Urban development is under a microscope – as it should be. We are starting to learn, among other things, from the mistakes that the car-crazy plans have created including mindless urban sprawl, one-dimensional and boring sleeping communities, dead downtowns and cookie-cutter shopping malls.

城市发展正处在一个显微镜下-这是应该的。除其他外，我们开始从汽车疯狂计划所造成的错误中吸取教训，这些错误包括盲目的城市扩张、一维和乏味的睡眠社区、死气沉沉的城镇和切碎饼干的购物中心。

Our vote goes for projects where previously industrial areas and structures are re-claimed for citizens’ use, where green space is given a serious priority and where all available space is used intelligently for the benefit of the people who actually make cities come alive.

我们的选票投给以前的工业区和结构被重新宣布为公民使用的项目，在这些项目中，绿地被给予了严重的优先地位，所有可用的空间都被智能地利用，以造福真正使城市充满活力的人。

We are including in this smart use of urban space any kind of intelligent use of rooftops as well. Rooftop gardens, community spaces, restaurants and anything on rooftops that creates another dimension for city living without adding another new building or structure, is what we are cheering for.

我们在这种智能的城市空间使用中，也包括了任何一种智能屋顶的使用。屋顶花园，社区空间，餐馆和屋顶上的任何东西，为城市生活创造了另一个维度，而不增加另一个新的建筑或结构，这是我们所欢呼的。

Although small in scope and private in use, the Skyscape house by WARchitect in Bangkok is a great example of a smart rooftop development.

虽然在使用范围内和私人使用的小，但是在曼谷的天景别墅是一个非常好的屋顶开发的典范。

The house is located on top of a five-storey apartment building in the Lat Phrao district of Bangkok in a densely populated mixed neighbourhood of apartment buildings, offices and small restaurants.

这栋房子位于曼谷LATPhrao区一栋五层公寓大楼的顶部，有一个人口稠密的公寓大楼、办公室和小餐馆的混合居民区。

The owner of the rooftop house owns the entire apartment building as well and he and his four-member family wanted a temporary private hideaway that they don’t plan on using for entertainment.

屋顶房屋的主人也拥有整个公寓楼，他和他的四口之家想要一个他们不打算用来娱乐的临时私人藏身处。

Thawin Harnboonseth, the managing director of the Bangkok-based WARchitect, tells The Cool Hunter that this gave the designers the opportunity to create a highly minimalist, visually crisp and naked house with an open plan and an almost-transparent appearance.

总部设在曼谷的 Warchitect 董事总经理 Thawin Harnboonseth 告诉《酷猎人》，这让设计师有机会创造一个高度简约、视觉上清爽、裸露的房子，有一个开放的计划和几乎透明的外观。

The rooftop is in total 270 square metres (2,906 sq. ft) in size and previously it housed only large water tanks. Now the house takes up 150 square metres (1,615 sq. ft) of that space and because it is set in the back half of the rooftop, the house cannot be seen from the street.

天台总面积为270平方米(2 906平方米)。英国“金融时报”(FT)的规模和以前只有大型水箱。现在这座房子占地150平方米(1615平方米)。(英国“金融时报”)在这片空间中，由于它位于屋顶的后半部，所以从街道上看不见这座房子。

The room grid of the house follows the grid of the structural pillars of the apartment below. The front part includes three segments that house the dining room and living room and a bedroom with huge glass doors from which the panoramic view can be seen. The back part’s three segments include a bathroom, kitchen and the courtyard that links everything together.

房子的房间网格遵循下面公寓的结构支柱的网格。 前面部分包括三个部分，包括餐厅和客厅，以及一个带有巨大玻璃门的卧室，从中可以看到全景。 后面的三个部分包括浴室、厨房和庭院，将所有的东西连接在一起。

The owner had a large quantity of panels of balau wood, a Southeast Asian tropical hardwood that is slightly reddish hue. Although some of the planks were slightly defective with uneven coloring an some cracks and marks from sawing and handling, the architects used the cladding extensively throughout the house giving it a warm and cohesive look that is also locally familiar.

业主拥有大量的巴金木板，是东南亚热带硬木，色调稍红。尽管一些木板稍微有缺陷，但在锯切和搬运过程中出现了一些裂缝和痕迹，但是建筑师在整个房子里广泛地使用了包层，给它提供了一个温暖而又有凝聚力的外观，这也是当地熟悉的。TuijaSeiell。
