乍一看，独立房屋的面积似乎已与新市镇的单调景观发生了变化，新城以公寓楼为主。不幸的是，这一地区不但没有提供有趣的空间多样性，反而产生了一个视觉嘈杂的地区，资本家和建筑师的野心导致了大量时髦的材料和颜色。此外，由于土地的分割方式，不仅在形状上，而且在面积上，以及在狭窄的道路上，使租户难以保持隐私。因此，有一种奇怪的现象，就是在日落的时候，所有的路边百叶窗都会同时被拉下来。

At first glance, the area for detached houses seems to have changed from the monotonous landscape of the new town, which is dominated by apartment buildings. Unfortunately, rather than providing interesting spatial diversity, the area has actually produced a visually noisy area where the ambitions of capitalists and architects have resulted in a hodgepodge of trendy materials and colors. Furthermore, privacy is made difficult for tenants because of the way the land has been divided, not only in shape but also in size, as well as the narrow width of the roads. Consequently, there is the strange phenomenon of all the wayside window blinds being simultaneously pulled down at sunset.

这座房子的设计是从一种无声的外部建筑策略开始的。一个简单的前面定义为混凝土墙发挥关键的视觉作用，中和周围无序的材料。此外，通过阻挡路人的视线，这堵墙充当了一条边界，让居民们可以根据自己的口味来装饰室内，同时屏蔽来自西方的阳光。这一边框还满足了客户根据每个居民的个人喜好来装饰每个空间的愿望，从而实现了他对三代同居者的亲密理解。

The design of this house started with an architectural strategy for a silent exterior. A simple front defined as the concrete wall plays a key visual role by neutralizing the disorderly materials around it. Also, by blocking the gaze of passersby, the wall acts as a border to allow the residents to decorate the interior to their own tastes, while at the same time screening sunlight from the west. This border also serves to satisfy the client’s desire to decorate each space according to each resident’s personal taste, so as to fulfill his intimate understanding of each member of the cohabitating three generations.

由于家庭是一个大家庭，很大一部分空间分配给每个成员作为房间，不可避免地使公共空间相对较小。特别是很难为居民的四个小孩规划足够的室内和室外空间，让他们四处跑来跑去玩耍。甚至在考虑该方案之前，资本主义利用最大空间的逻辑使得在地面建造室外空间变得更加困难。

As the family is a large one, a generous portion of the space is allotted as rooms for each member, inevitably making the communal space relatively small. It is particularly hard to plan enough indoor and outdoor space for the resident’s four little children to run around and play in. Even before considering the programme, the capitalist logic of utilizing the maximum amount of space possible, makes construction of an outdoor space at ground level much more difficult.

Silentium的策略是把屋顶作为一个户外区域，而不是利用地面上几乎没有多余的空间。小巷尽头一座小山的怀旧形象，成了楼梯不同宽度、高度和坡度的动力。这些楼梯成为通向屋顶的一条小路，而屋顶又被定义为游乐场。在屋内和屋外延伸，楼梯将提供一个丰富的公共空间，供整个家庭共享。

Silentium’s strategy is to use the roof as an outdoor area rather than utilize the barely spare slips of space on the ground level. The nostalgic image of a hill at the end of the alley became the motive for the different width, height and slope of the stairs. These stairs become a path that lead to the roof, which in turn is defined as a playground. Extending both inside and outside the house, the stairway will provide a plentiful communal space for the entire family to share.

(2)Silentium位于安阳寺鼓阳洞规划单元区内。分区单位规划手册一般提供有关建筑物与土地的比率、楼面面积比率、建筑物的颜色、屋顶及墙壁的形状的指示，以规管城市的景色。

(2) Silentium is situated inside the planned unit district of Gwanyang dong, Anyang-si. District Unit Planning manuals generally provide instructions for building to land ratio, floor area ratio, colors of buildings, shapes of roofs and walls, in an attempt to regulate the city scenery.
