印度首座膠合木住宅：可持續建築的新典範

Architecture Discipline ，印度領先的建築設計事務所，在果阿完成了全國首座使用膠合木（Glulam）建造的海景住宅，這一創新項目代表了可持續建築設計在印度的重大突破。這座住宅不僅是一項建築技術的試驗，更是一個引領環保建築發展方向的標誌性案例。

Architecture Discipline, India's leading architectural design practice, has completed the country's first sea-view residence made of Glulam in Goa. This innovative project represents a major breakthrough in sustainable building design in India. This house is not only an experiment in construction technology, but also an iconic case that leads the development direction of environmentally friendly architecture.

可持續理念引領創新設計

該住宅由 Architecture Discipline 首席建築師 阿克沙特·巴特（Akshat Bhatt） 領銜設計，專為一位追求可持續生活方式的企業家打造。建築框架採用膠合木，這是一種高強度且環保的建築材料，由經過精密預製的11個膠合木框架組成，這些框架在新德里生產後運至果阿現場進行組裝。膠合木的使用不僅減少了碳排放，還展現了建築行業如何通過技術創新實現對環境的最小化影響。

Sustainable concepts lead innovative design

Designed by Akshat Bhatt, principal architect at Architecture Discipline, the residence was designed for an entrepreneur pursuing a sustainable lifestyle. The building frame is made of glulam, a high-strength and environmentally friendly building material, and consists of 11 precision-prefabricated glulam frames that were produced in New Delhi and shipped to Goa for on-site assembly. The use of glulam not only reduces carbon emissions, but also demonstrates how the construction industry can minimize its impact on the environment through technological innovation.

巴特表示，這座住宅的設計是對傳統建築材料的一次大膽挑戰，他選擇以低碳足跡的材料來實現設計，展示了膠合木在現代建築中的巨大潛力。他補充說：「在當今的建築環境中，選擇可持續的材料和技術已不僅僅是設計理念，而是我們的責任。」

Butt said the design of the house was a bold challenge to traditional building materials, and he chose to realize the design with materials with a low carbon footprint, demonstrating the huge potential of glulam in modern construction. He added: "In today's built environment, choosing sustainable materials and technologies is not just a design idea, it is our responsibility."

Harmonious symbiosis between structural design and nature

Located on Goa’s beautiful tropical coastline, the residence is elevated to reduce impact on the terrain. The building structure is supported by pile foundations and concrete retaining walls, high enough to avoid the effects of moisture and capillary action, and to protect the local ecology. This design not only improves the stability of the building, but also embodies the concept of harmonious coexistence with nature.

結構設計與自然的和諧共生

該住宅位於果阿美麗的熱帶海岸線，採用高架設計以減少對地形的影響。建築結構由樁基和混凝土擋土牆支撐，高度足以避免潮濕和毛細作用的影響，並保護了當地的生態環境。這種設計不僅提升了建築的穩定性，還體現了與自然和諧共處的理念。

住宅總建築面積達 8,650平方英尺 ，外牆覆蓋經傳統日本燒杉技術（Yakisugi）處理的炭化木板。這種材料具有極高的耐用性，並能有效抵禦熱帶氣候中的高濕度和高溫條件，是果阿地區建築材料的理想選擇。

此外，住宅還配備了一個戶外泳池和附加的休閒空間，這不僅提升了生活品質，還為住戶提供了一個舒適而豪華的居住環境。

內部設計：自然美感與現代風格的結合

住宅內部設計採用開放式布局，地板選用優質花崗岩，搭配裸露的膠合木框架，營造出自然、溫暖的氛圍。空間設計注重功能與美學的結合，包括一個寬敞的客廳、餐廳和廚房，這些區域以懸臂結構形式布局，泳池和花園分別位於建築的兩側，形成動靜結合的空間體驗。此外，住宅還設有一個私人木工工作坊，滿足屋主的個性化創作需求，進一步強調了空間的多功能性。

The 8,650-square-foot home is clad in charred wood panels treated with the traditional Japanese Yakisugi technique. This material is extremely durable and can effectively withstand the high humidity and heat conditions found in tropical climates, making it an ideal choice for construction materials in the Goa region.

In addition, the residence is equipped with an outdoor swimming pool and additional leisure space, which not only enhances the quality of life, but also provides residents with a comfortable and luxurious living environment.

Interior design: a combination of natural beauty and modern style

The interior design of the house adopts an open layout, with high-quality granite floors and exposed glulam frames, creating a natural and warm atmosphere. The space design focuses on the combination of function and aesthetics, including a spacious living room, dining room and kitchen. These areas are arranged in the form of a cantilevered structure. The swimming pool and garden are located on both sides of the building, forming a spatial experience that combines movement and stillness. Additionally, the residence features a private carpentry workshop to accommodate the homeowner’s individual creative needs, further emphasizing the space’s versatility.

三面落地玻璃窗使得自然光線充滿室內，增加了空間的明亮感與通透感。建築還設有一個半開放式金屬露台，懸浮於景觀之上，住戶可以在此欣賞壯麗的海景與自然風光，感受與自然的親密連接。室內家具設計簡約時尚，部分選用皮革材質，展現了低調而奢華的現代風格。

藝術與實用的完美結合

住宅的上層通過一條金屬樓梯連接，並設有一條畫廊式長廊，用於展示屋主的藝術收藏品和其他珍貴藏品。這條畫廊不僅是空間的實用延伸，還為整體設計注入了濃厚的藝術氣息。長廊連接著上層的客廳和主臥室，提供了私密而舒適的居住空間，並賦予住宅獨特的文化氛圍。

Floor-to-ceiling glass windows on three sides allow natural light to fill the interior, increasing the brightness and transparency of the space. The building also has a semi-open metal terrace, suspended above the landscape, where residents can enjoy the magnificent sea views and natural scenery, and feel an intimate connection with nature. The interior furniture design is simple and fashionable, and some are made of leather, showing a low-key and luxurious modern style.

The perfect combination of art and practicality

The upper level of the home is connected by a metal staircase and features a gallery-like gallery for displaying the owner’s art collection and other treasures. This gallery is not only a practical extension of the space, but also injects a strong artistic flavor into the overall design. The long corridor connects the living room and master bedroom on the upper floor, providing a private and comfortable living space and giving the house a unique cultural atmosphere.

可持續建築的未來願景

A vision for the future of sustainable architecture

阿克沙特·巴特強調，膠合木作為一種創新的建築材料，為印度住宅建築提供了全新的可能性。「膠合木的應用讓我們看到了可持續建築的未來，它不僅能減少碳排放，還能提升設計的靈活性和建築的美學價值。」

Akshat Bhat emphasized that glulam, as an innovative building material, offers completely new possibilities for residential construction in India. "The application of glulam allows us to see the future of sustainable construction. It can not only reduce carbon emissions, but also improve design flexibility and the aesthetic value of the building."

他還表示，像這樣的小規模創新試驗是推動行業變革的關鍵一步，並呼籲更多的設計師和建築師探索環保材料與技術的應用，共同促進印度建築行業的可持續發展。

He also said that small-scale innovative experiments like this are a key step in promoting changes in the industry, and called on more designers and architects to explore the application of environmentally friendly materials and technologies to jointly promote the sustainable development of the Indian construction industry.
