这座房子在很大程度上是对客户生活方式要求的融合的描述,通过设计理念的塑造。客户是一个由三代人组成的家庭(一对夫妇、他们的父母和两个孩子),他们的要求很简单,就是希望能在同一水平线上,这样他们就可以和年轻的孩子们在一起,并有空间来招待他们的客人。这意味着要为每一代人提供不同的空间,但又要将他们整合在同一水平线上,并与户外空间相结合。 在这里,我们重新诠释了对庭院、地下室和庇护所的看法。庇护所的概念已被转化为一个大的悬空,试图补充和扩展现场现有树木的庇护。

The house is largely a depiction of a fusion of the client’s lifestyle requirements shaped through the design ideology. The clients were a family consisting of three generations (a couple, their parents, and two children) with a simple brief of wanting to be on the same level so that they would be around the young kids and have spaces to entertain their guests additionally. This meant to have distinct spaces for each generation and yet, integrate them on the same level inside, as well as with the outdoor spaces. Here, we re-interpret the perception of courtyards, basements, and shelters. The idea of shelter has been translated as a large overhang, trying to complement and extend the shelter of the existing trees on site.

概念上的出发点是将每个空间作为一个独立的体量,每个体量都是独特的。设计结果是三个不同的区块,每个区块都通过石头和砖头等材料由内而外地表现出功能。有两个院子,一个在地下室,一个在地面。

The conceptual start was to represent each space as an individual volume and each volume distinct. The design outcome is a play of three distinct blocks, each with an inside-out representation of function through materials namely stone and brick. There are two courtyards one at the basement level and one at the ground.

在空间上,这些功能被组织成地面上的正式和非正式空间。在入口处,第一个焦点是一个战略性放置的水体,它延伸到一个下沉的庭院。它屏蔽了后方的非正式空间,并将光线反射到入口空间。公共空间在一个海湾,卧室在另一个海湾。每间卧室都有一个开放的空间–父母的房间有前院,孩子的房间有第二个院子,而主卧室有后院。在中央空间有一个直线飞行的楼梯,突出了流通空间的线性。

Spatially, the functions are organized as formal and informal spaces on the ground. At the entrance, the first focal point is a strategically placed water body extending out over a sunken courtyard. It screens the rear informal spaces as well as brings reflections of light into the entrance space. The common spaces are in one bay and bedrooms in another. Each bedroom has access to an open space – the parent’s room has the front yard, the kid’s room has the second courtyard, and the master bedroom has the backyard. There is a straight flight staircase in the central space that highlights the linearity of the circulation space.

地下室下沉式庭院的放置设计是为了获得光线,和空气,以及通向室外绿地,使健身房,家庭影院,台球桌(娱乐),和小的生活空间更透气。 通过延伸的台阶连接到一楼的户外空间,使之成为一个连续的空间,用于举办聚会和活动。

Basement sunken courtyard is placed designed for access to light, and air as well as access to outdoor greens making the gym, home theatre, pool table (recreation), and small living space more breathable. A connection through the extended steps access to ground floor outdoor spaces and makes one continuous space for hosting get-togethers and events.

一楼有一个供孩子们未来使用的房间和一个客房。二楼是后部的仆人区,考虑到该地块是一个转角,他们在地面上有一个独立的入口,从侧面可以从后面进入。一楼也提供了生活空间,这些空间通向一个有悬挑的露台。这个悬架覆盖了所有的露台,作为一个统一的元素。其结果是,交叉的体量被埋入土中,用砖和石头包裹着,形成了一种朴实和现代的氛围,上面漂浮着一个木制的庇护所,带来了住所的温暖。

The first floor has a room for kids for future use and a guest room. The second floor houses the servant’s quarter at the rear and considering the site is a corner plot, they have an independent entrance on the ground from the side with access from the rear. Living spaces have been provided on the first floor as well that open onto a terrace with an overhang. This overhang covers all the terraces as a unifying element. The result is intersecting volumes that have been humbled into the earth and wrapped in brick and stone for both an earthy and contemporary vibe, with a shelter in wood floating above that brings out the warmth of an abode.
