架构师提供的文本描述。塔楼是一个垂直生活的实验。一个400平方米的典型平房被挤成了6.5×12.5m的足迹，迫使该项目上升到5层，而不是沿着地面传播。尽管有堆叠的地板，该设计产生了居住在一所房子的经验，在整个区域的空间类型多样化。同时，它利用垂直移动的好处，有效率的有组织的服务，整个城市的景观，和更大的潜力，堆栈和交叉通风。

Text description provided by the architects. Tower House is an experiment in vertical living. A typical bungalow of 400 square meters is squeezed into a footprint of 6.5 x 12.5m, forcing the program up five stories rather than spread along the ground. Despite the stacked floors, the design generates the experience of living in a house, with a diversity of spatial types throughout its section. At the same time, it takes advantage of the benefits of moving vertically with efficiently organized services, views across the city, and greater potentials for both stack and cross ventilation.

一个混凝土框架提供骨架，而中央垂直循环允许开放的所有方面，和一个向外看每个房间的入口。墙壁包裹着室内空间，而阳台在每一层楼上移动，以开辟新的前景。房间作为口袋在更大的框架内处理，尽量减少对空调的需要，并保持与户外的连接。当阳台将一个角落的室外空间带入房间时，墙壁周围的穿孔窗户创造了一种亲密的体验，只有从坐着的位置才能看到保护得很深的景致。

A concrete frame provides the skeleton, while central vertical circulation allows openings on all sides, and an outward looking entry to every room. Walls wrap the interior spaces, while balconies move around on each floor to open new vistas. Rooms are treated as pockets within the larger framework, minimizing the need for air conditioning and maintaining the connection to the outdoors. While balconies bring a corner of outdoor space into the room, punched windows around the wall create an intimate experience, whose deeply protected view is found only from a seated position.

这一设计平衡了两种驱动力：一座房子，而不是一座塔楼；以及一座高效的、对气候有反应的建筑使用垂直度。中央楼梯，对两者都至关重要，是设计的核心。它组织服务，并将垂直运动作为房屋的一部分。每一个房间都是从它打开的，然后又向它移动。在第一层和第四层，玻璃板显示楼梯，并将其进一步包裹在房间内。作为一种被动冷却元件，半开放楼梯将空气吸入室内，而每个房间的通风则可通过打开窗户来控制。陶瓷雨幕过滤光线和屏蔽楼梯不受水，保护空间的隐私。

The design balances two driving forces: conveying a house not a tower, and using verticality for an efficient, climate responsive building. The central stair, critical for both, is the core of the design. It organises services and treats vertical movement as part of the house. Each room opens from it and moves back toward it. On first and fourth floors, glass panels reveal the stair and further envelop it inside the rooms. As a passive cooling element, the semi-open stair draws air through the house, while ventilation in each room can be controlled by opening windows. A ceramic rain screen filters light and shields the stair from water, protecting the privacy of the space.
