The clients had a very clear vision of how they wanted to live in their future home. They dreamed of a compact volume, preferably with a rectangular ground plan. Their wish list also included a central fireplace, a hub around which family life is centred. This was the brief the architects at JUMA went to work on, with particular enthusiasm for the idea of positioning the fire at the centre of the house. Not in the least because this principle was often applied in the past by JUMAs great example and source of inspiration, architect Frank Lloyd Wright. An intense design process resulted in a layout with a lounge, a dining room and a kitchen organized in a fan-like manner around the cosy fireplace. All these rooms are neatly positioned within the proposed rectangular floor plan without, however, ever becoming boring. The concatenation of the various functions is developed on different height levels and makes for an exciting living experience.
客户对他们想要如何生活在他们未来的家有一个非常清晰的愿景。他们梦想有一个紧凑的体积，最好有一个矩形的地面计划。他们的愿望清单还包括一个中央壁炉，一个以家庭生活为中心的中心。这就是朱玛的建筑师们所做的简报，他们特别热衷于把火放在房子中央的想法。这并不是因为这一原则在过去经常被Juma的伟大榜样和灵感来源，建筑师弗兰克劳埃德赖特应用。一个紧张的设计过程导致了一个布局与休息室，餐厅和厨房以扇形的方式安排在舒适的壁炉周围。所有这些房间都被整齐地安置在提议的矩形平面图内，但从来没有变得枯燥乏味。各种功能的串联是在不同的高度上发展起来的，并使人们有了令人兴奋的生活体验。

The living space, for instance, is situated in a lowered sitting pit to generate an intimate feel, while the breakfast nook connects with the hallway on the first floor via an open landing. The entrance, the bathroom, cloakroom and stairs are oriented to the north and located at the level of the façade which is more closed in character. One large framed window section forms a break in the closed façade, bringing an abundance of morning light into the breakfast nook. The prominent window section accentuates the presence of the open landing. The living areas and bedrooms have been oriented toward the southwest to enjoy plenty of sunlight and maximize the views. The rear elevation reflects this philosophy and has been entirely opened up.
例如，生活空间位于降低的坐坑中以产生紧密的感觉，而早餐Nook经由开放的平台与第一楼层的走廊连接。入口、浴室、房间和楼梯都面向北方，位于Faherade的高度，它的特点是更多的封闭。一个大的框架窗户部分在封闭的Fahlade中形成了一个裂口，使早晨的光线充足地进入了早餐角落。突出的窗口部分加重了开放着陆的存在。生活区和卧室朝向西南方向，享受充足的阳光，最大限度地欣赏美景。后立面反映了这一理念，完全打开了。
