Appreciation towardsO’Neill Rose Architects for providing the following description:

Choy宅是美国纽约皇后区的一栋小住宅。它的特别之处在于它内部住着三个家庭，而这三个家庭的动线和空间互不干扰，同时，这三个家庭是一家人。

Our client asked us to build a home for himself, his wife and two small children,  his younger brother and his wife, and their mother—the matriarch of the

family. Our challenge was to design three homes under one roof, in a neighborhood of Queens which is defined by single family homes. We created three

disparate dwellings with areas of connection and overlap that reflect the familial relationships.

房子有两种颜色，一个白色的小体量加上一个外表覆盖木板的大体量。业主，他和他的妻子还有他们的两个孩子住在木材表皮大体量的二层和三层。业主的

母亲，住在大体量的一层（这里有一个阶梯状的美丽花园）。业主的弟弟以及弟弟的妻子住在白色的小体量中。这三个家庭紧密联系但又拥有各自的完整空

间。

We decided to create three disparate dwellings with areas of connection and overlap. The narrow slice at the front creates a triplex for the married couple;

the client and his family occupy the rest of the first and second floors. The lower level, which opens up to the sunken terraced garden, is where the

grandmother lives. With front doors only a few feet from each other, the brothers live as neighbors, and all of the spaces connect through the lower level; the

ground floor family room and the outdoor pavilion are primary gathering spaces for the whole family.

两兄弟的入户门仅仅距离几公尺。整个住宅三户人家的汇聚空间主要在底层和室外花园。因为客户是建筑材料的制造商，为此建筑师在这个设计中使用了客

户车间中的金属废品用来制作餐厅灯具和楼梯。实现了效率使用物质。

Many of the elements in the residences are collaborations between our firm and the client who is a builder that specializes in residential construction.  As

part of our collaboration we re-purposed excess materials from other construction projects of his. For example, the stair treads are 6x12 engineered wood

beams cut in half diagonally, and the dining room light fixtures in both dining rooms were designed by O'Neill Rose Architects from scrap metal pieces we

found in our client’s workshop.
