考虑到两代人之间的照顾，一个由两户人家组成的家庭决定一起建房。年轻的夫妇已经住在城市里，而爷爷奶奶住在农村，他们很想搬回城市设施附近。
Contemplating care between generations, a family comprising of two households decides to build a house together. While the younger couple already lives in the city, the grandparents live in the countryside and are keen to move back to the proximity of urban amenities.
与时俱进的适应性。对于这栋迷你公寓，我们设计了一个能够适应随着时间变化的空间需求的概念。这对老年夫妇居住在顶层公寓，可以欣赏到城市景观。这套公寓有电梯和平层，非常适合老年人居住。最底层的公寓有一间办公室，并与花园有直接关系，非常适合有小孩的工作家庭。
Adapting with time. For this mini-apartment building, a concept was devised capable of accommodating changing spatial demands over time. The elderly couple occupies the top apartment with generous views across the cityscape. This apartment has an elevator and level floors, making it very suitable for the elderly. The bottom apartment has an office and a direct relationship with the garden, making it ideal for a working family with young children.
它没有将垂直流通降低到必要的程度，而是占据了建筑的中心位置。在低层公寓中，该系统作为一个雕塑元素无处不在，逐渐转变为建筑高层的一系列空隙。这个中央通道系统允许一个 “多余的楼层 “与任何一个公寓相结合。最初是作为最顶层公寓的会客空间，通过一些基本的技术修正，这个空间可以很容易地添加到低层公寓中。
Instead of reducing vertical circulation to a necessity, it occupies the heart of the building. Omnipresent as a sculptural element in the lower apartment, the system gradually transforms into a series of voids higher up in the building. This central access system allows a ‘surplus floor’ to be combined with either apartment. Initially used as a space for guests for the topmost apartment, this space can be easily added to the lower apartment through a few elementary technical amendments.
开放式与封闭式。仿佛是一个千里眼，建筑平面的梯度在建筑立面的对比中得到了强调。北面的立面大部分是封闭的，以减少热损失，并减少沿繁忙街道的声音暴露。向南，建筑完全开放，最大限度地提高了被动式太阳能的获取和与户外的联系。在这两个相反的立面之间，建筑的规划经历了一个渐进式的转变，从北面的隔断式，到南面的开放式和自由式元素的结构。在这里，建筑以一个非正式的类似过滤器的阳台层结束。
Open vs. enclosed. As though a clair-obscur, the gradient in the building’s plan is emphasized in the building’s contrasting façades. The Northern façade is mostly closed to reduce thermal loss and reduce sound exposure along the busy street. Towards the South, the building opens up completely, maximizing passive solar gain and the connection with the outdoors. In between the two contrary façades, the building’s plan undergoes a gradual transformation, from compartmentalized in the North, to open-plan and structured with free-form elements towards the South. Here the building is concluded with an informal filter-like balcony layer.
材料和构成。在一个近乎基本的细节中，建筑传达了它的构成，材料传达了它们的目的。因此，南面的立面只用最小的三层玻璃窗框进行包覆，以强调建筑与户外的关系。其余的结构墙由大规格的混凝土砌体组成，并包裹着高档保温材料。在这些墙体之间，裸露的混凝土板横跨8米，提供了一个清晰的平面，在这个平面上，温暖的木材元素定义了空间时刻。北方封闭而裸露，南方轻盈而脆弱，建筑是一个对比的构成。
Material and composition. In a near elementary detailing, the building communicates its composition and materials communicate their purpose. Hence the Southern façade is clad only with minimal triple glazing window frames to underline the building’s relationship with the outdoors. The remaining structural walls are composed of large format concrete masonry, wrapped in high-grade thermal insulation. Between these walls, bare concrete slabs span 8 meters and offer a clear plane on which warmer timber elements define spatial moments. Closed and bare towards the North, light and fragile towards the South, the building is a composition of contrasts.
