架构师提供的文本描述。沿着圣淘沙湾大道的房子坐落在一个略显锥形的地方，面对着一个人造湖。这所房子是为一个非常珍惜隐私的小家庭而建的，它把房子倒回了街道和邻居们邻近的地方。就像一座独角兽栖息在花园之上，单面的大房子是主要的空间，主要的视野是水路。正门将一个人带入房子的中心，两边是居住和就餐的空间。上面的楼层在中间分成两卷，里面住着女儿和父母的卧室。

Text description provided by the architects. The house along Cove Drive in Sentosa sits on a slightly tapered site that faced a man-made lake. Built for a small family that greatly cherish their privacy, the house turns it back on the street and the sides where the neighbours are in close proximity. Like a monolith resting over the gardens, the single, faceted volume house the main spaces with their primary view to the waterway.The main entrance brings one into the centre of the house with the living and dining space on the sides. The upper floors are split in the middle into two volumes that house the daughter and the parent’s bedrooms.

堆积如山的等级是故意保持较小，以创造更多的花园空间，在紧张的场地。几何学是通过与强加在邻里的规划参数的协商和简化建筑形式的愿望得到的。正面和侧面的正面与开口的战略位置被削减，以允许最佳的采光与隐私的最小妥协。倾斜的墙壁在角落允许一个较小的足迹，同时扩大空间体积在上层。

The massing on grade is kept deliberately small to create more garden spaces within the tight site. The geometry is derived from negotiating with the planning parameters imposed on the neighborhood and the desire to simplify the building form. The front and side facades are pared down with openings strategically position to allow optimal daylighting with minimum compromise in privacy. The sloping walls at the corners allow for a smaller footprint while expanding the spatial volume at upper levels.

就像它简单的形式，很少使用建筑材料。正面完全用铁木包着。内部采用较轻的橡木和石灰华调色板。夜幕降临时，正面可以看到内部空间的碎片。无声的、无法穿透的体积逐渐让位于内部光的体积，揭示了内在的复杂性。

Like its simple form, few architectural materials were used. The facades are entirely wrapped in iron wood. The interior adopts a lighter palette of oak and travertine. At nightfall, fragments of the internal spaces are seen on the facade. The muted, impenetrable volume gradually gives way to the volumes of internal light, revealing the intricacy within.
