主要的想法是通过展开的平面把门式刚顶的形状分成几块。

The main idea was to break the shape of the gabled roof into several pieces by unfolding planes. 

这使我们有机会创造出交叉关系，把屋顶变成立面，把门面变成屋顶，为室内空间提供更丰富的自然光和清晰度的价值。

This gave us the chance to create cross relationship which transforms roof into façade and façade into roof, and provided interior spaces richer value of natural light and articulation.

屋顶的这种物质性寻求创造一种表达方式，它将随着时间的推移而改变，以寻找与邻居家的亲密对话。

This materiality of the roof seeks to create an expression that will change over time to look for an intimate dialogue with the neighboring house.
