图腾是雕塑中的雕塑。图腾馆的图腾是一个垂直画廊，展出约翰和罗伯特的纪念品来自世界各地。每件作品都经过仔细的测量，并放置在塔内的指定壁龛中。一个打开的木楼梯连接着房子的三层楼，在图腾周围轻轻地循环，让人们可以从不同的角度观察艺术品。白天，楼梯上方的天窗自然照亮图腾，夜间在壁龛内安装专门的LED灯。图腾自然成为了房子里的焦点，因为它从各个层次的每个角落都可以看到。

A totem is sculptures within a sculpture. The totem in Totem House is a vertical gallery that exhibits John and Robert’s souvenirs from around the world. Each piece has been carefully measured and placed in a designated niche inside the Tower. An open wooden staircase connecting the three stories of the house gently circulates around the totem allowing one to observe the artworks from many different angles. During the day the skylight above the staircase naturally illuminates the totem, and at nighttime dedicated LED lights installed inside the niches light each piece. The totem naturally becomes the focal point in the house, as it is visible from every corner on all levels.

设计的演变是一个简单的几何学痴迷于广场和网格。从10个10‘x10’正方形开始，在线性场所仔细组装，然后逻辑模块被专门用于必要的房间在房子里。广场不仅定义了室内房间，而且还划定了后院庭院的边界、景观、停车场和有盖的入口处。图腾位于中央广场，将客厅和餐厅与一楼的厨房和二楼的两间卧室分开。

The evolution of design was a simple geometrical obsession with squares and grids. Starting with ten 10’ x 10’ squares carefully assembled on the linear site, logical modules were then dedicated to essential rooms in the house. The squares not only define the interior rooms, but they also formulate the boundaries of the backyard patio, the landscape, the parking area and the covered entry to the house. The totem sits on the central square dividing the living/dining area from the kitchen on the ground floor and the two bedrooms on the second floor.

罗伯特和约翰的厨房不可能是典型的城市厨房，因为他们没有典型的烹饪习惯。他们热衷于品味，他们是最朴素和别致的。他们想用一个没有引擎盖的煤气燃烧器做饭。除了家用电器之外，所有东西都隐藏在白色柜门后面，从地板到天花板覆盖着墙壁。

Robert and John’s kitchen could not be a typical urban kitchen, because they don’t have typical cooking habits. They passionately care for taste and they are minimal and chic. A gas burner cook-top with no hood on top was what they wanted to cook their food on. Except for the appliances everything is concealed behind the white cabinet doors that cover the wall from floor to ceiling.

在二楼，主卧室是他们风格的又一份宣言，套间和卧室完全合并在一起，用自然光冲洗，挑战是如何在不干扰潮湿区域的情况下用干墙来定义它们。美丽的大理石瓷砖将淋浴和浴缸区域与其他硬木地板隔开。独立的浴缸安装在房间的角落，有一个安静的角落可以看到庭院。

On the second floor the master bedroom is yet another manifesto of their style, with the ensuite and the bedroom entirely merged together and washed with natural light, the challenge was to define the wet zones without disturbing them with drywalls. Beautiful marble tiles separate the shower and the bathtub area from the rest of the hardwood floor. The freestanding bathtub installed in the corner of the room has a peaceful corner view to the courtyard.

房子的外部是一块完整的木炭砖块。在北面和南面的两个小块，这个完美的块体已经被提取出来，并与木材。小木角创造了一个有趣的欺骗，人们想象木材是砖块的核心材料，就像一个被咬过的苹果露出了它的肉的颜色。木炭砖和木材与近邻的和谐对比与周围环境联系在一起，设计简陋的景观，使邻居们能够完美地把房子设计得井井有条。

The exterior of the house is a monolithic charcoal brick mass. Two small blocks on the north and south facade of this perfect mass have been extracted and cladded with wood. The small wooden corner creates an interesting deception where one imagines the wood to be the core material of the brick mass, like a bitten apple exposing the color of its flesh. The harmonious contrast of the charcoal brick and the wood with the immediate neighbors is tied to the surroundings with a humble design for the landscape allowing the neighbors to perfectly frame the house.
