架构师提供的文本描述。该遗址位于人口稠密的浴场上，四周环绕着附近三个方向的房屋。把房子开到海边是很自然的决定。

我们决定接受这样一种想法，那就是要同时遮挡令人不安的景色，把美丽的景色投射到大海和天空上。我们尝试了各种类型的庭院风格结构，以寻找一种方式来架构海洋和天空。我们最终想出了一个类似避难所的结构。它由一系列的结构构件组成，它们围绕着中间的空隙，没有任何墙壁或屋顶。

We decided to go with the idea of obstructing the disturbing view and framing the beautiful view towards the sea and the sky at the same time. We experimented with various types of courtyard style structure in order to find a way to frame the sea and the sky. And we eventually came up with this shelter-like structure. It is composed of a sequence of structural members that wraps around the void space in middle, without any wall or roof.

从这个结构中，我们创造了一个人在海中游荡的空间图像。海滨贝壳屋是一种木材壳结构，具有曲线节奏序列的褶皱状结构成员。

From this structure we created a spatial image of a person wandering into a seashell. Seashore Shell House is a timber shell structure featuring the curvilinear rhythmic sequence of pleat-like structural members.
