業主希望從家中得到一種真實的私有空間感,在空間的規劃過程中,設計師將諸如游泳池和花園這些傳統的外部空間元素內在化。通過空間的分區,例如將臥室和工人房分別置于二層和地下層,避免了地面層的墻體結構,使得公共空間和私人空間在同一平面上相互交錯。
該項目寬約25米,進深約48米,內部花園和梁柱的交織優美的銜接了門廳、游泳池、會客廳、內花園庭院以及正餐區,上下40米的景觀一覽無余。這些原本被認為應當是被包圍在建筑圍墻以內的設施,以一種從開放到私有的層次感體現著空間的整體性和它的內部導向。設計師巧妙地運用了建筑學的對稱學原理,將重要的功能區域放在房屋的中心線上,并將私密的空間安排在了遠離出入口的位置。

首層與庭院之間空間對室內的通風透光起著極其重要的作用。所有的庭院使用了不同的地面材料(水、草、花崗巖),因此它們的吸熱和保溫會有所不同。盡管不同的庭院之間會有溫差,但客廳、餐廳和泳池之間的開闊仿佛成了庭院之間的通風管道,與大陸和海風的形成原理非常相似。房屋內石墻的應用,使得室內的溫差非常小,同時也充當著庭院之間的空氣流通的巨大“導管”。二樓中可以手動調節角度的木百葉可允許人們根據需要調節微風量和日照度。而在一樓,大量格柵的應用使得進入到居住空間的陽光最小化。

這一設計手法的應用創造了更多的視覺空間,使得實際的空間在無形中得到放大,傳統的建筑空間規劃標準在本項目中并不適用。從環境論來說,臨近卻又不連接的空間手法保證了空氣的流通,不論風向如何,庭院都能幫忙產生對流的風。在這一寧靜的空間享受著徐徐的微風,斑駁的陽光,水池內的潺潺流水,一切城市的喧囂和繁忙都將煙消云散。

The client’s desire for the home to have a perception of substantial private space has resulted in the development of a spatial program that internalizes spaces such as pools and gardens normally regarded as external to the envelope of the house. By zoning spaces such as the bedrooms and servants' quarters on alternative levels, i.e. 2nd storey and basement levels, the ground plane is freed from walls that would have been required if public and private programs were interlaced on the same plane.

The site is approximately 25m wide by 48m deep, and because of the intermingling of internal gardens and column-free vistas, there is a continuous and unbroken visual depth of 40m that ties together the entrance foyer, swimming pool, formal living area, internal garden court and formal dining areas. These are perceived to be within the built enclosure of the house, yet a very obvious public to private hierarchy assists in the intangible zoning and spatial orientation within the house. This is simply achieved by classical use of symmetry, with important areas axial to the centre line of the house, and with increasingly private space implied by the distance from the main entrance.

The environmental transparencies at ground level and between courtyards are important in passively cooling the house. All the courtyards have differing material finishes and therefore differing heat gain and latency (water, grass, water, granite). As long as there are temperature differences between courtyards, the living, dining, and pool house become conduits for breezes that move in between the courtyards, very much like how land and sea breezes are generated. The use of thick masonry walls on either side of the house keep temperature gradients small within the house and also act as enormous ‘ducting’ in guiding air currents between courtyards. At the second storey, solid hardwood louvers that can be adjusted by hand allow the desired amount of breeze and sunlight to filter through. And at the 1st storey, substantial trellising minimizes sun entry into habitable areas.
The planning strategy releases substantial volumes of perceptual as well as tangible space that is normally not experienced if traditional architectural space planning norms are not reinterpreted in our local context. Environmentally, the contiguous and interconnected space encourage the slightest breezes, whether they are prevailing and therefore air-movement is horizontal, or convectionally circulated, which the courtyards help generate. For the owner, it is the experiential serenity that unencumbered space, a gentle breeze, dappled sunlight and the hush of water rippling on a pond that is priceless in our dense and busy urbanscape.
