架构师提供的文本描述。中心的一个画廊，创建通信，连接房屋和社区

Text description provided by the architects. A Gallery in the Center Creating Communications and Connecting the House and Community

这所房子坐落在一个面向狭窄而陡峭的斜坡的地方。街对面是一片树林，它的景色宜人，夏天有新鲜的绿色植物，秋天有深红色的叶子。客户的要求是一栋住宅，里面有一间小画廊和一间办公室。

The house stands on a site facing a narrow, steep slope. Across the street is a wood, which promises a pleasant view with fresh greenery in summer and crimson foliage in autumn. The client’s request was a residential house containing a small gallery and office.

这项要求建议这所房子必须向城镇社区开放。我对这个要求的回答是建造这座“漂浮”的房子。准确地说，画廊是唯一一个接地的房间，四周环绕着一个微风和煦的木甲板，海拔约1米。甲板地板上的圆形空心可容纳一个圆形长凳，人们可以坐在那里一边欣赏木头的景色，一边享用美食。

The request suggested that the house must be open to the town community. My answer to the requirement was to build the house “afloat”. To be precise, the gallery is the only grounded room, which is surrounded by a breezy and sunny wood deck raised at about 1m. Round hollow on the deck floor accommodates a round bench, where people can sit and enjoy meals while watching over the wood view.

空间也可以作为外部画廊。木甲板向房子前面倾斜的道路倾斜，创造了一个房子内外区域交汇并相互作用的地方。住宅区和办公室可以通过各自的楼梯进入。

The space may also serve as the external gallery. The wood deck, tilted towards the sloped road in front of the house, created a place where the internal and external areas of the house meet and interacts. The residential area and office can be approached via respective staircases.

住宅区的内部空间包括右侧的餐厅和面向木材的厨房，以及左侧的地板，围绕着庭院和螺旋式上升。

The internal space of the residential area consists of a dining kitchen on the right and facing the wood, and a floor on the left, surrounding the courtyard and spirally ascending.

餐厅设有一张宽的柜台，适合夫人组织的烹饪班，不均匀的地板为不同数量的客人提供了不同的角落供他们坐下。当然，在日常生活中，空间是家庭的客厅。

The dining kitchen has a wide counter table suitable for accommodating cooking classes the madam organizes, and the uneven floor provides various corners for different number of guests to sit down. In daily life, of course, the space serves as the family’s living room.
