架构师提供的文本描述。实际上，我们是由我们的朋友推荐给客户的，他们也是建筑师，但他们太忙了，无法自己承担这些工作。客户已经开始建造这所房子，但过了一段时间，他们开始寻找另一位设计师/建筑师，将该项目提升到一个新的水平，并实现客户所设想的新想法。

Text description provided by the architects. We were actually recommended to the clients by our friends who are also architects but were too busy to take on the jobs themselves. The clients had already started building the house  but after a while they  had started to  search for another Designer/Architect to take the project to a new level and achieve the new ideas the clients had envisioned.

客户早期的房子是在热带巴厘岛度假胜地建造的，大约15年前很受欢迎。对于这座新房子来说，客户们想要的是不同的东西，所以他们试图在目前流行的生/工业风格中建造房子，有着漂亮的脸、混凝土和漂亮的墙面元素。但客户(尤其是李船长)也对复古和复古有着浓厚的亲和力。他在中国工作，因此获得了许多复古产品。他甚至还带了一辆带侧车的老式俄罗斯摩托车！

The clients' earlier house was built in the Tropical Balinese resort look which was popular about 15  years ago.   For the new house, the clients wanted something different so they attempted to build the  house in the  currently popular raw/industrial look with fair face concrete and fair face brick wall elements.   But the clients (Captain Lee in particular) also had an affinity of all things retro and vintage. He was based in China for work and thus had access to a lot of retro products. He even brought back a vintage World War II Russian  motorbike with side car!

因此，他们希望房子有一个相当复古的主题(或主题，因为它原来！)我们见过面，带着客户去看我们正在进行的一些项目，我们很合得来！

So they wanted the house to  have a fairly retro theme (or themes as it turned out!) to it, especially for the interiors.  We met, took the clients to see some of our ongoing projects and we hit it off!

当我们被带进来的时候，房子的结构已经很完整了-所有的混凝土结构，屋顶和大部分墙壁都已经完工了。这些窗户还没装好-它们是从中国运来的！-这位客户在中国订购和制造的双层玻璃窗和门窗质量真的很好，并被送到马来西亚，由这里的主要承包商安装。我们还去了广州，与供应商会面，看看我们还能从那里得到哪些其他很酷的建筑材料/部件。

When we were brought in, the house was already complete structurally – all the concrete structure, roof and most walls were done. The windows were not in yet – they were enroute from China! - the client  had really good quality double glazed windows and doors ordered and manufactured in China and sent to Malaysia to be installed by the main contractor here.  We made a trip to Guangzhou as well to meet up with the supplier and check out what other cool building materials/ components we could get from there.

我们必须对整个房子进行评估，如果可能的话，尽量不要改变太多，除非真正有必要让空间更好地运转。客户已经聘请了一位厨房专家来整理干湿厨房。我们重新审视了所有的空间，调整了一些墙壁，重新设计了整个电气和照明布局，重新设计了所有浴室，并提出了额外的元素，如栏杆、屏风、镶板、定制灯和其他建筑设备。

We had to assess the house as a whole, if possible try not to change too much unless it was really necessary to make the spaces work better.  Clients had already engaged a kitchen specialist to sort out the dry and wet kitchens. We re-looked at all the spaces, adjusted some walls here and there, redid the entire electrical and lighting layouts, redesigned all the bathrooms, and also proposed additional elements such as railings, screens, panelling, custom lights and other architectural devices.

这个项目真正最好的部分是我们有非常古怪的客户(！)谁喜欢这么多不同的东西和任何东西都是可能的！而且，客户可以从中国获得相当异国情调的零部件，而且制造成本相当低廉，这使得它更有吸引力！

The really best part of this project was we had really quirky clients(!!) who like so many different things and anything could be possible!  And the fact that the clients had access to getting fairly exotic components sourced and manufactured quite inexpensively from China made it all the more appealing!

