这座房子坐落在一个大的起伏的生活区块上。
为了确定一个人类居住的区域，使其免受多变天气的影响，建筑被安排在一个庭院周围。
The house is sited on a large undulating lifestyle block.
In order to define a zone for human habitation that offers respite from the changeable weather the building has been ordered around a courtyard.
院子的三面是一系列相连的亭子，第四面是开放的。
这个开放的端点将居住者的注意力集中在一望无际的田园风光上。
The courtyard with its series of linked pavilions bounding it on 3 sides is open on the 4th.
This open end focuses the occupant’s attention on a sweeping bucolic scene.
亭子在院子一侧有一层滑动的雪松百叶窗，给后面的空间提供了可以随意调整的隐私。
一个轴向的元素刺穿了庭院。这个元素及其相关的屋顶和凸起的地面构成了到达时的入口和离开时与场地的正式联系。
The pavilions have a layer of sliding cedar shutters on the courtyard side which give the spaces behind privacy that can be playfully adjusted.
An axial element punctures the courtyard. This element with its associated roof and raised ground plane forms the entry on arrival and a formal connection with the site on exit.
