每个人都需要一个独特的地方来躲避喧嚣，在宁静的氛围中自由地放松心情。Vibes就是这样一个精心设计的住所，它令居住者能够与周围的土地建立更加紧密的联系。

Everyone needs that one special place to relax, to let go of the din and bustle and gently sway in serenity. Vibes is one such carefully crafted and curated abode that takes you away from the commotions of the busy realm outside and lets you connect more with the earth around you and be reminiscent of your true roots.

The proposed site for the residence was part of the clients’ parents’ home and was used as a vegetable garden. The site has a south facing entry from a 3m wide road which further narrows down. To the west is an unoccupied land and enveloping the other edges are residential buildings composing the immediate neighbourhood.

On entering the site, beyond the security cabin, the house reveals before you. The exterior façade of the house is primarily composed of walls featuring exposed laterite stone, cement textures and tandoor stone paving, bespoke vernacular and traditional values. There is another bamboo wall along the courtyard offering ample privacy as well as little view to the outside from inside.

The entry through the sit out offers a smooth transition from the outside to the interiors. The warm intimate entry opens up into the verandah which becomes an open living space with a waterbody on the south and garden on the east. The use of leather finish black granite stone for flooring and a ratan swing in a tropical courtyard backdrop creates an essential threshold space.