这套房子本身没有一个真正的基本概念，但最终客户选择了房子的不同部分/区域。房子的设计也是由我们和客户之间的想法和讨论演变而来的。无论是客户还是我们都会遇到一些有趣的东西-比如我们在杂志/网上看到的东西，或者他们在中国的一家商店里看到的东西。我们会开始互相发照片，就像“这太酷了！”让我们这样做！-这就是设计过程！

There was no one real underlying concept per se for this house but the client ended up themeing different parts/areas of the house.  The design of the house also evolved from ideas and discussions going back and forth between us and the client.  Either the clients or us would come across something  interesting – like something we saw in a magazine/online or they in a shop in china ,and we'll start sending pics to each other and be like “this is cool!!! lets do this!!!”  - that's pretty much the design process!!!

有趣的是，这所房子实际上可以把这一切的多样性和欢欣鼓舞。它变成了一座内容非常丰富的房子。

The interesting thing is, the house could actually take the variety and ecclecticness of it all. It became a house  which was very rich in content.

 First Floor Plan

一层平面图

一楼的室外酒廊和酒吧，被客户认为是香港殖民地和古典主题的结合。竹帘的黑白间隔描绘了马来西亚殖民时期的影响，而定制的几何瓷砖和对称的中国栏杆则影响了休息室三面的黑线。客户设法把旧理发椅作为吧台的凳子，我们把他现有的一个陈年橱柜重新装进了酒吧橱柜。

The first floor outdoor lounge and bar, was  envisioned by the clients as a marriage of both colonial and classical Hong Kong themes . The black and white intervals of the bamboo blinds portrays the colonial influences in Malaysia , whilst custom cut geometrical ceramic tiles and symmetrical Chinese influenced railings in black lines three sides of the lounge. The client managed to source for old barber chairs as the bar stools and we re-jigged an existing vintage cabinet he had into a bar cabinet.

顶层的设计灵感来源于米斯·范德罗(Mies Van Der Rohe)的巴塞罗那馆，我们想出了一个主意，用巴塞罗那馆里标志性的石灰华制作他的衣柜门板，这样它们就成了房间的背景。经过设计和吸收材料，它证明是太昂贵和复杂的壮举。所以我们决定刮一下这个主意。

The top floor was orignally inspired to look like Mies Van der Rohe's Barcelona Pavilion and we had the idea to actually make his wardrobe door panels  out of the  signature travertine used in the Barcelona Pavilion so they became the backdrops to the rooms. After developing the design and sorucing the material, it turned out to be too expensive and complicated a feat. So we decided to scrape the idea.

李船长后来在中国遇到了一个衣柜供应商，他可以在衣柜门上印出全尺寸的图案，所以他那时就有了在衣橱门上打印定制图案的想法！因此，孩子们对音乐的热爱最终恰如其分地体现在衣柜里，里面有两个伟大的音乐传奇人物的大剪影-吉米·亨德里克斯和吉姆·莫里森！我们挖掘并编辑了图像，以适应我们发送到中国，以供制作。安装工作是由当地的内部承包商在这里完成的。

Captain Lee then came across a wardrobe supplier in China who could print full size graphics on  wardrobe doors so thats when he got the idea of printing custom graphics on them! So in the end the children's love for music was aptly represented by these built in wardrobes with large silhouettes of the two great music legends - Jimi Hendrix and Jim Morrison!! We dug up and editted the images to suit which we sent to China to be fabricated. The installations were done here by the local interior contractor.

主浴室屏幕在前面实际上是概念化了很久，作为一个面和相当有机形成的皮肤周围的主浴室。它被推迟，并被推到结束，因为成本，也因为客户想要优先搬进房子第一。所以屏幕是最后被安装的东西。我们不得不对设计进行多次修改，直到我们想出一个适合客户预算的设计。它变成了一个钢框架结构，覆盖着彩色的水泥板。当它完成的时候-我们都很兴奋！它看起来真的像沙爬虫的一部分(贾瓦的移动家塔图因从星球大战)。它也真的看起来像我们包住了房子的铁皮钢！这是我们的特色菜之一-我们可以使廉价的材料看起来非常昂贵！

The main master bathroom screen at the front was actually conceptuallized a lot earlier as a facetted and fairly organic formed skin around the master bathroom. It was delayed and pushed to end due to costs and also because the client wanted to prioritise moving into the house first. So the screen was the last thing to end up being installed. We had to revise the design many times until we came up with a design that suited the clients' budget. It became a steel framed structure, clad with stained cement board. When it was complete  - we were all so excited! It really looked like part of the Sandcrawler (the Jawas' mobile home in Tatooine from Star Wars). It also really looked like we clad the house with corten steel! That's one of our specialities -  we can make inexpensive material look really expensive!!!

