架构师提供的文本描述。我们生活在这样一个时代，智能手机和平板电脑掌握在每个人的手中，多任务是正常的生活方式。受客户多重任务生活方式的影响，对新家提出了一系列不同的要求。其中一位客户是一家公关公司的老板，他们要求在家里不间断地开展多种活动；在招待一群孩子的同时，还可以举行晚宴，或者客人可以来来去去，而不打扰其他家庭成员。这些编程请求以图表的方式划分站点，并建立从前到后的视图走廊。透过房屋的透明度同时展示活动，并提供一个环境，客人可以看到和被看到。

Text description provided by the architects. We live in a time where smart phones and tablets are in everyone’s hands and multitasking is the normal way of life. Influenced from the client’s multitasking lifestyle, a diverse set of requirements developed for a new home.  The clients, one of whom is the owner of a public relations company, requested that multiple activities could take place throughout the house without interruption; a dinner party could take place while simultaneously entertaining a group of children, or guests could come and go without disturbing the rest of the family. These programmatic requests diagrammatically divide the site as well as establish view corridors from front to back. Transparency through the house puts simultaneous activities on display, and provides a setting where guests can see and be seen.

一系列的开放式盒子，每个都是为建筑项目的一部分量身定做的，每个盒子都把视线从街道上集中到房子后面的景观上。桃花心木板包裹地板、天花板和盒子的两侧，以提高透视效果，并为邻居提供隐私。每个盒子都有独立的音频、视频和气候控制来自主操作，并且每个盒子的长度、高度和音量都被调整以适当地封装程序。在外部，排列的盒子之间的间隙是花园和露台。内部框的重叠会产生阈值并突出有趣的时刻。当每个盒子占据一个特定的程序时，不同事件的多任务处理就实现了。

A series of open-ended boxes, each tailored to a portion of the architectural program focuses the view from the street though the house to the landscape in the rear.  Mahogany boards wrap floors, ceilings, and the sides of the boxes to heighten the perspectival view and provide privacy from neighbors. Each box has independent audio, video, and climate control to operate autonomously and the length, height, and volume of each of the box is adjusted to appropriately encase the program. On the exterior, interstitial spaces between the arranged boxes are gardens and patios. The overlap of the boxes on the interior creates thresholds and highlight interesting moments.  With each box occupying a specific program, the multitasking of different events is achieved.

由于材料有限，石灰华被用作露台的地板和部分开放式盒子的覆层。为了将石材作为外包层，设计了一种自定义悬挂系统。钙华壁板在顶部和底部被数控丝形成的框架捕获，并与上述过程重叠。壁板的比例和重复度反映了该地区普遍存在的木瓦白话。

With a limited material palate, travertine is used as flooring for the terraces and as cladding on portions of the open-ended boxes. To use the stone as an exterior cladding, a custom hanging system was designed. The travertine siding is captured at the top and bottom by a CNC wire formed frame and overlapped by the following course above. The proportion and repetition of the siding references the wood shingle vernacular ubiquitous in the area.

壁炉融合了一件实用的物品和一件精心制作的雕塑艺术作品。壁炉是一个瞬间框架，承受横向负荷，允许餐厅和客厅的大开口体积。它还设有一个衣橱和暖通空调组件。对重叠、重复的青铜构件进行了数字化加工和现场组装，研究了不同的铜板工艺，实现了暗青铜对房和罩内抛光青铜。上面的阳光被抛光的青铜和滤光透过重叠结构的缝隙反射出来。主卧室的床头板采用了类似的施工方法，采用了重复的带状皮革。

The fireplace merges a utilitarian object and a crafted, sculptural work of art.  The fireplace is a moment frame, supporting lateral loads to allow for the large open-ended volume of the dining and living room.  It also houses a coat closet and the HVAC components. The overlapping, repeating bronze components were digitally fabricated and assembled on site.  Different patina processes were studied to achieve the dark bronze facing the room and the polished bronze on the interior of the hood. Sunlight from above is reflected by the polished bronze and filters through the gaps from the overlapped construction. Similar construction methods were utilized for the master bedroom headboard using repeating strips of belting leather.

将程序分成单独的卷可以让客户的多任务生活方式继续留在自己的家中。在每天多任务处理看起来混乱的地方，这种架构形成了一种新的秩序。客户的新家使他们能够跟上忙碌的生活方式，同时也提供了喘息的机会。

The separation of program into individual volumes allows the multitasking lifestyle of the clients to continue into their home.  Where multitasking on a daily basis can seem chaotic, a new order is developed by the architecture.  The client’s new home allows them to keep up with their busy lifestyle while also providing respite from it.
