架构师提供的文本描述。原址上的雪松树对房子的布局起着非常重要的作用，所以从房子的任何地方都可以看到树木。此外，房子的形状应受气候因素影响的地方：中央双高度模块作为一个肺与交叉通风，和西面玻璃正面工程的自然照明。

Text description provided by the architects. The original cedar tree on the site plays a very important for the layout of the house, so that there is a view of the tree from anywhere in the house. Also, the shape of the house responds to the impact of climate elements of the place: the central double height module acts as a lung with cross ventilation, and the west glass facade works for natural lighting.

考虑到了若干因素，使房屋在设计和材料以及节能系统方面的环境影响最小。例如，在选择材料时考虑到了这一点，使其除耐用和低维护外，还可再生、可重复使用或可回收利用。楼梯上用的是雪松树上的木材，房子里还有其他一些家具的细节。甲板由可再生能源经认证的木材组成，其中包括可再生塑料、混凝土地板和竹子等。此外，房子有雨水收集系统用于厕所和灌溉，计划用于太阳能电池板，集装箱门被重新用于该项目的大多数门，热水是太阳能加热的，交叉通风是足够的，这样家庭就不需要空调，而自然照明使得白天几乎不需要电灯。

Several considerations were taken into account so that the house had the least possible environmental impact, both in design and materials, as well as in systems for energy conservation. For example this was considered in the choice of materials, so that they are renewable, reusable or recyclable in addition to durable and low maintenance. Wood from the cedar tree was used in the stairs, and some other details of furniture in the house. The deck consists of certified wood from renewable sources mixed with recycled plastic, concrete floors and bamboo, among others. Additionally, the house has rainwater collection systems for toilets and irrigation, it is planned for solar panels, container doors were reused for most doors of the project, the hot water is solar-heated, cross ventilation is enough so that the home does not require air conditioning, and natural lighting makes virtually no electric lights necessary during the day.

在建筑中使用集装箱，除了减少对环境的影响外，还与设计形成了鲜明的对比，这意味着对现有元素的再利用，产生的二氧化碳排放量低于将所有这些传统材料运至工地的水泥生产和运输，更不用说减少入侵和移动了。预计施工时间缩短20%，总造价约20%。

The use of containers in the construction gives a rich contrast to the design, in addition to reducing the environmental impact, which means the reuse of an existing element, generating less CO2 emissions than the cement production and transportation from trucking all those traditional materials to the site, not to mention a less invasiveland movement. It is estimated that the construction time is reduced by 20% and the total cost about 20%.
