Architecture studio SO designed this bunker-like concrete house in the Thai city of Chiang Mai around a pathway that provides locals a shortcut between two roads.
这个工作室以场地情境为基础进行设计，这个房子的业主拥有这个地块有好几年了，但一直没有使用它。
随着时间的流逝，当地人们已经习惯使用两条道路之间的路线，因此开拓了一条横跨整个场地捷径。
The studio, which is also known as Situation-based Operation, designed the house for a client who had owned the plot for several years but had left it unused.
Over time, local people had used the route between two roads so much it had eroded a path representing the shortest route across the site.
The owner was keen to retain this useful thoroughfare when he commissioned his new home to be constructed on the site, so the path became a feature of the house's design.
"The result is a building that fuzzily sits between privacy and public domain, whereas the owner can live his private life within the double enclosed space," said the project architect, Narong Othavorn.
The project is titled Fuzzy House to reflect the indistinct relationship between its private and public attributes.
从沿街面可以看到，住宅呈现出一个坚实的外观，让外界认为它是一个边界墙或者一个简单的工业厂房的感觉。
住宅的另一端是车库的出入口，这条小路穿过一片杂草走向一条延伸到整个建筑宽度的街巷。
From the street, the house presents a solid facade that lends it the feel of a boundary wall or a simple industrial unit.
At one end is an opening for a garage, while the path leads through a patch of weeds towards an alley that extends across the full width of the site.
The alley separates the main house from a narrow garden concealed behind the opposite wall. The garden can only be reached by entering the house and ascending to a roof terrace, before crossing a bridge over the path and descending on the other side.
The house's ground floor contains an open-plan living room, kitchen and dining area lined on one side by windows that look onto a terrace. This void allows daylight to reach the living spaces at the centre of the building.
The ceiling above the living area is stepped and forms a rooftop terrace where guests can relax and watch as people pass through the front yard.
生活空间中，可以从主卧俯瞰到墙面上设计的彩色壁画。一层空间中还包括浴室、书房和花园。
The living space features a colourful mural on one wall and is overlooked by the master bedroom. The ground floor also contains a bathroom, study and garden.
卧室中附带有配套浴室，毗邻车库。这个颜色深沉的空间有一个沐浴区，通过玻璃门连接到私人露台。
The bedroom is adjoined by a large en-suite bathroom that looks down onto the garage at the front. The dark space includes a built-in bathing area connected to a private terrace by a pair of glazed doors.
SO previously designed another property in the same city featuring a series of indoor and outdoor rooms, including a bathroom with a glazed wall that opens directly onto a swimming pool and outdoor deck.
