架构师提供的文本描述。从客户那里得到的这位简洁的设计师是为了像任何普通住宅一样的功能空间，虽然他们真正喜欢的是方形的现代风格的房子，但他们要求里面不应该太热。尽管土地的可用空间有限，但客户仍然想要一个大的绿色植物区，以及一栋带有遮阳和防雨设施的现代住宅。这对建筑师来说是最具挑战性的部分，他要以一种适合泰国炎热潮湿气候的方式来配置现代建筑语言。

Text description provided by the architects. The brief designer received from the client was for functional spaces like any normal house, though what they really liked were square, modern style house, but they asked that it should not be hot inside.  Even though the usable space of the land is limited, but the client still wanted a large greenery area to enjoy, as well as a modern house with sun shades and rain protections. This is the most challenge part for the architect, who was to configure the modern language of architecture in a way that would suit the hot and humid climate of Thailand.

YAK 01的建筑语言受泰国传统房屋布局和空间的启发。底层是泰国传统的住宅设计，中央庭院作为特色门厅和分配器，然后进入主要的居住空间。

The architectural language of YAK01 house was inspired by the traditional Thai house layout and space. The ground floor is arranged as a Thai traditional house design with a central courtyard that functions as a feature foyer and distributor before accessing to the main living space.

顺便说一句，设计师不想走泰国传统住宅设计的老路，设计师有一种与上述公式完全不同的形式，并证明了一个问题不一定通过传统的方式就有了正确的答案。

By the way, the designer does not want to follow all of the well-trodden path of the traditional Thai house design, Designer has a completely different form to the aforementioned formula and proves that a problem does not necessarily have just on right answer by following the traditional way.

第一个挑战是相对较小的地点，它的形状接近一个矩形，其狭窄的边面向西和东。将所需的功能空间扩展到一层将填满整个场地，这意味着没有空地和通风不良，因此AAD建造了一座两层楼高的建筑，建筑质量位于场地的南侧，以便在北侧尽可能多地开辟空间，建造一个花园。

The first challenge was the relatively small site in a shape close to a rectangle, with its narrow sides facing West and East. Spreading the required functional spaces over one floor would fill up the whole site, meaning there would be no open spaces and poor ventilation, AAd thus made a two-story building, with the building mass placed along the Southern perimeter of the site, in order to open up as much space as possible on the northern side for a garden.

第二个挑战是：在现代主义的幌子下，AAD打算从现代建筑词汇中创造出泰国空间，使气候的需求与当代泰国生活方式的需求相协调。总的来说，这座房子是试图用设计师自己的新公式回答古老问题的结果。令人感兴趣的是，他挑战既定的惯例，并尝试其他答案，即使结果不是最完美的，但至少YAK 01宫是他自己的答案，来自他自己的搜索，而没有求助于那些既定的规范。

The second challenge was: Behind the guise of modernism, lies AAd’s intention to create Thai spaces out of modern architectural vocabulary, to reconcile the demands of the climate with those of the contemporary Thai lifestyle. On the whole, this house is the result of trying to answer age-old questions with designer’s own new formulas. The interest lies in the fact that he challenged the established routine and experimented for other answer, even if the result is not the most perfect one, but at the least YAK01 house is his own answer, born out of his own search, without recourse to those well-established norms.

这所房子所用的所有材料都是完全现代化的：异形混凝土、金属、玻璃和铝.结构构件由钢筋混凝土制成，而顶层的屋顶则由填充隔热和隔音的金属片制成。对于底层，平混凝土屋顶有一层砾石，以防止热量进入建筑物。

All materials used in this house are thoroughly modern: off-form concrete, metal, glass and aluminium. The structural elements are made of reinforced concrete while the roof on the top floor is made from metal sheets filled with heat and acoustic insulation. For the ground floor, the flat concrete roof has a layer of gravel to prevent heat from entering the building.

砖墙用玻璃点缀，外墙大部分是白色的，以反射热量。

The brick plaster walls are punctuated by areas of glazing with the exterior facades mostly rendered in white to reflect the heat.

为了把现代的感觉融入到房子的设计中，建筑师在主卧室和主浴室的墙上垂直安装了定制的银铝挤压带。这些条子使房子看起来像一个银色盒子，漂浮在下面一块黑色的花岗岩板上。

To incorporate a modern feeling to the house design, the architect installed customized Silver Aluminum Extrusion Strip vertically on the wall of the master bedroom and master bathroom. The strips make the house look like a silver box floating on a black granite sheet below.

热和雨是该地区建筑物面临的基本问题，因此对设计至关重要。虽然这所房子没有传统的长屋顶或大的突出屋檐，如通常在热带地区发现的，但上面的音量悬垂在下一层，实际上起到了一层防雨和防晒的作用，还起到了阴影的作用，增加了正面的深度。

Heat and rain form the basic problem faced by buildings in this region, and are therefore crucial to the design. While this house does not have traditional long roof or large overhanging eaves such as usually found in tropical regions, nevertheless the upper volume overhangs the lower one, in effect acting as rain and sun protection for the ground floor, as well as effecting a play of shadow, adding depth to the facades.

铝带外墙也被设计为空气缓冲绝缘，以便在白天冷却主卧室空间。

The Aluminum strips façade are also designed for air buffer insulation to cool down the main bedroom space during the daytime.
