该房地产计划作为两所独立的房屋，连接着一个干式堆砌的石墙网络，在面向南方的建筑物的到达一侧形成了坚实的、私人的一面。墙把内外空间统一起来，把建筑编织在一起，形成了一系列的内外庭院空间。漂浮的屋顶定义了居住空间和广阔的玻璃窗，向北面的农业保护区开放。

The property was planned as two separate houses linked with a network of dry-stack stone walls that create a solid and private face at the southern-oriented arrival side of the buildings. The walls unify exterior and interior spaces and knit the buildings together resulting in a series of internal and external courtyard spaces. Floating roofs define living spaces and great expanses of glazing open toward views of the agricultural reserve to the north.

第一所房子有一个水槽，穿过庭院墙，标志着入口，入口通过一个超大的柜子穿过前院的幕墙。一条长长的画廊沿着其中一堵墙向东向西延伸，连接着公共和私人的两翼。一座玻璃桥穿过画廊，连接着高架客翼的两端。

The first house has a slot of water that cuts through the courtyard wall to mark the entry which is accessed through an oversized cabinet that pierces the forecourt curtain wall. A long gallery runs east-west along one of the walls and links the public and private wings. A glass bridge cuts across the gallery linking two ends of an elevated guest wing.

第二宫是在其最狭窄的一点进入，通过一个玻璃大厅俯瞰一个高高的花园庭院。一系列浮动屋顶将入口连接到内部和外部公共空间-所有这些都依附在石墙上。与之形成鲜明对比的是，私人机翼被定义为一个由橡木制成的紧绷箱，格鲁-林门门框被一片连续的百叶窗皮包裹。

The second house is entered at its narrowest point, through a glazed hall overlooking a raised garden court. A series of floating roofs connects the entry to the interior and exterior public spaces- all nestled against the stone walls. The private wing is defined in contrast, as a taut box of oak glu-lam portal frames wrapped in a continuous skin of louvers.
