‘Baan Rim Kao’是一个家庭住宅，业主希望在同一物业内开设一家咖啡店和一所音乐学校。该遗址位于一条15米宽的麦高运河旁(从泰国清迈的梅平河出发)，上面有十多棵大树。在周围树木和水的启发下，建筑师认为应该有一个独特的方式到达房子。因此，一个典型的客厅前门被一间花园房所取代，它把居民引到房子里的各个空间。

‘Baan Rim Kao’ is a family home where the owner wished to open a coffee shop and a music school within the same property. The site is located next to a fifteen meters wide Mae-Kao canal, (the sub-canal from Mae-Ping river of Chiang Mai, Thailand) with more than ten large trees on the site. Inspired by the surrounding trees and water, the architect believed that there should be a unique way to reach the house. As such a typical front door to the living areas was replaced by a garden-room that leads its inhabitants to various spaces in the house.

 Floor Plan

建筑师把房子分成两卷，以避免现存的大树。以园林和现有的树木为重点，中央花园房间成为交叉花园。这条狭长的入口通道立刻打开，从他们一踏进房子的那一刻起，就把一条通道引到了地产后面的运河。这个游戏创造了一个直接的影响，从财产的一端到运河的视觉连接。

The architect arranged the house into two volumes to avoid the existing large trees. By considering the garden and existing trees as the main focus, the central garden room becomes the crossing garden. The long, narrow entry path instantly opens up and leads one to the canal at the rear of the property from the moment they step into the house. This play creates a direct impact on the visual connection from one end of the property through to the canal.

通过将一个花园改造成一个主要的交叉花园/庭院，取代传统的进入房子的方式，这个地方就成为了进入其他房间之前的起点。咖啡厅位于酒店的前部，方便游客进入。这个大容量也被设计成一个大屏幕，将业主的隐私与主要街道隔开。

By converting a garden into the main crossing garden/courtyard that replaces the conventional way of entering a house, this place becomes the starting point before diverting to other rooms. The coffee shop is placed at the front of the property to be easily accessible to visitors. This large volume is also designed as a large screen that separates the owners’ privacy from the main street.

从泰国运河沿线传统社区的灵感，到通过揭示和切割运河景观所创造的各种角度空间，作为关键策略。

受泰国沿运河的传统社区的启发，根据每个家庭的功能，形成了各种屋顶斜坡的层层。因此，靠近水的土地宽度通常是最短的维数，这成为最大限度地利用这一观点的挑战。建筑师解决了这个问题，将每一卷书从其主轴转移，并安排每一个房间，以获得与水的视觉连接。

Inspired by the traditional communities situated along canals in Thailand, the layers of various roof slopes are formed according to the function of each household. As a result, the land width next to the water is normally the shortest dimension which becomes a challenge to maximise this view. The architect resolves this problem by diverting each volume from its main axis and arranging every room so as to gain a visual connection to the water.

咖啡厅是一个单一的低层，以允许一个更高的海拔在运河末端，最大限度的景观。远离水的区域通常保持在较低的位置，以允许视觉上的隐私进入生活小区，这是一个L形的平面图。L的较高一侧位于离水最远的地方，并在较低的体积之上获得视图。

The coffee shop is a single level low rise to allow a higher elevation at the canal end that maximises views. The area away from the water is generally kept low to allow visual privacy to the living quarter which is arranged as an L-shape floor plan. The higher side of the L is located the furtherest from the water and gains views above the lower volume.

每个建筑的体积都使用切片技术来消除墙壁的遮挡，让每个房间都能看到水。因此，一个两侧长度独特的梯形形成了有趣的阁楼空间。这也形成了迷人的阴影，通向中央庭院和运河的宁静空间。(鼓掌)

Each building volume uses a slicing technique to eliminate walls that block views, allowing every room to see the water. As a result, a trapezoid with a unique length to each side creates interesting attic spaces. This also forms captivating shadows leading to the tranquil spaces of the central courtyard and canal.
