The building envelope of this three-storey residence is a pure square, constructed of a single material, cast-concrete. The sphere, the universal celestial form, in this case is transformed to its terrestrial expression in the shape of a square.
该3层住宅的总平是一个纯净的矩形，结构上就用了清水混凝土这一种材料。球体是天堂的形状，在这个方形的案例中，它被转换成为人间的形状。


Considering the socio-economic conditions of Dhaka, architectural vocabulary is kept simple, with traditional spaces like the courtyard, pond, ghat (steps to water) and ample Green to merge together urban and rural typologies in this urban context.
考虑到卡达的社会经济学条件，我们采用了简单的建筑语汇：传统的空间：像庭院，水池，台阶（步入水中的）和足够的绿化，它们在这个都市背景下把城市类型学和乡村类型学融合在一起。

The site is surrounded by multi-storied buildings as on-lookers. An introverted design strategy was hence adopted, placing a water-court as a swimming pond in the middle of the house to ensure privacy.
从鸟瞰上看，这个场所周围是多层的建筑。一种内敛的设计策略因此被运用在这里，我们把水庭院和游泳池一起安排在建筑的中部来确保隐私。

It is the inter-relationship between form and void which is at the heart of Lalon’s philosophy, the underlying inspiration for this building. The open quad at the center depicts Nothingness.
这是虚实之间的一种内在关系，是Lalon哲学的精髓所在，是建筑的一种潜在的灵气。在中心的开口代表着“无”。

The South and South-East have been designed to bring in cool breeze during the hot, humid summers and the warmth of the sun during the winters. The central water court acts as a natural exhaust system, allowing hot air to escape and making the middle court a cool sanctuary.
南面和东南的的设计是为了能在湿热的夏季引进凉爽的微分，在冬季又能接受温暖的阳光。中央水院扮演着自然换气系统的角色，它能让热空气散发从而使得水院取得凉爽的环境。
