房子里充满了阳光，屋顶上有玻璃，砖墙上有洞。阳光与乡土的砖，创造了一个紧密的生活空间与各种情感。大门和栅栏设计简单，金属格栅，以种植藤蔓。这些藤蔓将覆盖房子的外观，并有助于过滤掉灰尘。

The house is full of sunlight with the glass on the roof and the the brick wall arranged with holes. Sunlight with the rustic brick create a close living space with variety of emotion.  The gate and fence are designed simply with metal grille in order to plant the vines. These vines will cover the facade of house later on and help to filter the dust out.

为了节省成本，建筑师们简化了细节、材料和家具，优化了功能空间，降低了每一层的高度。设计团队想要给这个社区带来一个明亮而生动的居住空间，这个理念是，漂亮的房子不仅仅是为高收入人群准备的。

To save the cost, the architects simplify the details, materials and the furniture, as well as optimize the functional spaces and reduce the height of each floor. The design team wants to bring a bright and lively living space to this neighborhood, with the notion that a beautiful house is not only for the high income people.
