环拥自然：康沃尔花园住宅

项目受业主所托，是为其多代人居住而设计的。客户想要一个“开放式的家，一个凉爽的热带家庭天堂”，鼓励他们的孩子“长大后，也将在此养育自己的孩子”。

This house is intended for multi-generation living. The client wanted an ‘open home, a cool tropical paradise for the family’, encouraging their children to ‘raise their families here when they grow up’.  

▼从屋顶花园俯瞰，房屋的台阶和瀑布与地形融为一体，形成了一个圆形公共空间。View from roof garden depicts how e house steps & falls with e terrain, forming an amphitheatre at e heart of a plan

▼房子内部是自然和居住空间的庇护所，与现有地形融为一体。The house interior is a sanctuary for nature and living spaces integrated into the existing terrain

就像书里《I and Thou》（Martin Buber著作）的关系一样，家庭与自然的关系其实是要与自然紧密联系，共同享有呼吸空间，植物、水体和居住空间是一体的。建筑的天然采光、自然通风温控系统提供了一个生态友好的环境，有利于人们的身心健康。

Designed with an I-Thou relationship with nature, the family and nature share the same breathing space. Plants, water bodies, and living spaces are integrated as one. The setting provides daylighting, natural ventilation, and passive cooling. It offers an ecological-friendly environment that promotes general wellness for all.

在门厅，挡土墙已被改造成一个具有瀑布特色的绿色庭院 ，经过改造，居住者可以欣赏到热带雨林植物以及滴答的落雨声，这些美妙的声音在房子的各处都能欣赏到。

At the foyer, an old retaining wall with a history of leakage has been transformed into a green courtyard with waterfall feature. Visitors are now greeted with tropical rainforest plants and the sounds of cascading water, which can be enjoyed from all levels. 

▼现有的挡土墙被改造成瀑布，为空间提供了一个宁静的背景。An existing retaining wall was transformed into a waterfall, providing a backdrop of tranquillity for the spaces

▼覆盖着木炭的立面流入门廊区域，作为空气污染物的吸收剂。The charcoal-clad facade flows into the porch area, serving as absorbents of air pollutants

结合场地地形，使用大量的热带果树包围建筑物，降低了建筑环境温度的同时为建筑提供了隐私。包括景观平台和生物池池塘的层叠种植园，建筑是周围居民区的绿色绿洲，这些是收集雨水的集水区，将雨水回收再用于灌溉。

Working with the existing terrain, built-ups that contributed to the site coverage are utilised as planters for tropical fruit trees, to cool ambient temperature, and to insulate the interiors. On plan, the house is a green oasis amongst the neighbourhood, of landscape decks and cascading planters framing the bio pool and ponds. These are the catchment areas for rainwater harvesting, to be recycled for irrigation.

房间周围种有各种充满植物的阳台，可俯瞰中央游泳池。百香果的种植架桥，攀援的葡萄树在夕阳下遮蔽了阳光，并为业主提供了一个私密的屏障。

Planting verandahs of varying plant species line the peripheries of the rooms and overlook the central pool. This continues to form a planter bridge of passion fruits, where climbing vines provide sun-shade from the setting sun, and a privacy screen for the neighbours. 

▼所有的卧室都围绕着天然岩石边缘的生物池，房子的中心。All bed rooms centre around the natural rock-edged bio pool, the heart of the house

这座房子已经成为业主大家庭和朋友们的聚会场地，它也吸引了许多生物到此，从例如蜜蜂、蝴蝶以及松鼠。

This house has become the popular gathering place for the extended families and friends, and it has also attracted a host of biodiversity – from bees, butterflies to squirrels.

通过与自然共处，并不断与大自然接触，这座房子为生活在热带的“上流社会”提供了全新的定义。经过客户与顾问以及设计施工团队之间合作，使这种当代热带环境成为可能。

By living with and constantly in touch with nature, this house offers fresh definitions for ‘good class’ living in the tropics. It reflects the great collaboration between the client and the team of consultants and builders, in making this contemporary tropical setting possible.
