架构师提供的文本描述。这座三层楼高的住宅不仅可以作为一座房子，还可以作为一个宾馆，偶尔可以容纳外宾和交换学生。它是用40毫米宽的香柏木模板制成的混凝土.混凝土的真实而坚实的物质性与二楼窗户上的锋利不锈钢百叶窗形成鲜明对比，这个立面给邻里街景带来了一种优雅的感觉。百叶窗有效地提供了安全和隐私的同时。

Text description provided by the architects. This three-story residence is designed to function not only as a house but as a guesthouse that occasionally accommodates foreign guests and exchange students. It is made of concrete using wood formworks composed of 40mm-wide cedar. The authentic and solid materiality of concrete is contrasted by sharp stainless steel louvers covering the second floor window, and this facade gives a touch of elegance to the streetscape of the neighborhood. Louvers effectively provide security and privacy at the same time.

在一楼，后面有一间日式客房，用作客房。它被附在一个院子里，用外露的混凝土墙包裹着，上面刻着雪松模板的水平图案。通过打开滑动门，它可以无缝地连接到面向街道的开放空间。

On the first floor, a Japanese-style room, which is used as guest room, is located in the back. It is attached to a courtyard enveloped in exposed concrete walls with inscribed horizontal patterns of cedar formworks. By opening the sliding doors, it is seamlessly connected to open space facing the street.

一楼可用作大型开放空间，在讲座、聚会等场合接待许多客人。厕所和卫生间位于入口大厅旁边。一个隔音音乐工作室位于入口大厅的尽头。它被柔和的自然光线照亮，从庭院透过半透明的玻璃正面过滤。

The first floor can be used as a large open space welcoming many guests on occasions such as lectures, parties and more. Toilets and bathrooms for guests are located next to the entrance hall. A soundproof music studio is located at the end of the entrance hall. It is illuminated with soft natural light from the courtyard filtering through the translucent glass facade.

在二楼，主卧室和儿童房位于院子旁边。每个房间都有一个私人庭院和单独或普通的浴室。一个关键的设计理念是尊重家庭和客人的隐私，以实现舒适和放松的生活方式。

On the second floor, main bedroom and child's room are located adjacent to the courtyard. Each room has a private courtyard and individual or common bathroom attached. One of the key design concepts is to respect privacy of the family and guests to achieve comfortable and relaxing life styles.

我们的目标是创造一个终极的放松空间，如酒店大堂或沙龙，在那里，人们可以自由地享受自己，欣赏优雅的Joseon王朝风格的家具和艺术作品被放置在这里和那里。内部和外部在中间区域相互融合，主人和客人和谐地聚集在一起。这种气氛代表着日本文化的热情好客。

Our goal is to create an ultimate space for relaxation, like a hotel lobby or a salon, where one can feel free to enjoy himself/herself and appreciate elegant Joseon Dynasty-style furniture and art works that are placed here and there. The interior and the exterior merge into each other at intermediate zones, and the host and the guests gather in harmony. This very atmosphere represents the warm welcoming hospitality of the Japanese culture.
