俄罗斯方块屋位于一个500平方米的地块上,临街面25米。该形式由三个主要的绘画体块组成,被两面加厚的墙壁小心翼翼地遮盖着。其中两个体块被水平流通路径分开,垂直于第三个高大的体块,该体块容纳垂直流通。

Tetris House sits on a 500 square meter lot with a 25 meters street front. The form is composed of three main painted masses carefully veiled by two cladded walls. Two of the masses are separated by the horizontal circulation path that is perpendicular to the third tall mass which houses the vertical circulation.

墙体在正面盘旋,其切口露出某些开口,并隐藏其他开口。正面的一个突出元素是主门。4米乘4米的木质结构是由两个不同的门组成的。一个是低而宽的日常入口,另一个是高而窄的客人入口。

The walls hover on the front façade with cutaways revealing certain openings and hiding others. A prominent element on the façade is the main door. The 4 by 4-meter wood composition are made of two disparate doors. One is low and wide for the daily entrance and the other is high and narrow for the guest entrance.

为了获得自然采光,同时保持住户的隐私,窗户根据其在立面上的位置不同,被房屋的外层隐藏和露出。因此,远离主街道的侧立面上的窗户往往更大、更暴露,而在主街道上的窗户则保持隐蔽和藏匿状态。

For the purpose of acquiring natural daylighting while maintaining the resident’s privacy, the windows are hidden and revealed by the outer layer of the house at varying degrees depending on their location on the elevation. Therefore the windows on the side elevation away from the main street tend to be larger and more exposed, while the ones on the main street remain hidden and tucked away.

室内空间引入了自然元素,如喷泉、石头和植物,材料的选择涵盖了大地色系和纹理,给人以宁静和温暖的感觉。例如,一楼的室内喷泉被引入到接待空间,作为接待区和起居室之间的声音和视觉缓冲,从而将公共和半公共空间彼此分开。

Natural elements were introduced to the interior spaces such as fountains, stones and plants and the material selection cover earthy tones and textures which gave the home a sense of serenity and warmth. For instance, the ground floor interior fountain was introduced to the reception space to behave as a sound and visual buffer between the reception area and the Living room therefor separating the public and semipublic spaces from one another.
