架构师提供的文本描述。该设计基于一系列平行区域。它们强调了从公共部门向私营部门的逐步过渡，并组织了这些职能。

Text description provided by the architects. The design is based on a sequence of parallel zones. They underline the gradual transition from the public to the private and they organize the functions.

区域1：篱笆和密集的灌木丛阵列标记财产边界。房子是通过一个墙系统的外部隔开，这是整个体积计划的一部分，而不是一个独立的条件。

Zone 1: The fences and the dense array of bushes mark the property boundaries. The house is separated by the exterior through a system of walls that are part of the whole volumetric scheme rather than being an independent condition.

第二区：低植被在树篱与主体积之间形成缓冲地带。

Zone 2: Low vegetation organizes the buffer zone between the hedge and the main volume.

第三区：直接进入的公共参考区，即客厅和餐厅所在的地方。最主要的感觉是黑色家具与白色背景的强烈对比。

Zone 3: The public reference area at the immediate access, where the living room and the dining room are situated. The dominant feeling is the intense contrast of the black furniture against the white backdrop.

第四区：内部交叉的轴线是主要的组成元素，由于它将空间分成两个解锁，因此是清晰可见的。

Zone 4: The axis of the interior crossing is the main compositional element and is clearly visible since it divides the space into two untis.

第五区：最后一个区域调整到日常使用和休闲功能所在的物业的内部界限(厨房、电视房、游泳池或客房)。这些空间是由黑色瓷砖、木地板和水元素组合而成的，所有这些材料都是在占主导地位的白色体积内整合而成的。

Zone 5: The final zone is adjustent to the inner limit of the property where functions of everyday use and leisure are located (the kitchen, the tv room, the pool or the guest house). These spaces are formed with combinations of materials like black tile, wooden floors and the element of water, all intergrated within the dominant white volume.

最终的结果是形成了三个不同的实体。日常体验的转变发生在他们之间，生活被投射在他们创造的内部外观上。一项基本原则是以核心思想为基础的选择的一致性及其在每个尺度上的应用。

The final result is the formation of three distinct entities. The transitions of everyday experience take place among them and life is projected on the internal facades they create. A fundamental principle has been the consistency of choices based on a central core of thought and its application on every scale.
