CLOUD HOUSE拥有动感的三维雕塑感外观。通常状况下，该尺寸的住宅侧立面都隐藏在狭窄阴暗的交通走廊中，且缺乏美学讲究。然而在此项目中，不规则的场地形状使建筑立面对街道可见，并因此成为住宅立面的基本组成部分。

CLOUD HOUSE has a dynamic, three-dimensional and sculptural character. Usually, lateral walls on this housing scale lack aesthetic intent and remain hidden in narrow, dark service corridors; however, the irregular format of this lot enabled a lateral face of the building to be visible from the street, making it a fundamental part of the composition of the main façade.

住宅外貌看似由一组白色体块堆积而成，形态妖娆。居住空间依照功能分设于这些建筑体量之内。居住空间的松散布局与建筑体量的无秩序堆叠相得益彰，如同云中的水分子一般。

The composition consists of a set of white monoliths that are stacked in an organic and lyrical way. Each part of the residence’s program is materialized in one of these cubic modules of varying dimensions in order to suit its function. The disorderly order of the composition is the result of the loose relationship between its parts, like the molecules of water in a cloud.

矩形形态的场地以45度角扭转，这使得与建筑配套的其他功能都发生了扭转。从粗糙厚重的混凝土车库，到平滑白皙的居住空间外墙，拐角两侧的建筑体量产生了强烈的对比。车库为一个可与外界直接交流的门廊，富有纹理的混凝土外墙与水石铺设的步行道将来访者引向住宅的大门。在进入居住空间之前，来访者将经过该处无序生长的葡萄藤。它们茂密而自由，平静如一场生活乐章的前奏曲。

The rectangle-shaped lot is bent at a 45-degree angle forcing all the program behind the garage to be rotated. This creates a contrast that accentuates the difference between the two main parts of the composition: the garage, a base of dark and rough concrete; and -the cloud-, of white and smooth surfaces. The garage is a portico that receives pedestrians and motorists alike: A carpet made of sea-salt texturized concrete and river stones receives you on the sidewalk and before leading you to the main access door, it takes you through a space inhabited by vines that grow freely on the walls, the floor and the roof without restriction. A gray prelude to a symphony of whiteness.

打开入口大门，居住空间里的一切都与低矮昏暗的门廊形成鲜明对比。双层高的入口空间让人不由自主的向上仰望。这里是建筑体量堆叠交汇的地方，是住宅的中心区域，也是居家生活的客厅。

After opening the main door, you find a dark and low corridor that prepares you for a great contrast with the next part of the journey. A double heighted space full of light makes you look up. This room is articulated by the continuity of voids generated between the white monoliths. This is the heart of the house, the center of the cloud containing the social areas.

尽管从外侧来看建筑似乎与外界隔绝，而事实上，住宅内部的巨大开窗却将内外的界限模糊了。窗并没有将打破建筑的私密性，取而代之的是，它将天空与风景收入其中，营造了宁静祥和的居住氛围。浑厚的白色墙壁和天花板采用低成本材料，并更注重于强调其形式而非质地。另一方面，内部家具也采用了质朴和舒适的材料。

Although from the outside, the house has a hermetic appearance, this room has large windows that blur the boundaries between interior and exterior. Views towards the neighboring constructions are avoided, framing only the sky and mountains, creating an atmosphere of distance and serenity. The white plastered walls and ceilings of this space are a low-cost solution that express a lack of materiality and emphasizes form over textures; On the other hand, rustic and cozy materials were chosen for the floor and furniture.

混凝土楼梯是住宅空间的重要组成部分，顺着楼梯，居住者穿行至二层半私密起居室。位于低处的舒适居住空间成为人由室外进入私密生活的过渡区域。三间卧室安置于住宅顶层，在阳光走廊的引导下，居住者抵达各自的私密空间。

The concrete stairs are a central and sculptural piece that takes you to a semi-private living room on the second level of the residence; a low and cozy space that serves as a transition to the third level where a corridor wrapped in overhead natural light takes you to the three independent and modest bedrooms.

CLOUD HOUSE将特殊的场地条件为己所用。居住生活围绕家庭共享空间平静展开。

CLOUD HOUSE takes advantage of the irregularities of its plot and turns them into design opportunities. The proposal gives priority to social spaces over private spaces to encourage family encounters and gatherings.
