新加坡實裏達公園住宅

英文名稱：Singapore Seletar Park House

位置：新加坡

設計公司：SCDA Architects

攝影師：Aaron Pocock

這是由SCDA Architects設計的實裏達公園住宅。這是一個與自然融合的項目。抵達現場，入口兩側是兩列成熟的雨林樹木，吸引遊客進入一個被周邊環繞的空地。設計主題不斷重複、讓人加深印象，從而創建了一個親切而與自然相融合的住宅。矩形形態的邊緣與線條打破了各個體塊的體量，同時通過框架、遮陽壁板、立面開創以及格柵等元素的重複利用創建了豐富的紋理，從而提供了一個簡潔優雅的背景。

From the architect. A meaningful engagement with nature was the driving thought behind the conceptualization of Seletar Park Residence. Upon arrival at the site, the entrance is lined with mature rain trees, greeting the visitor almost ceremoniously before the space extends onwards to open into a clearing embraced by the surrounding terrain. This theme is recurring and impressed – preserved in the design to create a home that first welcomes and lateroffers experiences with nature. Providing a backdrop of simple elegance, the fine edges and sharp lines of the rectilinear forms break down the massing of the blocks while offering a textured fabric through repetition of frames, sun-shading ledges, façade fins and trellises. Rigorous in its application, this fabric lines the site boundaries, forming a canvas onto which a central landscaped court is strongly expressed.

To create intimacy in the vast court, the ground plane is separated into two, one of which is sunken and leads down into the basement level via a set of landscaped stairs. The main pool is placed on the higher plane, creating a reflecting vista towards the feature clubhouse, which is furnished for the residents’ enjoyment.

The water element then breaks down into cascading pools in the sunken half, with large planters interspersed to appear as floating landscapes, and culminates in a tranquil reflective pool and shaded court shared with the other communal facilities of the clubhouse. Spatially, each apartment is provided with a balcony or private enclosed space stretching across the entire length of the unit, thus extending the interiors to the outdoors. These intermediate spaces are finished in timber, allowing the palette of natural materials and colours to flow from private to communal spaces. The interaction of the living spaces with the lush gardens and water courts engenders a sensuous engagement with the elements, resulting in a calming, peaceful environment.
