当一对老夫妇委托斯洛伐克的建筑工作室Compass Architekti为他们设计一栋房子的时候，他们只有三个基本要求:一个小房子，没有楼梯，还有九个孙子的空间。尽管这些要求说起来很简单，但将它们组合在一起是一个相当大的挑战。你可能会问，这是多么大的挑战啊，好吧，就这么说吧，你得监督你的九个孙子在房子里玩耍。
建筑师对客户要求的回应既简单又巧妙，以一个l型的现代主义建筑为中心，在一个草坪庭院里。把草坪区想象成孩子们可以尽情玩耍的竞技场或舞台，把伸展开来的房子部分圈定成可以监督他们的观景区。同时，房子的延伸面积意味着不需要二楼，因此不需要楼梯。
When an elderly couple commissioned Slovakian architectural studio Compass Architekti to design a house for them in Jarovce, a quiet residential borough outside of the Slovakian capital, Bratislava, they only had three basic requirements: a small house, no stairs and lots of space for their nine grandchildren. Although simple in nature, grouped together these demands presented quite a challenge. How much of a challenge, you may ask, well, let’s just say as much as having to supervise your nine grandchildren playing about the house.
The architects’ answer to their client's brief is appropriately both simple and canny, centered on an L-shape, modernist building that hems in a grassy courtyard. Think of the lawn area as the arena or stage where the children can play their hearts out and the outstretched house partly circumscribing it as the viewing area where they can be supervised from. Meanwhile, the house’s elongate footprint means there’s no need for a second floor, and therefore, no need for stairs.
