架构师提供的文本描述。作为一种类型，半独立的房子常常被看作是连体双胞胎，不情愿地通过一堵单面墙连接到对称的另一间房子。挑战这种观念的欲望驱使着这座独栋住宅的一部分。通过把主建筑从聚会墙中分离出来，一座半独立的房子就可以自由了。

Text description provided by the architects. As a typology, the semi-detached house is often perceived as a Siamese twin, reluctantly conjoined to its symmetrical other via a single party wall. The desire to challenge such a notion drives the parti of this single-family house. By separating and pulling the main building block away from the party wall, a semi-detached house breaks free.

这不仅在形式上和美学上解放了房子的邻居，它还创造了一个3米宽的裂缝，光线和空气渗透到它的内部深处。

Not only does this formally and aesthetically liberate the house from its neighbour; it also creates a 3m-wide fissure into which light and air penetrate deep into its interiors.

一个人通过这个裂缝的前面进入房子，在那里他受到一个双层的大厅的欢迎，从上面自然地亮起。光线飞溅到纹理丰富的砖墙上，投下形状和强度随时间变化的阴影。灯把一个人引上楼梯，上了第二层楼。现在，裂痕表现为一个家庭聚集的领域。

One enters the house through the front of this fissure, where he is greeted by a double-storey volume foyer naturally lit from above. Light splashes onto the richly-textured brick wall, casting shadows which vary in form and intensity over time. The light leads one up the staircase onto the second storey. By now, the fissure manifests itself as a gathering realm for the family.

在这个漏斗般的，自然通风的空间，风从前面自由地穿过到后面，两端都插入了绿色的口袋。深邃的悬垂和可操作的百叶窗在必要时保护内部。

In this funnel-like, naturally-ventilated space, wind passes through freely from the front to the back, both ends at which pockets of green have been inserted. Deep overhangs and operable blinds protect the interiors where necessary.

房子的美丽就躺在这里：一个既隐蔽又与环境相连的空间。这就是热带生活的简单乐趣。

Here in lies the beauty of the house: a space which is at once sheltered yet connected to its environment. Such is the simple delight of tropical living.
