架构师提供的文本描述。保护现有的外观是该项目的第一优先事项，这不仅是因为对前业主作出的承诺，而且也是因为新的房东不愿把过去扫得一干二净。此外，这个立面很方便地站在离道路很短但一定有好处的地方。但是，这种特定的配置有一定的要求。与此同时，承包商对日本建筑和传统的了解和热情为对该项目的思考提供了素材。

Text description provided by the architects. Preserve the existing façade was the first priority of this project not only because of the promise made to the former owners but also because the new landlords cared not to sweep the past away. In addition, this facade stood conveniently at a short but certainly benefit distance from the road. However, this particular configuration had certain requirements. In parallel, knowledge and passion of the contractor for Japanese architecture and traditions fed the reflections on the project.

首先，要把项目发展到高度，才能到达风景和光线。然后，从一楼，拆开和铰接的空间创造了室外空间，以适应不同功能的房子。户外区域都是增强家庭体验的附加部分。这样，一个天井就在旧的立面后面，主卧室的体积下有一个有盖的露台，紧邻起居室，屋顶变成了露台。

First, it was necessary to develop the project in height to go and reach the views and light. Then, from the first floor, dislodged and articulated volumes create outdoor spaces adjusted to the different functions of the house. The outdoor areas are all additional parts that enhance the experience of the home. Thus a patio has its place behind the old facade, a covered terrace under the volume of the master bedroom adjoins the living rooms, and the roof turns into a terrace.

每一个可用的一层表面都被使用。它包括大厅、办公室和一个公用室，从现有立面的窗户里获得自然光。至于地窖和锅炉房，他们在岩石脚下的黑暗中找到了自己的位置。一楼满是两间卧室和一间浴室。每个房间都可以直接进入同一层的露台。

Every available surface of the ground floor is used. It includes the lobby, an office and a utility room benefiting from natural light through the windows of the existing façade. As for the cellar and boiler room, they find their place in the bottom plot in the dark at the foot of the rock. Two bedrooms and a bathroom fill the first floor. Each of these rooms enjoys a direct access to the patio at the same level.

在二楼，合奏生活/餐厅/厨房与现有的立面分离，就像一个玻璃卷悬在南面。靠近岩石的有盖的露台可以从厨房到达。主卧室，有化妆和浴室的高峰在三楼的房子。它的南面和景观森林和屋顶露台，其优越的南方曝光率，高度和挫折的邻居和街道。

At the second floor, the ensemble living / dining-room / kitchen dissociates itself from the existing façade as a glass volume overhanging to the south. A covered terrace near the rock is accessible from the kitchen. The master bedroom with dressing and bathroom peaks at the 3rd floor of the house. It enjoys the south-facing and views of the forest and a roof terrace with its privileged southern exposure, height and setback from the neighborhood and the street.

外部空间和内部空间的比例是相同的。因此，原来的外墙、岩石和两面墙不再是障碍，而是项目中宇宙的守护者。

The exterior and interior spaces meet in the same scale ratio. The original façade, the rock and the two party walls are therefore no longer obstacles but the guardians of the universe within the project.
