在第一次会议上，在收到该计划后，我向客户介绍了两个基本的备选方案-被选择的计划是由现场的树木决定住宅的规划。

At the first meeting after receiving the program, I presented two basic alternatives to the customer the plan that was selected was for the trees on site to dictate the planning of the home.

最初的规划包括放置一个与多孔交叉的刚性广场，在广场内的分割效果类似于住宅的封闭和开放空间，即根据树木的位置，有盖和无盖的区域。

The initial planning incorporated placing a rigid square criss crossed with porous holes , the effect of the division within the square is similar to the closed and open spaces of the home i.e the covered and non-covered area depending on the location of the trees.

这就像伸出一只伸出的手在树干之间伸出一只手，以求尽可能地保护它们。

This is like laying an outstretched extended hand between the trunks out of a desire to preserve them as much as possible.

在深入详细的规划之后，广场的刚性框架被打破，房子被分成三个部分：一个中央部分，通过两个“连接器”连接到两个次要部分-这是狭窄的透明通道。在三翼中，庭院保留了建筑前区域的自然状态，第四个区域有一座桥，它实际上定义了开阔天空下的内部空间，而下面是花园。

Upon diving into the detailed planning, the rigid frame of the square was broken, and the house was divided into three parts: a central one which connects to two secondary parts through two "connectors" – which are narrow transparent passages. Among the three wings - Courtyard retains the natural state of the area prior to the construction and the fourth area there is a bridge, which in effect defines an internal space beneath the open sky, while below is the garden.

房子的大部分特征是从地板到屋顶的开口，除了西面，这使得室内和外部之间的过渡变得模糊不清，在主要的开口上形成了持续的阴影。

Most of the house is characterized by openings that reach from the floor to the ceiling on all sides of the house, except for the West, which is shaded this blurs the transition between interior and exterior, creating a constant shading on the primary openings.
