We received only a simple brief from the owners who gave us “a boundless freedom to design a unique house as if it were our own.” Liberated from external constraints, we were free to study and develop a style of architecture that we were personally interested in. Over the last 5-10 years, we have seen that a certain architectural language, in which the external wall and the ceiling converge into an oblique angle, is becoming popular, especially in commercial buildings of real estate projects. However, apart from being on the exterior, this architectural language never appears in the interior of those buildings which are still mostly dominated by an ordinary perpendicular and parallel layout. That being the case, we are curious to see if it is possible to apply this language to other design aspects rather than just for a decorative purpose. From our perspective, to make an architecture express the language as clearly as possible, we have to start from the plan design and the structure. Once the language has been successfully integrated into these two areas, the other elements such as the floor, the wall, the roof, the exterior, and the interior will naturally conform in unison to the style.

我们只收到业主的一份简单的简报，他们给了我们“无限的自由来设计一座独特的房子，就好像它是我们自己的一样。”从外部限制中解放出来，我们可以自由地学习和发展我们个人感兴趣的建筑风格。在过去的5至10年中，我们看到一种建筑语言，即外墙和天花板会合成斜角的建筑语言，正变得越来越流行，特别是在房地产项目的商业建筑中。然而，这种建筑语言除了存在于外部之外，从来没有出现在那些仍以普通垂直平行布局为主的建筑内部。在这种情况下，我们很好奇是否有可能将这种语言应用到其他设计方面，而不仅仅是为了装饰目的。从我们的角度来看，要使体系结构尽可能清晰地表达语言，我们必须从计划设计和结构开始。一旦语言成功地融入了这两个领域，地板、墙壁、屋顶、外部和内部等其他元素自然就会与风格相一致。

To achieve the ideal version of our architectural language, we need a courtyard, where sunlight is allowed to pass through and rain to fall through, as the center of the Y/A/O House. The diagonal wall line serves to connect the frame of the building and the frame of the courtyard, as well as the roof. With the frame of the building being higher than the frame of the courtyard, rain will fall from the roof into the courtyard like a curtain of waterfall. We complete the roof with valley rafters that naturally suit the structure. The ceiling is also parallel to the roof. We have applied this architectural language to appropriately serve different functions in the 3 main parts of the building.

为了实现我们的建筑语言的理想版本，我们需要一个庭院，在那里阳光可以通过，雨水可以通过，作为Y/A/O之家的中心。对角墙线用于连接建筑物的框架和庭院的框架以及屋顶。随着建筑的框架比院子的框架要高，雨水将从屋顶掉进庭院里，就像瀑布的窗帘一样。我们在屋顶上安装了那些自然适合这种结构的山谷扒手。天花板也平行于屋顶。我们已采用这种架构语言在建筑物的3个主要部分中适当地服务不同的功能。

GARAGE First-time visitors will not be able to see the whole picture of the Y/A/O House until they walk through the garage which is used as an entrance hall. We created a point of interest and a surreal feeling by installing mirrors on both sides of the garage wall. The reflection results in an infinite illusion, symbolizing a transition between the public space outside and privacy within the home. As the visitors are about to walk through the garage, the tilting oblique line of the wall reveals the entire domain of the house with a panoramic view, the sight that we purposefully created to be perceived at this exact spot.

车库的第一次游客将无法看到整个Y/A/O之家的照片，直到他们穿过车库，用作入口大厅。我们通过在车库墙壁的两侧安装镜子创造了一种兴趣点和一种超现实的感觉。反射导致无限的幻觉，象征着公共空间与家庭内的隐私之间的过渡。当游客们即将穿过车库时，墙上的倾斜斜线显示了房子的整个区域，有一个全景的视野，我们有意创造的视线在这个确切的地方。

GUEST AREA The reception building consists of 2 guest bedrooms, a fitness room, and a terrace. All 3 parts of Y/A/O House are connected with a courtyard garden, finished with a gravel path and beautiful cape jasmines as sculpture plants at the center. The main rooms include a gym and 2 bedrooms which are open to the north and parallel to a swimming pool and a multi-purpose yard. Rooms with other functions, such as a restroom, a dressing room, a steam room, and a shower room for washing before entering the pool, are parallel to the south and serve as a sunlight buffer in the afternoon.

