架构师提供的文本描述。利他式住宅的主要设计特色在于，该地段坐落在一条狭窄的短街上，问题是：这条街上的一栋建筑如何能让它感觉越来越好？答案有两倍。首先，形式必须用水平线剥离，在视觉上拉长街道，并在邻近的建筑繁忙的高地之间提供一个视觉休息点；因此，标高被用宽框架的图案覆盖起来。第二，形式应该是抽象的。

Text description provided by the architects. The main design feature for Altruistic Residence centres on the fact that the lot sits on a narrow short street, the question was: how can a building on this street help make it feel better and bigger? The answer came in two folds. First, the form has to be stripped with horizontal lines to visually elongate the street and give a visual resting point amongst the neighbouring architecturally busy elevations; hence, the elevation was cladded with a pattern of wide frames. Second, the form ought to be abstracted.

为了抽象化主门面，所有熟悉的建筑元素，如主门和重复窗户，都被按照精心组合的框架替换成开口。然后，框架的语言在内部通过处理虚假天花板而得到回响，这就产生了光的框架。同样，调色板从外部包层延伸到内部空间。颜色从奶油色到沙质色调，反映了场地的沙漠性质。

In order to abstract the main facade, all familiar building elements such as a main door and repetition of windows were replaced with openings that follow carefully composed frames. The language of frames is then echoed in the interior through the treatment of the false ceiling, which resulted in frames of light. Similarly, the colour palette extends from the external cladding into the interior spaces. The colours range from creamy to sandy tones, reflecting the desert nature of the site.

他三层楼的每一层都有一套公寓，里面有一个起居空间、三个卧室和一个服务区。垂直循环核心分为两个入口，一个通过电梯作为主要流通方式，另一个通过服务楼梯，另外每个单元都有自己的室外空间。这些户外空间扩大了用户的视野，并在一个原本紧凑的街区提供了一个个人透气的外部空间。

Each floor in his three stories structure houses an apartment containing a living space, three bedrooms, and a service quarter. The vertical circulation core is split into two access points; one through the elevator acting as the main mode of circulation, and the other one is the service staircase.  In addition, each unit has its own outdoor space. These outdoor spaces expand the users’ views and give a personal breathable exterior place in an otherwise compact neighbourhood.
