架构师提供的文本描述。这是一个三层钢框架建筑住宅与工作室一对夫妇，他们都是作家。一楼主要用作他们的工作空间；二楼和三楼作为住所。

Text description provided by the architects. This is a three-story steel-frame construction residence with atelier for a couple, who are both writers. The first floor is used primarily as their work space; second and third floors as residence.

这个地区的土地几十年前就开始出售了，周围的许多房屋都是低矮的建筑，采用的是侧弯，颜色色调相似。我们意识到要使这座新的三层楼的房子的外观与环境相适应。

Land in this area went up for sale several decades ago, and many of the surrounding houses are low-rise buildings, adopting lateral coving for siding with similar color tone. We were conscious to make external appearance of this new three-story house fit into the environment.

这种方法给房子独特的表现，每一褶皱的阴影随着太阳的运动而变化。同样大小的窗户被放置在卧室和楼梯上，使楼层变得模糊不清，从而缓和了三层楼的喧嚣。

The method gives unique expression to the house with shadow of each fold changing along with the sun's movements. Same sized windows are placed in bedrooms and through stairways, making the floor levels ambiguous, thus moderating the voluminousness of three-story building.

二楼的开放式天花板部分，LDK和阳光来自楼梯窗户，即使家人在不同的楼层，也能给人一种团结一心的感觉。从三楼以上半层的阳台上，你可以放松地看着远处，而不用担心被监视。这所房子作为一个居住的地方和写作的工作场所都是完美的。

The open ceiling portion of the second floor LDK and sunlight coming from the stairway windows give the feeling of togetherness even when family members are on different floors. From the balcony, a half story above the third floor, you can relax looking far away, without worrying about being watched. This house is perfect as a place for living as well as a workplace for writing.
