本项目的基地上生长着19棵几十年树龄的椰子树，该基地条件催生了本项目的名字、概念和基地边界。这座名为棕榈树的别墅拥有四间卧室，俯瞰着田野和季节性的河流景观。

Villa in the Palms is named after the 19 towering coconut palms that thrived for decades on the land, which dictated the villa’s concept and footprint. This four-bedroom house overlooks a field and a seasonal stream.

棕榈别墅完全融入自然景观中，仿佛一片村庄，从道路附近望去，小屋似乎完全隐藏在了80岁树龄的椰子树之间。实际上，这些在基地上生长了数十年的椰子树让别墅得以扎根自然，并平添了一丝古色古香的韵味。

Embedded into the natural landscape, Villa in the Palms appears almost village-like, pockets of small homes nestled between 80-year-old coconut trees, nearly invisible from points further up the approach road. The fact that the trees on site existed for decades gives the overall house a very rooted presence.

设计概念和过程 | Design Concept & Process

建筑事务所Abraham John Architects的核心设计概念是将建筑与自然重新联系在一起。如果要设计一个常规的别墅，那么就一定得砍掉几棵椰子树。为了避免这种情况的发生，建筑师精心设计，将建筑合理地放置在了椰子树之间的空地上，不仅没有破坏周围环境，在施工期间更是没有伤害任何一棵树。

The studio’s design approach is to reconnect architecture with nature. Designing a regular building block would have required the cutting down of several trees to accommodate the programme. To avoid this, the building was carefully designed between the trees, without disrupting the surroundings, and not a single tree was felled during construction.

建筑主入口有一种引人注目的空间递进性，给人一种“移步换景”般的空间视觉体验，每向前走一步，视野就开阔一些——首先只能看到一些裸露的红色石头，接着向前走，会看到一瞥泳池的景色，然后会看到花园，最终的视野最为开阔，可以欣赏到广阔的田野景观。带有天窗和内部花园的起居室位于入口的一侧，由裸露的砖墙围合而成。开放式的厨房和自带小酒吧的餐厅空间位于入口的另一侧，俯瞰着宽阔的室外露台和泳池（三个不同的泳池由柚木搭建而成的小桥和树群分隔开来）。

The main entrance features a kind of dramatic crescendo, with a view that widens with each footstep – first some exposed laterite stone, then a glimpse of the pool, then the gardens and finally the wide field beyond. At one side is a sky-lit living room with internal garden and walls of exposed masonry. At the other side is an open kitchen and dining room featuring a wet bar, all overlooking an expansive deck and pool (three distinct water bodies are separated by teak-wood bridges and tree islands).

因此，最终的建筑方案没有采取集中式，而是选择了分散式的布局，不免让人联想到古老的果阿村庄，但它又确实是一座完全现代的建筑。举个例子，位于首层的每间卧室都像一个独立的小住宅，都有属于自己的独立卫浴、后花园、入户花园和由红土墙围合而成的内部庭院。露台平台、走廊以及小桥不仅连接着这几个彼此独立的建筑体量，还蜿蜒地穿过椰子树林、泳池和花园，创造出一种舒适的居住环境。

Consequently, the structure is fragmented rather than monolithic, reminiscent of an old-time Goan village but at the same time entirely modern. Each bedroom on the ground floor, for example, feels like a separate home, replete with an en-suite bathrooms, a rear garden, a front garden and an internal courtyard flanked by laterite walls. These independent volumes are interconnected with decks, passages and bridges that meander through the trees and over pools and gardens.

不同倾斜角度的屋顶与当地的季风相适应，同时突出了建筑断断续续的设计特征和分散形式的美感。从屋顶上看，分散的建筑体量通过一个整体的屋顶连接起来，不仅可以收集雨水，更进一步地将建筑从视觉上融入进了郁郁葱葱的景观环境之中。宽阔的泳池与别墅完美地融为一体，同时将半私人区域与私人空间分隔开。

Roofs pitched at different angles pay homage to the monsoons and accentuate the staccato nature and fragmented aesthetic of the building. The interstitial roofs which cap each unit individually harvest rainwater, while further visually integrating the building in the lush landscape. The infinity swimming pool is fully integrated with the villa, dividing the semi-private areas from the private ones.

建筑设计采用了热带沿海地区果阿的当地材料，具有地域特色，配合着当地裸露的红色土石墙、倾斜的屋顶和由长达100岁高龄的回收柚木制成的建筑遮阳表皮。同时，项目的景观设计也考虑了当地的热带物种（主要是各种类型的棕榈树），从而能够确保别墅一年四季都可以隐藏在郁郁葱葱的环境之中。

The building design adopts distinct local features and materials of the tropical coastal state of Goa, with exposed local laterite stone walls, sloping roofs and screens made from 100-year-old recycled teak wood, while the landscape design consists of local tropical species (mostly various types of palms) that maintain their lush greenery through the year.

建筑室内外空间之间的界限非常模糊，巨大的开放性空间连接了所有生活空间。虽然一切空间都是开放的，都能享受到自然光线和自然通风，但每个房间的私密性仍然有所保证。围合空间的红土墙不仅可以在视觉上确保私密性，更能为房间的保温隔热做出贡献，同时为住户提供了基地北侧绝佳的田野景观朝向。

Boundaries between the inside and outside are blurred and vast open spaces connect each living space. While everything is open and filled with light and air, the house is still very private. The laterite walls thermally and visually shield each room, maintaining privacy while orienting for the best views of the northern field.

另一方面，建筑的北立面上设有大型嵌入式玻璃窗，在保证景观朝向的同时可以确保建筑不会过多地得热。多亏了红土墙在保温隔热方面的作用以及开放的北立面和内部庭院，该私人别墅在环境上呼应了其周边环境，在保证可持续性的前提下尊重了当地的自然环境和地理。

The Northern façade on the other hand opens with large recessed glazing to the fields while not increasing the solar gain. With the thermal mass of the laterite walls, open northern facades & open internal courtyards, the house creates and is designed to be environmentally responsive to its siting, sustainable as far as a private home can be, while respecting the local environment and geography.

卧室毗邻着泳池，沿着地板开有一个纵向的开窗，从而将底部的水波和涟漪反射在天花板上。底层所有的浴室均设有内置的下沉式浴缸，住户可以在泡澡的同时欣赏周围的庭院景观。最里面的一间卧室则设有一个宁静的半室内外浴室，在这里，住户可以欣赏到由光影创造出的不断变化的景观。

A bedroom abuts the pool, with a slit window along the floor that enables the ripples of water to reflect onto the ceiling. All the lower floor bathrooms have in-built sunken bath tubs to enjoy the adjoining courtyard landscapes. The last bedroom features a serene indoor-outdoor bathroom where light and shadow create everchanging landscapes.

体量的上层设有家庭活动室、化妆间、顶层花园和精致的主卧套房。主卧套房内设有一间卧室和一间开放的图书室，同时一个带窗户的“天桥”连廊将卧室与步入式衣柜和大主卫分隔开来。身处于上层空间，不仅可以欣赏到基地北面开放且宽广的田野景观，更能享受到基地南侧由相邻村庄的红瓦屋顶组成的“果阿丛林景观”。

On the upper floor there is a family room, powder room, top-floor garden and an exquisite master suite. The latter consists of a bedroom and an open library, with a windowed “sky bridge” separating the bedroom from a walk-in closet and large master bathroom. The views from upstairs consist not only of the open field to the north, but also a “Goan jungle view” to the south, replete with red-tile rooftops of the adjoining village.
