Quadrangle Garden Villa, Suzhou 四合园墅，苏州

这个项目的基地位于苏州南郊的一个别墅区，业主希望将原有的独栋别墅拆除，重建一栋现代的园墅。大多数独栋别墅区从平面上看会得到院墙围成一圈而房子在中间的图底关系，因此形成房子只是室内而院子只是空地的单调场所，没有任何室内外的空间渗透。我们的设计策略首先是将建筑拆分为4个二层的体量，围合出一个中庭院；其次，沿着东南的院墙设置边廊，必要的节点位置设置亭和榭，由此在建筑主体和边廊之间形成东南主庭园。人们从东北的入口进入园墅，沿着廊经过东南的主园游走进入中庭院，或先向西拐入中庭院后游东南的主园，由此内外的空间产生了有趣的游走互动体验以及丰富的层次感。南面透明的一楼主厅更增加了内外空间在视觉上的相互渗透。另一个重要的议题是，如何利用别墅建筑地上两层、地下一层的楼层布局形成立体的园林。我们在二层设置了一系列的天井、内院和露台，让人不觉得置身于楼上；在地下室设置下沉庭园和L型泳池，以及局部的地下通高空间，让人不觉身在地下。通过这样的设计手法，整个建筑的楼层概念被模糊化，在有限的空间中仿佛有了无限的体验。

The site of this project is located in a villa district in the southern suburbs of Suzhou. The client wanted to demolish the old house and to build a modern garden-villa. Most villa districts show a figure-ground relation, a house set in the center with bounding walls surrounded, so that a boring area is formed. The house is only a volume containing its interior and the yard is just a piece of open land without any spatial permeation between interior and exterior. Our design strategies are firstly to split the whole into four two-story volumes, forming a central courtyard; then corridors are set alone bounding walls and pavilions are placed at joint points when needed, so that a main garden is formed in the southeast of the site, between the main building and the corridors. People enter the villa by the entrance in the northeast, going along the corridors, passing through the main garden, arriving at the central courtyard, or turn to the west firstly, getting into the central courtyard and then visiting the main garden in the southeast. The inner and outer space provide an interesting promenade experience and a strong layering feeling. The transparent façade of the main salon in the southern volume intensify visually the permeation between inner and outer spaces. Another important issue is to utilize the vertical layout of the villa building, two floors with a basement, to form a three-dimensional garden. A series of courtyards and terraces are placed on the 2nd floor, which make people forget the floor; A “L” shaped swimming pool, a sunken courtyard and duplex space are set, which make people forget that they are on the basement floor. In this way the conception of “Floor” is fuzzified, there seems to be infinite spatial experiences in this limited building.
