Cabin house, Karnataka, India

印度卡纳塔卡邦 小屋

Catapulted from an inclination to retreat from urban realities, The Cabin House swiftly transforms the pre-pandemic notion of our dwellings. Embracing a quiet reflection of modern lifestyle and vernacular nuances, the design for the 349sq m.(3800 sqft) plot has been developed from a simple brief of experiencing nature at close quarters.

 

「小屋」的誕生源於人們對於遠離城市現實的嚮往,它迅速改變了人們對居住的觀念。在 349 平方公尺(3800 平方英尺)的土地上,設計以近距離體驗自然為出發點,寧靜地反映現代生活方式和當地的細微差別。

Nestled in the lush greenery of South Bangalore, resides the one-bedroom weekend home for a family of three. One is immediately greeted by the large foliage of the jackfruit and mango trees, where the rectangular dwelling sits along the East-West axis.  The ground floor punctuates the rigid walls on the longer side to encompass 5m (18ft) pivoted doors on either side to blur the boundaries between the landscape and the residence.

 

在班加羅爾南部鬱鬱蔥蔥的樹叢中,坐落著一家三口所居住的一室一廳週末度假小屋。首先映入眼簾的是大片的柚子和芒果樹,長方形的建築坐落在東西軸線上,底層較長一側的硬質牆體兩側安有5公尺(18英尺)的旋轉門,模糊景觀與住宅之間的界限。

The architecture of The Cabin House draws inspiration from simple forms and native bearings. The interior of the rectangular volume is broken effortlessly into a double-height living, dining and kitchen with a mezzanine floor on one end to accommodate the master bedroom. Earthy tones throughout the dwelling evoke the setting sun, whilst the starkness of the cement and warm tones of the furniture offer the required depth. Below the mezzanine is the washroom that features a cast in-situ island-concrete basin overlooking the landscape and a full-sized walk-in closet.

 

「小屋」的建築靈感來自於簡單的形式和原生的軸承。長方形的內部空間被毫不費力地分割成雙層高的起居室、餐廳和廚房,一端的夾層則是主臥室。整個住宅以大地色系為主色調,讓人聯想到夕陽西下的景緻,而水泥的堅硬和家具的暖色調映襯,提供了此案所需的深度。夾層下方是盥洗室,內部有一個現澆島式混凝土面盆,可以俯瞰景觀,此外,還有一個完整的步入式衣帽間。

Influenced by the surrounding old-Bangalore homes, design elements that date back to vernacular homes are fused with the residence’s minimal design language – where spaces became opportunities for conversations. On a similar note, the main staircase of the house leading to the mezzanine serves a dual purpose – facilitates movement and lends opportunities for informal seating nooks like a katte to add elements of playfulness.

 

受周圍班加羅爾老房子的影響,設計元素可以追溯到當地的住宅,並與住宅的極簡設計語彙相融合—使空間相互對話的機會。同樣,住宅通往夾層的主樓梯也具有雙重作用,既能方便活動,又能提供非正式的座位,如Katte,增添了俏皮的元素。

Guided by a cabin house's compactness and verdant nature, varied design elements are interwoven with a contemporary approach. An extended section from the main staircase-landing morphs into a built-in seating that wraps around the entire length of the dining space. The hierarchy of spaces sensitively addresses privacy through variations in levels and soft barriers of the landscape. For instance, a horizontal opening in the washroom allows the user to constantly have nature on the horizon, while offering the required privacy through its placement. Liberal volume shifts in the interiors from 5m ceilings in the living and dining, dynamically contrasts the 3m ceiling in the master-bedroom with a bay window niche overlooking the foliage of trees.

 

在「小屋」的緊湊性和蔥郁的自然環境的引導下,各種設計元素與現代手法交織在一起。主樓梯的延伸部分變成了環繞整個用餐空間的內置座椅,空間的層次結構通過層層變化和景觀的軟屏障,巧妙地解決了隱私問題。例如,盥洗室中的水平開口使使用者能夠不間斷地欣賞大自然美景,同時通過其位置提供所需的隱私性。而客廳和餐廳5公尺高的天花板與主臥室3公尺高的天花板形成鮮明對比。

The landscape around is sculpted to imbibe nature into the dwelling; it also features a large gazebo that keeps in mind the client’s requirement to conduct small gatherings. The remarkable combination of neutrals breaks even with lustrous-terracotta that weaves throughout the entire dwelling. The cynosure of the design – highlighted in terracotta red color – is the archway that melds into the main staircase and further extends out to a seater.

 

周圍的景觀經過精雕細琢,將大自然的氣息融入到住宅中;它還設有一個大型涼亭,以滿足客戶舉行小型聚會的需求。中性色彩的組合與光澤的赤陶色相得益彰,貫穿整個住宅。設計的核心是以赤土紅為亮點,與主樓梯融為一體的拱門,進一步延伸至座位。

 

Solidness of the large concrete roof is rendered lightweight through the introduction of wooden louvres and glass panes, allowing natural light to filter into the interiors. Inferring the katte design, the window sill on the exterior is lowered to invite people to sit by the window and enjoy the view of the large garden in front. While the exteriors exude boldness in form and function, the overall structure is perceived to be grounded in nature, with very little distinction between the boundaries of the two.

 

通過木百葉和玻璃板,沈穩的大面積混凝土屋頂顯得輕盈許多,玻璃窗也使自然光得以進入室內。為了體現Katte設計風格,建物外部的窗台被降低,人們可以坐在窗邊欣賞前面大花園的景色。雖然外部設計在形式和功能上都很大膽,但整體結構卻讓人感覺很自然,兩者之間的界限並不明顯。

Harnessed by a desire to live amidst nature, The Cabin House redefines spaces of dialogue and a dwelling place. While being dictated by the existing order of things – the two trees – the placement of the dwelling consciously strives to blur the lines between nature and the built.

 

出於對生活在大自然中的渴望,「小屋」重新定義了對話空間和居所。在現有秩序的支配下,兩棵樹與住宅的佈置有意識地模糊了自然環境與建築之間的界限。
