但是，我们认为自然要素对于这个大房子的舒适性是很重要的，我们尝试的不是采用绿色和自然材料等可见的自然，而是控制风、阳光等无形的自然环境，我们认为房子里最不舒服的是房间之间的温差，而不是距离。因此，我们用保温板覆盖外墙。

However, we thought the natural elements is important to make this large scale house comfortable. We tried not to adopt visible nature such as green and natural materials, but to control invisible natural environment such as wind, sunlight, and thermal condition. We thought the most unpleasant thing in the house is the difference in temperature between the rooms rather than the distance. Therefore we covered exterior wall with insulation board on the outside.

在夏季，我们还竖直地布置了开口，在整个房子中产生中等气流，并采用了一个地板热采暖系统，利用合理的午夜功率，在冬季的任何地方都能保持室内的恒温。

We also arranged  openings vertically to generate a moderate air stream in the whole house in the summer and adopted a thermal floor heating system using reasonable midnight power to keep constant temperature anywhere in the house all day long in the winter.

在房子的中心，高高的天花板走廊不仅是房子的象征，也是夏天气流塔的象征。

The high ceiled corridor in the center of the house is not only the symbol of the house but also the tower of the air stream in the summer.

为了尽量减少花园的维护工作，我们把建筑物的设计方案与场地相比，使建筑的高度与周围环境的规模相协调。我们决定了建筑的细节，并考虑了建筑规模与房屋规模的平衡。

In order to minimize the work of keeping a garden, we make the plan of the building  large compared with the site, and make the heightof that low to be in harmony with the scale of the surroundings. We decided the details of the building with consideration of the balance with the scale of the house. 

从客厅向东望去，高光和前灯的阳光照射在外面的风景中，透过百叶窗进入室内，给房子的内部提供了向北开放的室内，宁静的灯光和舒适的气氛。

The view from the living room toward east, the sunlight from high side light and the fore light which shines on outside scenery and enters inside through the louvers give the interior of the house, which is opened to the North,  peaceful lighting and comfortableness.
