场地地形平缓，从邻近的公共道路上缓坡而下，离地面较高。客户的简介是设计一套简单、谦逊和“现代”的房子。这座房子的轮廓和剖面与现有斜坡的干扰最小。尽管它是钢和玻璃建筑，但它的功能就像一座传统的热带房屋，天花板高度高，室内空间光线充足，大多数墙壁上都有窗户，建筑最高处有铝制百叶窗，这样热风就能逃出去。

The site terrain gentle slopes down from the adjacent public road from the higher ground. The brief from the Client was to design a simple, unassuming and 'modern' looking house. The profile and section of this house hugs the terrain with minimum interference of the existing slope. Despite its steel and glass construction, the house functions like a traditional tropical house with tall ceiling heights, well lit interior spaces, and sufficient ventilation with windows on most walls and aluminium louvers at the highest part of building for the hot air to escape.

这座建筑大部分都是用钢和玻璃设计的，以唤起人们的轻盈。建筑物的基础和树桩是用普通钢筋混凝土制成的。广泛使用玻璃作为周围的皮肤，使居住者可以享受周围的森林景观。

Most of the building is designed with steel and glass to evoke lightness. The foundation and the stump of building is made of conventional reinforced concrete. The extensive use of glass as the surrounding skin enables the occupants to enjoy the surrounding forest view.

居住在Janda Baik，气候相对温和，使居住者几乎一整天都能享受户外活动和新鲜空气。因此，广泛的户外区域，如从甲板到生活，餐饮和露台，到主卧室构成了建筑设计的关键部分。

Living in Janda Baik with the relatively moderate climate allows the occupants to enjoy the outdoor activities and fresh air practically all day long. Hence, extensive outdoor areas such as from the deck to the living and dining and terrace to Master Bedroom form critical part of the building design.

要从停车场/车道进入房子，必须穿过钢桥和木桥。进入房子后，有一个小的入口大厅，右边有一扇通往主卧室的门，主卧室有6.8米宽的滑动玻璃门，通向一个宽敞的外部露台。

To enter the house from car park / driveway, one has to cross the steel and timber bridge. Upon entering the house, there is a small entry hall with a door to the Master Bedroom slightly on the right. The Master bedroom boasts 6.8 m wide sliding glass doors which opens to a generous exterior terrace.

从主入口大厅，您可以走下生活/用餐/厨房，位于较低的一层，通过钢/木材楼梯。这个空间是一个雄伟的2层空隙，用玻璃围起来，可以看到周围的森林。上面的主卧室也可以通过这个空隙看到起居室。起居室/餐厅/厨房的设计是一个单独的开放式空间，与房子的亮点相连-一个长10.5米、宽6.8米的木甲板，下面有一个钢结构支撑着。最后2.5米的甲板是悬臂从其支持梁，以创造“无限甲板”的效果。房子的主人们大部分时间都在这个甲板上度过。

From the main entry hall, one can walk down to the Living / Dining / Kitchen located at the lower ground floor via a steel/timber staircase. This space is a majestic 2 storey void enclosed in glass with a full view of the surrounding forest. The master bedroom above can also view the Living area via this void. The Living / Dining / Kitchen is designed as a single open plan space connected to the highlight of the house – a 10.5m long and a 6.8m wide timber deck supported by a steel structure underneath. The last 2.5m of the deck is cantilevered out from its supporting beam to create the effect of an “infinity deck”. The occupants of the house spend most of their time on this deck.

由于建筑物附近的大多数树木都得到了维护，人们几乎可以从这层甲板上触摸到树木的叶子。木材被用作起居区和甲板区的地板装饰，从而通过全高度的玻璃板将生活/用餐和甲板融合在一起。这种组合创造了一个单一的和大型的开放计划‘无限’平台，一个不受干扰的360度的森林景观。此外，木材的广泛使用创造了极其丰富和温暖的纹理和这一空间的感觉，补充了附近森林的温暖纹理。

As most trees adjacent to building are maintained, one can almost touch the leaves of the trees from this deck. Timber is used as the floor finishes for both the Living and the deck areas, thus merging the Living/Dining and the deck through the full height glass panels. This combination creates a single and large open plan 'infinity' platform with an undisturbed 360 degree of the forest view. Furthermore, the extensive use of timber has created an extremely rich and warm texture and feel for this space, complementing the warm texture of the forest nearby.

最终，这是一座舒适的住宅；为居住者提供了广阔的室外空间，让他们在相对凉爽的Janda Baik森林气候下享受到令人叹为观止的绿色森林，同时在设计和建造时尽量减少对现有地形的干扰。

Ultimately, this is a cosy and comfortable house to live in; providing extensive outdoor spaces for the occupants to enjoy the stunning green forest within the relatively cool climate of the Janda Baik forest while being designed and built with minimum interference to the existing terrain.
