客户要求我们提供一套具有开放感的房子，如美国西海岸的案例研究之家所示。该网站位于每月出租的停车场后面，为了保护隐私，我们决定在外墙不提供任何开口。这所房子有一个简单的L形布局，围绕着中间的一个有盖的入口庭院建造，以降低建筑成本。有盖的庭院，也用作入口，是介于内外之间的中间空间。

The client asked us for a house with a sense of openness, as seen in the Case Study Houses in West Coast of the United States. The site is situated at the back of a parking lot rented out on a monthly basis, and we decided to provide no openings on the exterior façades to protect privacy. The house has a simple L-shaped plan, built around a covered entrance courtyard in the center, to decrease the construction cost. The covered courtyard, also used as an entrance approach, serves as an intermediate space between inside and outside.

主卧室位于一楼入口处，是一个小型的私人房间，有一种平静的感觉。相反，儿童房是一个位于庭院旁边的开放空间，可以根据他们的成长情况进行适当的调整和细分。骨架楼梯，也可以作为一件艺术品欣赏，位于正门前，通向二楼。二楼由一个没有隔断的空地组成。空间的定义是由一系列漂亮的暴露木天花板萝卜构成的水平天花板。木萝卜延伸到外面，在入口庭院上方构成一个龙葵，整合了室内和外部空间。

  The main bedroom, located next to the entrance on the first floor, is a small private room with a sense of calmness. On the contrary, the children’s room is an open space located next to the courtyard, which can be appropriately adjusted and subdivided according to their growth. Skeleton stairs, which can also be appreciated as an art piece, are located in front of the main entrance, leading to the second floor. The second floor is comprised of an open space without partitions. The space is defined by the sequence of beautiful exposed wood ceiling rafters constituting the horizontal ceiling. The wood rafters extend to outside and constitute a pergola above the entrance courtyard, integrating the interior and exterior spaces.

条形天窗位于二楼天花板上，可享受自然光和阴影在墙上的壮丽效果。LED灯被嵌入在裂片之间，照亮SPF结构成员和天花板面板，并创造戏剧性的光等级。外表从下面被点燃，在夜晚创造了一种漂浮的感觉。

  The strip skylight window is located on the second floor ceiling and one can enjoy the magnificent effect of natural light and shadow on the wall. LED lamps are embedded between the rafters, illuminating SPF structural members and ceiling panels and creating dramatic gradation of light. The exterior pergola is lit up from below, creating a floating feeling at night.
