项目概述阐释

Project Statement

如果你来到泰国的北部，就会有机会遇见清莱居。它消融在周边的自然环境里，有着形式虚化的景观和自己独立属权的居住空间。

清莱居是以保护自然植被为核心而建造的。设计从保护场地现有树木的角度出发，使建筑与景观相得益彰。

In the northern part of Thailand, one encounters the Chiang Rai Residence. A project with an obscure form of landscape, merging both natural settings and buildings into a space that holds its own independent ownership, while at the same time blending in well with the context of the lives of thosethat dwell there. 

The Chiang Rai Residence is built with the preservation of natural plant life at its core. The design keeps the existing trees that give pretext to the design, by combining the house and landscape harmoniously.

The design described as both prosaic and aesthetic, balances its overall impression as simple and charming. This particular site is susceptible to drought in summer and the high precipitation in the rainy season causes soil erosion, therefore the landscape team placed a sustainable planting design and topography to alleviate the extremes. 

项目阐释
Project Narrative

清莱居的设计将平铺直叙的日常活动转化成了绘声绘色的生活场景。景观团队创建了一系列新的联系，并借此来营造出意想不到的参与体验。这个和周围环境紧密相连的景观，拒绝被所谓的‘形式’限制，而是选择通过‘留白空间’来与自然互动。清莱居的设计虽然看起来有悖于‘建筑先入为主’的理念，但其实是设计师对“如何将主体建筑和它的景观协同合作’的思考。

在这里，所谓‘景观形式’的深意代表着对所有权和物权的摧毁，因为这片自然景观既不属于这个住宅，也不属于住宅的主人。为了有别于突出建筑效果的设计手法，景观变成了安静平和的表达，消隐在葱郁的树林里。从外面看，几乎没有任何景观场景是突兀的。虚化的形式将坡地分成台阶，与两侧地形顺接平整，一切都像是被自然张力推拉而成。这里的风景不必强调建筑特色，而是变成了一种安静平和的背景，渐渐淡入郁郁葱葱的树林中。

The Chiang Rai Residence transports everyday affairs into new spectacular settings. The landscape team builds a new set of relationships and creates unexpected participation, creating a situation-related landscape that is never stylized but remains prosaic spaces for “natural” interaction. The project seems at odd with any architectural preconceptions one may have about how a predominant house and its landscape should work together. 

Upon arrival, the obscurity of the landscape’s “form” representsnot only the defeat of authorship but also ownership. Neither the house nor its owner owns this landscape. Rather, the landscape is set to be anintegral part of the lives it houses. From the outside, little ifanything of the landscape settings is overtly disclosed. Terrain is leveledand stratified without any legible geometric forms. Everything seems naturally drawn, pushed and pulled together by topographical forces. Instead of accentuating the house, the landscape becomes a mute or rather quiet expression, receding into the leaves of its lush trees.

地形和场所
Terrain and place

首先，也是最重要，是保留现场原有树木。以此为基调，树林赋予了建筑和景观设计自然的框架。在设计过程中，房屋与土地逐渐融合成为一个舞台，接纳并促进着场地中那些平淡和典雅的过渡。为此，团队也精心推敲了标高，使每级台阶可以与原始等高线顺接，来最小化人造景观对现有地形的干扰。在景观建筑师、建筑师、工程师和业主的共同努力下，现场的树木在整个施工过程中得到精心保护并被完好保留下来。

The first and foremost requirement is to keep the existing trees in their places. Thus, they act as a pretext to the design, giving the frame work for both the house and the landscape. Along the design process, the house and the land gradually merged, becoming a design platform that accepts and welcomes both prosaic and aesthetic transformation. Topographically orchestrated, levels and their stepping terraces are carefully designed to be integrated into existing topography, leaving the existing topographic forces uninterrupted. With collaborative effort of landscape architect, architect, engineers and client, the existing trees are carefully preserved and protected throughout the construction process. 

The landscape of Chiang Rai Residence can be seen as a network of relationships. This notion of participation allows the connection between interiority and exteriority, as well as the transition between distinct activities.

As a whole, the landscape of Chiang Rai Residence is formless, as if being shaped and reshaped by specific circumstances and situations. We never felt that the place is being “designed,” to have its own distinct identity; rather, it is being built as a framework of lives. 

Here, the task of describing the place becomes clearer. It is to develop vocabularies that will demonstrate how settings that are distinct from one another can also be interconnected. Only in this way will landscape setting be seen to exhibit not just remotenessbut familiarity; that is, typicality of the lives this landscape is intended to nurture.

Sustainable Planting Design is a key strategy for cost effective and long-term maintenance of the beauty and healthy landscape ecosystem. The site faces challenges of low nutrient soil with high pH rate and extreme weather. As a result, the landscape team values ecosystem services of the place and intend to create landscape design with minimum disturbance to the site’s natural settings. The landscape design is proposed to interweave the exterior vertical spaces while paying respect to keep the site’s topography level. Along the slope and hardscape areas, the landscape team selected permeable paving materials of local stone and fine gravel that allow water to naturally infiltrate in the ground.

由于场地位于泰国北部，夏季易受干旱影响，而雨季又会因大量降水而导致水土流失。为了应对这些挑战，景观团队精心挑选了当地耐性好、适应性强的植物品种来抗洪耐旱(如：紫茎泽兰、狼尾草、块茎芸香等具有较强的根系持土性和耐旱性）；并种植固氮植物、豆科植物等，以改善现有的营养缺乏土壤。

Located in Northern Thailand, the site is prone to drought in summer and risk of erosion in the rainy season due to high levels of precipitation. In response to the challenges, the landscape team carefully selected local, tough and adaptive planting species that tolerate drought, while having the ability to sustain heavy rain. Chrysopogonzizanioides, Pennisetumsetaceum (Forssk.) Chiov, and Ruelliatuberosa L. are being qualified as its strong root system to hold the topsoil and drought tolerant. Planting nitrogen fixing plants like legume families such as Arachis pintoi toimprove nutrition deficiency in the existing soil. 

在水资源可持续管理方面，设计通过结合台地和植被来对降雨进行策略性的管控。随着重力作用，地表径流将被分散在整个场地，被耐水湿的本土植物吸收。此外，设置在场地最低处的雨水花园保证了在暴雨期间仍能收集和储存雨水，并辅助自然渗透。层层叠叠的植物结合雨水花园营造出了独特的生活环境，而这些环境不仅赏心悦目，还能成长为场地自身的生态系统的一部分，帮助它更好的应对气候变化和自然衍替。

In terms of water sustainable management, rainfalls are strategically managed through different leveling layers of terrain and vegetation. Following the gravity, surface runoff water will be captured and absorbed by native, water-tolerant and tough planting species which disperse throughout thesite. The rain garden is located at the lowest level of the terrain to collect and store water during heavy rain, and allow natural infiltration.

The layers of plants and rain gardens create distinct settings that are not only to be looked at, but are also support the site's own ecosystem while welcoming changes and transformation.
