架构师提供的文本描述。一个预先存在的28‘x28’地基被用作奥克利大厦的起点。利用这个脚印约束，房子是在现有地基的基础上重新建造的。

Text description provided by the architects. A pre-existing 28’ x 28’ foundation was used as a starting point for the Oakley House.  Using this footprint constraint, the house was built anew on top of this existing foundation.  

为了容纳4间卧室，第二层的悬臂在房子的前部和后部，为楼上提供足够的空间，同时在两头都创造了有盖的室外空间。从侧面的高度看，房子的轮廓以“T”的形式出现。

To accommodate 4 bedrooms the second story cantilevers out in the front and back of the house, providing the upstairs with adequate room while simultaneously creating covered outdoor space on both ends.  From the side elevation, the house profile takes on the form of a “T.”

暗瓦楞纸包层是一个连续的、不间断的表面，只有窗户的开口和门廊，门廊的墙壁和天花板是由涂有油漆的白色MDO面板构成的，给人的印象是它们是由一个纯矩形块“雕刻”出来的。

The dark corrugated cladding is a continuous, uninterrupted surface punctuated only by the window openings and porches.  The porch walls and ceiling are made of painted white MDO panels giving the impression that they have been “carved out” of a pure rectangular block.

地面的生活空间被想象成一个木制的“容器”，地板、窗户和墙壁都是用枫树做的，给生活空间的体积下了一个简单而简洁的定义。

The ground level living space is envisioned as a wooden “container.”  Floor, windows and walls are all made of maple, giving a simple and concise definition to the living space volume.

在房间的中心是一个独立的书架，划分生活和餐饮领域。在北墙上，木板上的一个开口显示出通往卧室的楼梯。

Centered in the room is a free standing bookshelf dividing the living and dining realms.  On the north wall an opening in the wood paneling reveals a stairway leading to the bedrooms.
