架构师提供的文本描述。在人口稠密的新加坡，这座房子是一个令人惊讶的发现。坐落在新加坡的主要购物区之一，房子坐落在陡峭的山坡上，周围是成熟的热带雨林。该网站固有的郁郁葱葱的自然环境带来了一种非同寻常的宁静，并提供了设计的机会，作为“撤退”和“避难所”在客户的简报。利用热带植物进行广泛的景观美化，以补充现有的景观。

Text description provided by the architects. The house is a surprising discovery in the densely populated Singapore. Sited in one of Singapore’s prime shopping district, the house sits on a steep sloping terrain with mature rainforest trees at its peripheral. The intrinsic lush natural setting of the site brings about an extraordinary tranquillity and provided opportunities to design the house as a “retreat” and a “sanctuary” set out in the client’s brief. Extensive landscaping using tropical plants is further implemented to complement the existing landscape.

现有地形包括从北部边界森林保护区入口处陡降近10米。减轻这一挑战的策略是让房子从斜坡上踏下三个对比鲜明的梯田，同时轻轻地坐在风景上。

The existing terrain consist of a steep descend of almost 10 meters from the entrance to the forest reserve on the northern boundary. The strategy in mitigating this challenge is to have the house step down the slope with three contrasting terraces whilst sitting lightly on the landscape.

这所房子是通过一条通往第二层入口处的一条很短的通道接近的。房子由一个主要的体积，一个大的展馆，容纳主要的空间，而支持机翼垂直于这个展馆容纳更多的私人空间。在东端和西端的大悬垂下，这所房子被遮挡在强烈的热带阳光下。

The house is approached via a short accessed road that leads one down to the entrance at the second storey. The house consists of a main volume, a large pavilion that houses the main spaces while a supporting wing perpendicular of this pavilion houses the more private spaces. Protected under large overhangs at the east and western end, the house is shielded from the harsh tropical sun.

在主入口门厅，一个人将进入房子通过一个广阔的楼梯到起居室-一个高架亭与花园露台的广阔视野，延伸到周围的景观。一个线性池塘环绕着展馆的一端，既作为一个自然元素的注入，也作为一种姿态来阐述体积的线性。

At the main entry foyer, one will enter the house through a broad flight of stairs to the living room – an elevated pavilion with an extensive view of the garden terrace that extends itself to the surrounding landscape. A linear pond wraps around one end of the pavilion, both as an injection of a natural element and also as a gesture to elaborate the linearity of the volume.

更亲密的私人空间，例如，卧室是面向花园露台和保护区森林。大开口被战略性地放置，作为在其外围设备上设置视图的一种姿态。环绕的木屏风遮住了卧室的门面，确保了隐私、光线和自然通风，也确保了外界认为边界模糊，形成了郁郁葱葱的景观。一条瀑布从中间的花园里泻下来，掉下来与游泳池融为一体。

The more intimate private spaces, for instance, bedroom is orientated towards the garden terrace and reserve forest. Large openings are strategically placed as a gesture to frame the views at its peripherals. Pivoted timber screens cover the bedroom façade, ensuring both privacy, light and natural ventilation and the supposedly blurring of boundaries into the lush landscape beyond. A waterfall cascades down at the mid level garden, plunging down to become one with the swimming pool.
