架构师提供的文本描述。英江花园是新加坡典型的三层半独立住宅，占地面积约300平方米。在这座半独立式的私人住宅里，一间铺着木料的立面迎接着来访者。这所房子通向旁边的花园，有木材、甲板和膝池。楼梯在房子中央打开，一个椭圆形的天窗给这个空间带来了光。楼梯把房子分成两卷，前面是起居室、餐室、家庭室、卧室和休息室，后面是干湿厨房、书房、卧室、主卧室。

Text description provided by the architects. Eng Kong Garden is a typical 3-storey semi-detached house in Singaporewith a site area of about 300sqm. A timber-clad facade greets the visitor to this private semi-detached house. The house opens upon to the side garden with its timber deck and lap pool. The staircase opens up in the middle of the house and an elliptical skylight brings in light to this space. The staircase splits the house in two volumes; the front houses the Living, Dining, Family Room, Bedroom and Lounge, while the back houses the Dry and Wet kitchen, Study, Bedrooms, Master Bedroom.

 Floor Plan

意识到邻居的房子离我们只有一箭之遥，沿着边立面的墙有一堵白色的大墙，上面有一条木质板条走廊，可以俯瞰下面的游泳池。这堵墙延伸到第二层楼以下，构成花园和膝上池的框架。这样，邻居家的视野就保持在最低限度。正面的垂直木条形成一个精致的屏风环绕着生活空间，为居民提供了一些乐趣和一定程度的隐私。

Aware of the fact that the neighbour’s house is just a stone’s throw away, the wall along the side elevation features a large solid white wall, with a timber slatted corridor which looks down to the pool below. This wall extends below the second story floor, framing the view of the garden and the lap pool. The view into the neighbour’s house is thus kept to a minimum. Vertical timber strips on the front façade form a delicate screen around the living spaces, providing some delight and a measure of privacy for its inhabitants.

虽然室内空间在早晨被公众视线所遮蔽，但当室内灯光穿过立面上的木条之间的缝隙时，它们在夜间变得清晰可见，这是一种视觉上的愉悦。三楼有一间休息室，通往屋顶露台。具有不同宽度和高度的开放式架子反映了正面的设计，这也使其木材构件向边缘的宽度减小。

While interior spaces are mostly obscured from public view in the morning, they become visible at night as the interior lighting passes through the gaps between the timber strips on the façade, which is a visual delight. The 3rd storey has a lounge room which opens to the roof terrace. An open shelf with varying widths and heights reflect the design of the front facade, which also has its timber members reducing in width towards the edges.
