架构师提供的文本描述。一座多代住宅，构思和表现为其居民传统价值观的现代愿望的融合。该网站位于一个居民区密集的城市结构内，需要仔细考虑房屋的聚集情况，以保持其隐私和开放性。

Text description provided by the architects. A multi generation house conceived and manifested as a blend of modern aspirations of traditional values of its inhabitants. Situated within a dense urban fabric of a residential colony, the site demanded careful consideration of the house massing to maintain its privacy and openness.

房子的实物，顾名思义，是在一个立方体的体积内合并而成的，留下三分之一的土地供景观美化。它的组成部分也坚持这种固有的几何在不同的尺度，同时遵循的学科气候设计。这种形式向北和向东级联，形成台阶，最大限度地利用自然日光。与这些梯田相辅相成的是南面和西面的凸起的地块，这使得露台保持在阴凉处。这样的安排使房子能够向其内部空间提供绿色景观的美化区域开放。(鼓掌)

The physical from of the house as its name suggests is conglomerated and articulated within a single cubic volume leaving one third of the land open for landscaping. Its components also adhere to this inherent geometry at various scales while following disciplines of climatic design. The form cascades down towards the north and the east resulting into stepping terraces maximizing natural daylight. Complementing these terraces are the raised blocks on the south and the west which keeps the terraces in the shade. Such an arrangement allows the house to open itself towards its landscaped areas offering green vistas from the internal spaces.

住宅大楼包括多个起居区、五间卧室和一个带家庭影院、健身房和水疗中心的娱乐区。房子的心脏是双容量家庭空间，附属于一个亲密的开放庭院。庭院的透明性质使其大地板上的视觉连接畅通无阻。楼梯和电梯竖井将所有楼层的私人卧室空间、社交生活空间和娱乐生活空间分隔开来。因此，楼梯在房子的整体运动中起着关键的作用。加强楼梯是互动的，动态的屏幕，给楼梯用户带来欢乐。这个旋转的木板屏风遮住了楼梯，形成了一个高的背景，为双音量家庭空间。每间卧室都以露台或阳台的形式享受一个扩展的开放或半开放空间，增强了空间的体验和房间内的交叉通风。

The residence edifices multiple living areas, five bedrooms and an entertainment zone with a home theatre, gym and a spa. The heart of the house is the double volume family space attached to an intimate open courtyard. The transparent nature of the courtyard allows unobstructed visual connections across its large floor plate. The staircase and the lift shaft segregate the private bedroom spaces, social living and recreational lifestyle spaces across all floors. Hence the staircase plays a pivotal role in the overall movement in the house. Enhancing the staircase is the interactive and dynamic screen bringing joy to the stair users. This rotating timber planked screen veils the staircase and forms a tall backdrop for the double volume family space. Each bedroom relishes an extended open or semi open space in the form of a terrace or a balcony enhancing the experience of the space and the cross ventilation within the rooms.

其中一个关键的户外空间是‘巢穴’。为二楼最年轻的一代设想的用于非正式户外活动的空间。作为健身房的延伸，“巢穴”被柔和的钢格子包裹着，它过滤了阳光，根据阳光路径创造了有趣的阴影。栅格的旋转和满足地板的连续性，并确定了洞穴的体积。它就像顶在房子上的王冠。它的视觉存在从一个从街道水平感知到的沉重的质量转变为来自邻近梯田的透明膜。

One of the key outdoor space is the ‘den’. A space conceived for the youngest generation of the family on the second floor for informal outdoor activities. An extension to the gym, the ‘den’ is wrapped by the mild steel trellis that filters the sunlight creating an interesting play of shadows depending on the sun path. The trellis turns and meets the floor in continuity and defines the volume of the den. It sits as a crown over the house. Its visual presence changes from being a heavy mass as perceived from the street level to a transparent membrane from the neighboring terraces.

大胆对比的外部完成，如刷色石灰灰泥和纹理油漆定义了不同的体积，带来了新的活力感的邻居。红色石灰华在复合墙和景观特征上的使用，不仅增强了用户体验，而且使街道恢复了活力。内部材料调色板是用于特定空间的各种材料的融合。在这种混合调色板中，柚木在楼梯、桥梁、内门和双高屏风中的广泛使用，传达了室内的温暖。石灰抹灰天花板上有外露的混凝土饰面，定义了所有内部空间的统一特征。(鼓掌)

The bold contrasting external finishes such as brushed colored lime plaster and texture paints define the different volumes bringing a new sense of vibrancy in the neighborhood. The use of red travertine on the compound wall and landscape features not only enhance the user experience but also rejuvenates the street. The internal material palette is an amalgamation of various materials used in specific spaces. Within this mixed palette the extensive use of teak timber in staircase, the bridge, internal doors and the double height screen conveys the warmth within the house.  The lime plastered ceiling with exposed concrete finish defines the uniform character of all internal spaces.

最后，“立方体屋”不是一个单一的块，而是通过一个立方体的演变来实现的，以响应上下文和项目的简短，散发出清晰和简单。

To conclude ‘The Cube House’ is not a monolithic block but rather a composition achieved through the evolution of a cube in response to the context and the project brief exuding clarity and simplicity.
