架构师提供的文本描述。后院BI(H)OME是一个超现代的，重量轻的附属住宅单元，有潜力满足洛杉矶市长埃里克·加西蒂提出的到2021年新建10万个住房单元的要求。BI(H)OME在其设计、制造、职业和回收利用方面表明，可持续性在个人层面意味着什么。BI(H)OME由加州大学洛杉矶分校的城市实验室发起，由凯文·戴利建筑师设计。

Text description provided by the architects. The Backyard BI(h)OME is an ultra-modern, lightweight accessory dwelling unit that has the potential to meet Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti’s call for 100,000 new housing units by 2021. The BI(h)OME demonstrates --in its design, fabrication, occupation, and recycling, what sustainability means at a personal level. The BI(h)OME was initiated by UCLA’s CityLAB and designed by Kevin Daly Architects.

低成本、低影响的Bi(H)OME可作为老年父母、大学毕业生返校或租赁单位的住房。这是容易安装，不需要下水道连接，只是一个软管的供水，并易于拆除。它几乎完全可以回收。与其要求抵押贷款，它可以租赁，就像一辆汽车，所以它是半永久性的，可以灵活地满足房主的需要，只要他们愿意，然后再循环或重新安装。这座建筑在整个生命周期中对环境的影响是传统辅助住宅的10至100倍。每500平方英尺的后院住宅都有卧室、客厅、厨房/餐厅和浴室。地板安装在临时的低岩壁上，柱子被拧入地面，所以它不需要基础。这个结构覆盖着一个创新的半透明的皮肤，由两层ETFE组成，一种坚硬的Teflon塑料，真空密封在纸蜂窝周围，形成了一个非常坚固而又轻盈的结构。模块单元包括浴室、淋浴、壁橱、厨房洗涤池和计数器。这种结构可以不同的方式配置，以适应任何后院，并捕捉太阳能光伏电池，可以打印在Bi(H)OME的皮肤外部层，而LED灯可以内置到内层。

The low-cost, low-impact Bi(H)OME could serve as housing for an elderly parent, a returning college graduate, or a rental unit. It is easy to install, requiring no sewer hookup and just a hose for water supply, and easy to remove. It is almost entirely recyclable. Rather than requiring a mortgage, it could be leased, like a car, so it is semi-permanent, can flexibly serve the needs of homeowners for as long as they want, and then be recycled or reinstalled. The environmental impact of the structure over its entire life cycle is between 10 and 100 times less than a conventional auxiliary dwelling.Each 500-square foot backyard home contains a bedroom, living room, kitchen/dining room, and bathroom. The floor is mounted on a temporary low rock wall and posts that are screwed into the ground, so it does not require a foundation. The structure is covered with an innovative translucent skin consisting of two layers of ETFE, a tough, Teflon plastic, vacuum-sealed around a paper honeycomb creating a remarkably solid, yet light structure. Modular units contain the bathroom, shower, a closet, kitchen sink and counter. The structure can be configured in different ways to fit any backyard and to catch the sun on photovoltaic cells that can be printed on the outside layer of the Bi(H)OME’s skin, while LED lights can be built into the inner layer.
