设计特色：      

项目 – 位于菲律宾卡拉塔根的山顶上的PK 住宅，由8x8 Design Studio设计，作为对传统菲律宾茅屋“Bahay Kubo”的当代诠释。这座面积2400平米的周末度假屋，由三个层级的体量组成渐缩的金字塔形，提供层层阴凉并拥有俯瞰周围热带风景的全景视野。作为住宅的支点的是其一层开放的“Silong”空间（菲律宾传统房屋特色）,设想为一个流动的公共区域，中心是一个细长的铁木餐桌，流线穿梭室外庭院和游泳池，打破室内与室外的界限。 上层是玻璃围合的透明“Bulwagan”客厅，通高落地玻璃可以通过滑动完全打开。 最顶层是私人的主人套房，其可旋转的窗户让室内与外部阳台融为一体。建筑钢结构利用伸出的部分作为遮阳装置，表面涂以耐候材料以抵御海边气候。室内漂白的木质表面设计唤起传统菲律宾建筑回忆，与当代家具形成对比。主浴室的Inoki浴池也是一个引人注目的设计亮点。总体来说，这个项目将本土风格转化为一个与周围环境相连的宁静现代之家。

团队 – 8x8设计工作室成立于2012年，由Adrian Alfonso和Pearl Robles创立，这是一家位于菲律宾马卡蒂的年轻建筑设计公司，致力于打造富有激发性的空间环境。“8x8”这个名字来源于无限延伸的理念，以开发组织空间的新方法。无限是他们设计过程的核心，通过对场地空间机会和项目需求的研究，内嵌于每个项目中。8x8通过深入探索轻盈体量、立体姿态、空间质感等策略，孕育建筑词汇，为菲律宾当代建筑开辟新方向。作为一个小型工作室，8x8仅服务于选定的项目，从概念到落地提供充分的设计与管控，详细的3D建模和全面的细节关注确保设计得以精确转化为落地建筑。他们专长于现代建筑，为住宅、商业和酒店提供建筑和室内设计的创新解决方案。在2016年，8X8被选为威尼斯建筑双年展菲律宾国家馆的九个参与者之一。

Feature：

Project - Set atop a hill in Calatagan, Philippines, the striking PK House designed by 8x8 Design Studio serves as a contemporary reinterpretation of the traditional Filipino Bahay Kubo. The 2400 sqm weekend retreat comprises three cascading volumes that create a tapering pyramidal form, providing shade and framing panoramic views of the surrounding tropical landscape.

Anchoring the home is the ground floor Silong, conceived as a fluid communal area with an elongated ironwood dining table at its core. This flows into exterior courtyards and pools, blurring indoor/outdoor boundaries. Cantilevered above is the transparent Bulwagan living pavilion, enveloped in full-height glazing that opens fully via sliding panels. At the top, the private master suite has turnable windows that allow it to become one with the exterior deck.

The steel-framed volumes employ overhangs as solar shading devices and are finished with weather-resistant materials to withstand the seaside climate. Inside, bleached wooden surfaces evoke traditional Philippine architecture, offset by contemporary furnishings and sculptural light fixtures. An Inoki soaking tub makes a striking statement in the master bath. Overall, the project translates vernacular influences into a tranquil modern sanctuary that connects with the surrounds.

Design Team - Founded in 2012 by partners Adrian Alfonso and Pearl Robles, 8x8 Design Studio is a young architecture firm based in Makati, Philippines dedicated to crafting inspired spatial environments. The name "8x8" stems from the concept of multiplying infinities to develop novel approaches in composing space. Infinities are core to their design process, embedded in each project through studies of site spatial opportunities and program requirements. 8x8 rigorously explores strategies for lightness, object stance, and spatial grain to grow an architectural vocabulary that defines new directions for Philippine architecture.

As a small studio catering to select projects, 8x8 offers substantial design control from conception through realization. Detailed 3D modeling and comprehensive attention to detail ensure designs are precisely translated into built form. Specializing in modern architecture, they provide fresh residential, commercial, and hospitality solutions encompassing architecture and interiors. Their recent accolades include Arch+ Planetary Urbanism publication in Germany and the Philippines Pavilion at the 2016 Venice Architecture Biennale.
