印度邦加羅爾 光之屋
Belaku, which means "House of Light", is a residential project on the outskirts of Bengaluru. A 2BHK tenant house and a duplex home were requested by our client. The home needed to be well-lit and to have natural light throughout. Both the project's cost and Vaastu Shastra compliance must be acceptable.
We began by planning to let in a lot of light by cutting wide openings on the north and east sides. We have a finite amount of "Stack Effect" ventilation openings. We have made the project future-proof by giving 4 feet wide room for lighting and ventilation on the entire north face of the building, keeping in mind the potential neighbouring residents on the constrained urban plot. The main door should be on the NE corner, the Master Bedroom on the SW, and the kitchen on the SE, according to traditional Indian "Vaastu Shastra." The main room in the house, the Brahmasthan Living and Dining, has double height. The double-height space connects to a landscape garden, with the balcony garden's security envelope extended outside so that curtain creepers can cover it.
Belaku，意即「光之屋」，是印度班加羅爾郊區的一個住宅項目。客戶要求住宅必須包含一套兩房一廳一廚房的出租房型，且室內光線要充足，並始終保持自然採光湧入。重要的是，設計團隊必須掌控建造成本，以及整體規劃要合乎 Vaastu Shastra（一種傳統的印度建築系統）。
首先，設計團隊計畫在建築的北側與東側創造寬闊開口，讓光線大量進入室內；其次，整個建築北面提供四英尺寬的照明和通風空間。另外，根據傳統的印度建築系統（Vaastu Shastra）所示，主入口應該配置在東北（NE）角，主臥室在西南（SW）角，廚房則在東南（SE）角。兩房一廳一廚房的出租臥室有著雙倍挑高，可連接到景觀花園，而花園的圍欄結構延伸到戶外，以便攀爬植物滿布。連接私人花園的西南角主臥室是我們客戶的住所。
The flooring was maintained dark with black leather, polished black stone, and a splash of yellow granite to reflect the natural light. Family area flows over the dining area, fostering a sense of unity within the family and tying together the client's sons' two bedrooms. Brick Screen wall completely encloses the north and east of the bedroom to provide privacy.
室內地板採用黑色亮面石材和黃色花崗岩來營造沉穩色調，同時良好反射自然光。此外，穿過一樓用餐區，可上達到二樓的家庭區（Family area），並將兩間小孩房聯繫在一起，維繫家庭內部的團結感，而磚牆可將臥室的北面和東面完全包覆、圍塑，提供居者隱私。
