架构师提供的文本描述。一个密集的城市环境，一个140平方米的小场地，和一个简短的需要一个兄弟姐妹的个人多用途工作室空间要求建筑物是高的。

Text description provided by the architects. A dense urban context, a small site of 140 square meters, and a brief requiring individual multipurpose studio spaces for a brother and sister required that the  building be tall.

由于用土建造是客户的首选选择，因此选择的施工方法是用夯土代替砖，因为砖的制作和储存都需要空间。土是从另一个地方来的，在那里挖掘了一个大的地下室，那里有更多的土壤。

Since building with earth was the preferred choice of the client,the chosen method of construction was rammed earth in place of bricks which would have demanded space for making as well as storing the bricks. The earth was sourced from another site where a large basement was excavated and wherein extra soil was available.

从美学的意义上说，夯实的土墙首先会击中眼睛，然后是水平层、色调和色调。这座房子的调色板是最基本的材料-裸露的混凝土、夯实的泥土、木头和玻璃。

In aesthetic sense the rammed earth walls strike the eye at first and then the horizontal layers, shades and hue lend a repose. The palette for this house is of the most basic materials used-- of exposed concrete, rammed earth, wood and glass.

就布局而言，这两个工作室的单位是极其相同的，一个放在另一个之上。每个单元都有一个双高度的居住空间，其中有一个小厨房和一个该层的化妆室。上面有一个L形夹层空间，有一个睡眠空间和一个浴室。

In terms of layout, the two are  extremely identical studio units placed one above the other. Each unit has a double height living space with a kitchenette and a powder room at that level. An L-shaped mezzanine space above has a sleeping space and a bathroom.

房子真的是一个盒子，其中包括良好的景观和丢弃城市眼疮与战略位置的开口和混合搭配的磨砂和透明的玻璃。当一个人在房子里走来走去的时候，双面阁楼几乎是一个启示。这所房子在技术和材料的使用以及规模上都与附近的其他地方不同。

The house is really a box which includes the good views and discards the urban eye sores with strategic location of openings and mix match of frosted and clear glass. The double upper mezzanine is almost a revelation as one walks around the house. This home is different from the rest in the neighbourhood on the count of technique and material use, as well as it's scale.
