架构师提供的文本描述。房子周围有所有的窗户和花园面向南面的方向，我们觉得似乎大多数设计师都同意在设计中的某些规则。当我们第一次访问这个网站时，我们感到惊讶的是，它被房子包围了，而且非常黑暗。但是我们从房子的缝隙里发现了阳光。我们认为在房屋之间设置适当的距离对于获得足够的阳光是非常重要的。

Text description provided by the architects. Houses around this site have all of the windows and gardens facing south direction.We felt like most designers agreed upon a certain rule in design. When we first visited this site, we were surprised that it was surrounded by houses and it was a very dark. But we found the sunlight from the gaps of the houses. We thought that setting up proper distances among houses is important to get enough sunlight for this site.

一开始，我们在南侧和北面做了两卷，我们决定把中心正方形的体积旋转到45度，使之离北侧的房屋有足够的距离。另一方面，这座房子的南侧则位于遗址的形状上。同时，我们提供了两个卷之间的差距。因此，它创造了两个三角形花园，并从内部的小孔中提供了一些光线，这意味着这所房子可以从外部的相邻/周围房屋的缝隙中获得足够的阳光，从内部的两卷中获得足够的光。

At first, we made two volumes in south and north sides.We decided to rotate the center square volume to 45 degrees to make enough distance from the houses in the north side. On the other hand, south side of this house is positioned along the shape of the site. At the same time we provided a gap between two volumes. As a result, it created two triangle gardens and provided some light from the small opening in the inside.We mean that this house can get enough sunlight from the gaps of the neighboring /surrounding houses in the outside and gaps from the two volumes from the inside.

另一方面，在规划中还有另一个概念要制定。每个房间都按一定的顺序排列，考虑到家庭/用户在日常生活中将如何使用它们。每个舱位都没有门。我们为这些空间创造了一条共同的通道/走廊。入口处、厨房、餐厅、起居室、儿童室和卧室相互毗邻，两个花园与居住空间的关系最为重要。我们注意到，家庭在生活空间中花费的时间最长，因此我们使设计更加灵活。

On the other side, there is another concept to make in planning. Each rooms are arranged in certain order putting into consideration how family/users are going to use them in daily life. There are no doors provided for each spaces. We created a common passage/hallway for the spaces. The entrance, kitchen, dinning room, living room, kids room and bedroom were placed right next to each other.The relation of two gardens and the living space is the most important. We notice that the family spends the longest time in the living space so we made the design more flexible.

居住空间可以扩展到花园，以提供更广阔的空间，一楼的居住空间从内部的小开口获得足够的阳光，两个花园与相邻的房子有足够的距离。这使得空间在白天一直明亮。

The living space could be extended to the garden to provide a wider space.The living space in the first floor gets enough sunlight from the small opening from the inside and two gardens which have enough distance from the neighboring houses. That makes the space bright the whole time during the day.
