想象一下，你是一个孩子，住在这样的房子里。每天都会是一个聚会，你不觉得吗？当您的客户，一对有三个孩子的夫妇，要求有一栋特别的房子，让孩子们一辈子都会珍惜对它的记忆时，您会怎么做？你设计了一个房子，其中有一个可以想象的最好玩的元素，一个横跨三层楼的滑梯。
Imagine you were a kid living in a house like this. Everyday would be a party, don’t you think? What do you do when your clients, a couple with three children, ask for a house so special that the children will cherish the memory of it for the rest of their lives’? You design a house with the most playful element imaginable, a slide that spans three floors.
他们没有把滑梯放在楼梯旁边，也没有把它安装在游戏室里，而是大胆地把它作为房子的一个组成部分。进入房子的一楼入口后，沿着墙壁向右登上楼梯，爬过一楼，来到二楼。如果你使用滑梯的话，回程下来只需要几秒钟的时间，滑梯沿着整个建筑的内围。我们花了很多时间去想出合适的斜坡角度、滑梯的最佳材料以及必须加固墙体的弯角的理想施工方法。
Rather than placing the slide next to the staircase or installing it in a playroom, they boldly made it an integral part of the house. After entering the ground-floor entrance to the house, you ascend the staircase to the right, along the wall, and climb past the first floor to the second story. The trip back down takes seconds when you use the slide, which runs along the entire inner perimeter of the building. We spent a lot of time trying to figure out the right angle of the slope, best materials for the slide and the ideal construction method of the curved corners where the wall had to be reinforced.
建筑的四个角都是圆弧形的。一楼容纳了一个生活用餐区，包括厨房，周围是楼梯和滑梯。一张6米长的内置沙发创造了一种统一感，因为光线从庭院通过光栅过滤进来。二楼的卧室没有隔断，适合所有人居住。圆弧形的柜子在室内投射出柔和的阴影，同时让建筑在室外看起来很有吸引力。
The four corners of the building are rounded. The first floor, which accommodates a living-dining area and includes the kitchen, is surrounded by the stairs and the slide. A 6m-long build-in sofa creates a sense of unity as light filters in from the courtyard through gratings. The bedroom on the second floor has no partitioning and is for everyone. Rounded couners cast soft shadows inside, while giving the building an appealing look outside.
项目完成一个月后，我们参观了房子。孩子们最大的乐趣是试图从滑梯上滑上去，而不是滑下来。有什么更好的方式将游戏空间融入家庭生活呢？
A month after completing the project, we visited the house. The children’s biggest joy was trying to go up the slide instead of down. What better way to incorporate a space for play into family life?
