当自然从石头的缝隙中渗出，或者当一个人心灵的伤口绽放出新的、未曾预料到的喜悦和平静，一个无名的空房间成为一个避难所，一个小宇宙，一个人的灵魂可以真正休息。位于士嘉堡悬崖附近，安大略湖的全景地平线，Out(side)In House提供了一个空洞，引导居民看到内在的地平线，暗示着生命的更深层意义。
As nature seeps through a crack of a stone, or as a wound of one’s heart blooms a new, unforeseen joy and peace, a nameless empty room becomes a sanctuary, a small universe, where one’s soul can truly rest. Located near Scarborough Bluffs, the panoramic horizon of Lake Ontario, Out(side)In House offers a void that leads the inhabitants to see the inner horizon, suggesting life in its deeper meaning.
这座房子在中心被缩进地分成两个体量，它们被拉开并洗牌，使破损的地方面向外面，外墙面向中央的空隙。在这个双高的中庭里，自然光通过一系列阶梯式的透明层从天而降，面向南方（面向湖）和北方。
The house is broken indentedly at its center into two volumes, which are pulled apart and shuffled so that the breakages face the outside and the exterior walls face the central void. In this double-height atrium, natural light falls from the sky through a series of stepped clearstories, oriented to the south (towards the lake) and north.
在南端矗立着炉灶或壁炉，有一个下沉的地面作为聚会场所；在北端，一个三层高的光轴从天窗一直延伸到地下室，那里的一个大花盆暗示着生长高大树木的可能性。在东西方向的房间之间循环，即 “实用 “的方向，人们总是被中庭的高台和二楼的吊桥打断，进入吊桥后，人们会遇到一个暂停的时刻，并被重新定位到南北方向，即 “诗意 “的方向。
At the southern end stands the hearth or the fireplace with a sunken ground as the gathering place; at the northern end a triple-height light shaft travels from the skylight all the way down to the basement, where a large planter suggests the possibility of a tall tree growing. Circulating east-west between rooms, the direction of “utility”, one is always abrupted by a raised platform of the atrium and the suspended bridge on the second floor, entering which one meets a moment of pause and is reoriented to south-north, the direction of “poetry”.
在砖和瓦的装饰下，人的脚和手的硬度，以及粗糙的颗粒捕捉到太阳的光线，唤起了一种外部的感觉，就像在两个不同的建筑之间。就像在一个避难所里，中庭消除了对外界的记忆，再次提供了一个子宫，滋养着人的身体、思想和灵魂。如果说中庭是主要的圣所，那么蚕茧就是一个侧面的小教堂。蚕茧位于二楼，穿过中庭的桥，在长长的走廊尽头，毗邻主卧室–离入口最远的地方–是一个黑暗、安静、狭小的封闭空间，人们可以真正独处。
Finished in bricks and tiles, the hardness on one’s foot and hand, as well as rough grains catching the rays of the sun, evokes a sense of exteriority, as if between two distinct buildings. Like in a sanctuary, the atrium erases the memory of the outside world and offers a womb once more, nurturing one’s body, mind, and soul. If the atrium was the main sanctuary, the cocoon is a side chapel. Located on the second floor, across the bridge over the atrium, at the end of the long corridor, adjacent to the master bedroom—the farthest place from the entry—the cocoon is a dark, quiet, small confined space where one can truly be alone.
在房间的中心，一个小天窗发出非常克制的照明，而位于一个角落的小窗户位于坐着的眼睛的位置，是与外部世界的唯一联系。房间的所有表面都覆盖着织物，地板、天花板和墙壁之间没有任何区别，在视觉、触觉和听觉上都是超现实的，外界的噪音几乎完全被它的柔软度所吸收。能够真正地与自己独处，这个空间成为一个人身体的延伸，在人的脑海中无边无际。
At the center of the room, a small skylight gives out a very restrained illumination, and a small window, located at one corner at the sitting eye level, is the only connection to the outside world. Covered in fabric on all surfaces, with no distinction between floor, ceiling, and walls, the room is surreal visually, tactilely, and acoustically, with outside noise almost entirely absorbed in its softness. Being able to be truly alone with oneself, the space becomes an extension of one’s body, boundless in one’s mind.
从外面看，显示出凹陷断裂的外墙让人联想到曾经是一个人的起源和里面干净的直角空隙。在定义什么是 “房子 “时，”外面 “的 “房子 “挑战规范，在其空间的空虚中，它被杂乱无章的功利性程序所包围，质疑 “房子 “和生活的目的是什么。
From the outside, the façade showing the indented breakages is reminiscent of the origin of being once one and of the clean rectilinear void inside. In defining what House is, Out(side)In House challenges the norm, in which it is cluttered with utilitarian programs, questioning what the purpose of House and living is, in the emptiness of its space.
