山的回归
Return of the Hill
重庆是一座生于山中的城市。重庆人根据地形发展了自己的土地利用方式，创造了独特的城市景观和生活方式。“工作室规模”在10.7公顷住宅小区的山居景观中承载并扩展了这一智慧。
Chongqing is a city born in the mountains. People in Chongqing have developed their own way of using lands with topography, and have created unique urban landscape and lifestyle. Atelier Scale has carried and extended this wisdom, in the landscape of the Hill Residence, 10.7-ha residential community.
Return of the Hill
项目现场有一座60米高的现有山丘。建筑师最初的总体规划对现场的自然地形造成了巨大破坏。山体的一部分将用16.5米高的垂直挡土墙完全整平，将山体的另一部分与场地隔开。Atelier Scale不遵循总体规划，而是建议从山丘到场地进行更平滑的过渡：1.重新修整场地，以遵循现有山脊地形；2.恢复现场与相邻自然之间的无障碍连接；3.将返回的山丘变为社区客厅，将山丘的其他部分变为公共公园。
There is an existing hill with a height of 60 meters located in the project site. The original master plan by architects causes great damage to the natural topography of the site. Part of the hill will be completely leveled with a vertical retaining wall of 16.5 meter high, separating the other part of the hill and the site. Instead of following the master plan, Atelier Scale proposes a smoother transition from the hill to the site: 1. Regrade the site in order to follow existing ridge topography; 2. Restore an accessible connection between the site and adjacent nature; 3. Turn the returned hill into a community living room and other part of the hill into a public park.
Community as Ecological Patch
绿意盎然的山居总面积10.7公顷。连接小山和社区的山脊走廊长170米，宽40米。它既是一条连接道路，也是一条微生态走廊。季节性小溪中的微型生物区和沿着山路的水杉是鸟类和两栖动物的踏脚石。
The Hill Residence with lush greenoccupies total area of 10.7ha. The ridge corridor connecting the hill and community has a lenth of 170 meters and a width of 40 meters. It works as connecting path as well as a micro eco-corridor. The micro biotope in the seasonal creek and Metasequoia along the hill trail serve as the stepping stones for birds and amphibian.
Stormwater Management System
基于新分级的现场地形，我们能够创建更可持续的雨水管理系统，有效组织雨水径流，并巧妙地再利用水。除高性能外，雨水管理系统还可作为教育景观，为居民提供了解该系统工作原理的机会。教育性插图点设计与该系统相结合，确保居民特别是儿童理解景观。净化后的水储存在一个中央水箱中，以便重复使用，如水景和儿童涉水池。此外，现场50%的硬质表面为透水性铺路机，包括多孔混凝土、砖和砾石。
Based on a newly graded site topography, we are able to create a more sustainable stormwater management system, which organizes stormwater runoff effectively and reuse water smartly. Besides high performance, the stormwater management system works as educational landscape, which provides residents opportunities to learn about how this system work. Educational illustration points are designed to integrate with this system, making sure the landscape understood by residents especially children. Water after purification is stored in a central water tank for reuse, such as water feature and kids wading pool. Besides, 50% hard surface of the site are permeable pavers including porous concrete, brick and gravel.
Design Language
设计语言是“创新发现”而不是“创造”，灵感来自网站。锯齿形步道的设计旨在实现方便斜坡的可达性。建筑物之间的地形通过座椅和吧台得到很大程度的保留，并与种植平台相结合。根据现场地形变化创建桥梁交叉点，用于俯瞰上方和下方的阴影娱乐，旁边是一条有水相互作用的倾斜小溪。
The design language is “innovatively found” instead of “created”, inspired by the site. Zig-zaging trails are designed to achieve slope-friendly accessibility.Topography between buildings is largely preserved with seat and bar table, with integration of planting terrace. A bridge cross is created based on site topographic change for overlook above and shaded recreation beneath, sided by a sloped creek with water interactions.
