About Skewed Villa

Skewed ni villa inayojitegemea iliyoko Surat, India. Nyumba hii inachukua eneo la futi za mraba 11,000 na imepangwa kama mfululizo wa mitazamo iliyounganishwa. Vipengele vimehamishwa kidogo kutoka kwenye mstari ulionyooka, jambo linaloleta mitazamo mbalimbali ndani ya umbo la pande tatu. Muundo huu unaongozwa na urembo rahisi, matumizi finyu ya aina za vifaa, na uhusiano wa karibu na asili. Sakafu za graniti nyeusi, kuta za zege na plasta, pamoja na madirisha na kazi za mbao za ndani zilizotengenezwa kwa mti wa teak, zimetumika katika jengo lote. Bustani iliyopo ghorofa ya kwanza inabebwa na sahani iliyokazwa baada ya kumiminwa (post tensioned slab) na inaunganika na nyumba nzima.

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.
