Definition: A manor is a house with land

A French manor with land. The house does not exist in isolation: in front, there is a gravel driveway and tree-lined avenues; behind, a geometric garden and vegetable patch; surrounding it are its own fields and woods. The symmetry and axis of the architecture extend onto the landscape. This house must be viewed together with its land. Avoid: depicting the building as a standalone volume without a site, having urban surroundings and neighboring houses, ignoring the relationship between the driveway and the axis, making the garden a casual, natural style.

一座有土地的法式莊園。房子不是單獨存在的:前面有碎石車道與林蔭、後面有幾何庭園與菜園、周圍是自己的田與林;建築的對稱與軸線一路延伸到地景上。看這棟房子必須連土地一起看。避免:把建築畫成沒有基地的單棟量體、讓周圍是都市與鄰房、忽略車道與軸線的關係、把庭園做成隨意的自然風。
