这片土地的自然地形从前7米的25%向河流倾斜，然后几乎达到房屋所在的几乎完全平坦的区域。梯形多边形和建筑物之间的2米限制引发了一个自然遵循地形形状的方案。

The natural topography of the land has a slope towards the river from 25% in the first 7 meters and then reaches an almost completely flat area, where the house is located. The trapezoidal polygon and a 2 meters restriction between buildings provoked a scheme that naturally followed the shape of the terrain.

需要建立的前提之一是，用户可以从房子的任何地方看到河流的存在。从视觉上看，它是通过私人区域的屋顶露台实现的，整个房子都能听到河水的声音。

One of the premises to be established was that users could perceive the existence of the river from anywhere in the house. Visually it is achieved with a rooftop terrace of the private area, and audibly the sound of the river can be heard throughout the whole house.

该设计确定了网站的三个主要要素。河流作为一种视觉和听觉元素，高高的树木勾勒出阴影和竖直的节奏，而小山则在河的另一边升起。

The design identifies three predominant elements of the site. The river as a visual and auditory element, the high trees sketching shadows and setting a vertical rhythm and the hill that rises across the river.

这两种主要材料的二重性和反差反映了一种建议，即将发生在屋内的具体活动划分为共存活动和个人活动。

The duality and contrast of the two main materials respond to a proposal to divide the specific activities that happen inside the house, grouping them in coexistence activities and individual activities.

生活区保持在单一透明的大气中，混凝土体积包含单独的空间。光的使用从私人向公众急剧变化，在私人中，灯光被及时地处理，在公共空间，它与外部融为一体。这所房子有一个水循环系统，在经过简单的除臭处理后，可以将淋浴中的水用于厕所和清洁。

The living area is kept in a single transparent atmosphere, and the volume of concrete containing the individual spaces. The use of light changes drastically from the private to the public, in the private the light is handled in a timely manner and in the public space it blends with the outside. The house haves a water recycling system that takes the water from the showers to be used at toilets and for cleaning, after a simple treatment for odor control.
