这幅土地是长方形的，坐落在新加坡北部一座已建成的屋的两条路的交界处。在现场参观期间，我们对现有房屋烧焦的橙色砖墙十分着迷。这些橙色的砖墙构成了房子的设计部分。

The site is rectangular and sits at the junction of 2 roads in an established housing estate in the northern part of Singapore.  Over the site visit, we were enamoured with the burnt orange brick walls of the existing house. These orange bricks wall thus formed the design parti of the house.

一个人通过一个大的枢轴木门进入一个单一体积的灰色花岗岩门厅，并穿过木镶板的双容积居住空间，其目的不仅是在体积上，而且在材料上也是如此。

One enters the house through a large pivot timber door into a single volume grey granite foyer, and through to the timber panelled double volume living space.  The intention was to create not just a contrast in volume but also in materials.

在营造室内与室外的对话时，底层的所有起居空间都以其与户外的关系为基础。麻将室由一棵观景甲板W树补充，更衣室可以看到水的特色；起居室正面是莲塘，餐厅紧邻早餐甲板。

In creating a dialogue between indoor and outdoor, all the living spaces on the ground floor are strongly grounded by its relationship to the outdoors.  The mahjong room is complemented by a landscape deck w trees; the powder room has a view to a water feature; the living room is fronted by a lotus pond and the dining room is immediately adjacent to a breakfast deck.

我们有意识地尝试创造更多与客厅的视觉联系，因为这是家中最常用的部分，因此在客厅的二层有较低层座位的木幕走廊，以及从二层休息区俯瞰客厅空间的内阳台。最后，。主域被认为是一个漂浮的钢和玻璃盒子，坐落在房子的固体质量，俯瞰周围的邻居。

We consciously tried to create more visual links to the living space as this is the most often used portion of the house within this household.  Hence the timber screen corridor with low level seats that line the 2nd storey of the living room and the internal balcony that overlooks the living space from the 2nd storey lounge area.  Lastly, the master domain is perceived as a floating steel and glass box resting atop the solid mass of the house, overlooking the surrounding neighbourhood.

PA的目标是通过干净的直线和大量的形式来捕捉现代设计，通过细致和创造性的材料选择来补偿，以保持温暖的乡土气息，给房子的感觉。其中一种材料是烧焦的橙色砖块，它重新连接了原来的房子的历史，显眼地一直有裸露的砖块。

P+A aimed to capture modern design through clean straight lines and massive forms compensated by meticulous and creative selection of materials to keep a warm rustic touch to the feel of the house. One of these materials is burnt orange brick that reconnects the history of the original house prominently having exposed bricks all throughout.
