House Be是一个在自然中居住的实验，也是一个中心主题。混凝土、木材和砖的有节奏的结构与修复后的景观的轻浮形成对比。与19世纪艺术中的浪漫主义主题相似，试图在崇高的自然景观和人类存在之间创造一种敏感的张力。
House Be is an experiment in dwelling in and amongst nature is the central theme. A rhythmic structure in concrete, wood, and brick contrasts with the frivolity of the restored landscape. In a similar way to the Romantic motif from the 19th-century arts, an attempt was made to create a sensitive tension between a sublime natural landscape and the human presence in it.
房子的结构由清水混凝土组成，用木板遮挡。骨料、水泥、沙子、水和添加剂的比例都是经过精心调配、称量和测试的。其结果是，混凝土骨架具有粗糙的同时也是柔软的外观。该结构充满了大玻璃表面和外墙砖块。
The structure of the house consists of fair-faced concrete, shuttered with wooden planks. The proportions of aggregates, cement, sand, water, and additives were carefully composed, weighed, and tested. The result is a concrete skeleton with a rough and at the same time soft appearance. The structure is filled with large glass surfaces and facade brickwork.
砖块是定制的，并在一个真实的环形烤炉中熏制。外墙看起来自然而微妙，砖块的浅灰色调与混凝土结构相匹配。窗户的开口被细长的窗框框住，提供了令人印象深刻的景观。屋顶上长满了草本花卉和植物，花园延伸到建筑结构中。
The bricks were custom-made and smothered in an authentic ring oven. The façades look natural and nuanced, and the light-grey tone of the bricks matches the concrete structure. The window openings are framed by slender window profiles and offer impressive views of the landscape. The roofs are overgrown with herbaceous flowers and plants, and the garden extends into the building structure.
房子在三个层面上自我发展：地下室、底层和一楼。该组织被设想为一个带有分支的中央主干。主干从带有私人庭院的入口区涌出，形成了公共和私人之间的柔和过渡。在房子里面，路线的主干经过厨房和客厅，通向花园房间。通往另一层的工作间和夜总会的路线偏离了中轴线，从而将私人生活分开。
The house develops itself on three levels: basement, ground floor, and first floor. The organization is conceived as a central trunk with branches. The trunk springs from the entrance zone with a private courtyard, which forms a soft transition between public and private. Inside the house, the trunk of the route leads past the kitchen and living room to the garden room. The route to the workrooms and the night hall on the other floor deflects from the central axis, thus keeping private life separate.
当沿着中轴线行走时，景观的视野逐渐开阔，最终到达花园房间，它被布置成一个当代 “Wunderkammer”。可以把它想象成一个艺术柜，就像那些在政要和自由思想家的旧宅中可以找到的那样，在那里，最非凡的艺术和自然物品被汇集在一起并展示出来。室内由各种建筑元素和个人物品组成，一张实木桌子，一个漂浮的混凝土壁炉，一个黄铜灯艺术品，以及热带植物。在花园房间的旁边，布置了一个小型的观赏花园，里面有鲜花和玫瑰花丛，在夏季盛开。
When walking along the central axis, the view of the landscape gradually opens up, culminating in the garden room, which has been furnished as a contemporary “Wunderkammer”. Think of it as an art cabinet like those that can be found in the old mansions of dignitaries and freethinkers, where the most extraordinary art and nature objects were brought together and displayed. The interior is composed of various architectural elements and personal objects, a solid wood table, a floating concrete fireplace, a brass light artwork, and tropical plants. Next to the garden room, a small ornamental garden was laid out with flowers and rose bushes that are in full bloom during the summer months.
房屋的内部装修由天然材料组成，如橡木、石灰石和软体材料。这些材料以一种粗糙但精致的方式被应用。橡木细木家具和天然石材地板都是经过刷洗的，给人一种特殊的触感。每个房间都配备了适当的家具、物品和建筑照明，以及站立和悬挂的植物，这样，绿色植物也被带入屋内。住户们可以在日常生活中寻找自然或隐居，并知道他们受到住宅的保护。
The interior finishing of the house consists of natural materials such as oak, limestone, and upholstery. The materials have been applied in a rough but refined way. The oak joinery and natural stone floors are brushed and give a special tactility. Each room is furnished with appropriate furniture, objects, and architectural lighting, as well as with standing and hanging plants so that the greenery is also brought into the house. The residents can go about their daily lives in search of nature or retreat and know that they are protected by their homes.
