Asymmetry is the Norm: Houses Grow

An irregularly planned mansion. The main body is a long volume, with two wings extending from the sides. Parts added at different times have varying ridge heights, different window sizes, and material differences, forming an undulating silhouette. Axial symmetry does not exist here. Avoid: making the facade symmetrical, making all ridge heights equal, making window sizes and spacing perfectly regular, or organizing the volumes into a neat, square box.

一棟平面不規則的宅邸。主體是一個長條量體,側面接出兩翼,不同時期加建的部分屋脊高度不一、開窗大小不同、材料也有差異,形成起伏的輪廓。中軸對稱在這裡不存在。避免:把立面做成左右對稱、讓所有屋脊等高、開窗的大小與間距完全規律、把量體整理成方正的盒子。
