土地和场地的挑战

THE CHALLENGE OF THE LAND AND SITE

虽然这片土地北临高尔夫球场，但在圣淘沙湾开发的边缘地带却是一片极具挑战性的狭长地带。

While the land faces the golf course to the north, it is nonetheless a challenging long and narrow strip of land at the fringes of sentosa cove development.

他们的任务是设计一系列的“露台屋”，面向南面的主干道和北面的高尔夫球场。由于这片土地也起伏，面临的挑战也是设计一个2层的分层开发项目，其中有一条共用的地下室车道和通道。

The task was to design a series of 'terrace-houses' fronting the main road to the south and the golf course to the north. As the land was also undulating and hilly, the challenge was also to design a 2-story strata development with a common basement driveway and access.

当局任务的挑战

THE CHALLENGE OF AUTHORITIES MANDATE

圣淘沙湾开发指导方针对挫折、屋顶的形状和形式以及可以使用的材料和颜色实行管制。所面临的挑战是在这些准则和建筑设计的审美意图之间进行调解和平衡。

Sentosa cove development guidelines impose regulatory control over setbacks, shape and form of roof, as well as materials and colours that can be used. The challenge was to mediate and balance between these guidelines and the aesthethic intentions of the architectural design.

意识形态与美学的挑战

THE CHALLENGE OF IDEOLOGY AND AESTHETICS

其目的是设计另一种类型的建筑，作为对圣淘沙流行美学标准的视觉对比。设计动作保持在最低限度的正面被降低到墙壁和后方简化为皮肤，材料和颜色也保持简单，以提供统一和秩序。从意识形态上讲，这座建筑被认为是对现有物理环境的“背靠背”，有较少的移动，但有更大的移动。

The intent was to design an alternative type of architecture as a visual counterpoint to the prevailing standards of aesthetics in sentosa. Design moves were kept to a minimum where the front facades are reduced to wall and the rear simplified to skin, materials and colours were also kept simple to provide for uniformity and order. Ideologically, the architecture was conceived as a 'back-drop' to the existing physical environment, with a less moves but bigger moves.
