架构师提供的文本描述。KLR住宅是1982年在科隆建造的，是一个联排别墅，有两个单元。在这些天，它是第一个实现的建筑师谁为她的丈夫和她自己设计。一套带独立楼梯的可出租的公寓楼应该能为这对年轻夫妇提供经济上的支持。

Text description provided by the architects. The House KLR was built 1982 in Cologne as a townhouse with two units. In these days it was one of the first realized buildings of the architect who designed it for her husband and herself. A rentable in-law apartment with a separate staircase was supposed to support the young couple financially.

德伊兹区是KLR的所在地，传统上被视为科隆的第二部分，其中心位于莱茵河对岸。在过去的十年里，曾经被忽视的德伊兹变成了科隆市中心的一个受欢迎的地方。

The district Deutz, where House KLR is located, was traditionally regarded as a secondary part of Cologne, whose centre resides on the opposite side of the river Rhine. In the last decade the once neglected dirstrict Deutz evolved into a popular address within Cologne’s inner city.

在20世纪30年代，这个街区的大部分地方都有3到4层的住宅建筑，而KLR的狭小建筑直到20世纪80年代才被用作水果和蔬菜园。战后简约实用的建筑，如今在德国城市中最为普遍，在今天占据着主导地位。

Most parts of the neighborhood were errected in the 1930’s with 3-4 story residential buildings while the narrow building site of House KLR was used as a fruit and vegetable garden until the 1980’s. The simple and practical post-war architecture, nowadays most common in German cities, dominates the area today.

设计方面的一个挑战是遵守建筑法规，同时在小块土地上创造足够的居住空间。有效的建筑法要求一楼到东行物业线的距离为3.0米，而二楼的距离为4.5米。作为对这些要求的回应，一个雕塑结构似乎多次来回跳跃。

One challenge regarding the design was to follow building laws while producing sufficient living space on the small plot. The valid building law requested 3.0 meters distance between ground floor and the eastbound property line while the second floor required 4.5 meters distance to the same boundary. In reaction to these demands a sculptural structure originated that seems to jump back and forth playfully multiple times.

不同的跳跃立方体导致了更多有用的表面，这使得建造一个足够宽敞的屋顶露台成为可能。剩下的两个立面-一个面向街道，另一个面向花园-是按照东面建筑雕塑结构的风格设计的，从而保留了周围建筑物的原貌元素。除了前屋的主题外，小窗式和抹灰立面作为邻近房屋的典型元素也被包括在设计中。

The diversely leaping cubes led to additional useful surfaces which made the construction of a sufficiently spacious roof terrace for the in-law apartment possible. The two remaining facades – one facing the street the other the garden – were designed in the style of the sculptural structure of the east façade, thereby, preserving the element of the oriel present in the surrounding buildings. Besides the motif of the oriel the small window formats and the plastered facade as typical elements of the neighbouring housing were included into the design.

厨房和就餐区设置在最低层，以便花园可以用作夏季额外的用餐区。花园也被认为是一个游憩区，因为他独特的位置-在街道下面，被围墙所遮挡-它在城市中间形成了一个孤独的绿洲的特征。主公寓的卧室位于一楼，通过公寓内的楼梯与另外两层相连。

The kitchen and dining area are set in the lowest level, so that the garden can be used as an additional dining area during the summer. The garden is also regarded as a recreational area, as for his unique position - below street level and shielded by the enclosing wall - it gains the character of a lonesome oasis in the midst of the city. The bedrooms of the main apartment are located on the first floor and are connected with the two other floors through stairs within the apartment.

这套公寓楼也是由二楼一直延伸到阁楼。今天，它容纳了科隆建筑事务所的拱形建筑。

The in-law apartment is also structured as a maisonette, and reaches from the second floor till the attic. Today it accommodates the Cologne architecture office of archequipe.
