架构师提供的文本描述。坐落在一个面向森林保护区的34度陡峭的斜坡上，比兰达的房子是一次“结交朋友”的练习，而不是“征服”地形。其出发点是确定住房运作所需的最低限度的平地。我们为挡土墙划了一条线，包括一个平坦的停车区、一个相邻的大门和街道上的厨房。挡土墙将场地平分，作为总体规划的基准。我们的客户所需要的空间都集中在三个与基准面墙有不同关系的展馆中；第一个展馆完全“在地面上”，在平坦的土地上；第二个展馆一半在地面上，一半悬挂在高耸的斜坡上；最后，第三个展馆完全悬停在路堤上的斜坡上，通过一座玻璃护套的桥梁进入。

Text description provided by the architects. Sited on a dramatic 34-degree slope facing a forest reserve, the Be-landa house was an exercise in “befriending” rather than “conquering” the terrain. The starting point was to establish the minimum amount of flat land required for the house to be functional. We drew a line for the retaining wall to include a flat area for parking the cars, an adjoining main entrance, and the kitchen at the street level. The retaining wall bisected the site acted as a datum for the master planning. All spaces required by our Clients were massed into three Pavilions with varying relationships to the datum wall; the 1st Pavilion is entirely “on the ground” within the flat land area; the 2nd Pavilion is half on the ground, and half hanging over the slope on stilts; and finally the 3rd Pavilion is entirely hovering over the slope on pilotis, accessed via a glass-sheathed bridge.
