架构师提供的文本描述。在一个盒子里有三个家庭住在三个不同的房间里。这个想法是为了让每个家庭都有一个独特的私人空间体验，因此这个程序进行了容量划分，每卷都可以俯瞰一个私人庭院。底层的“L”字形音量是最大的，它包括一个前厅，在停车场。还有一个很大的院子。从一楼进入的“T”字形的音量是最小的；倒置的“T”形为庭院提供了天景和双高的居住空间。“U”字形的体积位于二楼，包含一个不连续的庭院，形成两个庭院，一个具有水的特色，另一个带有绿色。

Text description provided by the architects. Box House I houses three families in three different volumes within one box.  The idea is to give each family a unique and private spatial experience, hence the program was divided volumetrically and each volume overlooks a private court yard.  The ‘L’ shaped volume accessed in the ground floor is the largest volume and it includes a vestibule, in lot parking, and a large yard.  The ‘T’ shaped volume accessed from the first floor is the smallest one; the inverted ‘T’ shape affords the courtyard a view of the sky and double height living space.  The ‘U’ shaped volume is on the second floor, containing a discontinuous yard that creates two courtyards one with a water feature and the other with greens.

箱体一的外部主要是石包层，强调主质量(箱)，把包层理解为包覆三个家庭的外壳，以达到对外壳的感知，石头的厚度显示在正面的所有开口周围，所有开口的内部用灰泥完成，以强调对地壳和体积的看法。

The exterior of Box House I has mainly stone cladding emphasizing the main mass (box).  The stone cladding is to be read as a crust that wraps all three families.  In order to achieve the perception of a crust, the thickness of the stone is revealed around all openings on the facade.  The inside of all openings are finished in stucco to emphasize both perceptions of the crust and the volumes.
