这座房子位于一个密集的城市住宅区中间，是为一对夫妇和他们的孩子设计和建造的。该地块的前半部分属于第一类高度控制区，后退条例对周围地区的高度有严格的限制。该项目开始探索如何将建筑置于这样一个城镇景观中。
This house, located in the middle of a dense urban residential area, was designed and built for a couple and their children. The front half of the lot belonged to the category 1 height control district, and the setback regulation imposed a strict height limit on the surrounding area. The project began by exploring ways to situate the building in such a townscape.
客户花了很多时间做饭，他要求这个新房子里的厨房、生活空间和露台要一体化。我们以一个由交错的楼层组成的建筑作为回应，这带来了空间的连续性和流畅的垂直循环。
The client, who spends a lot of time cooking, requested the kitchen, living space, and terrace in this new house be integrated. We responded with a building comprising staggered floors, which brought about spatial continuity and smooth vertical circulation.
为了进一步强调这种空间连续性，客厅上方的板块沿对角线向上折叠，最上面的板块被部分抬高，这样厨房就有一个通往露台的大开口。这些设计安排产生了一些鼓励替代活动的功能：露台的倾斜地板可以用来做日光浴，而最顶层楼板升高部分下面的空间成为睡眠的凹槽。它们还引发了其他的设计决定，例如将平台与错层之间的楼梯间以对角线的角度整合在一起；在对面的墙上增加相应的角度来储存物品，并在客厅的一个大开口的末端放置一个三角形的灯园，以创造一个对角线方向的轴线，使房间感觉更宽敞。
To further emphasize this spatial continuity, a slab above the living room was folded upwards along a diagonal line, and the topmost slab was partially raised so that the kitchen would have a large opening to the terrace. These design arrangements resulted in some features that encourage alternative activities: the sloped floor of the terrace can be used for sunbathing, and the space underneath the raised section of the topmost slab became an alcove for sleeping. They also triggered other design decisions, such as integrating platforms at a diagonal angle with the stairwell running between the staggered floors; adding a corresponding angle to storage on the opposite wall, and placing a triangular light garden at the end of a large opening in the living room to create a diagonally oriented axis that makes the room feel more spacious.
因此，无数的对角线，是对可视程度和空间之间的关系进行仔细研究的结果，成为一种设计特征，表示与室内和露台之外的外部空间的连接。我们努力创造一个和谐地坐落在周围住宅建筑的不同形式中的住宅，以及一个微环境，使家人无论在哪里都能感受到城市生活的气息。
As such, the countless diagonal lines, which resulted from careful examinations of the level of visibility and the relationships between the spaces, became a design feature gesturing connectivity to the exterior space beyond the interior and terrace. We strived to create a home that sits harmoniously among the varied forms of surrounding residential buildings, and a microenvironment in which the family can feel a sense of urban life wherever they are inside the house.
