架构师提供的文本描述。这所房子坐落在两座教区教堂之间的一条乡间公路上，沿着一大片土地向街道倾斜。今天的乡村别墅应该是什么样的呢？问题是内在的。人们会想到一座与道路平行的小屋，后面有一个谷仓。

Text description provided by the architects. The house stands along a country road between two parish churches on a large stretch of land sloping down toward the street. What should a country house look like today - the question was immanent. One would expect a small cottage parallel to the road with a barn behind it.

我们想要一样正派的东西。那座高耸的谷仓和那座有着厚实窗户的小屋成了一本书。皮肤揭示了这些变化。沿着街道立面的较小的房间与山坡上较高的起居室相通。

We wanted something just as proper. The lofty barn and the cottage with its dormer windows grew into one volume. The skin reveals these transformations. The smaller rooms along the street façade communicate with the living rooms sitting higher on the slope.

它们合在一起，构成了一个两层的房子，有相互连接的房间，也有一系列独立的氛围。抽象被模棱两可的回忆所压抑。室内的乡村意象和资产阶级意象的结合，表现出对不同观点的开放。密封的，节能的，坚固的，用可再生资源建造的房子。

Together they constitute both a split-level house with interconnected rooms and a sequence of separate atmospheres. Abstraction is muted by equivocal reminiscences. The combination of rustic and bourgeois imagery in the interiors projects an openness to different views. Airtight, energy efficient, robust and made of renewable resources the house was built to last.
