The client of this project, working in an advertising agency as a graphic designer, acquired a piece of land on a hilltop with a good view-then requested the design of a residence with airiness and openness.




 

裸露的帶著木模版紋理的混凝土墻面同立面上的鍍鋅鋼板形成鮮明而不突兀的對照，營造了建筑有序的外觀。站在建筑外面，除了通過二層窗口——將建筑的木結構曝露出來——便無法窺見室內的情形。

走進木質的大門是入口庭院，每當夜晚降臨，庭院內燈光亮起，迎接主人的歸來。藝術品一樣的懸挑鋼結構樓梯位于入口的后方。柔和的光線穿過一級一級的臺階照亮了位于建筑里側、挨著衛生間的后院。一層所有的房間，都面朝內部的庭院開窗。緊挨著孩子的臥室的南側庭院內有一棵樹，也可看作是這座住宅的象征。




 

The exposed concrete finish wall with cedar form panel pattern and the galvanized steel panel of the building surface create a clear yet tranquil contrast, producing an orderly exterior appearance of the building. It is not possible to grasp the interior condition from the outside, except the part revealing the wooden structure of the building through a large opening.

Inside of the wooden gate door is the entrance court enclosed by the reinforced concrete wall, greeting the owner with its indirect illumination at night. Art piece-like staircase in cantilevered steel frame is situated behind the entrance door. The soft diffused light coming down from the grating illuminates the court space next to the bathroom located at the inner part of the building. All the spaces on the ground floor, including private room and bathroom, are facing toward the inner courtyard. Front facade is accentuated by a piece of Stewartia monadelpha tree planted in the outer courtyard of the child room, standing as the symbolic tree of this residence.




 

走上臺階，建筑墻體和天花板連為一體的結構逐漸暴露出來。由SPF木料和單板層積材構成的重復的三角形結構從地板開始，延續到墻面，天花板和檐口，構成三段式的折線。

位于二層的落地窗由四扇木質的推拉門組成，構成了高度開放的空間。樓梯的扶手由鋼化玻璃制成，更加凸顯了空間的通透。山墻上內置式的家具提供了包括廚房和起居在內的多種功能，白色的外表與空間的主色調形成對照。夜晚，當動感的建筑結構被內置的燈光照亮，營造了難以言表的空間氛圍。

By going up the staircase, the structural body unifying the walls and the ceiling of the second floor is gradually revealed. Repetitive triangular structures composed of SPF timber and laminated veneer lumber rise up from the floor to continuously form a column-free, shell-like space by integrating the wall, the ceiling and the eaves in three-stepped couplings.

The opening on the second floor consists of four large wooden sliding doors, achieving a highly open space, completed by the transparent banister with tempered glass for the balcony. Built-in furniture at the gable end contains multiple functionalities of the kitchen and the living areas, contrasting with the structural body by its white-color finish. Evening atmosphere is revealed when the dynamic structural body is illuminated by the indirect light of the built-in lighting fixed at various positions, providing a space beyond any description.
