目前,相互尊重是做人的主要问题,建筑也是如此。这座房子是为一个极度爱狗的人建造的。一开始,他希望建造一个地方,不仅是为了他自己居住,而且必须是一个让他的狗尽情享受的地方。他还渴望与其他爱狗人士分享他的快乐和他心爱的狗的快乐,将他的狗屋的一部分作为酒店,让其他狗可以在这里共享设施,互相认识,包括狗的护理和沙龙角到后屋,还有项目前面的等待区,供人在狗的治疗项目中看到他们心爱的狗的活动。

Being respectful to each other is, presently, the major issue of being a human, and so be the architecture. This house is built for a man who desperately loves dogs. In the beginning, he desired to build a place, not only for him to live, but it must be a place for his dogs to enjoy as much as they want. He also desires to share his happiness and his beloved dogs’ happiness with other dog lovers by accommodating a part of his dog’s house as a hotel where other dogs can share facilities and meet each other in the place, including dog care and salon corner to the back house, and also the waiting area in front of the project for the human who wants to see their beloved dog’s activities during the dog’s treatment program.

为了反映客户的这种态度,我们开始研究项目的背景,了解建筑将如何配置。Nakhonpathom是被称为 “国家厨房 “的农业省,市场上的猪肉、鸡肉和大米都是在这里出口的,所以我们研究并发现了很多从过去到现在遗留下来的有趣的建筑角色,”屋顶”。

To reflect this attitude of the client, we started researching the context of the project to understand how the architecture will be configured. Nakhonpathom is the agricultural province known as the ‘national kitchen’ where pork, chicken, and rice in the market are exported, so we researched and found a lot of interesting architectural characters remaining from the past to the present day, ‘the roof’.

对我们来说,”背景 “这个词不仅用于附近的建筑、现有的树木、天气、地质或任何我们通过感官感知的物理事物,而且还包括抽象的东西,用户的关系,”狗和人”。我们还研究了人类和狗的行为,以了解他们之间的关系。我们发现狗、人和建筑之间的相对关系是一个简单的东西,叫做’规模’。

The word ‘Context’, for us, is not only used for the nearby building, existing trees, weather, geology, or any of the physical things we perceive through our senses but it is also included the abstract thing, the relationship of the users, ‘Dog and Human’. We also studied human and dog behavior to understand the relationship between them. What we found relatively between dogs, humans, and architecture is a simple thing called ‘Scale’.

‘尺度’是狗和人都能感知到的最重要的差异。每当我们想与狗交流时,我们需要稍微鞠躬,以拉近与狗的距离,使它们更有信心,并减少狗与人之间的距离,在身体上和精神上。相应地,建筑,人造,是利用当地农业建筑的特点设计的,它的屋顶设计很低,以配合鸡和猪的规模,但我们用屋顶的元素来提醒人们其他生命的存在。屋顶表明人们在哪里可以行走,在哪里不能行走,在哪里可以看到,在哪里可以坐下,在哪里狗可以跑,在哪里狗可以躺下,甚至在哪里树木可以生长。

‘Scale’ is the most significant difference perceived by both dogs and humans. Whenever we want to communicate with the dog, we need to a little bow ourselves to get closer to make them more confident and to reduce the distance between dog and human, physically and mentally. Accordingly, the architecture, human-made, is designed using the character of the local agricultural building which has a low roof design to match the scale of chicken and pig, but we used the roof element to remind people of the existence of other lives. The roof indicates where people can walk, where they cannot, where they can see, where they can sit, where dogs can run, where dogs can lay down, or even where the trees can grow.

柱基的设计是为了适应狗睡觉时的形状,并在功能上用于方便清洁。游泳池的台阶也设计得很好,不仅适合人类的尺度,而且也适合狗从游泳池中适当地踏上去。屋顶的设计没有屋顶天沟,让水直接接触地面。所有的设计都是为了鼓励相互之间的生活,使他们更加亲密,使他们共同成长,使人类更加尊重地球上的其他生命物质。

The column base is designed to fit the dog shape when they sleep and to be functionally used for easy cleaning. The steps of the swimming pool are also designed to suit not only human scale, but it is also suitable for the dog to step up from the pool properly. The roof is designed without the roof gutter to let the water touch the ground directly. All of the designs aim to encourage living with each other, to make them closer, to make them grow together, and to make humans more respectful to the other lives matter on earth.
