翠湖苑，蒲種，雪蘭莪，馬來(lái)西亞

1 后巷作為社區(qū)公園和人行通道使用/The back lane is dressed as a communal garden and pedestrian way

翠湖苑坐落于吉隆坡的外圍，是一個(gè)封閉的住宅小區(qū)。位置緊鄰湖泊，占地面積23.5hm2。設(shè)計(jì)者認(rèn)識(shí)到人們對(duì)更加優(yōu)質(zhì)城市住宅的需要，主旨也是要開發(fā)一個(gè)不僅有住宅、也有適宜環(huán)境的規(guī)劃項(xiàng)目，使這里成為每個(gè)人都能稱之為家的地方。

設(shè)計(jì)構(gòu)思由湖泊得到啟發(fā)，將熱帶花園融入了包含帶狀公園與成排住宅之間綠帶的規(guī)劃中，這些帶狀元素又與湖邊的休息廣場(chǎng)相連。小區(qū)入口處佇立著安保室，周邊也有安全保障措施。因此，其中所有的獨(dú)棟住宅都不再設(shè)圍欄，這也鼓勵(lì)了居住者之間的互動(dòng)，并促進(jìn)了整個(gè)居住社區(qū)的互助氣氛。

入口大道作為花園主軸“打開”了整座小區(qū)，并延伸至整個(gè)住宅區(qū)。駕駛汽車從安保室沿大道繼續(xù)向前行駛，由帶狀公園和綠帶形成的一個(gè)個(gè)開放的“口袋”空間將逐一展開，在人們眼中呈現(xiàn)出豐富多樣的景觀。各種花園交疊變化的景觀結(jié)束于臨湖休憩廣場(chǎng)寬敞的開放空間。這一連串的體驗(yàn)也會(huì)在獨(dú)棟住宅的設(shè)計(jì)中以住宅結(jié)合花園設(shè)計(jì)的方式得到再現(xiàn)。

通往各居住單元的道路蜿蜒曲折，使住宅單元反復(fù)出現(xiàn)的笛卡爾坐標(biāo)系形式顯得更為柔和，同時(shí)也完善了花園的設(shè)計(jì)概念。在道路的交叉口和轉(zhuǎn)彎處都設(shè)有鋪地，道路盡端封閉也讓道路主軸變得更為安全。為了推動(dòng)鄰里社區(qū)及各個(gè)花園的連續(xù)一貫，有鋪地的人行步道和花園從住宅單元的前方穿過(guò)，然后由住宅后巷貫通整個(gè)地塊。

居住設(shè)計(jì)的表現(xiàn)手法是現(xiàn)代主義的，其設(shè)計(jì)核心則是適應(yīng)熱帶地區(qū)的。住宅區(qū)室外氛圍清新、輪廓清爽、線條彎曲柔和，每個(gè)單元的建筑體量則通過(guò)設(shè)計(jì)延伸的墻面、厚薄不均的墻體、不同形式的壁柱以及深度的懸挑等元素得到消解?！酰ㄐ熘m 譯）

At the outskirts of Kuala Lumpur, Lake Edge is a gated residential neighbourhood within a 58 acres land that borders a lake. Recognising the need for better urban homes, the idea is to develop a planning programme that not only provide houses but a proper living environment where one may call a home.

Taking design cues from the lake, the concept incorporates the tropical garden into the planning with linear parks and green strips between housing rows that connect to an esplanade at the edge of the lake. A guardhouse stands vigilant at the main entrance of the neighbourhood and with the perimeter of the whole development secured, the individual houses make do without fences, in turn encouraging interaction and nurturing a close-knit,neighbourly community.

An entrance boulevard that acts as the garden spine 'opens up' and expands the neighbourhood.Driving down the boulevard from the guardhouse,different views present themselves from 'pockets' of open spaces created by the linear parks and green strips. This progression of parks then terminates at the lake esplanade with the wide open spaces of the lake. This sequential experience would also repeat itself in the design of the individual houses in the manner which the gardens are brought into the houses.

Access roads to the residential units are curvilinear and meander that soften the repetitive Cartesian forms of the housing units and complements the garden concept. The roads are paved at its junctions and bends that then end in cul-de-sacs that allow the road spine to be safer. To promote the continuity of the neighbourhood and its parks, paved pedestrian walkways and gardens run in front of the residential units and the backlanes throughout the whole development.

The expression of the residential design is modern but the gist is tropical. The exterior is crisp, clean cut and stream lined where the mass of each unit is broken down by means of extended wall planes, different wall thickness, different wall columns and deep overhangs.□
