架构师提供的文本描述。这座新房子建在旧金山现有的一片25英尺宽的地块上，里面有两个独立的空间，由一个内部庭院隔开。前面的结构有一个街级的车库，上面有一个画室；后面的空间是主楼，卧室在较低层，中间是起居空间，顶层是主卧室。这个项目的设计使用了两个分段移动：水平和垂直。水平移动创造了两个庭院-在房子的中间和后面-而垂直移动则把较低的卧室挖掘到车库和街道的水平。这两种行动的结合有助于将房屋与场地和周围的城市结构相互联系起来，从而将内外空间交织在一起，发挥光明和黑暗的作用。

Text description provided by the architects. This new house, infilled on an existing 25-foot wide lot in San Francisco, includes two distinct volumes separated by an interior courtyard. The front structure has a garage at street grade and a painting studio above; the back volume is the main house, with the bedrooms on the lower level, living spaces in the middle, and a master bedroom on the top floor. The design of this project uses two sectional moves: horizontal and vertical. The horizontal move creates two courtyards -- in the middle and at the back of the house -- while the vertical move digs the lower bedrooms down to the garage and street level. The combination of these two moves serves to interlock the house to the site and the surrounding urban fabric, thus interweaving the inside and outside spaces with a play of light and dark.

这所房子的主楼层-一个开放式的平面图，有厨房、餐厅和生活空间-被两层楼的楼梯隔开，和后面的院子在一起。三楼大楼的倒退打开了这座房子，可以看到海湾和金门大桥的壮观景色。这所房子有七个室外空间，都有独特的品质和景观：工作室的前甲板，工作室顶部的甲板，较低层的庭院，庭院外的入口层甲板，后院，玻璃和木头人行道，以及后院。这些甲板和空间展开周围的住宅生活区，从而释放了视觉复杂性的结构和它的地点。

The main floor of the house - an open floor plan with kitchen, dining and living spaces -- is punctuated by a two-story space for the stair, and is on grade with the rear yard. A setback of the building on the third floor opens the house to spectacular views of the bay and the Golden Gate Bridge. The house has seven outdoor spaces, all with distinctive qualities and views: the front deck at the studio, the deck on top of the studio, the lower level courtyard, the entry level deck off the courtyard, the back courtyard, the glass and wood walkway, and the backyard. These decks and spaces unfurl around the living areas of the house, thereby unlocking the visual complexity of the structure and its site.
