About Skewed Vila

Skewed je samostatne stojaca vila nachádzajúca sa v meste Surat v Indii. Dom má rozlohu 11 000 štvorcových stôp a je navrhnutý ako séria vzájomne prepojených výhľadov. Prvky sú mierne posunuté mimo priamej línie, čo vytvára rôznorodé perspektívy v rámci trojrozmernej formy. Návrh sa riadi jednoduchou estetikou, minimalistickou paletou materiálov a úzkym prepojením s prírodou. Použitá je čierna žulová dlažba, steny z betónu a omietky, ako aj tíkové okná a interiérové drevené prvky. Záhrada na prvom poschodí je nesená predpätou doskou a prepája sa s celým domom.

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.

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.
