“现场环境”

“Site Context”

该项目位于台北市中正区一条安静的小巷内。由于城市地区的过度发展，街道对面的建筑物之间的距离只有四米宽。

The project is situated in a quiet alley within Zhongzheng District, which is an old neighborhood in Taipei City. Due to the overdevelopment of urban areas, the distance between the buildings across the street is only four meters wide.

由于遗址隐藏在巷子里，这个地区在繁华的城市里仍然保持着宁静。开放公共空间不仅增加了街道的宽度，还提供了更多的使用者与周围环境的互动。然而，这种透明度并不影响居民的隐私，因为大堂的池塘在公共和私人之间划定了界限。

Since the site is hidden in the alley, this area still keeps its serenity in the bustling city. Opening up the common space not only augments the street width, it also provides more interactions between the users and the surroundings. However, such transparency does not affect the resident’s privacy because the pond in the lobby sets a boundary between public and private.

“空间与概念”

“Space and Concept”

主要关注的是在设计原则上捕捉这一街区的历史。我们的设计是从减缓城市居民繁忙生活的想法演变而来的，为每个居民单位增加了更多的绿色空间。它的形式自然是通过相互叠加模块来形成的。

The main concern is to capture the history of this neighborhood in the design principle. Our design evolves from the idea of slowing down busy lives of the urban dwellers by adding more green spaces to each and every resident unit. Its form naturally occurs by stacking the modules on top of each other.

每层采用两个单位，而不是通常的每层一个大单位，每层两层。每个单元的前门位于交替层，因此每个单元都有自己的入口大厅。为了解决马路对面建筑物的隐私问题，起居室的窗户正朝内，向外望着紧靠着一堵坚实墙的阳台。

Instead of having the usual one large unit per floor, a double height, two units per floor type is adopted. The front door of each unit is located at alternate levels, therefore making each unit having its own entry lobby. To solve the issue of privacy from the building across the road, the windows for the living room are facing inside, looking out at the balcony next to a solid wall.

双层阳台为客厅提供充足的阳光。从电梯大厅望着阳台，提醒着人们从花园回家的那种怀旧经历。私人电梯每一个单元都通向天空花园。这是对台湾传统住宅的模仿，也是对周边历史的回应。外墙的主要特征是由各种板料组合而成-外墙上砖石层的粗糙度反映了街道的质地，而白色的鹅卵石墙则从阳光的反射下照亮了天空花园。

The double height balcony provides ample of sunshine to the living room. Looking at the balcony from the lift lobby is a reminder of such nostalgic experience of going home through a garden. The private lift opens up to the sky garden in every unit. This mimics the traditional Taiwanese housing and thus responds to the history of the surroundings. The main feature of the façade is formed by the combination of various slabs- the roughness of masonry cladding on the exterior wall speaks to the texture of the street while the white-pebbled wall brightens the sky garden from the reflection of the sun.
