Appreciations towards Neri&Hu Design and Research Office for providing the following description: 

多代同堂的传统四合院是儒家思想在栖居空间上的诠释，“同一屋檐”隐喻了共居概念。在新加坡私宅项目中，如恩从四合院汲取灵感，使建筑成为连接家庭成员之间的情感纽带。在委托时，业主提出了一些构想：首先，原址重建的住宅空间能够容纳兄弟姐妹三人及各自组建的家庭；其次，能有一座花园，以纪念他们已故的母亲；最后，保留旧建筑中的坡屋顶设计，作为他们童年回忆的寄托。旧建筑带有英国殖民时期独栋平房的风格，融入了维多利亚风格的装饰细节以及当地的传统马来建筑元素，其遮风避雨的深屋檐依稀可辨。鉴于当地的自然气候，坡屋顶满足了建筑的功能性，同时也是栖居者情感依恋的表达。如恩将坡屋顶的意象与四合院的建筑形式融合，为传统建筑带来新的诠释与解读。

The traditional Chinese courtyard house or siheyuan is a typology well-known for its illustration of Confucian ideals, accommodating extended family units wherein many generations live under one roof. To live under the same roof means to live together, and this metaphor is the nexus that ties the notion of community, especially in an intimate context, to the form crafted for this project. For this private residence commission, Neri&Hu are given a set of unique requests by the client: the new house constructed in place of the previous one should accommodate all three siblings, who as adults have outgrown their shared house; it should include a small memorial space in the form of a garden for their late mother; lastly, the new construction should retain the memory of the pitched-roof form, a defining feature of their childhood home. The previous house was built in the style of the British colonial bungalow, with hybrid elements of traditional Malay houses such as deep roof eaves for rain sheltering, as well as Victorian details. Understanding the functional importance of the roof and the client’s emotional attachment to its form, Neri&Hu embrace the symbolic nature of the pitched roof and combine it with a reinterpretation of the courtyard house.

如恩试图通过空间形式的表达来探索共同居住和集体记忆的概念。原址郁郁葱葱的植被沿着缘线形成自然绿化带，这一景致在设计中被保留了下来。新建的两层住宅围绕着中庭的纪念花园而展开，连接所有的公共空间。花园作为先母的纪念场所，占据了露天庭院。一楼的栖居空间与自然相互对话。通透的玻璃墙面使所有的空间与内外花园连接起来。如恩旨在将公共区域的视觉通透性最大化，包括：客厅、开放式厨房、餐厅及书房。这样，无论居住者立于何处，都能在茂密植被的环绕下，望向中央的纪念花园。在温度适宜时，居住者可移动打开大型玻璃门进行通风，亦可随时通往花园。

In this project, Neri&Hu have explored how notions of communal living and collective memory can be expressed spatially. The original site featured a lush vegetated edge that formed a natural green buffer along the perimeter, a feature that designers have retained. The new two-story house organizes all communal spaces around a central garden, which occupies the courtyard space serving as a memorial garden for the family’s matriarch. The ground level is extroverted in nature, with expansive glass walls to connect all spaces to the gardens along the edge of the site. Neri&Hu aim to maximize visual transparency from the communal areas – living room, open kitchen, dining room, and study, so that from the ground floor the inhabitants may look into the central memorial garden while cocooned by the dense vegetation surrounding the house. Large glass doors can slide open, so that in optimal temperate conditions the house can take advantage of cross ventilation and direct access to the gardens.

如恩在二楼的设计上延用了坡屋顶，具有“庇护”意义的同时，或将公共与私人空间进行划分，或模糊两者的边界。卧室均位于更为私密的二楼，隐秘于屋顶的山墙之下。从外部看去，整栋楼仍然像一座四面坡屋顶的独栋平层。天窗、卧室与阳台间的大面积玻璃墙，将视野向外延伸，引入室外景观。通过剖面的相互作用，三处双层挑高空间连接了一楼的公共空间与二楼走道。这些空间相互渗透，使居住者得以在私人空间观察公共区域，创造了垂直层面的视觉联动。

For the upper level, Neri&Hu pursue the idea of the pitched-roof form as not only a signifier of shelter, but also an element that both unifies and demarcates the public and private realms. All private bedrooms, located on the upper introverted level, are housed within the roof’s steep gables so that when seen from the exterior, the house retains the appearance of a single-story hipped-roof bungalow. Skylights and large glass walls connect to bedroom balconies where views are oriented outwards to the perimeter garden spaces. Through sectional interplay, the design team introduce three double-height areas to connect the communal functions and the corridors above. These spaces of interpenetration create vertical visual connections to allow one to peer into the public realm from the private.

步入纪念花园之前，屋顶上方的一处切空将一棵小树轻轻框入。阳台与采光井从坡屋顶的立面中雕刻而出，光滑的屋顶外部过渡到内部木板纹理的混凝土。一楼的动线基于围绕花园的环形空间，步行其中，沉静而流动，赋予纪念空间神圣的冥思。圆，无边无角，象征着身心的本源回归。纪念花园仿佛是“家”的心之所在，近在咫尺。那永远无法触及的回忆，成为集体生活记忆中不会褪去的底色。

One can see a carved void in the roof volume, which frames a small tree before arriving at the central memorial garden. On the exterior, where balconies and sky wells are carved out from the volume of the pitched-roof form, the walls transition from smooth to board-formed concrete to take on the texture of wooden planks. The circulation on the ground floor is based on the shape of the circle to reinforce the ambulatory experience of walking in the round and to define the memorial space as a sacred element. Since the circle has no edges or terminating vantage points, it allows one to always find a return to the center both spiritually and physically. The garden symbolically defines the heart of the home as an ever-palpable void, persisting as the common backdrop to the collective lives of all inhabitants.
