由于站在后面并清楚地了解容量度量的空间将是有限的，因此设计不能基于“对象化”。

As the space to stand back and get a clear idea of the volumetrics would be limited, the design could not be based on “objecthood”.

因此，关键是计划：一个“房间的社会”，不受盛行的大西洋东北风的保护，有庭院、露台和一个有“内爆”的屋顶。封闭的腹侧露台提供了围绕它的路径选择，增强了规模感和使用房子的各种方式。

Hence the key is the plan: a “society of rooms” sheltered from the prevailing Atlantic NE wind, with courtyards, terraces and a roof with an “impluvium”. The enclosed ventral patio offers a choice of pathways around it, enhancing the sense of scale and the variety of ways to use the house.

公共和私人区域位于房子的两端，这样居民和客人就可以独处，也可以随心所欲地享受彼此的陪伴。公共和私人房间都设有拱形天花板，而在服务区域，如厨房或走廊，天花板是水平的。小功能，如台阶和坡道，增加了对内部的兴趣，同时强调在不同程度的隐私地区之间的过渡。

The public and private areas are at opposite ends of the house so that residents and guests can either be alone or enjoy each other’s company as they wish. Both communal and private rooms are provided with vaulted ceilings, whilst in the service areas, such as the kitchen or the corridors, the ceilings are horizontal. Small features such as steps and a ramp add interest to the interior whilst emphasising the transition between areas with different degrees of privacy.
