架构师提供的文本描述。整体设计理念是基于由空间单元组成的砖箱原理。由大厅的存在决定的垂直楼梯的位置确定了以开放的水平走廊为特征的布局类型。

Text description provided by the architects. The overall design concept was based on the box-of-bricks principle consisting of spatial units. The position of the vertical staircase dictated by the hall’s presence defines the layout type featuring an open horizontal corridor. 

在层层楼板之间夹着“体积”，其大小与公寓单位相对应。

There are sandwiched ´volumes´ between the layers of floor slabs, by their size corresponding with apartment units.

在必须使质量体积与邻近建筑物不那么密集、必须让更多的自然光线和空气进入的地方，必须创造一个允许人与人之间接触的非传统开放空间，砖块就被排除在外。

There where the mass volume must be made less dense conforming it to the neighbouring buildings, where more natural light and air must be let in, where an untraditional open space must be created allowing contact between people, the bricks are left out.

由于顶层的单位都是大阁楼，单位的主体在整个构图上扩大了两层。

As the flats on the top level are maisonettes, the body of the unit expands two storeys up crowning the whole composition. 

这些公寓大多是最小尺寸，允许横向通风；由于它们向南的方向和慷慨的玻璃，这些公寓享有充足的自然光和阳光。

The flats are mostly of minimum size allowing lateral ventilation; due to their orientation to the south and generous glazing the flats enjoy plenty of natural light and sun.

底层半透明的玻璃立面对凹式健身房和其他街景都是一样的。

The ground-floor translucent glass façade is the same for both the recessed gym and the rest of the streetscape.

该设计基于廉价的材料和精确的工艺细节：三明治信封覆盖玻璃纤维混凝土面板，镀锌钢，模塑玻璃块，木材窗框。

The design is based on cheap materials with precise workmanship of details: the sandwich envelope covered by glass fibre concrete panels, galvanised steel, moulded glass blocks, timber window frames.
