作为老房子的隔壁邻居，这个项目一开始是一个景观项目，作为老房子的延伸，然后继续在隔壁建造一个全新的房子来提升老房子的地位。老房子有一个经典的建筑风格，拥挤在一起，缺乏绿色植物。我们没有重复老房子的设计，而是探索对比的想法，给新房子和它的用户一个完全不同的体验。出现的挑战是将一个地段的两座房子合并成一个和谐的统一体。融合木质材料和将白色纳入设计的想法是成为房子的主要概念。在两座房子之间新建的花园为老房子增加了一个立面区域和新的开口，以改善空气流通和吸引自然光。一些水景，如游泳池和锦鲤池被添加进来，在巴西火树的宁静遮蔽下创造出一种热带的氛围。

Situated as its next-door neighbor of the old house, this project started out as a landscape project as an extension of the old one and continued into building an entirely new house next door to elevate its old one. The old house has a classic style of architecture, that was crowded with masses and lack of greeneries. Instead of making duplication of the old house design, we explore the ideas of contrast to give the new house and its users a complete change of experience. The challenge that arises was to combine two houses in one lot into one harmonious unity. Ideas of fusing wood materials and the color white to be incorporated in the design were what became the main concept of the house. The newly built garden between the two houses added a facade area and new openings to the old house to improve air circulation and invites natural light. Some water features, such as a swimming pool and koi pond were added to create a tropics ambiance on top of the serene shading by the Brazilian fire tree.

新房子的外墙以当地采购的铁/木元素为主。在正面，以铁/木为主的新房子正对着经典的全白色老房子，创造了一个新与旧、经典与现代的视觉故事。利用位于二楼的坡道进行连接，仿佛说这是通往新房子的桥梁。两座房子的流通，通过花园和游泳池，在穿越时成为一种独特的体验本身。位于二楼的新房子的主要功能是公共区域、客厅和餐厅。结构柱被安排在房子外面，用15米长的不间断的玻璃隔断来实现更广泛的视觉意图。柱子本身被木质细节包裹着，与外面的花园形成无缝的融合。在一楼，位于一些私人功能区，如卧室、健身房，以及隐藏在连接桥下的服务区。从老房子到新房子的入口也有同样的概念，由锦鲤池中的水景和阶梯石带来的欢迎场景。

The new house facade was dominated by iron/wood elements that were locally sourced. On the front facade, the new house which was dominated by iron/wood was facing the classic all-old white house, creating a visual story of old and new, classic, and modern. Connected using the ramps located on the second floor, as if saying this was the bridge toward the new house. The flow of circulation of both houses, through the garden and the swimming pool, became a distinct experience itself while crossed. The main function of the new house, located on the second floor, was communal areas, living, and dining rooms. The structural column was arranged to be outside of the house, to achieve wider visual intention with 15 meters long uninterrupted glass partition. The column itself was wrapped with wood details, to create a seamless merging with the garden outside. On the first floor, located some private functions, such as bedrooms, a gym, and a service area that is hidden underneath the connecting bridge. The entrance from the old to the new house had the same concept and was brought by a water feature and steppingstone in the koi pond as a welcome scene.

在室内设计中也应用了一些对比，在卡拉拉大理石、天花板上的深色木格子和天然石墙之间使用了明暗对比，以达到相互平衡。玻璃天窗也是新房子的特色，用更多的自然阳光来突出石头包覆的墙壁。最终的结果是，这个新房子成为了业主新的和谐的延伸，而没有完全忽略他们以前的老房子。

Some contrast was also applied in the interior design, using light and dark between Carrara marble, dark wood lattice on the ceiling, and natural stone walls to balance one another. Glass skylight also featured in the new house, highlighting the stone cladding walls with more natural sunlight. The end result, this new house became a new harmonious extension to the owners, without completely ignoring their old and previous house.
