城市住宅开发随着城市地区预期寿命的提高而迅速增加。除了昂贵的土地价格和低质量的生活，在城市中间找到密集的居住区并不困难。其中大多数没有大的车辆，尽管附近有一条公路。

Urban residential development increases rapidly with the advancement of life expectancy in urban areas. Aside from expensive land prices and low quality of life, it is not difficult to find dense settlements in the middle of the city. Most of those have no access to big vehicles, even though there is a road nearby.

NOR屋位于一个密集的居住区，唯一的通道是一条狭窄的小巷，准确地说，它位于印度尼西亚西爪哇省万隆市的Jalan Pahlawan，是一对夫妇Sisca和Ovian的住所。这座两层楼的房子于2018年初完工。NOR House的名字本身取自他们的孩子Adara Kaila Eleanor和Sophia Cyrilla Eleonora，他们的名字里有nur或者阿拉伯语的光这个词。

Located in a dense settlement with a narrow alley as the only access, precisely in Jalan Pahlawan, Bandung, West Java – Indonesia, NOR House is a residence of a couple, Sisca, and Ovian. The two-floor house was completed in early 2018. The name of NOR House itself is taken from their children, Adara Kaila Eleanor and Sophia Cyrilla Eleonora, who have the word nur or light in Arabic as part of their name.

这个名字启发我们把太阳的元素放入设计中。从数百万年前开始，太阳就一直在黎明时分升起，在黄昏时分落下。在伊斯兰教中，人类与真主之间的交流被称为五次强制性的仪式性祈祷，其中五次表示太阳的过渡。义务仪式祈祷也是我们设计以太阳和光为建筑叙事的房屋的灵感。

The name inspired us to put the element of the sun into the design. Since millions of years ago, the sun consistently rises dawn and set in the early dusk. In Islam, the communication between humans and God is called the five times of obligatory ritual prayer in which the five times indicate the transition of the sun. The obligatory ritual prayer was also our inspiration to design a house with the sun and light as the narrative of the architecture.

建筑中的开口数量使自然光和良好的空气流通最大化。人工光的使用，以隐蔽灯和间接照明的形式，突出了某些区域的细节。例子是间接光用在花园里的parahyba树上，强调它的树干直立起来，好像它在主建筑体上刺穿了一个洞。在祈祷室里，安装了一扇窗户，给人的印象是它修饰了主建筑的体量。窗户也提供了白天的光线。强烈的灯光加上窗户表面的阿拉（上帝）字样，在祈祷室的内部形成了文字的阴影。

The number of openings in the building maximizes the natural light and good air circulation. The use of artificial light, in the form of a hidden lamp and indirect lighting, accentuates the detail in some areas. The example is indirect light used on parahyba tree in the garden to emphasize its trunk standing upright as though it has pierced and made a hole in the main building mass. In the prayer room, a window was installed to make an impression as though it trimmed the main building’s mass. The window also provides the light during daytime. The strong lighting coupled with the word of Allah (God) on the window surface create the writing’s shadow in the prayer room’s interior.

NOR之家的总面积为105平方米，具有现代热带建筑的概念，屋顶和外墙都是白色的锌涂层。它的建筑体量和白色使NOR之家与周围的建筑相比，从空中俯瞰非常整洁和有特色。在建筑内部，象牙色的陶瓷与镶木地板和白色的墙面相结合，给所有住宅区带来了简单和干净的感觉。

With a total area of 105 m2, NOR House has a contemporary tropical architectural concept with white-colored, zinc-coated roof surface and facade. Its building mass and the white color make the NOR House very tidy and distinctive compared with the surrounding buildings when viewed from the air. For the building interior, ivory-colored ceramic combined with parquet flooring and white wall give a simple and clean touch in all residential area.

NOR大厦为住户提供了两层的最大空间。第一层面积为57平方米，包括客厅、餐厅、厨房、厕所、祈祷室、烘干室和花园。二楼面积为48平方米，有一间主卧室、儿童卧室和一间浴室。最终，为了解决业主的需求和密集居住区的挑战，NOR之家通过对每天都伴随着我们的阳光的欣赏，展示了对人类之间的联系和造物主的伟大的诠释。

NOR House maximizes the space for its residents in two floors. The first floor has an area of 57 m2 consists of living room, dining room, kitchen, toilet, prayer room, drying room, and garden. The second floor, with an area of 48 m2, has a master bedroom, kid bedroom, and a bathroom. Ultimately, in addition, to address the needs of the owners and the challenges of dense settlement, NOR House presents the interpretation of connections among humans and the greatness of the Creator through its appreciation on sunlight that always accompanies us every day.
