天池房屋的客户最初打算对现有房屋进行改建和加建。然而，在设计了几个月后，他们意识到现有的房子确实不符合他们的新要求，从头开始更理想。该地块位于一个小路尽头的高架上，被认为是新加坡的一个黄金住宅区。
The client for the Sky Pool house originally intended to make alterations and additions to the existing house. However, after designing for some months they realized that the existing house really did not match their new requirements and it was more ideal to just start from scratch. The site sits on an elevated plot at the end of a small cul de sac, and is considered a prime residential area of Singapore.
在土地稀缺的新加坡，绿化和自然空间是非常重要的，所以我们构思了一个设计，以满足客户的要求，同时将绿化还给社区和房屋。分层的屋顶花园不仅在房子的每一层都能看到郁郁葱葱的绿色，而且还能通过植物的蒸腾作用被动地帮助冷却房子。当从外面看时，这些悬垂的植物软化了相当大的房子的边缘。
In land scarce Singapore, greenery and space for nature comes at a premium, so we conceived a design that satisfied the client’s brief, while giving greenery back to the neighbourhood and house. The layered roof gardens not only provide lush greenery when viewed from each level of the house, but also help to cool the house passively through transpiration of the plants. When viewed from outside, these overhanging plants soften the edges of what is quite a large house.
房子由一条短的车道接近，然后通过一系列的花园台阶通向前门，并通过一个短的坡道进入地下室车库。这种方式被设想为尽可能的绿色，用柔和的绿色植物包围所有。客户还要求他有一个屋顶健身房和游泳池，以利用高处的远景。通过在游泳池的底部放置一个亚克力窗，我们让光线涌入下面的中庭空隙空间。
The house is approached by a short driveway which then leads up to the front door via a series of garden steps, and into a basement garage via a short ramp. This approach was conceived to be as green as possible, with soft greenery enveloping all. The client also requested that he have a rooftop gym and swimming pool, to take advantage of the distant views from the elevated site. By placing an acrylic window in the base of the swimming pool, we allowed light to flood into the atrium void space below.
这个中庭位于房子的中心，允许光线穿透到相当深的平面图中。因为它在游泳池下面，所以很少有热量传入建筑，这在新加坡炎热的热带气候中很重要。为了帮助被动冷却房屋，我们提供了大的屋顶悬垂，以遮挡热带的阳光和雨水。屋顶上还安装了光伏电池。
This atrium was in the heart of the house and allowed light to penetrate into what is quite a deep floor plan. Because it was under a swimming pool, very little heat is transmitted into the building, which is important in Singapore’s hot tropical climate. To also help passively cool the house, we provided large roof overhangs to shade from the tropical sun and rain. Photovoltaic cells also are installed on the roof.
