The Design

About Skewed Villa

Skewed adalah sebuah vila berdiri sendiri yang terletak di Surat, India. Rumah ini meliputi kawasan seluas 11,000 kaki persegi dan direka sebagai satu siri pemandangan yang saling berhubung. Elemen-elemen diselaraskan sedikit di luar garis lurus, yang mewujudkan perspektif yang pelbagai dalam bentuk tiga dimensi. Estetika yang ringkas, palet material yang minimal serta hubungan rapat dengan alam semula jadi menjadi asas rekaan ini. Lantai granit hitam, dinding konkrit dan plaster, serta tingkap dan kerja kayu dalaman daripada kayu jati digunakan di seluruh rumah. Sebuah taman di tingkat pertama disokong oleh papak pratekan pasca dan menghubungkan keseluruhan rumah tersebut.

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.
