架构师提供的文本描述。在设计住宅综合体时，把所有的住房单元尽可能地放在相同的条件下是一个典型的公式。然而，在这个项目中，这一公式只适用于二楼和三楼的单位。一条需要在建筑物一侧铺设的通道，减少了一楼单元的面积，限制了日光，使卧室或客厅变得不可能。四楼的对角线限值降低了建筑物的体积，增加了死空间，使外部楼梯无法延伸。

Text description provided by the architects. When designing a housing complex, it is a typical formula to put all the housing units under the same conditions as much as possible. However, in this project, this formula applied only to units on the second and third floor. A passage which needed to be paved on the side of the building reduced the floor area of units on the first floor and restriction of daylight made it impossible to make bedroom or living room. Diagonal limit on the fourth floor reduced the volume of the building, thus increased dead space, and made it impossible to extend exterior stairs.

考虑到这种情况，一楼和四楼的单元，内部简单、开放和单调，构成二楼和三楼单位的棕色色调放松室内。一楼面向街道的单位可用作SOHO。二楼和三楼的单位为演播室式公寓。四楼的单位通风良好，景色宜人。

Considering such conditions, units on the first and fourth floor with simple, open and monotone interior compose maisonette with units on the second and third floor with brown tone relaxing interior. Units on the first floor which face the street can be used as SOHO. Units on the second and third floor are studio type apartment. Units on the fourth floor are airy and have a good view.

单位的方向根据每层的环境而旋转90度。在一楼的单位是开放的侧，以避免正面道路与大量的交通。位于二楼和三楼的单位可通往正面道路，以避免毗邻建筑物。四楼的单元是向侧方开放的，因为视野在相邻建筑物的屋顶上是开放的。各层单元在坐标系中按X·Y·X方向叠加。同一层楼在内部和方向上都有不同的印象。

The direction of the units are turned 90 degrees depending on the environment of each floor. Units on the first floor are open to the side to avoid frontal road with a lot of traffic. Units on the second and third floor are open to frontal road to avoid adjacent buildings. Units on the fourth floor are open to the side as view is open over the roof of adjacent buildings. The units on each floor are stacked in X・Y・Y・X direction in coordinate system. Each floor in the same maisonette gives different impressions in terms of interior and direction.

人口稠密地区的住宅综合体面临着严峻的条件。周围的环境使所有的单位都很难给出相同的条件。我们提出了一种解决方案，即充分利用各楼层的条件，并通过不同楼层的组合来补充各层的优势。这是一个住宅综合体，让租户可以自由选择普通公寓的额外功能。

Housing complex in a dense residential area faces difficult conditions. Surrounding environment makes it difficult to give same conditions for all the units. We proposed a solution by making the most of the conditions of the each floor and supplementing the advantage of each by combination of different floors. This is a housing complex which gives the tenants the liberty to choose the extra feature to the ordinary apartment.
