架构师提供的文本描述。这所房子是一个简单的L形平面，既包含和延伸到步进花园.内部花园庭院是隐藏在计划的深度，桥接之间的楼层和倒置线的内外。在高度契约的管理下，屋顶护栏线是固定的和直的。一楼是房子的私人空间，地板到天花板的高度略有压缩。这些私人空间在连续的砖面上有精确的和有形状的开口。

Text description provided by the architects. The house is a simple L‐shaped plan, both containing and extending into the stepping garden. An internal garden court is hidden in the depth of the plan, bridging between the floors and inverting the line of inside and outside. Governed by a height covenant, the roof parapet line is fixed and straight. The first floor houses the private spaces of the house, with a slightly compressed floor to ceiling height. These private spaces have precise and figured openings in the continuous brick façade.

立面位于最轻的支撑系统上，不太可能在地面上盘旋。这种环形立面的底部倾斜和举升，通过牧师式的玻璃将光线和景致带入底层公共空间。砖墙外墙通过其图案、质地和处理被赋予了一种类似质量的面料。使用碾压砖和再生砖，在砌砖过程中引入了两种方法：

The facade rests on the lightest of support systems, improbably hovering over the ground level. The underside of this looping facade tilts and lifts, admitting light and views to the ground floor public rooms, through clerestory glazing. The brick façade is given a fabric like quality through its pattern, texture and treatment. Using rolled and recycled bricks, two moves are introduced into the brick laying:

将整块砖倾斜在立面对齐线内或外

tilting a full brick in or outside of the façade alignment

在1，2和3的倍数中引入更多的半块砖(佛兰芒语和英语键的混合物)

introducing additional half bricks into the coursing in multiples of 1, 2 and 3 (A mixture of Flemish and English bonds)

虽然最初使用的是测试板，但这些元素是由砖层随机引入的。这支队伍把砖头放在一根绳子上，头砖工在他们后面移动，用他的铲子的柄端敲击砖头。

Although test panels were used initially, these elements were introduced randomly by the bricklayers. The team laid the bricks to a string line and the head bricklayer moved behind them, tapping the bricks in or out with the handle end of his trowel.

通过这些简单的动作，出现了一个无穷无尽的变化模式，形成了手工制作的、柔软而复杂的砖头面纱。砖块上涂的是一种没有沙子含量的水泥基涂料。它的作用就像一个轻浆料，在纹理的砖面上稍微不均匀地堆积起来。这种平滑的粉刷把图案粘合在一起，软化边缘，填充凹槽，形成粘合的机织表面。阴影的边缘被图案略微波纹化，而强烈的阳光在白天的表面闪烁。

Through these simple moves, an infinitely variable pattern emerges, resulting in a hand crafted, soft and complex veil of brickwork. The bricks were painted with a cement based paint without sand content. It acts like a light slurry, building up slightly unevenly over the textured brick face. This smooth whitewashing holds the pattern together, softening the edges and filling cavities, making a cohesive woven surface. The edges of shadows are slightly corrugated by the pattern while strong sunlight flickers cinematically on the surface through the day.
