架构师提供的文本描述。熊屋位于泰国中部著名的海滨城市Cha-am海滩上，距曼谷三个小时车程。这是一座八米宽、二十八米长的三层楼房，占地三百八十平方米，是萨霍特家族的第二座住宅。2011年12月，当室内建筑开始时，这个家庭中的男孩才两岁。一个婴儿被期待着。2012年4月，贝尔斯登(BearHouse)圆满完工。

Text description provided by the architects. Bear House is on Cha-Am Beach, a famous seaside resort town in central Thailand, three hours drive from Bangkok. The brief is to renovate a three-storey building of eight metres wide and twenty-eight metres long, utilising an area of three-hundred and eighty square metres, turning it into a second home of the Sahawat family. When the interior construction started, in December 2011, the boy of the family was two years old. A baby was expected. In April 2012, Bear House was happily finished.

“熊屋”属于泰式的“砖屋”收藏家。Sittawat Sahawat和NiPapat Sahawat是兄弟姐妹，他们对日本Medicom玩具公司生产的各种大小和风格的Be@rbrk玩具着迷。Be@rbrk是一只人格化的熊，它的体形和盆腹都很简单。每个塑形有九个部分，即头部、躯干、臀部、手臂、手和腿。它有灵活的关节和一个旋转的头。许多艺术家为这种标准模具制作了装饰性图案，比如英国时装设计师维维安·韦斯特伍德和被认为是纽约涂鸦传奇人物之一的斯泰什。在萨霍特家族的收藏中，主要人物是BAPE的伪装指纹。它们有28厘米高，被称为400%Be@rbrits，因为它的实际尺寸是7厘米，或者100%Be@rbrk是7厘米高。

Bear House belongs to the Thai Be@rbrick collectors. Sittawat Sahawat and Nipapat Sahawat are siblings who are fascinated by various sizes and styles of Be@rbrick toys, produced by the Japanese company Medicom Toy Incorporated. Be@rbrick is an anthropomorphised bear with a simplified form and pot belly. Each plastic figure features nine parts, namely head, torso, hips, arms, hands and legs. It has flexible joints and a swivelled head. Many artists have created decorative patterns for the standard mould such as the British fashion designer Vivian Westwood and Stash who is considered one of New York’s graffiti legends. In the Sahawat family’s collection, the major figures are BAPE camouflage print. They are twenty-eight centimetres high and referred to as 400% Be@rbricks as its actual size, or a 100% Be@rbrick, is seven centimetres high.

熊屋的尺寸很重要。设计过程并不是从房子本身开始，而是从百合花展示柜开始。它被认为是一座17400%的房子。它由台阶、梯子和符合28厘米高的尺寸的空洞组成.它占据了餐厅的一整堵墙，把房子的入口与三层楼高的起居室连接起来。橱柜是房子的中心部分和模型。它是由浅色橡木板制成，类似于房子的其他主要表面。熊屋是一个更大版本的Be@rbrks‘展示柜。

Size matters in Bear House. The design process does not start from the house itself but the Be@rbricks display cabinet. It is thought of as a house of seventeen 400% Be@rbricks. It is composed of steps, ladders and voids that fit the scale of twenty-eight centimetres tall figures. It occupies a whole wall of the dining room, linking the house’s entry to the living area which is three stories high. The cabinet is a central piece and a model of the house. It is made of light coloured oak wooden panels resembling the other main surfaces of the house. Bear House is a bigger version of Be@rbricks’ display cabinet.

小型固定装置和超大家具是熊屋的特点。灯和枕头太大了，所以居民可能会觉得比实际小。这房子有四个大小的门把手，定制不同大小的门。它们有时对孩子的手太大，对成人的手太小。似乎太高的梯子是生活区的装饰元素之一。它将目光引向高耸的方形天窗、超大的空隙和不同尺寸的窗户。楼上的每个房间都可以俯瞰客厅的大厅。

Miniature fixtures and oversize furniture are the features of Bear House. Lamps and pillows are oversize so that the inhabitants may feel smaller than they actually are. The house has four sizes of doorknobs, customised for different size of doors. They are sometimes too big for a child’s hand and too small for an adult’s hand. The ladder that seems too high is one of the living area’s decorative elements. It leads the gaze high up to square skylights, oversize voids, and windows of different scale. Every room on the upper floors overlook the hall of living area.

在主卧室里放置了一个扩大的Be@rbrk‘s梯子。它把特大床和高架洞中的一张单日床连接起来。从今天的床上可以看到两个视图。洞口旁边是三层楼的大厅，可以俯瞰起居室。房间对面是海景。在主卧室前面站着一个1000%的百分之七十厘米高的砖，上面画着警察制服的图案。这是法国品牌paul之间的一次特殊合作。

An enlarged Be@rbrick’s ladder is placed in the master bedroom. It connects a space between the king size bed and a single day bed in an elevated hole. There are two views from this day bed. Next to the hole is the three stories hall overlooking the living area. The opposite side across the room is the sea view. In front of the master bedroom stands a 1000% Be@rbrick of seventy centimetres high, painted in a pattern of police uniform. It is a special collaboration between French label Paul&Joe and Medicom Toy. This 1000% Be@rbrick can be seen from the living area on the second floor, the bedroom on the second floor, and the landing that links the stair and the ramp towards the master bedroom.

熊屋既明亮又幽默。客厅和游泳池是房子的前部份。整个空间是由年轻的泰国涂鸦艺术家，众所周知的MMFK和P7着色。在客厅里，在超大沙发后面，MMFK画的是一只眼睛的怪物，装扮成水手，而p7画的是蓝色的熊头，有条纹的眉毛。在游泳池旁边，在11米长的墙上，MMFK展示了一只熊吞食他标志性的一只眼睛怪物的卡通形象。P7画了一个黑熊头，额头上写着“冲浪”这个词。这些插图只为熊屋定制。

Bear House is bright and humorous. Its living room and swimming pool are the front part of the house. The whole space is coloured by young Thai graffiti artists well known as MMFK and P7. In the living room, behind the oversize sofa, MMFK paints a one-eye monster, dressed up as a sailor, whereas P7 paints a blue bear head with striped eyebrows. Next to the swimming pool, on the wall of eleven metres long, MMFK illustrates the cartoon representation of a bear devouring his iconic one-eye monster. P7 drew a black bear head with the word ‘surf’ on its forehead. These illustrations are customised only for Bear House.
