架构师提供的文本描述。该项目的地点是一片空置的、未动的地块，紧邻着现有的郊区住宅。幸运的是，该地块的周围作为一个绿地由市政府管理，它将像将来一样保留下来-因此，客户希望在日常生活中保持自然的感觉，同时享受花在园艺上的时间或在屋外用餐的时间。

Text description provided by the architects. The site of this project was a vacant, untouched plot of land next to the existing suburban residence. Fortunately, the surrounding of the site is under the management of the city authority as a green space, and it will be kept as it is in the future--therefore the client hoped to maintain the feel of nature in their daily lives, while enjoying the time spending on gardening or having meals outside of the house.

然后，我们提出了一个与风景相对应的简朴的棚屋式住宅；从里面看，周围的自然是可以欣赏的；待在户外的时候，作为自然的组成部分是值得欣赏的。

Then, we proposed a simple, hut-like residence corresponding to the scenery; from inside, the surrounding nature is to be enjoyed as a view; when staying outside, being the integral part of the nature is to be appreciated.

第一层由三个区域组成，包括一个起居区、一个餐饮和厨房区以及一个公用区域，而每个区域都被一条“DOMA”空间隔开-暴露在混凝土表面上的泥土地板空间-使它们具有从外部空间到内部空间的连续性感。卧室布置在二楼，与一楼空旷的空间相比，它明显地被区分为一个像阁楼一样被隐藏起来的私人空间。

The 1st floor consists of three zones, including a living area, a dining and kitchen area, and a utility area, while each area is divided by a slit of ‘doma’ space - dirt floor space in exposed concrete finish - , allowing them to have the sense of continuity from the exterior space to the interior space. The bedroom is allocated on the 2nd floor, clearly distinguished as a private space to be hidden like an attic, compared to the open atmosphere of the spaces on the 1st floor.

 First Floor Plan

一层平面图

楼层设计为一个跳过地板，与现场的地形条件相对应。餐厅和厨房的面积都陷进了地面-这使得餐桌和露台在同一高度，给人与花园的整体感觉，而花园和场地以外的风景可以从厨房的角度看。

The floor levels are designed to be a skip floor, in corresponding to the topographic conditions of the site. The dining and kitchen area is sunken into the ground--this enables the dining table and the terrace to be at the same height, giving integrated feeling with the garden, while the garden and the scenery beyond the site may be viewed at the eye level from the kitchen.

房子的开口安装了格子窗，通过这种建筑姿态，可以把周围的自然作为象征性的、过滤的和框架的景观带入日常生活。结构条件产生的横梁开口允许在白天引入柔和的间接光，为室内空间提供开放。

The openings of the house are fitted with grid windows, so that the surrounding nature can be taken into the daily life as symbolic, filtered and framed view through this architectural gesture. The transom openings produced by the structural conditions allow to bring in soft indirect light throughout the daytime, providing openness to the interior space.

响应“小屋”的概念，这所房子的主要结构是用木头制造的，而屋顶则设计成一个简单的桁架结构，有垂直的钢支撑。为了保持室内空间与倾斜天花板的开放性，屋架暴露在屋架上，而桁架的薄钢框架保持细腻，使其与室内空间协调一致成为可能。

Responding to the concept of a "hut", the main structure of this house is produced in wood, while the roof is designed to be a simple truss structure with vertical struts in steel. In order to maintain the openness of the interior space with the sloped ceiling, the roof truss is exposed, yet the thin steel frames of the trusses maintain delicacy and make it possible to be harmonized with the interior space.

房子的每一个设计元素的积累和平衡，使居民能够享受复杂，但简单和朴实的日常生活。即使技术或价值观在时代上发生了变化，我们也希望这一设计来满足人们对自然的普遍渴望的建筑，将在很长一段时间内得到人们的赏识和喜爱。

The accumulation and balance of each design element of the house enables the residents to enjoy sophisticated, yet simple and unpretentious daily lives. Even if technologies or the sense of value change in times, we hope this architecture, designed to fulfill the universal desire to feel nature, will be appreciated and loved for a long time.
