架构师提供的文本描述。一个被认为是简单的翻新1.5层中间露台房子的母亲和女儿发展成为一个广泛的完整的细节，灵感来自客户的开放思想。进入时，红色的“怪物”门是正面的一个主要特征，并向中国的大寺庙门致敬。底层主要居住区域有一个线性开放的概念，从前面到后面的房子。建筑的部分被简化，以突出业主大量收集的中国古董。

Text description provided by the architects. A supposedly simple renovation to a 1.5 storey mid terrace house for a mother and daughter developed into an extensive one complete with intricate details inspired by the client’s openness to ideas. Upon entry, the red “monster” door is a dominant feature of the frontage and pays homage to large Chinese temple doors. The ground floor main living areas have a linear open concept from the front to the rear of the house. Parts of the architecture are made minimal to highlight the owner’s extensive collection of Chinese antiques.

在细节中，强调安全性而不牺牲美学是显而易见的。第一，是雕塑的3D烤架窗户，以偏离常见的金属安全格栅的概念。其次，分层混凝土柱(天井)是为了严格的隐私，但也允许通风和周围的光线进入空间。

An emphasis on security without sacrificing aesthetics is evident in the details. First, is the sculptural 3d grill window to divert from the notion of common metal security grilles commonly found. Secondly, the layered concrete columns (tiang) is created for strict privacy but also allowing ventilation and ambient light into the space.

中央庭院是用来连接空间和提供光线的。起居室被抬起来，在一楼进行了视觉扩张。在客厅的上方，人们可以在一个秘密的屋顶花园里欣赏到周围森林和山丘的景色。

The central courtyard was introduced to interconnect the spaces and to provide light. The living room was lifted to have a visual expansion with the first floor. Above the living room, one can enjoy the view of the surrounding forests and hills in a secret rooftop garden.
