架构师提供的文本描述。一所想要变大的小房子。占地面积小，建筑简单，成本低。这就是我们在哥德堡西边为一对年轻夫妇设计一套房子的想法。

Text description provided by the architects. A small house that wants to be big. A small footprint and simple construction means low cost. That’s the idea when we set about designing a house for a young couple on a site surrounded by other single-family homes on the west side of Gothenburg.

我们以中庭方案向内转，远离邻居的视野。最美好的风景是朝向成熟的树木和暴露在西南的基岩，所以我们打开院子在那边。

We turn inward with an atrium scheme, away from the view of—and from—the neighbors. The nicest view is toward the mature trees and the exposed bedrock in the southwest, so we open the courtyard up on that side.

这座建筑坐落在桥墩上，在冰河时代磨练的花岗岩基岩上悬空半米。这意味着，为了到达建筑物，我们需要一个楼梯和一个坡道(无障碍要求)沿空白的东北侧。中庭院的高架地板是由横梁组成的，台阶一直延伸到周围的地形。

The building is perched lightly on piers, hovering a half-meter over granite bedrock honed by the ice age. That means that to reach the building we need a stair and a ramp (accessibility requirement) along the blank northeast side. The elevated floor of the atrium courtyard is built up of decking over beams, with steps down to the surrounding terrain.

在内部，主导的是外部。狭小的厨房里有着长长的桌子，这是院子里不断变化的季节的一部分。从地板到天花板的玻璃和宽阔的滑动门有助于擦除内部和外部的边界。好吧，这是陈词滥调-但有效。

On the inside, it’s the outside that dominates. The narrow kitchen with its long table is always a part of the changing seasons that play out in the courtyard. Floor-to-ceiling glass and broad sliding doors help erase the boundary between inside and out. Okay, it’s a cliché—but it works.

有一条通往工作室的陡峭阶梯(是的，从那里可以瞥见大海)，还有一个浅浅的、几乎令人叹为观止的通往屋顶露台的阶梯。如果将来需要的话，可以在院子周围建造更多的房间来容纳一群孩子。

There’s a steep ladderway up to the workroom (yes, there’s a glimpse of the sea from up there) and a shallow, almost monumentally processional stair up to a roof terrace. Additional rooms could be built around the courtyard if needed in the future to accommodate a bunch of children.

入口墙加厚以容纳壁炉(烟囱是屋顶景观的一部分)，有内置沙发、收藏室、厨房(与外部机械房背靠背)，以及带客人浴室的气闸入口。

The entrance wall is thickened to hold a fireplace (the chimney is part of the roof landscape) with a built-in sofa, a room for collections, the kitchen (back-to-back with the exterior mechanical room), and an air-lock entry with guest bathroom.

外表是完全用粉刷(Sioo处理)光滑的云杉。它会变老成灰白色。

The exterior is clad entirely in whitewashed (Sioo treated) smooth-planed spruce. It will age to a pale gray.
