生命贯穿于这些不同的层次。卧室分散在庭院周围的不同地方，作为每个家庭成员的私人空间。这些私人房间由不同的公共房间连接，每一间都有朝南的窗户。由客厅和餐厅两大主要公共房间组成的私人和公共房间形成两排容量。角落，阴影，小巷来自不同单位的移动和分散。

Life penetrates through these different layers. Bedrooms scattered in different places around the courtyard, serving as private spaces of each family member. These private rooms are connected by different public rooms, each having windows facing the south. Leading by two main public rooms—living room and dinning room, the private and public rooms forms two rows of volumes.

现代社会使人脱离自然，而人类本能地产生回归自然的冲动。对于这个家庭来说，回归土地并不意味着我们应该完全否定城市。他们并不打算远离现代城市。他们只是试图区分文明社会中侵犯人与自然原有关系的部分。

Modern society detach Man from nature, while Man instinctively produce the urge to return to it. For this family, returning to land does not mean that we should totally negate cities. It is not their intention that they should stay away from modern cities. They are only trying to distinguish the part in civilized society that invades the original relations of human and nature.
