架构师提供的文本描述。这座建筑被安装在一个历史住宅区的城市组织中。这块地块大到足以在其他建筑物之间留下空隙。这座房子占地300平方米，也比相邻的建筑物小一些。这使我们有机会保护大部分树木，并创建一个大型后院，有游乐场、停车场和居民共用的公共露台。在前面，建筑物在建筑物的直线上为正门创造了一个凹槽。

Text description provided by the architects. The building is fitted into the urban tissue of a mostly residential historic area. The plot is big enough to leave a gap between the other buildings. With a 300 m2 footprint, the house is also a bit smaller than the adjacent buildings. This gave us the chance to preserve most of the trees and create a large back-yard with a playground, parking, and a communal terrace shared by the residents. In the front, the building creates a recess in the building line for the main entrance.

一楼的楼层并不比人行道高得多，它提供了一种透视公寓的视角，我们相信，这会使私人空间和公共空间之间的边界褪色，从而对街道有所贡献。

The first floor level is not much higher than the pavement, which provides a voyeuristic perspective into the apartments and, we believe, contributes to the street by fading the border between private and public space.

这座建筑的形状受到邻近房屋屋顶景观的启发。这一地区的阁楼对他们来说都有浪漫的感觉，历史上一直被廉租的房客占据，现在被视为更加排他性的居住空间。我们想要最大限度地扩大顶层的空间，给它一个强大的空间特征，有倾斜的天花板和高达4米的空间。鼓励三楼公寓的业主建造阁楼，其中一些人成功地做到了这一点。

The building’s shape is inspired by the roofscapes of the neighbouring houses. The attics in the area all have a romantic sense to them,  having historically been occupied by low-rent tenants and now being treated as more exclusive living spaces. We wanted to maximize the space on the top floor, and give it a strong spatial character with slanted ceilings and spaces up to 4 meters high. The owners of the third floor apartments were encouraged to build a mezzanine level, which some of them successfully did.

这座建筑从四面八方都可以看到，所有的正面都是一视同仁的。我们的目标是创造一种用木条皮包裹的整体形式。木条皮是1930年塔林式木结构建筑的历史特征。皮肤创造了一个装饰质量的正面，也构成了阳台的障碍。

The building is viewable from all four sides and all facades are treated equally. We aimed to create a monolithic form wrapped in a skin of wooden strips. The wood strip skin is a historical element characteristic to 1930-s wooden Tallinn-type buildings dominating the area. The skin creates a decorative quality to the facade and also constitutes a barrier for balconies.

建筑物建筑的细节水平一直保持在最低限度，以创造一个“生活的背景”，并考虑到许多工艺品将出现在日常生活过程中。

The detail level in the buildings architecture has been kept to a minimum to create a ’background for life’ and considering that a lot of artefacts will appear in the course of daily life.
