这座将场地一分为二的崭新双层楼里住着一对年轻夫妇，房屋周围有足够的空地，但
是建地却靠近临近的房子。因为面积的限制，住宅被做成双层楼，同时为了避开直接
面对对面的房屋，住宅被设计成圆形。圆形的住宅360度的享受着周围的花园，底层每
个单独的房间都有一道门通往庭院。

Sky-view ground floor, city-like top floor
“Deconstruction of a multi-floored architecture”

A site with a two-storied main house is split in half and a new house for a young couple
is going to be built on the vacant area.

Although there is enough space within the surrounding environment and there are no
approximate buildings, it is inevitable that the new house be built rather close to the
main house. In addition, a multi-floor living space was needed due to the limitation of the
site area.

Therefore, to avoid facing each other, a round shaped volume was chosen against the
corner of the square shaped volume of the main house. It was arranged so as to create
a valley-like space in between the two buildings spreading open towards the outside.
The round shape is set on an irregular shaped site, creating various shaped gardens
around it that can be shared with the main house. Each room on the first floor in the
round shaped building has a door that opens to the gardens.

（上图）外观，圆形体量有些像粮仓。

建筑巧妙的避开相邻建筑，享受四周的美景和上方天空。

小的卧室和浴室放置在一层，它们通过一个厅相联系。这些房间中除了卫生间，每间
又都有单独的楼梯间通往二层。二层是入口层，人们需要从室外上楼梯到二层，进入
建筑。二层高高的天花板上开着一些大小不一的天窗，这里十分明亮。空间就散布在
楼梯间的空隙处。空间像是在一个小镇的街道上，楼梯间则是街道上的建筑。楼梯间
上开了大小不一的窗户，因此一楼每个房间也都可以看见天空和沐浴从上至下倾泻的
阳光。这样设计的目的是希望这座多层的建筑突破楼层限制，人们在家中同时感受到
地面和天空。

多层建筑中常见的楼梯间不复存在，这里作为一个整体，各个空间相互关联与交叉，
从内到外，从楼上到楼下。楼层的概念消失了。功能与景观完美融合。

A number of small rooms and a bathroom are located on the first floor, and a single
large hall where everyone can gather is arranged on the second floor. Downstairs and
upstairs are relatively close by lowering the height of the slab (the upstairs floor) that lies
between the two floors, and therefore, the garden grounds can be seen even from the
center of the second floor through the enclosed staircases and downstairs rooms.

Entering through the entrance on the second floor, enclosed staircases are arranged
within the living room that is filled with natural light from a high ceiling; the enclosed
staircases look like slender structures of various heights. The space seems like being
on a street in a town, and makes you feel it is on the ground level although it is on the
upstairs of the multi-floor building.

Each of the four enclosed staircases connects to an individual room on the first floor.
When you look up at the open ceilings from the children’s room or the bedroom (inside
of the enclosed staircases) that almost reach the roof, the sky can be seen and natural
light pours down from skylights above the openings in the enclosed staircases. It was
intended with this house that a person be able to feel the ground and sky throughout,
though it is a multi-floored building.

Elimination of the discontinuity between multi-floor stairs that usually exists might result
in the unfolding of a united and continuous new living environment. By interrelating with
each area, including the outside, and by intersecting the living space from exterior to
interior and from upstairs to downstairs, the hierarchy between the first floor and the
second floor disappears and individual functions and sceneries mix together.

二层顶视，空间散布在楼梯间的空隙处

空间像是在一个小镇的街道上，楼梯间则是街道上的建筑

楼梯间上开了大小不一的窗户。无论在哪，人们都可以看见天空

街道上最大的空间是厨房与餐厅，其它空间井然有序

“小镇”

明亮温暖，沐浴倾泻而至阳光的“小镇”

从餐厅看向和室。街道上种植着各种植物

从楼梯间顶部往下看，视野通过二层，到达一层

楼梯间消解楼层，联系天空与地面
