建筑师提供的文字说明。黄铁矿住宅是一个私人住宅项目，将创新设计与结构灵活性混合，创造出一种灵感的生活空间。简言之，要创造一个空间，在那里，有3个家庭可以呆在一起，在拥有自己的私人空间的同时享受最好的社区生活。我们研究了相互联系的隐喻，并开始开发3个独立的卷，包围着一个中心的、受保护的庭院，这将成为房屋的核心。

Text description provided by the architects. Pyrite House is a private residential project, mixing innovative design with structural flexibility to create an inspired living space. The brief was to create a space where 3 families could stay together, enjoying the best of communal living while having their own private spaces. We looked into metaphors of inter-connectedness, and started developing 3 separate volumes enclosing a central, sheltered courtyard that would serve as the heart of the house.

那时我们遇到了黄铁矿晶体，其特征是它们相交的表面。我们在建造房子时采用了相交/相互连接的卷作为正式语言。3实心棱镜被楔入中央玻璃块。这三个棱柱是倾斜和交错，与棱柱之间的差距形成走廊和中庭空间。居住、就餐和厨房区域可以关闭，形成单独的、空调的空间。一旦连接，这些空间与中庭连接，形成一个广阔的公共空间。

That’s when we came across pyrite crystals, characterised by their intersecting facades. We adopted intersecting / inter-connecting volumes as our formal language in creating the house. 3 solid prisms are wedged into a central glass block. These 3 prisms are slanted and staggered, with the gaps between the prisms forming corridors and atrium spaces. The living, dining and kitchen areas can be closed off to form individual, air-conditioned spaces. Once connected, these spaces link with the atrium to form an expansive, communal space.

以棱镜形式播放，棱镜的尖端被折叠以产生更多的深度和投射阴影，从而提供阴影。我们还对棱镜之间的缝隙如何允许光线穿透、在阴影中产生有趣的形状和图案感兴趣。角窗也特别定位，以便捕捉来自南方的风，并提供全景视图。在所有窗口打开后，在“墙墙”中创建的空隙允许交叉通风。内部和外部空间的模糊也通知了本项目的设计。由于光淹没了中心心房区域，棱镜之间的遮挡空间可以经历伪室外空间。

Playing with the prismatic forms, the tips of the prisms are folded in to create more depth and cast shadows providing shade. We were also interested in how the slits between the prisms allow light to penetrate through, creating interesting shapes and patterns in the shadows. The corner windows are also specifically positioned in order to catch wind drafts from the south and provide panoramic views. Voids created at the party wall allow for cross ventilation once all the windows are opened. Blurring of interior and exterior spaces also inform the design of this project. With light flooding the central atrium area, the sheltered spaces in between prisms can be experienced as a pseudo-outdoor space.
