架构师提供的文本描述。这座建筑坐落在郊区住宅区的一条河边。最主要的要求是在河上有两个视野较好的公寓单元，并保留四辆车的停车位，这是相当合理的。但后面还有一个更具挑战性的。是风水。该网站有一个四边形的形状，一边急剧倾斜。风水要求建筑物只建在场地的广场上，换句话说，我们只能使用场地的一半。

Text description provided by the architects. The building is situated along a river in the suburban residential area. The prime requirement was to have two apartment units with preferable view over the river, and to keep the parking space for four cars, which was quite reasonable. But there was the more challenging one behind. It was feng shui. The site has a quadrangle shape with one side sharply tilted. The feng shui required building the building only on the square part of the site; in other words, we could use only a half of the site.

它还需要制定正方形的计划，限制浴室的位置等等，我们似乎几乎不可能解决所有的需求。但我们决定不惜一切代价。因为这个遗址位于公元7世纪的古城墙的门槛附近。天才=基因座看上去很强。我们把一楼的面积降到最小，以适应指定区域内建筑物的足迹，而二楼的面积要大得多，而三楼的面积又小得多。

It also required making the square plan and to limit the position of bathrooms, and so on.It seemed almost impossible for us to solve all of the requirements. But we decided to do it by any means. Because the site is situated near the threshold of the ancient fort wall from 7th century. The genius=loci is seemingly very strong. We made the first floor area minimum to fit the footprint of the building in the designated area, while the second floor was much bigger, and the third floor was smaller again.

一个公寓单元占用一楼和二楼的一部分，而另一套公寓则占二楼和三楼的其余部分。每个单元的主要居住空间都有很高的天花板，还有清澈的河流景观。为了使建筑成本合理，尽管室内空间更丰富，我们不断地将倾斜墙覆盖整个体积的建筑表面积降到最低。由于笼状混凝土结构的存在，使得在室内摆脱柱和梁成为可能，实现了自由的室内规划。项目的设计完全是通过最初需求的合理解释来引导的。最后，要求的非常规性使建筑物具有相同的性质。这是设计工作的一个有趣的方面。

One apartment unit occupies the first floor and a part of the second floor, while the other occupies the rest of the second floor and the third floor. In each unit the main living space has high ceiling, and the clear view over the river. To make the construction cost reasonable despite of the richer interior space, we minimized the building surface area with the tilted walls covering the whole volume continuously. Due to the cage-like concrete structure, it became possible to get rid of columns and beams in the interior and to achieve the free interior planning. The design of the project was entirely led through the rational interpretation from the initial requirements. Finally the unconventionality of the requirement gave the building the identical character. It is an interesting aspect of the design work.
