架构师提供的文本描述。1949年，他的妻子去世后不久，阿尔托就开始在芬兰穆拉萨拉岛的西海岸为自己设计避暑之旅。通过对这座房子的设计过程，它成为了对建筑的物质性、建筑结构和哲学的实验研究。

Text description provided by the architects. Soon after the passing of his wife in 1949, Alto began the design for a summer getaway for himself on the western shore of island Muuratsalo, Finland. Through the process of designing the house, it became an experimental study of materiality, architecture construction and philosophies.

对这座房子最基本的理解是它的庭院方案，它专注于内部的空间，同时也指导仔细观察附近的佩伊尚湖。这个院子的墙壁反映了实验住宅的本质，因为有五十多种不同类型的砖块排列在不同的图案中。这使得Aalto能够测试不同安排的美学，同时也监控它们在恶劣气候下的反应。

The most basic understanding of the house is it's courtyard scheme which focuses inwards on the space while also directing careful views of the nearby Lake Paijanne. The walls of this courtyard reflect the very nature of the experimental home, as there are more than fifty different types of bricks which are arranged in various patterns. This allowed Aalto to test the aesthetics of different arrangements while also monitoring how they reacted in the rough climate.

测试概念，如地基系统，自由形式的砖结构，和被动太阳能供暖，阿尔托是舒适的探索物质，因为他只使用居住部分时间。房子的内部有一个凸起的阁楼，用作画室。这是由大木梁支撑的，支撑着空间的张力。

Testing concepts like foundation systems, free-form brick construction, and passive solar heating, Aalto was comfortable exploring materiality because he only used the residence part time. The interior of the house holds a raised loft area which was to function as a painting studio. This is supported by large wooden beams which hold the space in tension.

和所有阿尔托的建筑一样，周围53650平方米的景观在建筑体验中起着至关重要的作用。巨石和石头覆盖着苔藓，浆果和越橘灌木丛增加了一个美丽的对比砖和白色的房子。一个火坑挖进了院子的中心，变成了一个集中的聚集地。从山上的风景中升起的粉刷过的砖墙，让人感觉到一种古老的遗迹。增加了这种古老的感觉，藤蔓包裹和延伸到住宅的表面，这表明了它的年龄。

Like all of Aalto's architecture, the surrounding landscape measuring 53650 square meters plays a critical role in the experience of the architecture. Boulders and stones which are covered with moss, bilberry and lingonberry bushes add a beautiful contrast to the brick and white colors of the house. A fire pit digs into the center of the courtyard, becoming a central gathering space. A feeling of ancient ruins is prevalent with the whitewashed brick walls that rise from the landscape on the hill. Adding to this ancient feel, vines wrap and stretch across the surfaces of the dwelling which reveals its age.

除了住宅外，实验所的场地还包括桑拿浴室、阿尔托的船和围栏。这艘名为“爱马岛的尼莫·普罗菲塔”的船是由阿尔托于1954年设计的。木屏风结构为这艘船提供了保护，这艘船是作为1996年一项比赛的参赛项目而设计的，由两名丹麦学生获胜。

Besides the residence, the grounds of the experimental house also contain a sauna as well as Aalto's boat and it's enclosure. The boat, named "Nemo Propheta In Patria" was designed by Aalto in 1954. A wooden screen structure offers protection to the boat, which was designed as an entry to a 1996 competition, won by two Denmark students.
