两个人的家加上一条狗。房子本身是由三个大小不一的外壳组成，相互嵌套。最外层的外壳覆盖了整个房舍，创造了一个有盖的半室内花园。第二个外壳在有顶的室外空间内围出一个有限的空间。第三层外壳创造了一个较小的室内空间。居民们在这个分级的领域内建立他们的生活。

A home for two plus a dog. The house itself is comprised of three shells of progressive size nested inside one another. The outermost shell covers the entire premises, creating a covered, semi-indoor garden. Second shell encloses a limited space inside the covered outdoor space. Third shell creates a smaller interior space. Residents build their life inside this gradation of domain.

我一直对街道和房屋被一堵墙隔开感到怀疑，并想知道，伴随着街道和房屋之间各种距离感的丰富领域的分级可能是一种可能性，例如：房子里面有一个相当靠近街道的地方；一个离街道有点远的地方，以及一个远离街道的地方，在安全的隐私中。

I have always had doubts about streets and houses being separated by a single wall, and wondered that a gradation of rich domain accompanied by various senses of distance between streets and houses might be a possibility, such as: a place inside the house that is fairly near the street; a place that is a bit far from the street, and a place far off the street, in secure privacy.

这就是为什么在这所房子里的生活类似于生活在云端。除了领域的逐渐变化，无处可寻的明显边界。可以说，一个理想的建筑是一个感觉像室内的室外空间和一个感觉像室外的室内空间。在一个嵌套结构中，内部无一例外地是外部，反之亦然。我的意图是做一个不关乎空间也不关乎形式的建筑，而只是为了表达 “房屋和街道之间 “的财富。

That is why life in this house resembles to living among the clouds. A distinct boundary is nowhere to be found, except for a gradual change in the domain. One might say that an ideal architecture is an outdoor space that feels like the indoors and an indoor space that feels like the outdoors. In a nested structure, the inside is invariably the outside, and vice versa. My intention was to make an architecture that is not about space nor about form, but simply about expressing the riches of what are `between` houses and streets.

三个嵌套的外壳最终意味着无限的嵌套，因为整个世界是由无限的嵌套组成的。而这里只有其中三个被赋予了勉强可见的形状。我想象，城市和房子在本质上没有什么不同，只是对一个单一主体的连续体的不同做法，或者说对同一事物的不同表达–人类居住的原始空间的起伏。

Three nested shells eventually mean infinite nesting because the whole world is made up of infinite nesting. And here are only three of them that are given barely visible shape. I imagined that the city and the house are no different from one another in the essence, but are just different approaches to a continuum of a single subject, or different expressions of the same thing- an undulation of a primordial space where humans dwell.

这是一个终极房屋的呈现，从世界的起源到具体的房屋，一切都在一个单一的方法下共同构思。

This is a presentation of an ultimate house in which everything from the origins of the world to a specific house is conceived together under a single method.
