SAOTA：对开放式的生活和居住或通过空间的需要共同激发了这个透明、简单的家庭住宅。SAOTA设计的空间位于迈阿密历史悠久的Collin滨水区的印第安小溪运河和松树路之间，既开阔又流畅——既能满足在运河活动时需要的开放空间，也可以在你需要隐私的时候提供空间。

SAOTA：Open plan living and the ability to live in and through your home has inspired this transparent and easy-living family home. Set between the Indian Creek Canal and Pine Tree Drive in Miami’s historic Collin’s Waterfront district, the SAOTA-designed space is expansive and fluid – opening up to the activity of the canal when desired, or contained when privacy is needed.

建筑坐落在一个具有强烈线性比例的多孔场地上，将景观和水体带入室内，创造了更大的空间感。通过加入内向型和外向型两种庭院设计，这栋房子可以从两个方向向外眺望。在房子的任一视角都能看到这些景观，因此，与户外产生了一种有形的、直接的关系。

Set on a strongly linear proportioned site, the building is porous, bringing the landscape and water bodies into the interior of the house to create a greater sense of space. Through the introduction of a number of introverted and extroverted courtyards, the house boasts views to the outside in two directions. These views are visible from almost any point in the house, creating a tangible and immediate relationship to the outdoors.

SAOTA的主管Philip Olmesdahl说:“这个设计既包含了很多生活区的景观，也包含了大西洋和世界闻名的迈阿密海滩的景观。”“虽然整体当代建筑设计是SAOTA设计团队的重点，但空间的使用和连接是主要驱动力——怎样使房子充满生命。”

“The design is as much about containment as it is about the views through the many living spaces, towards the Atlantic Ocean and world-renowned Miami Beach,” says SAOTA director, Philip Olmesdahl. “While the overall contemporary architectural design is a key focus of the SAOTA design team, the use and connectivity of the spaces is the primary driver – how the house lives.”

水上的生活方式是一种独特的迈阿密体验，SAOTA想要加强这一点，以适应迈阿密的夏季。总的来说，场地上整个水体的大小，大约占了六居室房子的一半空间。

The approach to living on the water is a unique Miami experience and something SAOTA sought to reinforce, in keeping with the continuous summers in Miami. In total, the size of the overall body of water on the site, is about half the space of the six-bedroom house.
