架构师提供的文本描述。旧时旧金山不是每个地方都是完美的。这里有一个打嗝的织物，两条街道一起滑在一个尴尬的角度，创造了一个小地区，尚未实现的潜力，作为一个城市的地方。这两条街很宽，有着非常不同的特点。这座建筑对这一事实作出了反应，放大了它，并激活了它周围的城市景观。

Text description provided by the architects. Not every part of old San Francisco is perfect. Here was a hiccup in the fabric where two streets slide together at an awkward angle, creating a mini district with unrealized potential as an urban place. The two streets are broad and have very different character. The building responds to this fact, amplifies it, and activates the cityscape around it.

这个长的菱形包裹由三个宽阔的海湾组成，每个都有两个家；然后，这座建筑被景观美化的法院劈开，以软化从城市到家庭的过渡。悬挂在花园上方和花园之间的六个住宅都清楚地表示为一个两层高的木箱、灰泥和玻璃。一个零售店面的空间和停车场在下面。

The long rhomboidal parcel spanned by 3 wide bays each holds two homes; the building is then cleaved by landscaped courts to soften the transition from city to home. Suspended above and between these gardens each of the six homes is clearly expressed as a 2-story box of wood, stucco and glass. A retail storefront space and parking garage are tucked beneath.

每栋联排别墅的起居空间从一条街延伸到另一条街，并直接向私人露台开放。下面的花园是半私人入口的庭院，可以在狭窄的街区内一瞥。有了连锁概念，每个家庭在街道上都有自己的表现；每个家庭都有一个露台，至少有两个侧面暴露。嵌在每一个雕刻卷中的木镶板让人想起维多利亚时代大厦的彩色木材入口壁龛。

Interlocked in section, the living spaces of each townhouse stretch from street to street and open directly to private patios. The gardens below serve as semi-private entry courts and offer glimpses through the narrow block. With the interlocking concept, each home is given its own expression on the street; each gets a patio and exposure on at least 2 sides. The wood paneling nestled into each sculpted volume recalls the stained wood entry alcoves of Victorian mansions.
