架构师提供的文本描述。上海建筑师Neri

Text description provided by the architects. Shanghai-based architects Neri&Hu recently completed a 250 square-meter private residence in a high rise tower in the heart of Singapore. The client’s mandate was simple: “Give me three bedrooms and a project that will challenge the conventional notion of what a flat should be.” Rising up to this challenge, Neri&Hu initiated the project by questioning the fundamentals of the “house” typology itself, asking themselves: How can we free up the plan and make it feel light and loft-like? What is the relationship between the communal and private? When and how should privacy be maintained, if at all? What are the essential and non-essential program components that make a “home”? What is domesticity?

由此产生的部分打破了所有常规的标准公寓布局，把房间远离建筑边缘，保留一个连续的走廊沿整个周边。而不是进入中心，然后向外辐射到个别房间，这种配置通常被认为是高层住宅的理想条件，在这里，私人区域构成了空间的核心，而公共流通区包裹着一切，把一切联系在一起。战略性的插入三个自由浮动的卷，包覆在木头，石头，和铜，增加了空间层的深度，其中包括最私人和最亲密的房间-书房和两个浴室。剩下的空间保持透明，在保持隐私的同时，打破了房间开放和外向的界限。该项目拒绝了通常在公寓布局中发现的空间的局部化，创造了一种更有利于当代生活方式的开放性和扩张性。(鼓掌)

The resulting parti breaks though all conventions of the standard apartment layout by placing the rooms away from the building edge, reserving a continuous corridor along the entire perimeter. Rather than enter into the center and then radiate outwards towards individual rooms, a configuration often taken for granted as the ideal condition in high rise residences, here, the private zone forms the core of the space, while the public circulation zone envelops and ties everything together. The strategic insertion of three free floating volumes, clad in wood, stone, and copper, adds to the depth of the spatial layers, enclosing within them the most private and intimate rooms of all—the study and the two bathrooms. The remaining space is kept transparent, pushing the boundaries of how open and extroverted a room can be, while still maintaining privacy. The project rejects the parcelization of spaces found typically in apartment layouts, creating an openness and expansiveness that is more conducive to the contemporary lifestyle.
