设计的目标是以一致的现代建筑语汇创造一个家庭住宅，同时借鉴具有识别性的历史语言。在最初就产生了将体量打碎分解成组群的方式，作为一种在场地中恰当的处理方式。

因此，该建筑采用设置在基座上的三个类似于谷仓的结构的形式，体块间彼此错动，强化体块的消解。

与三座山脉相呼应，三座坡屋顶产生了一种独特的轮廓，精致而现代，同时与附近的乡土建筑结构息息相关。

John Pawson / 英国建筑及空间设计大师

John Pawson，大英帝国司令勋章（CBE）获得者，四十余年始终致力于创作严谨简约的建筑作品，这些作品虽以基础元素为核心，却又不失谦逊之态。他的作品涵盖多种规模和类型的建筑，包括私人住宅、宗教建筑、画廊、博物馆、酒店、芭蕾舞布景、游艇内部装饰，以及一座横跨湖泊的桥梁。

John Pawson CBE has spent over forty years making rigorously simple architecture that speaks of the fundamentals but is also modest in character. His body of work spans a broad range of scales and typologies, from private houses, sacred commissions, galleries, museums, hotels, ballet sets, yacht interiors and a bridge across a lake.

正如Alvar Aalto的青铜门把手被形容为“建筑的握手”，通过视觉所见或双手所触来感知空间哲学的精髓，亦是Pawson作品中的一个决定性特征。他的方法是，将建筑和设计委托任务以完全相同的方式处理，其基础便是“一切皆建筑”。

As Alvar Aalto’s bronze door handle has been characterised as the ‘handshake of a building’, so a sense of engaging with the essence of a philosophy of space through everything the eye sees or the hand touches is a defining aspect of Pawson’s work. His method is to approach buildings and design commissions in precisely the same manner, on the basis that ‘it’s all architecture’.

无论是修道院、住宅、炖锅还是芭蕾舞，一切都可以追溯到对体量、容积、表面、比例、连接、几何、重复、光线和仪式这一系列持续关注上。通过这种方式，即便是像叉子这样不起眼的东西，也能成为我们生活方式和价值观念等更广泛思想的载体。

Whether at the scale of a monastery, a house, a saucepan or a ballet, everything is traceable back to a consistent set of preoccupations with mass, volume, surface, proportion, junction, geometry, repetition, light and ritual. In this way, even something as modest as a fork can become a vehicle for much broader ideas about how we live and what we value.
