架构师提供的文本描述。这座房子坐落在Caldecott山的丘陵地带，这是一个位于新加坡中部地区汤姆森路的私人住宅区。坐落在一片茂盛的热带土地上，这座被指定为良好的Bungalow级住宅项目，与新加坡喧闹的节奏相距甚远，但离这个城市繁忙的商业中心只有几分钟的距离。

Text description provided by the architects. The house sits on the hilly part of Caldecott Hill, a private housing estate located along Thomson Road in the central region of Singapore. Set in acres of lush, tropical grounds, this designated Good Class Bungalow housing estate is a world apart from Singapore’s bustling pace yet located just minutes from the heart of the city’s hectic business and commercial centre.

静静地窝在一起的是一个折叠的大屋顶，从里面隐现出一个大家庭的迹象。从外表上看，人们很容易被误导，以为大多数的观点都是向内看的。为一个三代家庭设计的，其中一个要求是一个25米的膝上游泳池，将与家庭的积极生活方式。现有的地形，从入口下降到东部边界陡峭的8米，成为这个家庭的生活方式发生的背景。

Nestled quietly is a wide folded roof hints of a big family from within. From the outside, one could be easily misled to think that most views as a result would be inward looking. Designed for a three-generation family, one of the requirements was for a 25-meter lap pool that would go with the active lifestyles of the family. The existing terrain that drops a steep 8m from the entrance to the eastern boundary as crafted becomes a backdrop for this family’s lifestyle to happen.

显然，围绕着一个中央庭院，房子由两个平行的集合组成，从西到东，由一层的共同居住和餐饮空间统一。在主入口门厅，到达顺序从第二层开始，通过宽阔的入口将房屋与现有的斜坡地形分开。踏入空间，连续折叠式屋顶轻轻引导一个进去。这个屋顶坐落在一个环绕在第二层周围的丝带玻璃上，允许自然光线进入。天花板下面铺着木材，这些有方向的木条开阔到俯瞰汤姆森路的低矮景观的广袤视野中。在这里，带有激光切割图案的全高度可操作金属屏风作为遮阳装置，不仅带来了东北和西南季风，而且还带来了一天中变化的阴影模式。

Clearly conceived as volumes surrounding a central courtyard, the house consists of 2 parallel massing that runs from west to east that is unified by the common living and dining spaces on the first storey. At the main entry foyer, the arrival sequence begins at the second storey through the broad entryway that detaches the house from the existing sloping terrain. Stepping into the space, the continuous folding roof gently guides one in. This roof sits on a ribbon glass that wraps around the perimeter of the 2nd storey, allowing natural light to filter in. Clad with timber on the underside of the ceiling, these directional timber strips open up to an extensive view of the lowered landscape overlooking Thomson road. Here, full height operable metal screens with laser cut motifs acts as a sun shading device bringing in not only the North-east and Southwest monsoon winds but also shadow patterns that changes over the course of the day.

当一个人通过从石灰华墙延伸到第一层的悬臂玻璃桥，迎接一个平静的镜子的水庭院。在这个庭院里，一座被氧化的金属雕塑楼梯从水面上螺旋式延伸出来，连接着起居室上方的屋顶花园，俯瞰着这座城市令人叹为观止的全景。这种水也被带进了化妆室，在那里有一堵绿色的墙和一个水槽，外面回荡着大自然。由于有较高的流通空间，如厨房和洗衣房被放置在前面的房子，这释放了计划在东侧，允许更广泛的看法。起居空间具有四面可操作的旋转门，是一个基础，上面的体积是悬挑的。在这层第一层，全高的滑动门连接着干燥的厨房和横跨反射水面的书房，延伸到一个很大的空间，可以增加家庭成员之间的互动。

As one descends to the 1st storey through the cantilever glass bridge extending from the travertine wall, one is greeted with a calm mirror of water courtyard. Within this courtyard, a sculptural oxidized metal stair spiraling out from the water connecting the rooftop garden above the living room for a stunning panoramic view of the city. This water is also brought into the powder room where a green wall and a trough of water echo nature outside. As spaces with a higher circulation such as the kitchen and laundry are placed towards the front of the house, this frees up the plan on the eastern side allowing for wider views. The living space, which has pivoting doors operable on all sides, is a base from which the upper volumes are cantilevered. On this first storey, full height sliding doors connect both the dry kitchen and study across the reflecting water, extending itself into one large space that allows for increase interaction between family members.

天然材料的调色板也唤起了一种平静的感觉。这可以从正面墙、立柱、屏风和粗糙的木材纹理这种效果使整个房子对环境不那么专横，强调室内和室外空间的流动性。

The color palette of natural materials evokes also a sense of calm. This can be seen from the juxtapositions of the exterior timber cladding of the frontal walls, walls, columns, screens and the rugged wood texture fair face concrete walls. This effect makes the house as a whole less overbearing on the environment, emphasizing the fluidity of space between the indoor and the outdoor.

当你走向泳池时，你会被周围开阔的空间所吸引。一个3米宽的木甲板平行于水池，锚定漂浮的体积。在这个室外区域，从上面的大悬臂结构中附带提供了遮阳浮雕。起居室下面的一个大型家庭娱乐室可以看到这个无限大的游泳池，并有意连接到游泳池边的活动。在第一层和地下室的泳池边有多个视觉连接，陡峭跌落的最初挑战已经变成了网站特有的设计元素。通过这一点，我们可以想象三代人一起享受这座房子成功提供的团结。

Upon walking towards the lap pool, one is drawn to the spaciousness of the open spaces around it. A 3m wide timber deck runs parallel to the pool anchoring the floating volumes. In this outdoor area, shade relief is being offered incidentally from the large cantilevered structures above.  A large family entertainment room beneath the living room has the full view of this infinity pool and is connected deliberately for poolside activities.With multiple visual connections to the poolside at both 1st storey and the basement, the initial challenge of the steep drop has been turned into a design element unique to the site. Through this, one can imagine the three generations together enjoying the unity that this house successfully provides.
