地段尺寸为7.5 x 14.3米，被相邻的建筑包围，通过一条宽1.2米、长16.4米的小巷进入。从传统的四合院中获得灵感，在这个项目中，空间和体量被重新配置，垂直堆叠成三块，然后水平偏移，在封闭空间的实体之间引入开放空间的空隙。因此，它创造了围绕生活空间的 “庭院”，这与传统的庭院住宅相反，庭院被生活空间所包围着。
The lot dimension is 7.5 x 14.3 meters, surrounded by adjacent constructions and accessed by an alleyway of 1.2 meters wide by 16.4 meters long. Getting inspiration from traditional courtyard house, in this project, the spaces and volumes are reconfigured to stacked vertically in three blocks and then offset horizontally to introduce the voids of open-spaces in between the solids of the enclosed-spaces. As a result, it creates “courtyards” that revolve around living spaces, which is in reverse to the traditional courtyard house, where the courtyard is encircled by living spaces.
因此，在7.5米x14.3米的地块范围内，通过拥有更多开放的绿色空间，我们的项目已经解决了小城镇住宅在炎热的气候和密集的城市中所面临的这些挑战。
将土地覆盖率降低到50%以下。
为冷却和湿度控制创造交叉通风。
利用自然光。
实现人与人、人与自然之间的联系。
适应个人对私人空间的需求。
屏蔽来自周围的噪音和灰尘。
So within the lot area of 7,5 m x 14.3 m, by having more of open, green spaces, our project has tackled these challenges that a small townhome are facing in a hot climate and dense town:
Reducing the lot coverage to less than 50%.
Creating cross ventilation for cooling and humidity control.
Utilizing natural daylight.
Enable connection between human to human, and human to nature .
Accommodating individual’s need for private space.
Screening away noise and dust from surrounding.
由于被相邻建筑的墙壁所限制，没有任何后退空间，主楼的布局尽量保持开放，以便自然通风。主楼的开放空间可以成为家庭和朋友聚会、午后小憩、夏夜睡眠、庭院用餐、园艺、偶尔的团体活动或会议等适应性用途。
Being confined by walls from the adjacent buildings without any setback space, the main floor layout keeps open as possible for natural ventilation. The main floor’s open-space can become adaptive uses for family and friends gathering, afternoon nap, summer night sleep, patio dining, gardening, occasional group activities or meeting etc.
为了让自然更接近生活，主楼和二楼由一个完全开放的外部楼梯连接，可以看到上面的天空。在二楼，靠近房子的中心位置，设置了一个祭坛，两层楼高的白色墙面上，显示着佛祖的日光浮雕，呈Bhūmisparśa Mudra姿势，光线通过上方的天窗投射在墙上。
To bring nature closer to living, the main floor and second floor are connected by an exterior stairway fully open to the sky above. On second floor, near center of the house, an altar is set up where a two-story height wall in white that shows a sunk-relief of Buddha in Bhūmisparśa Mudra posture with light casting down on the wall through a skylight above.
建筑材料将保持最低限度，并来自当地，以减少运输和劳动的污染，省略任何不必要的装饰元素。种植空间用土壤覆盖，以达到季节性园艺的目的。在不使用地板抛光的情况下，混凝土地板被研磨成天然混凝土的灰色调外观。在潮湿的地方，墙体接缝用水泥灌浆密封。每个内部和外部的墙壁都使用粗砂进行抹灰，并以垂直刷的方式进行重扫。
Building materials are to remain minimal and from local sources to reduce pollution from transportation and labor, omitting any unnecessity from decorative elements. The planting spaces are covered with soil for seasonal gardening purposes. Without using flooring polishing, concrete floor is grinded to remain a grey tone look from natural concrete. Wall joints at wet locations are sealed with cement grout. Every interior and exterior walls are plastered using coarse sand, with heavy broom finish in a vertical brush texture.
