架构师提供的文本描述。混凝土箱屋的设计首先以三个相当简单的概念为目标：精心编排的入场顺序、材料清晰度和雕塑形式。这座建筑由三个元素组成-一个混凝土盒子，一个木箱，以及环绕入口庭院的低混凝土墙。前面的开窗是有限的。这就增加了建筑的雕塑性质。要进入这座建筑，首先要在前面两个重叠的混凝土墙之间滑动，然后穿过圣所式的入口庭院，然后才能到达前门。(鼓掌)

Text description provided by the architects. The design of The Concrete Box house was begun with three fairly simple concepts as goals: a carefully choreographed entry sequence, material clarity, and a sculptural presence.  The building is composed of three elements- a concrete box, a wooden box, and the low concrete wall that encloses the entry courtyard.  Fenestration on the front is limited, which adds to the sculptural nature of the building.  To enter the building one slips between the two overlapping concrete walls in the front and then passes through the sanctuary-like entry courtyard before arriving at the front door.

这扇门通向一个门厅，门厅的天花板很低，而且有点暗。从这里开始，一个人穿过混凝土盒子的一个开口，进入主空间明亮而高大的空间。当穿过洞口时，人们会体验到混凝土墙的厚度和坚固性。前院和后花园的丰富自然光线和开阔的景色让人惊讶，因为它们最初很难与空白的立面相协调。一楼基本上是一个空间，其中轻微的水平变化勾勒出餐饮、厨房和生活之间的功能。(鼓掌)

The door opens into an entry hall that has a low ceiling and is a touch dark.  From here one passes through an opening in the concrete box to enter the brightly lit, tall volume of the main space.  While passing through the opening, one experiences the thickness and solidity of the concrete walls.  The abundant natural light and expansive views into the front courtyard and rear garden surprise as they are initially difficult to reconcile with the blank façade.  The first floor is basically a single space where slight level changes delineate function between dining, kitchen, and living.

在滑动墙后面隐藏着一间办公室，可以让业主白天在这个空间里工作，然后在工作被遗忘的时候真正地关闭办公室。二楼简单明亮的白色房间与楼下的木墙和混凝土墙形成鲜明对比。(鼓掌)

There is an office hidden behind sliding walls that allow the owners to work in this space during the day and then literally close the office at times when work is to be forgotten.  The simple and bright white rooms of the second floor stand in marked contrast to the downstairs with its wood and concrete walls.
