Organic Curves · Atrium: Forming a Circle

The internal courtyard of a residential complex, where a four-story building forms an incompletely closed oval. Each floor's curved corridor faces the courtyard, with soft white curved balustrades on the outer edge of the corridor. The courtyard ground is a lawn with a large tree, and the oval opening faces south to let in sunlight. Looking up from the courtyard, the sky is framed into a rounded shape.
Avoid: making the courtyard a square lightwell, using metal railings and straight lines for the corridors, paving the entire courtyard ground with hard surfaces, and the building enclosing the space completely, making it dark.

一棟集合住宅的內部中庭,四層樓的建築圍成一個不完全閉合的橢圓形,每一層的弧形走廊面向中庭,走廊外緣是柔和的白色曲面欄板;中庭地面是草坪與一棵大樹,橢圓的開口朝向南方引進陽光。從中庭仰望,天空被框成一個圓潤的形。避免:把中庭做成方正的天井、走廊使用金屬欄杆與直線、中庭地面全部鋪成硬鋪面、建築圍合得完全封閉陰暗。
