Bukit Merah是一个亲密的生活空间，它反对新加坡的公共住房，也被称为建屋发展局（HDB）公寓，是不适合室内设计的理想家庭空间的想法。该项目通过现代开放式的三室公寓探索公共和私人的并列关系，该公寓位于一个可以追溯到20世纪60年代的老房子里。
Bukit Merah is an intimate living space opposing the mindset that Public Housing in Singapore, also known as Housing Development Board (HDB) Flats, are unconducive of interior design pertaining to the ideal space for a home. The project explores the juxtaposition of the public and the private through the contemporary open-plan of a 3-room apartment located in an aged estate dating back to the 1960s.
在空间改造之前，设计师和客户的共同意见是可持续地保留水磨石、卧室镶木地板和蓝色墙砖，作为对过去遗产的致敬。通过保留用于木工工程的胶合板的完整性，以及与蓝色瓷砖色调相匹配的油漆工作，醇厚的色调拼贴将不同的空间统一为一个整体，反映了对失去时间的不急不缓的生活节奏的怀念。
Prior to the spatial transformation was the shared opinion of the designer and the client to sustainably preserve the Terrazzo, bedroom parquet and the blue wall tiles as a homage to the heritage of the yesteryears. By preserving the integrity of plywood as it is for the carpentry works and a paint job matching the shade of the blue tiles, the mellow collage of shades unifying the different spaces into one reflects the nostalgia of an unhurried pace of living lost to time.
传统的空间划分并不适合单人居住的住宅，因此建议采用实用主义的开放式设计，在公寓的程序性空间之间提供一个更无缝的过渡。开放式设计的特点是生活空间的界限模糊，在这个案例中，厨房、餐厅和客厅作为一个不分割的整体共存，同时尊重卧室的隐私。
The conventional partitioning of spaces does not sit well with a dwelling meant for single living, hence suggesting the pragmatism of an open plan providing a more seamless transition between programmatic spaces of the apartment. Characteristic of open plans are the ambiguous boundaries of living spaces, wherein in this case, the kitchen, dining and living areas co-exist as an undivided whole while respecting the privacy of the bedroom.
客户对热带气候所特有的植物收藏的热情，为建立一个类似于日本Engawa特征的专用阳台提供了机会，这里的园艺空间既在室内又在室外，而且还拥有公共性和私密性的双重性。滑动门划分了客户认为的 “私人室内 “的界限，也反映了对热带气候的敏感度–完全打开时允许整个房子交叉通风，而关闭时又能在大雨中提供安全的退路。
The client’s passion for a collection of plants unique to the tropical climate opened the opportunity for a dedicated balcony resembling the traits of a Japanese Engawa, where the gardening space is both on the inside and outside, and also, possessing the duality of publicness and privacy. Sliding doors demarcating the boundaries of what is deemed as the “private indoors” by the client too reflects a sensitivity to the climate of the tropics – allowing for cross ventilation throughout the house when fully opened, while also providing a safe retreat when closed in the event of a heavy downpour.
设计师认为，如果没有反映一个人生活的残留痕迹的可见性，家庭设计是不完整的，与此相一致的是作为点睛之笔的家具的策划。注入客厅的简约书架和储物柜最终装满了珍爱的物品，散发着真正反映对生活热爱的家的魅力。
In line with the designer’s belief that home design is incomplete without the visibility of lingering traces reflecting one’s living, is the curation of furniture as a finishing touch. Minimalistic shelving and storage injected into the living room were eventually packed with cherished possessions, exuding the charm of a home truly reflecting the love for a living.
