我开始考虑每一个必要的居住空间作为“单位”，最初的想法是一个典型的房间，形成一个正方形。然而，这种类型限制了四种外部联系，我觉得这与业主的要求没有协同作用。

I begun with considering each necessary living space as 'units', and the initial idea was a typical room, shaped in a square. However, this typology would limit four exterior connections, and I felt that this was not in synergy with the owner's request.

下一步是把一个圆规划成一个由所有单元组成的表面，并且与外部环境的连接是径向的和开放的。不过，这会妨碍住户的私隐。

The next step I took was to plan a circle as a surface comprising all the units, and the connection with the exterior environment is radial and open. However, this would impede with the privacy of the occupants.

因此，我把这两个想法结合在一起，把正方形单元朝径向，和一个内部庭院结合起来。这些单元内部连接，从而提供了一些隐私。

Thus, I combined these two ideas, combining square units in a radial direction, with an interior courtyard. The units are connected interiorly, thus providing some privacy.

庭院和外部环境。房子通过连接这两个实体来达到它的宽敞。(鼓掌)

The courtyard and the exterior surroundings. The house achieves it's spaciousness by connecting these two entities.
