这样的环境，即使是在市中心，也对设计产生了重大影响。这所房子在房子的每一层都有许多花园，以使周围的景观进入房子。最终，房子将成为这个更大景观的一部分，与此同时，绿色的环境将有助于保护隐私。

Such surroundings, even in the midst of the city, significantly impacted the design. The house includes many gardens on each floor of the house, to bring the surrounding landscape into the house. In the end, the house will be part of this larger landscape, and in the meantime the green surroundings will help with privacy.

客户想要确保他们可以享受这个更大的景观，以及他们收集的艺术品和家具。我们广泛地讨论了他们的生活方式和这些家具的设置-以及如何塑造材料，光，空气和空间，以适应这一更广泛的目标。

The clients wanted to insure that they could enjoy this larger landscape, as well as the art and furnishings that they have collected. We extensively discussed both their life style and a setting for these furnishings - and how to mold materials, light, air and space to fit this broader goal.

所有材料、照明和空间都是在房子内建造的，以便与艺术、家具以及功能一起工作。细节和颜色是考虑这些事情。他们应该保持沉默，但应该有自己的身份。

All materials, lighting and space are in constructed within the house to work with art and furniture, as well as function. Details and colors are considered for these things. They should be silent, but should have an identity.

大部分的设计细节都是专门为这个房子开发的，考虑到这个整体的目的，包括手柄，台阶和窗户。

Most of the design details were developed specifically for this house, with this overall purpose in mind, down to handles, steps and windows.

它的结构很复杂，但我们尽量不让它显露出来。这个空间首先被认为是来自外部的光线，空气的流动，以及艺术的规划。在空间和每一个层次上看到或感受每一种事物，都是一种享受，以不同的光和感觉呈现出四个清澈的季节。

The structure is complex, but we tried not to make this visible. The space was considered first in terms of the light from the outside, the flow of air, and the planning of art. Enjoyable to see or feel each in the space, and on each level, showing four clear seasons with different light and feelings.
