采用雪松板式外露混凝土饰面和建筑表面镀锌钢板，形成了清晰而宁静的对比，形成了建筑的有序外观。除了通过一个大的洞口暴露出建筑物的木质结构外，不可能从外部掌握建筑内部的情况。

The exposed concrete finish wall with cedar form panel pattern and the galvanized steel panel of the building surface create a clear yet tranquil contrast, producing an orderly exterior appearance of the building. It is not possible to grasp the interior condition from the outside, except the part revealing the wooden structure of the building through a large opening.

木门的内部是由钢筋混凝土墙包围的入口庭院，晚上以其间接照明迎接业主。悬臂式钢框架中的艺术品式楼梯位于入口门后.从格栅发出的柔和的漫射光照亮了位于建筑物内部的浴室旁边的庭院空间。底层的所有空间，包括私人房间和浴室，都朝向内部庭院。正面是突出的一片Stewartia单叶树种植在儿童房的外部庭院，站在这座住宅的象征树。

Inside of the wooden gate door is the entrance court enclosed by the reinforced concrete wall, greeting the owner with its indirect illumination at night. Art piece-like staircase in cantilevered steel frame is situated behind the entrance door. The soft diffused light coming down from the grating illuminates the court space next to the bathroom located at the inner part of the building. All the spaces on the ground floor, including private room and bathroom, are facing toward the inner courtyard. Front facade is accentuated by a piece of Stewartia monadelpha tree planted in the outer courtyard of the child room, standing as the symbolic tree of this residence.

通过上楼梯，使二楼的墙壁和天花板统一起来的结构体逐渐显露出来。由SPF木材和层积单板木材组成的重复三角形结构从地板上不断上升，通过将墙壁、天花板和屋檐三步连接起来，形成一个无柱、壳状的空间。

By going up the staircase, the structural body unifying the walls and the ceiling of the second floor is gradually revealed. Repetitive triangular structures composed of SPF timber and laminated veneer lumber rise up from the floor to continuously form a column-free, shell-like space by integrating the wall, the ceiling and the eaves in three-stepped couplings.

二楼的开口由四扇大木门组成，空间高度开放，由带有钢化玻璃的透明栏杆完成。在山墙端的内置家具包含厨房和生活区的多种功能，与结构体的白色装饰形成鲜明对比。当动态结构体被固定在不同位置的内置照明的间接光照亮时，夜间气氛就会显现出来，提供一个超出任何描述的空间。

The opening on the second floor consists of four large wooden sliding doors, achieving a highly open space, completed by the transparent banister with tempered glass for the balcony. Built-in furniture at the gable end contains multiple functionalities of the kitchen and the living areas, contrasting with the structural body by its white-color finish. Evening atmosphere is revealed when the dynamic structural body is illuminated by the indirect light of the built-in lighting fixed at various positions, providing a space beyond any description.
