Park + Associates：通常一个住宅最重要的部分是房子前面的空间，但在我们这个项目中却不是这样，24住宅所在基地是一个三角形的地块，这就是一个硬性约束条件，不过我们正好可以借此机会真正参与住宅的选址和规划，创造一个有意义的设计，帮助客户实现其空间、功能和隐私需求。而且，该基地旁边是一块绿意盎然的公共土地，所以我们可以尽力利用每一个可用的机会和可居住的空间。

Park + Associates：In a usual circumstance, the front of the house is the most important – not in our case. House 24 is sited on a triangular plot, a constraint that we took on as an opportunity to really engage with the siting and planning of the house – to achieve a meaningful footprint that actualised the client’s spatial, functional, and privacy requirement. Moreover, the site adjoins a lushly landscaped state land that we endeavoured to take advantage of at every available opportunity and every habitable space.

我们把房子选址在远离主干道和邻近住宅的地方，让其生活空间面向远处郁郁葱葱的绿色植物，并创建了一个由两个体块组成的建筑，这两个组合在一起的体块，在一楼形成了一个V形庭院，它作为住宅的主要公共活动和娱乐空间，其主要景观来自周围的绿色植物。

As such, we turned the house away from the main road and neighbouring houses, and instead have the living spaces open out to the mature greenery beyond. The result is a massing comprising of two blocks which, when combined, define a V-shaped patio on the first floor that becomes the focal point of common activities and entertainment, borrowing views from the surrounding greenery.

面向街道的庭院屏风是对传统住宅进入顺序的一种重新思考，也是一种对创造更多层次和连续体验的探索。它作为一个仪式体验空间，标志着公共和私人空间之间的过渡，静谧又安宁。

The courtyard screen fronting the street is an exercise in rethinking the conventional entry sequence of residential dwellings, and an exploration in creating a more layered and sequential experience. It is experienced almost as a ritual space – serene and tranquil – marking the transition between the public and private.

该屏风也是我们探索木材工艺在当代建筑中的意义的机会。我们事先预想中的屏风是一个具有现代美学和细节的精致元素，最终呈现出的是一个精致有节奏的立面，即使是一个超过8米高的结构，也吸引了人们对其精致尺度的关注。每天不同时间段渗透进来的阳光都会产生不同的美丽光影，并伴随着流入的自然空气，为用户营造出一个轻松的氛围，同时也强化了客户所憧憬的热带地域特色。

It was also an opportunity to explore what timber craftsmanship might mean in contemporary architecture, and we envisioned the screen to be a well-crafted element with modern aesthetic and detailing. It eventually manifested itself as a refined and rhythmic facade, drawing attention to its delicate scale even as a structure that is over 8m high. A delightful pattern of light and shadow plays out over the course of each day whilst allowing sunlight to filter in and natural air to stream in, creating a relaxing ambience that reinforces the client’s desire to live in a home that reflected its tropical locality.
