项目简介是为三户人家–客户的年轻家庭带着一个孩子,他们的父母和他们的姑姑–提供一个多代同堂的住宅,有私人空间、公共空间和大量的绿化。我们将该住宅设计成一个景观双层皮,包裹着三层可居住的空间,并由一个垂直的景观庭院穿透。第一层为公共空间,第二层为年长的父母和阿姨,第三层为年轻家庭,有他们自己的私人门和楼梯。屋顶花园是整个建筑的顶端。

The brief was for a multi-generational home for three households – the client’s young family with a child, their parents, and their aunt – with private spaces, common spaces and generous greenery. We formulated the parti as a landscape double skin enveloping three levels of habitable spaces and punctured by a vertical landscaped courtyard. The first level is for communal use, second for the elderly parents and aunt, and the third level for the young family with their own private door and staircase. A roof garden caps the building.

在给每个人提供私人空间的同时,我们用一个中央花园院子来连接所有三层。通往第二层的楼梯和第三层的天桥在这个庭院中纵横交错,使家庭中的人可以偶然相遇。一个水景和高大的室内树木充满了这个庭院,将房子的中心与外部连接起来。

While giving everyone their private spaces, we used a central garden courtyard to connect all three levels. The staircase to the second level and a skybridge at the third level crisscross this courtyard, allowing for chance encounters within the family. A water feature and tall indoor trees fill this courtyard, connecting the heart of the house to the outside.

与发展的压力背道而驰,我们说服客户不要最大限度地扩大建筑面积,而要注重空间的质量。其结果是一个非传统意义上的慷慨和宏伟的室内花园,横跨三层,以及整个房子的绿色植物的亲密存在。

Going against developmental pressure, we convinced the client not to maximise the built floor area but to focus on the quality of the space instead. The result is an unconventionally generous and grand indoor garden spanning three levels, and the intimate presence of greenery throughout the house.

双层景观、室内水花园、带通风天窗的三层庭院和屋顶花园共同创造了舒适的微气候条件;尽管房子朝西,却始终保持着微风和凉爽。我们成功地创造了一个适合气候的热带住宅,而没有采用通常的热带建筑解决方案,即深屋檐和悬挑,这在土地稀缺的新加坡越来越难实现。

The landscaped double skin, indoor water garden, triple-volume courtyard with ventilated skylight, and roof garden work together to create comfortable microclimatic conditions; the house is constantly breezy and cool despite its west-facing orientation. We managed to create a climate-appropriate tropical house without the usual tropical architectural solutions of deep eaves and overhangs, which are increasingly difficult to achieve in land-scarce Singapore.

双层景观策略及其有效的生物亲和力和微气候效应表明,在新加坡这样密集的城市环境中,仍然有新的方法来创造热带建筑。三层的室内水花园–楼梯在树叶间穿梭,天桥穿越树冠–将自然带入室内,融入居民的日常生活中。

The landscaped double skin strategy and its effective biophilic and microclimatic effects show that there are still new ways to create tropical architecture in a dense urban environment like Singapore. The triple-volume indoor water garden – with a staircase weaving through foliage and a skybridge crossing the tree canopy – brings nature indoors and into the residents’ everyday life.
