Flat Roof and Disappearing Parapet: A Pure Box

A two-story white box house with a flat roof, where the parapet wall is deliberately kept completely flush with the roof surface. Drainage is handled by internal downspouts and hidden gutters around the roof perimeter. From the outside, the top edge of the wall forms the building's skyline—an absolutely straight horizontal line, without any coping, capping, or protrusions. The walls are seamless white mineral coating, with sharp right-angle corners. Windows are frameless glass flush with the wall surface, with no sills or lintels. The entire building appears as a precisely cut solid. Avoid: parapet wall higher than the roof surface, addition of coping stones or metal trim, exposed downspouts, windows with frames or sills.

一棟兩層的白色方盒住宅,屋頂是平的,而且刻意讓女兒牆完全不高出屋面——排水改用內落水與屋面周邊的隱藏溝槽,所以從外面看,牆面的頂端就是建築的天際線,是一條絕對筆直的水平線,沒有任何收邊、壓頂或凸起。牆面是無縫的白色礦物塗料,轉角是銳利的直角。窗是與牆面齊平的無框玻璃,沒有窗台也沒有窗楣。整棟建築看起來像一個精確切割的實體。避免:女兒牆高出屋面、加入壓頂石或金屬收邊、外露落水管、窗做成有框或有窗台。
