这座房子是专为五口之家设计的(2名成年人和3名儿童)，为了同时保持内部和外部的隐私和连通性，我们决定建造一个对天空开放的封闭庭院。然后，我们小心翼翼地将所需的房间放在院子周围，以便让家庭能够从里面感受到季节和是否穿过庭院。内部房间还相互连接，以创造一个内部空间，作为一个大容量阅读。通过使用多层楼的水平和操纵整个房子的步行路径的流动，创建了一个层次结构，允许大容量在不同的区域有一个独特的特征，我们认为这对于一个家庭来说是非常重要的。

The house is designed for single family of five people ( 2 adults and 3 children ).  In an effort to keep privacy and connectivity between inside / outside at same time, we decided to make an enclosed courtyard which is open to the sky.  Then we carefully placed the required rooms in the program around the courtyard in order for the family to be able to feel the seasons and whether through the courtyard from inside. The Inside rooms are also connected to each other to create an interior space to read as one large volume. By utilizing multiple floor levels and manipulating the flow of walking paths throughout the house, a hierarchy has been created that allows for the large volume to have a distinct character in different areas, which we think is very important for a home.

 Floor Plan

车库就在院子旁边，有大的推拉门。当汽车离开空间时，这个车库可以变成院子的延伸部分。这三个空间的布局(餐饮/厨房，庭院)

The garage is located directly adjacent to the courtyard with big sliding doors. When the cars are out of the space, this garage can be transformed into an extension of the courtyard. This layout of 3 spaces ( dining / kitchen, courtyard & garage ) offer multiple opportunities for the family to enjoy the house.

独特的立面设计结合了原始的形状和传统的材料。“新的但熟悉的”在这个社区里很少有非常古老的房子使用同样的材料。我们认为，利用新的形状和形式，同时使用传统材料，是一个新鲜和合适的想法，谁正在建立一个新的家庭，在一个领域，她分享伟大的历史。这个管理旧的和新的荣誉的战略，把他们成功地结合在一起，我们认为这是这个项目和这个家庭的和谐。

The unique facade is designed with combination of primitive shapes and traditional materials. " New but familiar " There are few very old houses using the same material in this neighborhood. We believe utilizing new shapes and forms while cladding them with traditional materials is a fresh and suitable idea for the client who is building a new family in an area where she shares great history. This strategy to manage the old and the new honors both of the periods and brings them together in a successful way that we believe to be harmonious for this project and this family.
