架构师提供的文本描述。住宅设计的目的是确定和模糊房屋公共和私人区域之间的视觉阈值。房屋的透明度按其功能要求按升序递减。他们的表面清楚地表达了他们日常生活习惯和仪式的开放性。

Text description provided by the architects. The intention of the house’s design is to define and blur the visual threshold between the public and private areas of the house. The transparency of the house decreases in ascending order as per their functional requirements. Their surfaces clearly express their openness of the daily living habits and rituals.

边界墙介于内外之间。玻璃墙后面是一排竹子，用来遮阳。它是浮金网的前景，作为地面玻璃盒的背景，中间盒是房子的主要特征，在不同孔隙度的金网中被屏蔽。这个金色的网眼在第二层的私人玻璃区域上充当了一层薄薄的面纱。在晚上，屏幕溶解和揭幕在房子内的事件，当房子被点燃。阁楼被认为是一个不透明的盒子，包覆铝板，创造整体的宁静感，但似乎并不沉重。

The boundary walls mediate between the inside and outside. Behind the glass wall is a row of bamboo for screening. It is the foreground for the floating golden mesh and serves as a backdrop for the glass box on the ground level.The middle box is the main feature of the house, screened in varying porosity of golden mesh. This golden mesh acts as a light veil over the private glassed areas of the second story. During the night, the screen dissolves and unveils the events within the house when the house is lit. The attic is conceived as being an opaque box clad in aluminum panels that create monolithic sense of tranquility and yet not appearing to be heavy.

业主希望利用地板的每一个表面，并具有适应未来不同用途的灵活性。这就需要重新思考划分和访问空间。

The owner wanted to utilize every surface of a floor plate as well as having the flexibility of adapting to different uses in future. This calls for a rethinking of compartmentalization and access spaces.

生活/用餐/家庭空间都被合并成一个大的开放空间。将墙壁缩小，使空间隔开，可使空间具有灵活性。没有走廊，通道被拓宽成一个可用的空间。房间之间的隔墙允许改变用途。

The living/dining/family spaces are all combined into a large open space. The reduction of the walls to compartmentalize the spaces allows for flexibility. There are no corridors; the passageways are widened to become a usable space. The partition walls between rooms allow for change of use.

空间的结构清晰直接，楼梯作为空间中的特征对象，双体空间连接堆叠板。堆叠在一起的盒子是对功能需求的一种解决方案，也不可避免地是建筑形式的表达。

The configuration of the spaces are clear and direct, having the staircases as feature objects in space and a double volume space to connect the stacked plates. The boxes stacked on each other being a solution to the functional requirements is also inevitably the expression of the building form.
