The Design

About Skewed Vila

Skewed se yon vila endepandan ki chita nan Surat, End. Kay la kouvri 11,000 pye kare e li fèt kòm yon seri pèspektiv ki entèkonekte. Eleman yo dekale yon ti kras sou liy dwat la, sa ki kreye divès pèspektiv nan fòm tridimansyonèl la. Estetik senp, yon palèt materyèl minimal ak koneksyon sere ak lanati gide konsepsyon an. Yo itilize planche an granit nwa, mi an beton ak andui, ak fenèt ak bwazri enteryè an tèk toupatou. Yon jaden sou premye etaj la sipòte pa yon dal pre-kontrent e li konekte ak kay la nan antye.

Unique Properties: Simple aesthetics, a minimal material palette and connections to nature are the main drivers of the design of the Skewed House,the architect’s debut through his firm Studio Lagom. The standalone 11,000-square-foot villa seeks to create an oasis of serenity in Surat’s typical urban milieu through a programme that departs from typical planning of this typology.

Production Technology: Materials
Flooring: Black Granite
Walls: Concrete and plaster
Slatted compound wall: Valsadi teak
Windows and interior woodwork: Burma teak and Valsadi teak
Design Challenge: Taking the complete garden on the first floor which connects with entire house was the major challenge. But the research was carried accordingly and it was overcomed by proving a post tensioned slab.
Inspiration: The architect’s deep interest in photography helped him visualize this project as a series of interconnected vistas, and was also responsible for the ‘skewedness’ of Skewed House. Manifested subtly as elements shifted slightly off the straight line, this was an exercise in creating vistas and perspectives, and adding more life to a three-dimensional object.
Project Duration: The project started in April 2011 in Surat and finished in August 2017 in Surat.
Operation Flow: The standalone villa seeks to create an oasis of serenity in typical urban milieu of Surat through a programme that departs from typical planning of this typology.
The connection of inside space with nature, with simple aesthetics are the driving priciples.
