项目：屋顶房屋建筑师：WARTCTect团队：Thawin Harnboonseth，Photsawat Apariman地点：Ladprao Soi 3，Chompol，泰国，曼谷，150.0平方米项目年，2019年摄影师：Rungkit Charoenwat

The project’s owner runs a 5-story apartment. In the past, the rooftop was only used to keep water tanks, leaving a lot of empty space. The owner, therefore, wished to build a small house there for his own use. The rooftop location is an interestingly unique context that sets this project apart from other housing designs.

这个项目的业主经营着一套5层楼的公寓。在过去，屋顶只是用来存放水箱，留下了很多空间。因此，房主希望在那里建造一座小房子，供他自己使用。屋顶的位置是一个有趣的独特的背景，使这个项目有别于其他住宅设计。

Instead of a normal ground, this rooftop house has a concrete courtyard. Trees are replaced with vertical lines of tall buildings in the Lat Phrao district. The 0.00 ground level is elevated to the level of over 15.00 meters. In addition, this house would have only the front façade and could not be seen from the side and the back. To avoid creating a stark contrast between this house and the apartment below, our team designed this house so that no one could see it from public roads.

这座屋顶房屋不是一般的地面，而是有一个混凝土庭院。在Lat Phrao地区，树木被高楼的垂直线所取代。0.00地面高度上升到15.00米以上。此外，这所房子只有前面的立面，不能从侧面和背面看到。为了避免在这栋房子和下面的公寓之间形成鲜明的对比，我们的团队设计了这座房子，这样就没人能从公共道路上看到它了。

Our idea was not to make this house feel like a building, but to free it from form. We wanted it to be just a borderless box that emerges out of nowhere in the sky, as if the thickness of the wall and roof were non-existent, but still able to make holes in the ceiling to install curtains, air conditioners, and embed lights.

我们的想法不是让这座房子看起来像一座建筑，而是让它从形式上解放出来。我们希望它只是一个无边无际的盒子，在天空中不知从哪里冒出来，仿佛墙壁和屋顶的厚度是不存在的，但仍然能够在天花板上造洞来安装窗帘、空调和嵌入灯光。

Our intention was to give an illusion to onlookers that the entire ceiling was in the same straight line even though we featured a drop ceiling and a slope that was intentionally used to make the wall and ceiling look thin. These techniques may not be new in architecture. However, with this rooftop house, it is more special since a short distance between the main structure and the exterior helps disguise the techniques we used.

我们的意图是让旁观者觉得整个天花板都是在同一直线上，尽管我们的天花板和斜坡故意用来使墙壁和天花板看起来很薄。这些技术在体系结构中可能不是新的。然而，在屋顶的房子里，由于主结构和外部之间的短距离有助于掩盖我们使用的技术，所以更特别。

Concerning the function, the owner wanted the house to be simple for his private use as he did not frequently receive guests. Taking this into account, we thought that it would be interesting to make this rooftop house look more “naked” than usual. The boundary between each room is linked by a courtyard. The functional area is divided according to the grid of the apartment’s pillars underneath, resulting in a six-grid layout.

关于功能，业主希望房子简单，供他私人使用，因为他不经常接待客人。考虑到这一点，我们认为让这座屋顶房屋看起来比平常更“裸”会很有趣。每个房间之间的边界是由一个庭院连接起来的。该功能区按照公寓下面支柱的栅格划分，形成六格布局。

The front section consists of three grids which are used as 1. a dining area 2. a living room and 3. a bedroom where the owner can see a panoramic view through a large sliding glass door, which when slid close, the door frame will be precisely behind a small pillar, giving an impression that this building does not have a pillar. The back section consists of the remaining three grids which are used as 4. bathrooms 5. a courtyard that can be seen from anywhere in the house and 6. a kitchen.

前部由三个网格组成，这些网格用作1。用餐区2。客厅和3个。拥有人可以通过大的滑动玻璃门看到全景的卧室，当滑动关闭时，门框将精确地位于小支柱的后面，给人留下的印象是这座大楼没有支柱。后部由剩余的三个网格组成，这些网格用作4。浴室5。可以从房子里的任何地方看到的庭院和6个庭院。厨房。

Since the owner already had a large number of Balau wood planks, we used them as the covering material. Even some planks have defects such as cracks, gnarls, marks from saws, and uneven colors, we see them as a natural charm of real wood, so we did not need to discard any of them. When the construction was finished, the final result is a “space” completed with the warm color of wood and the cool tone of the sky, just exactly as we wanted it to be.

由于业主已经有了大量的木板，所以我们用它们作为覆盖物。即使是一些木板也有缺陷，如裂缝、咬痕、锯痕和颜色参差不齐，我们认为它们是真正木材的自然魅力，所以我们不需要丢弃它们中的任何一个。当建筑完成后，最终的结果是一个“空间”，用温暖的木材颜色和凉爽的天空色调完成，就像我们想要的那样。
