当AG Vespa要求我们设计一个新的联排别墅作为 “启动者之家 “时，我们决定从字面上考虑，把房子作为一个出发点。一个简单的房子，作为第一步，以最经济和严格的方式满足主要需求。但与主屋一起，预计到增长和预算的增加，我们也设计了一系列补充性的附加物。
When asked to design a new townhouse as a ‘starters home’ by AG Vespa, we decided to literally think of the house as a starting point: A Simple House, as a first step to fulfill the principal demand in the most economic and rigid way. But together with the main house, anticipating growth and rising budgets, we also designed a series of complementary add-ons.
我们没有让步于一系列比利时式的 “临时 “扩展，而是创造了一套 “附加物”：看似独立的建筑物体提供不同的空间质量和附属功能。可有可无却又必不可少，就像你的冷冻酸奶上的巧克力洒。
Rather than giving way to a series of Belgian-style ‘ad hoc’ extensions, we created a set of ‘toppings’: seemingly independent architectural objects providing different spatial qualities and accessory functionality. Dispensable yet essential, just like the chocolate sprinkles on your frozen yogurt.
这座独栋别墅使用CLT（交叉层压木材）建造，这些木材被保留下来，使房间具有独特的内部质量。合理的地面规划在每一层都是一样的：一个中央楼梯与两个相邻的空间。结果是一系列的房间能够 “容纳 “生活中特定阶段的任何需要。
The single-family house is constructed using CLT (cross-laminated timber) that is left visible to give the rooms their distinct interior quality. The rational ground plan is the same on every floor: a central staircase with two adjacent spaces. The result is a series of rooms able to ‘house’ whatever is needed in that particular phase of life.
正面的特点是一个蓝色瓷砖的高基座，使房子在街道上有一个特异的外观，但又不失其与邻居的水平衔接。这种清晰的形象随后被复制到了后侧。通过创造两个相同的外墙，充分利用这种临时状态，从而强调平面的对称性和房屋的明显简单性。
The front facade is characterised by a high plinth in blue tiling, giving the house an idiosyncratic appearance in the street that non the less pursues the horizontal articulations of its neighbours. This clear-cut image was then copied at the rear side. Making the best of this temporary state by creating two identical facades and thus emphasizing symmetry in the plan and the apparent simplicity of the house.
