近日， SAOTA 帶來了他們的最新作品—— Flanders House 。簡約而優雅的住宅坐落在比利時 Flanders 地區的一片廣闊林地上。 SAOTA 將這座現代建築打造成一個與眾不同的存在，並與周圍的自然環境建立了一種真實、和諧的關系，同時為居住者構建了一處寧靜、溫馨和外向的生活環境。
Recently, SAOTA presented their latest creation, Flanders House. Simple yet elegant residence is set in a vast woodland area in the Flanders region of Belgium. SAOTA has created a distinct presence in this modern building, creating a real and harmonious relationship with the surrounding natural environment, while creating a peaceful, welcoming and outgoing living environment for its occupants.
設計的總體規劃包括位於地下室停車場頂部的主體建築和一個以家庭辦公為功能需求的亭子。這些空間透過景觀庭院、一系列的魚池設定和一個中央遊泳池相互連線。從建築外觀上來看，將堅實的立方體和彼此關聯的玻璃結構並置在一起，並透過三面環繞的光滑頂篷構成室外露台，使兩者和諧統一。
The master plan includes a main building on top of the basement parking lot and a pavilion that functions as a home office. These Spaces are connected by landscaped courtyards, a series of fish pond Settings and a central swimming pool. Externally, the juxtaposition of a solid cube and an interconnected glass structure is harmonized by a smooth canopy that wraps around three sides to form an outdoor terrace.
一排排垂直的立柱有著屏風般的裝飾作用。為了反映室內布局，立面設計結合了傳統的、功能明確的房間向外延續到露台，同時向內拓展到擁有天窗的中庭。這種建築方式在夏季能夠營造出一種室內外緊密結合的生活模式；而在冬季則營造出一種舒適的、內斂的空間氛圍。
Rows of vertical columns have a screen like decorative effect. Reflecting the interior layout, the facade incorporates traditional, functional rooms that extend outwards to the terrace, while extending inwards to the atrium with skylights. This architectural method can create a close combination of indoor and outdoor living mode in the summer; In winter, it creates a comfortable, restrained space atmosphere.
住宅外立面采用了內斂的材料和色調，包括 Giallo D'Istria 大理石、砂巖地板、鑲嵌式 Alucobond 鋁板以及壁爐周圍的超大尺度的玻璃等。精確的建築細節、構造與有機的材料質感相互映襯，彰顯出極具個性的、深刻內涵的審美趣味。
The exterior of the house is clad in discreet materials and tones, including Giallo D'Istria marble, sandstone floors, inlaid Alucobond aluminum panels and oversized glazing around the fireplace. The precise architectural details, construction and organic material texture complement each other, revealing a very personal and profound aesthetic interest.
