喜欢打高尔夫球的丈夫和喜欢园艺的妻子都想要一个花园，从一楼的中央起居室可以看到，它是房子的中心。他们还希望在东西方之间延续下去，并保证隐私。天花板和地板上的实心柚木和高强度混凝土的坚硬表现形成了鲜明的对比。它们为空间提供了一种统一的感觉，以及天然的胡桃房装置、橡木桌和椅子。

The husband who likes playing golf and the wife who loves gardening desired a garden, which can be seen from the central living room on the first floor, as the center of the house. They also desired a continuation between East and West, and assurance of privacy. The solid teak wood on the ceilings and floors, and the hard expression of the high-strength concrete create a contrast. They provide a sense of unity to the space, along with the natural walnut house fixtures, oak table and chairs.

儿子的家庭空间，喜欢冲浪，放在二楼的连接，通过开放的天花板，以方便家庭之间的自发交流。与封闭的外观相比，内部都是通风的。就连一楼后面的餐厅也被开着天花板的高侧窗里的特色灯照亮了。

The space for family of the son, who likes surfing, is placed on the second floor that is connected through the open ceiling, in order to facilitate spontaneous communication between the families. In contrast to the closed exterior appearance, the interior is all airy. Even the dining kitchen at the back of the first floor is well lit by characteristic lights from the high side window in the open ceiling.

屋顶阳台可从二楼卧室和儿童房通过开口进入。屋顶露台与甲板地板后的室外楼梯是两个家庭的共同绿洲，在那里可以看到周围的城镇。通过巧妙地使用木格和植物，在建筑物和街道之间创造了一种完美的距离和隐私感，同时也使人们享受到了适当的开放。它的功能是一个平衡的城市房屋。

The roof balcony is accessible from the second floor bedroom and the children’s room through the opening. The roof terrace with deck-flooring behind the outdoor stairs is a common oasis for the two families, where the surrounding town can be viewed. By tactfully using the wooden lattices and plantings, a perfect sense of distance and privacy are created between the building and the street, while enabling the enjoyment of the appropriate openness. It functions as a well-balanced urban house.
