About Skewed Villa

Skewed dia villa mitokana miorina any Surat, Indianina. Ny trano dia mandrakotra 11 000 lakan-tany toradroa ary novolavolaina ho andiana fahitana mifandray. Nafindra kely tsy amin'ny tsipika mahitsy ny singa, ka mamorona fomba fijery isan-karazany ao anatin'ny endrika telo-dimansiona. Ny haitao tsotra, ny fisafidianana fitaovana somary vitsy, ary ny fifandraisana akaiky amin'ny natiora no mitarika ny famolavolana. Ampiasaina manerana ny trano ny gorodona vato mainty (black granite), ny rindrina simenitra sy lalotra, ary ny varavarankely sy asa hazo anaty trano vita amin'ny hazo teak. Ny zaridaina eo amin'ny rihana voalohany dia tantanan'ny takelaka simenitra nofehezina (post tensioned slab), ary mifandray amin'ny trano manontolo.

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

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.