这座玻璃桥将一楼的露台与主卧室和游泳池边的外部浮动台阶连接起来。从入口门厅往上看，桥上结霜的玻璃板透着阴暗的轮廓。

The glass bridge links the 1st floor terrace towards the master bedroom and the external floating steps from the poolside. Looking above from the entry foyer , frosted glass panels over the bridge permeates shadowy silhouettes.

最初的裸混凝土螺旋楼梯安装了黄铜镶嵌，并包裹着薄的前人造板的栏杆和细棒，其中有几个向下的灯。

70年代的上海肥皂剧场景决定了整个房子的几个显著的元素，主要是车道全高度旋转青铜镶板，休息室栏杆。元素被包覆/用青铜制成，与未加工的饰面和黑色的轮廓形成鲜明的对比。

70's Shanghai soap opera scenes dictates several notable elements across the house , mainly the driveway full height swivel bronze panelling, the lounge railings .The elements are clad/ built in bronze creates a contrasting palate against the raw finishes and black profiles

从马来西亚的旧商店房子里借来的元素，从库房和儿童卧室地板的折叠金属滑动门/滑动架，到“V”字形栏杆，这些栏杆在房子的各个角落都有突出的特色。

Elements from the old Malaysian shop houses are borrowed, from the folding metal sliding doors /sliding grills of the storeroom and children's bedroom floor to the "V" profile railings that's prominently featured across the house.

 Second Floor Plan

二层平面图

外门元素，特别是主门和侧门是根据电影“了不起的盖茨比”中的场景与装饰艺术元素设计的。对称而复杂的线条打破了“齐古拉”周边墙的整体外观。

External door elements , the main and side gates in particular were designed from scenes from the movie “The Great Gatsby” with Art Deco elements. Symmetrical intricate lines that breaks the monolithic outlook of the " ziggurat"perimeter walls.

家具包括客户多年来从巴厘岛和中国购买的私人古董收藏品、几件古怪的适应性可重复使用的家具件和一系列定制家具，这些家具使我们回到了美国50年代(深受麦德曼电视剧的启发)。

Furniture comprised of the clients' private antique collections acquired throughout the years from Bali and China, several quirky adaptive reused furniture pieces and a series of custom made furniture that takes us back to the American 50's era (heavily inspired by Madmen tv series)

薄轮廓树软化户外硬景，与蹦床在后面的孩子们有乐趣的锻炼！

Thin profile trees softens the outdoor hardscape, with a trampoline at the rear for the children's to have fun exercise !

三种不同的地板装饰创造了每个楼层的视觉分隔。低地是印度绿色，第一层是罗莎·莱万托，二楼是水泥地板。

Three different floor finishes creates a visual separation of each floor. India green for the lower grounds, rosa levanto for the first and cement flooring for the 2nd floor.

我们试着尽可能多地采用自然交叉通风，但在一些地区，尤其是楼上的房间，我们在订婚时都订购了玻璃和窗户。幸运的是，它们是双层玻璃板，所以房间里的热量并没有那么大的增加。公共区域和底层都有很好的自然通风。高高的天花板，中央庭院和负载的玻璃在自然照明方面有所帮助。

We tried to incorporate as much natural  cross ventilation as possible but were unable to at some areas especially the rooms upstairs as the glazings and windows were all ordered and fabircated in china when we were engaged.  Luckily they were double glazed panels so the heat gain was not so drastic in the rooms. The common areas and ground floor are all very well natural ventilated.  The high ceilings, central courtyard and  loads of glazing help in terms of natural lighting.
