客户是一对有孩子的夫妇,他们最初来到我们公司,要求翻修其中一个伙伴的童年住宅,以容纳两个家庭,即他们和他们的父母。然而,在规划过程中,他们决定寻找一个新的房产,建造一个单户住宅。

The clients, a couple with children, originally came to our firm with a request to renovate the childhood home of one partner to accommodate two households, theirs and their parents. However, partway through the planning process, they decided instead to search for a new property and build a single-family residence.

我们公司参与了土地的搜寻工作。虽然客户没有寻找特定的区域,但他们决定把重点放在靠近丈夫工作地点的地方,并最终在一条安静的住宅街道上找到了这块三角形的土地。虽然这条街道只有两米宽,勉强够一辆车开过去,但这家人很喜欢这里的氛围和位置。因此,我们问了一家我们认识的建筑公司,在那里建房是否可行。在得知这需要一些额外的工作,但可以做到之后,我们开始设计房屋。

Our firm participated in the search for land. Although the clients were not looking in a specific area, they decided to focus close to the husband’s workplace and eventually found this triangular site on a quiet residential street. Although the street was only about two meters across, barely wide enough for a car to drive down, the family liked the atmosphere and location. We, therefore, asked a construction firm we knew if building a house there would be possible. After learning that it would take some extra work but was doable, we began designing the home.

该地处于一个严格的建筑法规限制建筑高度、屋檐高度和其他建筑元素的地区。我们开始考虑遵守这些不同法规所带来的外部形式的设计和使用可能性。这使我们找到了一个类似于堆积木的结构。没有大的墙体,使建筑在街道上的存在感不那么强烈,而且它的外观随着人的行走而变化,增加了趣味性。为了确保隐私,我们选择了一个完全由白色积木组成的外部设计,窗户被隐藏在街道上。

The site is in a district where strict building codes limit building height, eave height, and other architectural elements. We began by considering the design and use possibilities of the exterior form that resulted from obeying these various codes. This led us to a structure resembling stacked blocks. The absence of large walls makes the building less of an overwhelming presence on the street, and the way its appearance changes as one walks adds interest. In part to ensure privacy, we settled on an exterior design consisting entirely of white blocks, with windows concealed from the street.

两层楼的内部有一个入口、主卧室、儿童房和楼下的浴室,楼上是客厅、餐厅和厨房。卧室面向宽敞的入口处,儿童房的天花板很高,可以容纳阁楼。楼上部分地方的百叶窗地板允许各层之间的可视性。二楼面向街道的部分,由于高度的限制,其形状怪异,被有效地用作阳台,在视觉上与室内空间相连。块状的外部形状在内部空间得到了呼应,创造了一个统一的内部和外部设计。

The two-story interior has an entryway, master bedroom, children’s rooms, and bathroom downstairs, and a living room, dining room, and kitchen upstairs. The bedrooms face the spacious entryway, with high ceilings in the children’s rooms to accommodate lofts. Louvered floors in part of the upstairs allow visibility between levels. The portions of the second floor facing the street, whose odd shapes result from the height limitations, are effectively put to use as balconies visually linked to the interior spaces. The blocky exterior shape is echoed in the interior spaces, creating a unified interior and exterior design.