接待楼由2间客房、一间健身房和一个露台组成。Y/A/O住宅的所有三个部分都与一个庭院花园相连，中间有一条砾石小径和美丽的茉莉花作为雕塑植物。主要房间包括一间健身房和两间卧室，向北开放，与游泳池和多用途庭院平行。设有其他功能的房间，如洗手间、更衣室、蒸汽室和淋浴间，可在进入泳池前进行清洗，这些房间与南面平行，在下午可用作阳光缓冲器。

MASTER AREA 1st FLOOR – The guest room is a 6-meter-wide and 12-meter-long open plan space, consisting of 3 connected parts – living, dining, and pantry – and is open to the outside through an 8-meter glass accordion door. Since the building is placed against the north-south wind direction, when the accordion door is opened, the breeze will flow into the room quite strongly on a good day, which means there is no need to turn on the air conditioning system. The exposed joist ceiling of the living room openly reveals the structure of an H steel beam and a C-Channel steel joist. The ceiling panels are minimally used to cover only the wiring and untidy concrete casting.

主区1楼-客房是一个6米宽12米长的开放式空间，由三个相连的部分组成-生活、用餐和厨房-并通过一个8米高的玻璃手风琴门向外面开放。由于建筑物是朝南北方向放置的，当手风琴门打开时，在天气好的时候，风会很强地吹进房间，这意味着没有必要打开空调系统。客厅外露的龙骨吊顶公开揭示了H型钢梁和C槽钢龙骨的结构。吊顶板仅用于覆盖电线和不整洁的混凝土浇筑。

MASTER AREA 2nd FLOOR The 2nd floor of the main building is the area that most clearly expresses our architectural language. The courtyard can be seen and accessed from 4 sides, which are the master bedroom, the master bathroom(dry), the closet, and the terrace. These 4 areas convey the language through their tapering floors, diagonal wall lines, and sloping ceilings that lead toward the courtyard, accurately following the ideal pattern just like what we had in mind. All functions are truly practical and relevant to each shape of space that has been created.

主建筑二楼是表达我们建筑语言最清晰的区域。庭院可以从主卧室、主浴室(干)、壁橱和露台四面看到和进入。这四个区域通过他们的渐细的地板，对角墙线，和倾斜的天花板向庭院传达语言，准确地遵循理想的模式，就像我们想要的一样。所有的功能都是真正实用的，并且与所创造的每一种空间形态都相关。

– Master Bedroom – Opening the door to the bedroom, one can feel a stronger than usual attraction coming from the vanishing point, which is a result of the tapering walls and the sloping ceiling that lead to courtyard behind the headboard of the bed. The entrance zone of the bedroom is large with a higher ceiling suitable as a living area while the area further inside the bedroom has a lower and narrower ceiling, giving a proper atmosphere for sleeping.

-主卧室-打开卧室的门，一个人可以感受到比通常更强的吸引力来自消失点，这是由于渐缩的墙壁和倾斜的天花板，导致庭院后的床头板。卧室的入口区域很大，天花板较高，适合作为起居室，而卧室内较远的区域则有一个较低、更窄的天花板，给人一种适宜睡觉的氛围。

– Master Bathroom (Dry) – The dry bathroom consists of a bathtub which is placed on the courtyard garden side, giving a relaxing vibe as one is immersing in the water. The roller blinds at the balcony can be rolled down for more privacy. On the other side of the bathroom is a counter with a mirror along the length of the wall. The counter is used for a bathroom sink, a make-up area, and a storage. The large mirror reflects all activities that happen in front of it.

-主浴室(干式)-干式浴室由一个浴缸组成，放在庭院花园边，沉浸在水中，给人一种放松的感觉。阳台上的滚筒百叶窗可以卷起，以便有更多的隐私。浴室的另一边是一个柜台，墙上有一面镜子。该计数器用于浴室水槽、化妆区和储藏室.大镜子反映了在它前面发生的一切活动。
