Cantilever: Volumes Suspended Above Ground

A two-story futuristic minimalist residence, where the upper white volume cantilevers out approximately ten meters with no supporting columns underneath; the lower level recedes into a dark glass box, almost disappearing into the shadows. The underside of the cantilevered volume is a smooth, seamless white surface, with thin, sharp edges. It appears as if the upper level is floating in the air. Avoid: adding supporting columns or diagonal braces under the cantilever, making the lower volume as bright and eye-catching as the upper, exposing beams and division lines on the underside of the cantilever, or making the cantilever a thick, heavy concrete slab.

一棟二層樓的未來感極簡住宅,上層的白色量體向外懸挑約十公尺,底下沒有任何柱子;下層退縮成一個深色玻璃盒子,幾乎隱沒在陰影裡。懸挑量體的底面是平整無縫的白色,邊緣薄而銳利。看起來像是上層浮在空中。避免:在懸挑下方加上支撐柱或斜撐、讓下層量體和上層一樣亮而搶眼、在懸挑底面露出樑與分割線、把懸挑做成厚重的混凝土板。
