从实心开始，最终产品仍然通过屋面和垂直墙来维持这种形状，这些墙创造了内部和外部的体积。由于在一个典型的面积里，每平方英尺有三到四倍大小的特殊的小房产，所以这是很重要的。外部的房间是一个关键的要素，在创造一个家庭，否则会感到渺小，感觉更大，更隐私，它是。虽然这一空间创造了一个空白，建筑物的整体形式是完整的。所有四个角落仍然与墙壁和屋顶平面，以确定原来的方框住宅。

Beginning as solid form the final product still maintains that form instead through roof planes and vertical walls that create both interior and exterior volumes.  Due to the unordinary small property in an area with typical properties three to four times the size every square foot was important. The exterior room was a key element in  creating a home that otherwise would have felt small feel larger and more private that it is. While this space creates a void the buildings overall form is kept intact.  All four corners remain with walls and roof planes to define the original box of the residence.

毗邻前部的结构，一个反射池和游泳池已经融入到项目的整体设计中，为热冷却创造了漂浮的感觉。

Adjacent to the front of the structure a reflecting and swimming pool has been integrated into the overall design of the project for thermal cooling and create the perception of floating.

由于可操作玻璃的大面积、混凝土的热质量、遮阳和池水的保温效果，屋顶上6.5kw的太阳能阵列完成了近100%的家庭用电。

Due to the large expanses of operable glass, the thermal mass of the concrete, sun shading and the insulating effect of the pool the 6.5kw solar array on the roof accomplishes supplying nearly 100% of the homes required power.
