玻璃，水泥，木头和金属材料作为基础元素与空间、结构和地点产生丰富的联系，当房屋具有沉重与轻巧，承重物与支持物之间相互影响对比的特点时，设计师很期待看到这座建筑最终会显现出什么效果。

Glass, concrete, wood, and metal serve as the basis for drawing rich associations between space, structure, material, and location. What emerges is a house distinguished by contrasting interplays between heavy and light, load and support.

整个建筑的水平结构恰如其分地嵌入在山坡的等高线上，这一结构使得建筑整体从室内到室外的过渡流畅自然。狭窄的挡土墙成为建筑和周围院子的边界，限定修整了整个庭院环境，并且这一结构设计使得人们可以明显感受到建筑所在的坡地地形。一组楼梯描绘出室内空间的流动感从入口到客厅、餐厅和厨房区域，恰好与室外下降的地形特点相互映衬。楼梯、壁橱和两个室外的承重剪力墙均由水泥浇筑，同样和房屋的整体结构也浇筑在一起连成一片，包裹着整个客厅区域，并作为基础支撑其上的木质结构。实木结构包含了四个在外的剪力墙和两个横隔墙，它们构成了其上的覆盖层，并作为卧室空间使用。整个木结构完全暴露在房屋室内，而在室外，设计师则用玻璃和金属材料覆盖在其表面作为应对天气的防御层。

The horizontal building structure is thoughtfully embedded into the contours of the hillside; the transition from the interior to the exterior is seamless and fluid. The narrow retaining walls bordering the residence and the enveloping yard give shape to a courtyard setting and preserve the palpable feel of the sloping terrain. A set of steps delineates the spatial flow of the interiors from entryway to the living, dining, and kitchen areas, picking up on the character of the descending outdoor terrain. The floor, fireplace, and two exterior load-bearing shear walls are made of concrete. A homogeneous structure, seemingly cast in one piece, encases the living room and serves as the foundation to the overlying wood construction.A solid wood construction consisting of four exterior sheer walls and two transverse walls forms the structure of the overlying story, where the bedrooms are located. The wood construction is left exposed to the interior, while glass and metal surfaces form a weather barrier on the exterior.

木质结构依靠两个垂直的水泥剪力墙，使得前后部分可以悬挑出来。交叉支撑的张拉钢条在东、西两面窗户上加强固定悬挑部分，同时一起支撑着两个木质剪力墙。底层的天花板完全被悬挂支撑在拉杆上，同时拉杆又依靠两个横向的钢屋顶横梁相互支撑。

The wood structure rests on two vertical concrete shear walls, cantilevering to the front and back. It is stabilized by way of cross-bracing steel tension bars on the east- and west-facing windows that hold the two wooden shear walls together. The ceiling on the ground floor is hung front to back by way of tension rods attached to the two transverse steel roof beams.

▼水泥结构与木质结构相互互锁，the concrete construction and the wood construction interlock

▼木质结构贯穿到底层空间，the wood construction runs through to the ground level

在底层的水泥结构和在上层的木质结构通过两个关键结构互锁在一起：底层横向的水泥墙与壁炉相互平衡支撑上层主卧和水泥浴室背面的墙体。另一方面通过楼梯，使得木质结构贯穿到底层空间。两个不同的建筑结构方式通过相互的支撑连接在一起。这种静态的平衡最终突显出一种空间的活力感和扩张感，产生出一种富有关联的建筑语汇。

The concrete construction on the ground level and the wood construction on the upper level interlock at two key junctions: the transverse concrete wall balanced over the fireplace forms the rear wall of the upstairs master bedroom and concrete bathtub; on the opposite side by the staircase, the wood construction runs through to the ground level. Two differing construction methods join in mutual dependency. What emerges is a static balancing act that unleashes an energetic, expansive sense of space and engenders an architectural language rich in associations.
