一个简单的露台住宅位于新加坡的温莎公园社区,由两个倾斜的混凝土形式组成,包含了私人卧室和阁楼露台。一个连续的铝制屏风包裹着这些体量,缓解了热带赤道上的强烈太阳辐射,同时允许日光的深入渗透。

A Simple Terrace House is in the Windsor Park neighbourhood of Singapore and is composed of two pitched concrete forms containing the private bedrooms and attic terrace. A continuous aluminium screen wraps these volumes, mitigating the intense solar gain found on the tropical equator, while allowing deep penetration of daylight.

在这两个引人注目的体量之间是一个露天庭院,它将住宅分成两部分,将外部空气通过阁楼露台连接起来,向下通过卧室层进入底层的生活和用餐区。庭院的截面是潜望式的,作为住宅的热通风器,将生活空间的空调降到最低。在底层,庭院基于热分层运行,允许冷空气聚集在坐位上,以便在需要时进行空调,而热空气通过庭院上升。

Between these two dramatic volumes is an open-air courtyard that bifurcates the home, linking exterior air through the attic terrace, downward through the bedroom level into the living and dining areas found on the ground floor. The courtyard is periscopic in section acting as a thermal ventilator for the home minimizing air conditioning to the living spaces. On the ground level, the courtyard operates based on thermal stratification, allowing cool air to collect at sitting level allowing air conditioning when needed, while hot air rises through the courtyard.

充分的交叉通风加上风扇的高风速,确保了空调只在最热的日子里使用。由于庭院总是向上方开放,附近自然保护区的微风和声音进入建筑中心,改善了室内的整体空气质量。

Full cross ventilation coupled with elevated air speed by fans insures that air conditioning is used only on the hottest of days. Because of the courtyard being always open to above, slight breezes and sounds from the nearby nature reserve enter into the center of the architecture improving the overall interior air quality.

这座房子坐落在街区中间的露台上,要求建筑通过一系列天窗和阁楼露台上的通风窗来反转自身。楼梯和主浴室上方的一系列较小的锥形体量,以类似于庭院的方式运作,允许热空气排出,同时将自然光带入通常是家中最黑暗的区域。

The house sits as a terrace mid-block property requiring the architecture to invert on itself through a series of skylights and ventilations windows about the attic terrace. A series of smaller tapered volumes above the stair and master bath, operate in a similar capacity to the courtyard, allowing hot air to escape while bringing natural daylight into what would be normally the darkest areas of the home.

简易露台住宅由板状和非板状混凝土与白橡木形成对比的少量材料组成,作为一个建筑概念,减少了材料、色调和体积的复杂性,在一个自然通风的设计中放大了光线、气氛和热舒适度,以适应湿热的赤道。

Composed of a reduced pallet of materials in board form and off form concrete contrasted with white oak, a Simple Terrace House works with reduction as an architectural concept- reduction of materials, tones, and volumetric complexity to amplify the presence of light, atmosphere, and thermal comfort in a naturally ventilated design calibrated to the hot and wet equator.
