“车库露台作为客厅的延伸”,该地块面对新开发的住宅区中间的主干道。在这个地区有很多过境和预期的人。周围开始建设的房屋距离前面的道路约5米。这些被用作停车场和前院。前院将设置一个车棚,居民在那里烧烤,同时可以俯瞰交通和人们的假期。你会说车棚让城市景观变得很好吗?我对此表示怀疑。客户是一对三十多岁的夫妇,他们喜欢汽车,这是他们第二次建房。

“The garage terrace as an extension of the living room” The site faces the main road in the middle of a newly developed residential site. There is a lot of transit and people expected in this area. The surrounding houses that started building up are set back about 5m. from the front road. These are used as a parking lot and front yard. A carport will be set up in the front yard, where residents will have barbecues while overlooking traffic and people on holidays. Would you say it is good for the city that Carports make the townscape? I doubt it. The client is a couple in their mid-thirties who likes cars, and it is their second time building a house.

业主告诉我,他们想卖掉第一栋没有个性的房子,这次想做一个独特的房子,同时要保持低价。所以一开始,我计划建造一个紧凑的单层楼房,但当我听说他们打算在未来建立车棚时,我建议他们在成本之外再建一个车棚。这不是一个普通的车棚,也不是一个内置的停车场,而是一个车棚,作为一个活跃的半户外露台,与客厅相连。屋顶材料是一种透明的聚碳酸酯波纹板。

The owners told me they want to sell off their first house which has no personality, and want to make a unique house this time, while at the same time, keeping the cost low. So at first, I planned a compact single-story house, but when I heard that they planned to set up carports in the future, I suggested them to build a carport in additionally to the cost. It is not a normal carport or a built-in parking lot, but a carport that serves as an active semi-outdoor terrace, connected to the living room. The roof material is a transparent polycarbonate corrugated board.

面向邻家一侧的墙体材料是由回收的塑料瓶制成的波纹板。我把它命名为 “车库露台”。客厅的天花板高度约为4米。它可以获得来自南方的光线,同时通过在前面的路边设置高侧窗来保持隐私。车库的天花板高度与客厅的高度一致。为了拥抱天空和风,强调一个 “半户外 “的空间,这个高边没有使用玻璃。

The wall material facing the side of the neighboring house is a corrugated board made of recycled plastic bottles. I named it “the garage terrace”. The ceiling height of the living room is about 4m. It can get light from the South, while keeping privacy by setting up high-side windows on the front roadside. The ceiling height of the garage matches the living room’s height. Glass was not use on this high side, in order to embrace the sky and the wind to emphasize a “semi-outdoor” space.

当他们把车放在前院,在车库的露台上进行烧烤时,他们不会被人们的目光所困扰,也不用担心突然下雨。如果他们的朋友是汽车爱好者,他们也许可以在客厅里边看车库里的车边享受。如果他们能根据自己的活动、爱好或事件,找到不同的好方法来使用车库露台,我会很高兴。

When they put the car in the front yard and have a barbecue on the garage terrace, they will not be bothered by people’s stares and do not have to worry about sudden rain. If their friends are car enthusiasts, they may be able to enjoy themselves in the living room while watching the car in the garage. I will be happy if they can find different good ways to use the Garage Terrace depending on their activities, hobbies, or events.

虽然客户已经放弃了生孩子的想法,但在开始建造这所房子后,他们得到了孩子的祝福。两个人的房子 “突然变成了 “三个人的房子”。阁楼的空间可以很容易地作为儿童房使用。或者他们也可以利用浴室上方的开放空间再建一个房间。无论哪种方式,一家人肯定会在车库的露台上享受活动和用餐。

Although the client had given up on having a baby, they were blessed with one after starting the construction of this house. The house for “two people” suddenly became a house for “three people.” The Loft space can easily be used as a child’s room. Or they may also build an additional room using the open space over the bathroom. Either way, the family will surely enjoy activities and dining on the garage terrace.
