项目位于特里凡得琅（Trivandrum）的一个安静的山顶上，位于树林中该特定部分的最高点。客户是一个热爱旅行的人，并计划频繁在全国各地的遥远地区旅行。喜马拉雅山一直吸引着他的注意力，并引起了他的极大兴趣，他很幸运他的住所在同样美丽的山顶上。

Set against one of the silent hilltops of Trivandrum, the site was located at the highest point in that particular part of the woods. The client was somebody who loved to travel and planned frequent escapades to distant lands,all over thecountry. The Himalayashad always caught his attentionand intrigued him the most and he was lucky that his abode too would be just as reclusive, set into the lovely hilltop.

然而，作为一个只有西朝向的场地，人必须举起一只手来保护自己的眼睛不受刺眼的西面太阳的照射，这只“手”被重新想象项目的一堵倾斜的墙，从而产生了将住宅构思为Shikhara(山顶)的概念。

However, being a west facing site one would have to hold up a hand to shield their eyes from the harsh west sun. That ‘hand’ was reimagined as a slanting wall along the site giving birth to the concept of conceiving the residence as - Shikhara( Peak)

墙壁虽然粗糙，它是由从土地本身获取的材料制成的，这是Wallmakers工作室的惯有思路。

The wall, brutal but a shade from the harsh heat and direct sunlight was to be made from the materials procured from the land itself, this being a prerogative of Wallmakers as we exclusively indulge in sustainable building practices.

由于建筑的主要长度沿着西侧作为一个小开口的实墙，缺乏通风也是一个新的问题。在市场上搜寻之后，使用穿孔铝网成为了解决方案，在让光线和空气进入的同时，行程有节奏的起伏节奏，立面折叠起来成为楼梯，也解决了安全问题。

Since the major length of the building ran along the West side as a solid wall with small openings, lack of cross ventilation posed a new problem. After foraging in the market the answer rose in the form of Aluminium coin sheets that were perforated to let in light and air. A rhythmic undulating pattern was worked out on it so that this facade doubled up to become the stair case and answer the security concerns.

在此住宅中的总体体验与在山中相媲美，充满了自然气息，最重要的是可以从安静的视角观看乡村风景。

The overall experience of living in this residence can indeed be compared to that of being in the mountains- Brimming with nature but also formidable, welcoming but reclusive and above all - a quiet viewpoint to view the countryside from.
