架构师提供的文本描述。建造一座建筑，把空间简化到最大限度，让人们在那里有原始的体验：森佐克之家，也就是莫诺利斯之家，就是在这个命题下创建的。它最初的概念受到1968年电影“太空漫游2001”的故事的强烈影响，在这部电影中，黑色的外星石板“Monolith”首先给了猿类“智慧”。

Text description provided by the architects. The creation of a building in which the space is simplified to the utmost limit and the people could have primitive experiences there: the House of Senzokuike, known as Monolith, was created under that proposition. Its initial concept was strongly influenced by the story of the 1968 movie "Space Odyssey 2001", in which "Monolith", a black extraterrestrial slate, first gives "intelligence" to an ape.

不仅需要严格的法律法规来保护安静的城市景观，而且它的立面位置也不同，这可能会导致窗户朝向其他房屋的窗户，为这座建筑提供了天地合一的主题。

Not only the necessity of meeting the strict laws and regulations for the protection of quiet cityscapes, but also its location with differences of elevation, which might cause the windows to face other houses' windows, provided this building with the theme of integration between the heaven and underground.

考虑到这一主题，材料被精心挑选，房子的建造采用了通用的设计语言，使用了三种元素：石头；

With this theme in mind, materials were carefully selected, and the house was built with a universal design language using three elements; stone & concrete, steel panels and glass.

这房子的平衡和整洁的正面可能看上去不同，每次你访问它，因为它的外墙热镀锌磷酸钢板和金属黑色石材地板的组合。这就是为什么建筑，尽管它的简单形式，给人不同的印象，取决于他/她的观点，它的外观有深刻和高贵。

This house with a balanced and neat facade may look different every time you visit it because of the combination of the outer wall of the hot-dip galvanized phosphoric acid steel panels and the metal black stone floor. That is why the building, despite its simple form, gives people different impressions depending on his/her viewpoint, and its appearance has profoundness and nobility.

室内由三个不同体积的重叠空间组成，即“天空”，其中天空从顶部进入房间，从顶部进入房间；“地球”中，外部与地面之间的水平差异给人一种放松的感觉，就像住在一个原始的坑里一样。“地下”的空间比你想象的要大得多。

The interior is composed of three overlapping spaces with different volumes, namely, "Sky" in which the transitions of the sky leading to the heaven are introduced into the room from the top portion, "Earth" in which the level difference between the exterior and its floor brings a sense of relaxation like dwelling in a primitive pit, and "Underground" with a far larger space than you would expect.

通过连接“天空”、“地球”和“地下”交汇的楼梯和中庭，形成了一个微观世界，在可以感受到紧张气氛的空间中具有优雅的想象力。

Light and shade through the stairway and atrium that connect the "Sky", “Earth” and "Underground" intertwine, creating a microcosm with the graceful imaginativeness in the space where a tense atmosphere could be felt.

这座房子是精心设计的细节作品的产物，只有当你进入它并体验它的空间时，它才开始表达它的真正价值。装饰是一种勾勒出隐藏在细节中的精华的媒介，无数的小判断对各部分尺寸的优化和各种材料的应用消除了不纯元素，将建筑提升为纯粹的一体式建筑。人们预计，时间的流逝将把这个纯洁无辜的莫诺利石升华为一个也是唯一的存在。

This house, which is the outcome of elaborate detail work, begins to express its real value only when you enter into it and experience the space. The decoration is a medium for drawing out the essence hidden in details, and countless small judgments on the optimization of the dimensions of each part and the application of various materials eliminate impure elements and elevates the building to the pure Monolith. It is anticipated that the passing of the time will sublimate this pure and innocent Monolith into one and only existence.
