The Design

About Skewed Vila

Skewed adalah sebuah vila berdiri sendiri yang berlokasi di Surat, India. Rumah ini memiliki luas 11.000 kaki persegi dan dirancang sebagai rangkaian panorama yang saling terhubung. Elemen-elemennya digeser sedikit dari garis lurus, sehingga menciptakan beragam perspektif di dalam bentuk tiga dimensinya. Estetika yang sederhana, palet material yang minimal, serta keterhubungan yang erat dengan alam menjadi pedoman perancangannya. Lantai granit hitam, dinding beton dan plester, serta jendela kayu jati dan pekerjaan kayu interior digunakan di seluruh bagian rumah. Taman di lantai satu ditopang oleh pelat beton pratekan (post-tensioned) dan terhubung dengan keseluruhan rumah.

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.
