本砖房住宅位于印度南部的班加罗尔市市郊的一个主要科技园区内。这里曾是一片开放式的农田， 15年前，逐渐转变为如今的社区。而本项目的设计任务是为一个年轻的五口之家在这个人口密集、缺乏系统规划的社区内创造一个安静的休憩场所。

Located in a major tech suburb of Bangalore, that until 15 years ago was open farmland, this project strives to create a quiet retreat for a young family of five in an otherwise densely populated and unplanned community.

本项目建立在一个已有小砖房的地基上，以现有的建筑色调和倾斜的底座为基础，创造出一种具有个人特色的、相互连通的开放式空间，并挑战了承重砖墙结构体系的传统标准。

Constructed on the foundation of a small brick house that the family had outgrown, the new design builds off of the existing palette and angled plinth to create a personal narrative of open and interconnected spaces that challenge the standard assumptions of load-bearing brick construction.

本项目采用富有自然变化的手工砖，彰显出材料的不完美性和铺设方式。通过引入多孔的jaali隔墙，同时利用部分砖墙投射出的光影效果，传统的建造手法与现代几何形式之间的矛盾得以缓解。
