白色堡垒住宅丨TAEP,AAP

“白色堡垒”以高大厚实的围墙环绕，体现海湾北部建筑注重隐私和低调的特质。它不仅能抵御恶劣气候与干旱环境的侵袭，还包裹着一个宁静且充满吸引力的内部空间。住宅布局集中在地面层，以围墙围成的矩形空间为基础，围绕庭院有序分布。主要社交区域和庭院的玻璃立面经过精心设计，与住宅的传统结构相得益彰。每个庭院或院落都有独特的功能，分别用于迎客、休憩和庆祝，带来多样的体验。

Embodying the architectural attributes of Northern Gulf architecture of privacy and discretion, the White Fortress is enveloped by towering, thick walls that offer protection from the harsh climate and arid surroundings, while enclosing a serene and inviting interior. The dwelling program is laid out on the ground floor, organized around patios within a rectangular walled enclave. Glazed facades in the main social area and patios are thoughtfully integrated, complementing the dwelling’s traditional composition. Giving diversity of experiences, each patio or courtyard is designated with the different function; to greet, to rest, and to celebrate.

一个中央绿色“绿洲”将服务区域与私人及社交空间分隔开。室内设有宽敞的房间，这些房间通向不同形状的椭圆庭院和小型绿地，非线性的小径将住宅的各个元素巧妙连接。贯穿多个花园和庭院的轴线走廊，营造出层次分明的深度与光影，带领人们从主入口通往家庭私人空间。

A central green “oasis” divides the service areas from the private and social spaces. The interior is replete with generously proportioned rooms that open out onto various oval-shaped patios and small green gardens, connected by non-linear paths that bring all the elements of the dwelling together. A rhythmic play of depth and shadow is created as an axial circulation corridor crosses successive gardens and patios, leading from the main entrance to the private family spaces.

临海一侧，住宅将视线引向海湾，开放的铺装灰空间框定了海景的天际线，与沙丘和植被展开对话。住宅延伸至私人海滩，将室内空间与主要的社交活动区无缝衔接。

At the seaside, the dwelling embraces views of the Gulf Sea, framing the seascape’s horizontality with an open semi-covered paved space, engaging in a dialogue with the sand dunes and vegetation. The house extends to the private beach, seamlessly connecting the interior space with its main convivial social room.

在中央“绿洲”的核心区域，一座高耸的圆柱形结构格外引人注目。它如同海岸灯塔，向上延展，为独处与冥想提供宁静的环境。在塔内，人们可以通往屋顶，屋顶被设计成沉思漫步的空间。从屋顶和塔顶，俯瞰住宅花园、沙丘以及无尽的海平线，尽享广阔的全景。

In the heart of the central “oasis,” a tall cylindrical volume draws the eye. It stands as a seacoast lighthouse, soaring upwards as a space for solitude and meditation. It provides a calm environment for serenity and contemplation. From the tower, one can access the roof, which transforms into a contemplative walking space. The roof and tower offer panoramic views of the house gardens, the dunes, and the endless horizon of the sea.
