苏州园林艺术是古人的生活智慧和哲学,我们一直尝试通过设计实践来理解和探索古典园林的精神和技法。而随于时代，自然山水意境中的清新、优雅与闲适更是纷繁城市中的归真返璞。结合当代人的生活，我们认为这种东方哲学应于“境”而非于“形”，更需要研究的是适应现代人生活的空间体验而不拘泥于传统造园手法的复刻。

The Chinese garden art of Suzhou is a demonstration of ancient wisdom and philosophy. We have been understanding and exploring the spirit and techniques of ancient Chinese garden through designing and execution. The freshness, grace, and leisure found in the natural elements of Chinese gardens are timelessly innocent. We believe designs expressions incorporating Chinese gardens should focus on the spirit rather than the skin. Furthermore studying on modern lifestyle and spatial experience triumph cloning traditional garden building.

▼水院一览，overall view of the water garden

原溪庭院位于苏州姑苏区，距离“留园”1公里。不到1万平方米用地范围周边古树参天，弥漫着浓浓的历史文化名城和生活氛围。庭院由入口、停车场、建筑上下水院和内庭空间组成。建筑是未来的社区活动中心，对外开放，也是走进住区的入口场所。

Stream Villa is located in Suzhou’s Gusu District. It’s less than one kilometer from the famed Liu Garden. Just under ten thousand square meters, the area is surrounded by towering trees and filled with history and living atmosphere. The courtyard consists of entrance, carpark, upper and lower water compound, and inner compound. The courtyard will be the future community centre and open to the public. It will also serve as the entrance to the residential area.

“委曲松篁迳，清新锦绣篇。蟠胸有丘壑，随处是林泉”，江南园林中的诗画意境并非仅为表现生活的享受，更重要是在生活栖息的空间传达人追寻自然、感知自然的情感和价值观念。考虑到设计场地独特的地域文化属性，并结合使用功能，在设计理念上，每一个庭院都围绕着“自然”主题展开东方意境的体验和思考。而在尺度不大的用地范围内，建筑、室内和景观尝试了更好的协同与因借。

Ancient poetries written in Chinese gardens usually convey people’s desire to follow nature, sense the feeling and value of nature, beyond simply describing enjoyment of life. Similarly when designing the courtyard we considered the unique regional history and culture, infusing the idea of nature in the experience and thinking of eastern artistic conception. Within the limited land area, structures, interior and landscape achieved harmonious complement.

空林
Empty woods

“空林”是走进入口内的第一个水庭院。中心静谧的水面、建筑和三面连廊交相辉映，水面映射着建筑背后的树林、泠冽的山石之墙还有天空。庭院的空间在此处是内向而留白的，但它似乎又满载着所有的景物，并分隔了墙外的喧嚣，恬静而悠然。一丛小树破水而出，在这里产生了独特的感染力，展现着无尽的生命气息。它和西侧自然的山石墙窜接了上下层的空间。建筑、室内和庭院在此相互交融，彼此空间共享。内与外、虚与实、刚与柔，我们希望使用者在此能够感受到一种在传统园林建筑中类似的有趣体验。

Empty woods is the first water yard after coming through the entrance. The tranquil water surface adds radiance and beauty of the structures and three walls of corridors. The water mirrors the woods behind the structures, the cold stonewall, as well as the sky. The space of the yard seems inward and empty on purpose, but it is fully loaded with reflection of everything. It separated the project from the rumble of the street outside, presenting an image of serenity and leisure.

盈绿
Green-embodying

从水庭穿过旋转木门就来到树的庭院。与极简的水庭院不同，树庭院内柔软的植物、起伏的地形、丰富而精致的地被和厚重的置石成为基调，空间充满着清新自然的气息。走进树的庭院，这里是住区生活的场所。人的活动应该是多样和可选择的，我们强调空间氛围的体验而非点对点的纯视觉画面。斑驳的树影下，绿意盎然的自然之美才是住区生活的开始。

Passing through the revolving wooden door from the water yard comes the tree yard. Contrasting the minimalism of the water yard, the tree yard holds fresh natural atmosphere, with slender plants, ups and downs of terrain, rich and delicate ground flora, as well as theme set by full-bodied stone wall. The tree yard forms part of the living space, where residents are able to conduct all sorts of activities as they feel like. We emphasise on the experience of spatial ambient, rather than point to point pure visual stimulation. Under the shadow of the tree, greenery of the nature signifies the start of living.
