief, which was to have a modern house inspired from the family』s roots in Kerala, India. We looked towards traditional palace construction of Kerala for inspiration. We noticed a few key features that most of these structures portrayed, such as – the verandah that wrapped the living spaces all around, the appearance of a heavy masonry base on the ground floor, with thick arches and carved columns and a first floor which appeared to be lighter in terms of materials and overall treatment. This became the inspiration for the front fa?ade of the building.

富有雕塑之感的柱子是喀拉拉邦傳統建築的標誌性元素，設計師沿用了柱子的裝飾效果同時賦予其一定的現代性。設計師將金屬板雕刻成傳統柱式的輪廓並裝飾在柱子上。這一獨特的柱式構成了正立面的主要特徵，並伴隨上層陽台圍繞建築空間排列開來。南立面懸挑在為住宅遮擋陽光的同時，也幫助室內獲得良好的通風效果。

Carved columns, which are a prominent element of traditional Kerala architecture, were adopted but with a contemporary twist. We fashioned them using metal sheet, cut out to match the silhouette of a traditional column and placed as a cross. These columns frame the front of the house and sit on a large continuous overhanging balcony. The overhang in the front not only protects the south fa?ade but also allows for ample cross ventilation.

建築兩側均展現出明顯的磚房特徵。陶土色立面與傳統喀拉拉邦建築如出一轍，與此同時，由輕盈柱子支撐的外向陽台立面又與陶土色外牆形成了鮮明的對比。波動起伏的磚牆形象描繪了帶有芒格洛爾風格的屋頂，其最終效果極具趣味性。該立面採用荷蘭式砌合法，波動的磚牆將立面窗口鑲嵌在內。此外，這一波動的立面還顯現在居住環境內側，營造了戲劇性的空間效果。

The two sides of the building show the strong presence of exposed brick masonry. The earthy terracotta colour makes a direct reference to the materiality of Kerala architecture and stands in sharp contrast to the light metal balconies pushing through in the front and rear. Openings in the masonry are kept minimal in order to accentuate the openness in the front and rear. The undulating brick masonry is a playful interpretation of a Mangalore tiled roof surface – another element seen extensively in Kerala. The masonry swells out to allow for openings and is constructed using the Flemish bond. As the brick gradually corbels outwards, its negative imprint is seen on the inner side – almost as an acknowledgement of the drama outside!

住宅平面規劃極其精簡。開放空間，公共和半私密空間以及客房均在底層平面組織。較為私密的空間如主人卧室，兒童卧室均布置在二層平面。住宅正立面朝向一條安靜的街道，背靠花園。外向的正立面結構令居住空間獲得良好的觀景效果。位於樓梯間頂部中心的天窗，幫助維持居住環境里的空氣環流。

The planning has been kept simple. The open and continuous public and semi public spaces are on the ground floor along with the guest bedrooms. Individual private spaces for the couple and their children, along with a separate family area are on the first floor. The main exercise of designing the plan as an outward looking structure was to take full advantage of views. The front opens up to a quiet street and the rear to a park. A centrally located skylight over the staircase allows a mild draft of air by ventilating it at the upper level aiding the movement of air.

居住空間的室內裝飾也體現了對傳統喀拉拉邦住宅的回應。柚木與藤編屏風無不渲染著懷舊復古之情。空間中連續的花崗岩地板進一步強調了開放的空間布局。住宅通過屋頂太陽能電板對居住生活進行能源供給。

The use of materials for the interiors was also inspired by those seen in a traditional Kerala home. The combination of cane screens with teak wood is an attempt to add that element of nostalgia to an otherwise minimal interior. The continuous, almost monolithic granite floor helps further accentuate the open ground floor plan. The house is powered by solar panels placed on the roof of the structure.
