我遇到一个和我做同样工作的客户。甚至持有相同的工作头衔。在与家人的第一次客户会议上，我可以看出他的工作是多么的专业。他炫耀他的棒球装备，于是我带他到停车场，弹出我的后备箱，展示我的。我们两个人都是我们社区棒球联赛的捕手。当你发现有人和你有同样的爱好时，这让你聊得很开心。而且还能帮助你了解某人的个性和生活方式。他的妻子也是一个棒球迷。他们的小女儿为他们加油。唯一的问题是，他们支持不同的棒球队。

I met a client who does the same job as me. Even holding the same job title. At the first client meeting with the family, I could tell how professional he is in his job. He showed off his baseball equipment so I took him out to the parking lot and popped my trunk and showed mine. Both of us are catchers in our community baseball league. When you find out that someone shares the same hobby as you, it makes you talk a lot. And also it helps you to understand someone’s personality and lifestyle. His wife is a baseball fan, too. Their little daughter cheers them on. The only problem is that they support different baseball teams.

“当我和家人在一起时，我更喜欢自己。我希望这个房子充满了我们自己的回忆。我希望这个房子能显示出我们是谁。我希望这个房子能成为我孩子们的游乐场。我希望会有很多场合，我可以邀请我的朋友们回家欢笑，聊天，分享美味。我也期待着能在一个稍宽的、外面能看到的浴缸里洗澡的奢侈。我希望生活在一个立体的空间里，因为我的生活是平面的，所以更加宽敞。我相信，一个看似无用的空间可以成为一个创造力的仓库。而且我还相信，我认为被浪费的能量，最终会在某一天回到其他方面。”

“I like myself better when I’m with my family. I hope this house is filled with our own memories. I want this house to show who we are. I hope this house would be a playground for my children. I hope there will be a lot of occasions when I can invite my friends home to laugh, chat, and share delicious food. I am also looking forward to the luxury of taking a bath in a bathtub that is a little wide and visible outside. I want to live in a three-dimensional space that is more spacious because I’m living a flat life. I believe that a seemingly useless space can be a warehouse of creativity. And I also believe that the energy that I thought was wasted, will eventually come back to something else someday.”

“当我看着我的孩子时，有的时候我想问他们来自哪里。这就是我的孩子们每天给我带来的惊喜，让我发笑。我希望我的孩子能在我的梦想之家成长。
-我希望他们长大后能成为对艺术和体育感兴趣的孩子。与其说他们长大后是在这些领域有天赋的孩子，我希望他们长大后能享受这些东西。
-我希望他们长大后成为喜欢阅读的人，被书中的价值观和故事所感动。我希望他们在以书面形式表达自己的想法时不会有任何困难。

“When I look at my kids, there are times when I want to ask them where they’re from. That’s how much my children surprise me each day and make me laugh. I want my children to grow up in my dream house.
-I hope they grow up to be children who are interested in arts and sports. Rather than growing up as a child who is talented in those fields, I hope they will grow up enjoying these things.
-I hope they grow up to be people who like to read and be touched by the values and stories of books. I hope they will not have any difficulty when expressing their thoughts in writing.


-我希望他们能享受到游戏的刺激和酷感，知道通过体育合作和尽力而为的快乐。
-我希望他们能通过音乐获得力量，与他人分享他们的见解。
-我希望他们能在上升的道路上善待他人，与人为善。我希望他们在一生中也能被善良的人所包围”。

-I hope they can enjoy the thrill and coolness of the game knowing the joy of working together and doing their best through sports.
-I hope they can gain strength through music and share their insights with others.
-I hope they can be kind and nice to people on their way up. I wish they will also be surrounded by good people throughout their life.”

在他的第一封邮件来，那时我才明白为什么他家要建房子。这个地方被道路和公园所包围，位于一个住宅区的北侧。这是一个可以做院子的好地方。我的目标是通过他们居住的房子来展示他们是什么样的人。经过深思熟虑，我决定在院子里建一个小型的棒球场。院子的概念是一个棒球场，房子被设计成面向院子的俯视视角，仿佛给人一种从鸟瞰角度观看球场的感觉。

In his first email came, it was at that time that I understood why his family wanted to build a house. The site is surrounded by roads and parks on the north side of a residential district. It was a good place to make a yard. My goal was to show what kind of people they were through the house they lived in. After giving it much thought, I decided to build a small baseball stadium that could fit in the yard. The concept of the yard was a baseball stadium, and the house was designed to face the yard in an overlooking view as if giving the impression of viewing the stadium from a bird’s eye view.

儿童房的设计是突出和强调的，所以感觉像马车棒球场的贵宾休息室。我想让他们听到，这所房子就像你的家庭一样。接触到像我创造的体育场这样的广阔空间的孩子，会渴望并成长为能够看待和接受世界全貌的孩子。他们能以开放的心态思考，并考虑到未来的很多事情。在我看来，这是我能赐予他们孩子的最大礼物。因此，我很感激，也很满足，因为这是一次成功。

The children’s room was designed to be protruded and emphasized so that it felt like a VIP lounge at a wagon baseball stadium. I want them to hear that the house is just like your family. Children that were exposed to vast spaces like the stadium that I created will aspire and grow up to be children who can view and embrace the world’s whole picture. They can think with an open mind and take into consideration a lot of things in the future. In my point of view, this was the greatest gift that I can bestow to their children. And with that, I am thankful and contented that this was a success.
