架构师提供的文本描述。这两所房子是为两个家庭设计的，每个家庭有四名成员及其工作人员。整个设计策略围绕着他们所拥有的友谊纽带展开，两家的功能是相似的，因为这两家人或多或少都属于同一个社会和经济圈。

Text description provided by the architects. These two houses were designed for two families with four members each and their staff. The whole design strategy revolved around the bond of friendship that they have. The function of the two houses is similar, as the two families belong in the same social and economical circles, more or less.

这两幢房子的私人部分位于楼上，还有工作或休息点，而最“公共”的空间，如起居室、厨房、餐厅，则是在底层设计的。地下室里有游戏室，活动空间，公用设施和暖通空调空间。这是这两所房子的基本思想。当我们进行详细的设计时，每栋房子都保留了自己的建筑语言和基本功能，但最终适应了业主的特殊需要和喜好。

The private parts of the two houses are found in the upper floors, along with the work or rest spots, while the most “public” spaces, such as sitting rooms, kitchen, dinning, are designed on the ground floors. In the basement there are playrooms, perking spaces, and utility and hvac spaces as well. That is the basic idea of the two houses. As we proceeded to the detailed design each house retained its architectural language and basic function, but finally adjusted to the special needs and likes of their owner.

房子的前院和后院实际上是常见的，并一直为两家人所使用。这是他们有意识地作出的决定，也是外层空间工作方式的特点。我们必须保持，尽管有一定的隐私。因此，我们设计了凉亭，阳台两侧的墙壁，并使用了其他一些设计技巧，以实现私人景点和区域。卧室的窗户是这样一个技巧，以确保外景和隐私在同一时间。

The front and back yards of the houses are actually common and used by both families all the time. That was a conscious decision from them and characterizes the way the outer spaces work. We had to keep, though a certain amount of privacy. So we designed pergolas, walls to the balcony sides and used some other design tricks, to achieve private spots and zones. The bedroom window are such a trick to ensure outer views and privacy at the same time.

为了最终定制每个房子，使用了一种具有不同卷开发的通用架构语言。

A common architectural language with a different volume development was used in order to customize each house in the end.

在采石场中，为了保持均匀的颜色和质地，甚至在切割之前，就在采石场中选择了使用过的石头。外面的屋顶被海滩上的木头覆盖着。我们还用混凝土金属和木材作为这两座房子的外部元素。

The stone that was used, was chosen in the quarry before even been cut, in order to maintain the uniform color and texture. The outside roofs were covered in beach wood. We also used concrete metal and wood for the exterior elements of the two houses.
