架构师提供的文本描述。这套简陋的单户住宅计划是以合理的方式组织起来的，目的是创造视觉上简单的空间，作为家庭日常活动的背景。允许在白天大部分时间使用的空间里有最大的光。卧室和浴室位于下面的地板上，规模不大。这些起居和卧室的水平在建筑物的外部作为一个位于混凝土基础之上的轻质量来表达。这个巨大的基地包含车库和一位内佣。单位朝向大楼后面，并允许上两层楼上升到繁忙的街道之上。

Text description provided by the architects. The program for this ground-up, single-family residence is organized in a rational manner in an attempt to create visually simple spaces serving as the backdrop to a family’s daily activities.  An open living level is situated at the upper floor, allowing for maximum light at the space where most time is spent during the daytime.  The bedrooms and bathrooms are located at the floor below and are kept modest in scale.  These living and bedroom levels are articulated at the exterior of the building as a light mass resting above a concrete base.  This massive base contains the garage and an in-law unit towards the rear of the building, and allows the upper two levels to rise above the busy street.

除了各个项目元素之间存在着明确的关系外，在设计中将阳光带入建筑物深处也是驱动因素之一。考虑到该建筑位于一个紧张的城市环境中，这给以一种有意义的方式将日光延伸到建筑物内带来了挑战。建筑物前后高度的玻璃含量达到了最大限度，但这并没有解决眼前的问题。通过在上层建立一个倾斜的天花板，这就为向北的牧师窗口提供了机会，该窗口在生活的上层提供了统一的照明。一盏朝向大楼中心的大灯，为楼下的浴室和走廊带来了光。此外，。楼梯走廊将光线带到卧室的水平和入口。

In addition to a clear relationship between the various program elements, bringing daylight deep into the building proved to be a driving factor in the design.  Given that the building is located in a tight urban condition, this created a challenge for extending daylight into the building in a meaningful way.  The amount of glass at the front and rear elevations of the building was maximized, but this did not solve the issue at hand.  By creating a sloped ceiling at the upper level, this allowed the opportunity for a north-facing clerestory window that brings uniform lighting at the upper living level.  A large light well towards the center of the building brings light to bathrooms and hallways below.  In addition, the stair hallway carries light down to the bedroom level and entry.

最后，材料选择和成分优先，选择白色灰泥作为上两层的外部装饰，以利用旧金山牛空心社区的扩散照明条件，这种灰泥与一个粗糙的混凝土基座并置，表明车库的实用性。在倾斜的上天花板上使用木材带来了好处。当光线从连续的牧师窗口穿过木板时，主要生活空间的颜色和变化。木材和瓷砖地板被用作给空间带来色彩的简单手段。最终，在构成每一种材料和元素时，要仔细考虑它们之间的比例。

Finally, material selection and composition is given high priority.  White plaster is selected as the exterior finish for the upper two levels to take advantage of the diffused lighting condition in the Cow Hollow neighborhood of San Francisco.  This plaster is juxtaposed against a rough concrete base that indicates the utilitarian nature of the garage.  The use of wood at the sloped upper ceiling brings color and variation into the main living space as light rakes across the boards from the continuous clerestory window.  Wood and tiled floors are used as a simple means to bring color into the spaces.  Ultimately, proportion is given careful consideration while composing each material and element in relation to one another.
