这个房子代表了当代台湾的一个缩影。我们的客户为他的男性朋友、女性同事和父母设想了一个家。 他要求我们的设计既要承认他的生活方式，又要照顾到他的工作关系和尊重传统的家庭义务。
This house represents a microcosm of contemporary Taiwan. Our client envisions a home for his male friends, female co-workers, and parents. He has requested a design that acknowledges his lifestyle while accommodating his work relationships and honoring traditional familial obligations.
这给我们的房屋设计带来了极为吸引人和复杂的问题组合。它将社区和跨代生活与隐私和性别问题形成对比。这类似于被称为台湾的现代性和传统的大熔炉。
This throws an extremely engaging and complex mix of issues into the design of our house. It contrasts communal and cross-generational living with issues of privacy and gender. This resembles the melting pot of modernity and tradition that has come to be known as Taiwan.
这座房子被分成了三个基本的体量。体积的相互作用响应了整个场地，包括房子、南边的花园区和北边的有机农场。
The house is separated into three elemental volumes. The interplay of the volumes responds to the entirety of the site consisting of the house, a garden precinct to the south, and an organic farm to the north.
坐落在一个平面上，每个体量都回应了客户项目的一个特定方面；三层楼的体量是为他自己和另外两个室友保留的；两个同事占据了两层楼的体量，而他的父母则住在单层的体量里作为周末度假。
Situated on a flat plane, each volume responds to a particular aspect of the client’s program; the three-story volume is reserved for himself and two other house-mates; two co-workers occupy the two-story volume while his parents live in the single volume as a weekend retreat.
体积之间的空隙被设想为院子。中国传统的四合院强化了等级森严的异性家庭结构，而这里的院子既分离又连接了不同的家庭成员。
The void spaces between the volumes are conceived as courtyards. Whereas traditional Chinese courtyard houses reinforce a hierarchical and heterosexual family structure, the courtyards here both separate as well as connect the different family members.
它们是室内视觉和空间的延伸，在空隙和实体之间形成一种切分的节奏。室内是一个开放和洞穴的对比。 三层楼高的生活空间与一系列自我封闭的图书馆和展示空间相连。颜色和材料的调色板包括白色油漆处理的墙壁和整个公共空间的白色水磨石地板。
They are visual and spatial extensions from the interior, forming a syncopated rhythm between voids and solids. The interior is a contrast between the open and the cavernous. Double-height living space in the three-story volume is connected to a series of self-enclosed library and display spaces. The color and material palette consist of white paint-finished walls and white terrazzo flooring throughout the public spaces.
