架构师提供的文本描述。卡里姆住宅位于古尔山的一个角落，它的设计理念是将传统建筑技术与现代建筑技术结合起来。在建筑中使用的各种材料是和谐的协同，以创造一个平静，但好玩的纹理交响乐。“新”是用混凝土板来表达的，而“过去”则是用旧的手工砖块来象征的，从而创造了一种“展开时间”的感觉。该项目从多方面反映了我国建筑风格的变迁。

Text description provided by the architects. Located at a corner plot in Gulshan, the Karim residence was designed with the idea of merging traditional and contemporary building techniques. The variety of materials used in the building is harmoniously synergized to create a calm but playful symphony of the textures. ‘New’ was expressed by means of the concrete plate and the ‘past’ symbolized by old hand-made bricks, thus creating a sense of “unfolding time”. This project, in many ways, reflects transition of the building style in our country.

该遗址有416.7公制广场，西面的达卡营地景色秀丽。结合这些观点的优势和处理气候问题-这些在设计建筑形式方面发挥了重要的决定性作用。孟加拉国属热带季风气候，降雨季节变化大，气温高，湿度高。该地区的太阳在白天大部分时间向西倾斜。这个问题是由一个深悬的混凝土板来解决的，它包裹在整个西面的高地上，为热带太阳的强光提供了一个很深的阴影。在混凝土板上加入了播种机床，增加了结构的自然柔软性，并增加了隔热效果。这些种植床上挂起的爬行植物形成了一个自然的屏幕，每个季节都会变化，进一步遮挡室内空间。

The site measures 416.7 metric squares, with a beautiful view of the Dhaka cantonment on the west. Incorporating the advantage of the views and dealing with the climatic issue - these played a major decisive role in designing the form of the building. Bangladesh has a tropical monsoon climate characterized by wide seasonal variations in rainfall, high temperatures, and high humidity.Sun in this region is tilted towards the west for most of the daytime. The issue was addressed by a deep overhanging concrete plate, which wrapped around the entire west elevation, providing a deep shadow against the strong glare of the tropical sun. Planter beds are incorporated on the concrete plates, adding a natural softness to the structure, along with the added insulation against heat .The hanging creeper plants from these planter beds create a natural screen that changes with each season, further shading the interior spaces.

在西侧设有遮阳装置，白天室内空间有充足的无眩光照明。风一般从这个次大陆的东南方向吹来，这个项目的自然通风是由大而不间断的开放空间所保证的，南北两面都有阳台和大开口。所有主要房间的开口设计都是为了提供最佳的交叉通风。

Provided the shading device on the western side, there is abundant glare-free light in the interior spaces during the daytime. Wind generally flows from the south-eastern direction in this subcontinent, and natural ventilation in this project is ensured by large uninterrupted open spaces, with balconies and large openings on the north and south facades. The openings for all the major rooms are designed to provide optimum cross ventilation.

在规划过程中，设计团队将客户及其子女的生活方式内化，并在设计室内空间时考虑到他们的具体要求。由于这座建筑是为一个家庭设计的，所以北侧的阳台的设计方式是允许一个人与另一个人交流。孟加拉国的大多数建筑物都被围在一堵坚固的边界墙内，勾勒出地块。建筑师在设计建筑景观时放弃了这种方法，而是尝试在设计景观时增强共享社区空间的感觉。清澈的玻璃边墙让过路人欣赏到建筑物前院宁静的景色。屋顶花园是精心设计的，这样人们就可以享受在草地上散步的感觉，从而感受到接近自然的感觉。每层楼面的景观与屋顶花园一起，减少了混凝土板的吸热，从而隔离了下面的空间，并确保在炎热的夏季减少对电力的依赖。

While planning, the lifestyle of the client and her children were internalized by the design team, and their specific requirements were taken into account when designing interior spaces. Since the building is designed for a family, the balconies on the northern side were designed in a manner as to allow communication from one to the other. Most of the buildings in Bangladesh are enclosed within a solid boundary wall outlining the plots. This approach was discarded by the architects when designing the landscape of the building, and instead, an attempt was made to enhance the sense of shared community space when designing the landscape. Clear glass boundary walls allow the passer bys to enjoy the serene view of the front yard of the building. Roof-top garden had been carefully designed, so that one can enjoy the feeling of walking on grass and thus feel close to nature. The landscaping on every floor along with the roof garden reduces heat absorption by the concrete slabs, thus insulating the space below and ensuring less dependence on electricity for cooling in the hot summer season.

本项目秉承中国本土的建筑风格，同时又将当代全球风格融为一体，代表着一种新的建筑风格从传统根源上的出现。作为一个成功的实验和表达概念的例子，本项目对公寓建筑材料的设计和使用有了一条新的途径。

This project stays true to the architectural style native to this country and yet integrates the contemporary global style harmoniously, representing the emergence of a new building style from traditional roots. An example of successful experimentation and expression of concept, this project has a fresh approach towards apartment building design and use of materials.
