架构师提供的文本描述。上卫插件房屋是经过翻新的房子，有几百年的历史，空置了几十年，并成为废墟，因为上卫村遭受了沉重的投资损失。深圳附近的城市迅速扩张，吞没了像上卫这样的村庄，把它们变成了城市村庄，或者是被新开发海洋包围的农村岛屿。上卫市一半的房产被遗弃，因为村民们为了在邻近地区寻求更高的生活水平而逃离。

Text description provided by the architects. The Shangwei Plugin Houses are renovated houses that are hundreds of years old, left vacant and in ruins for decades as Shangwei Village suffered from heavy disinvestment. The rapid urban expansion of nearby Shenzhen engulfed villages like Shangwei, turning them into urban villages, or rural islands surrounded by a sea of new development. Half of the properties in Shangwei lay abandoned as villagers fled in search of higher standards of living in neighboring areas.

当地政府，上围村合作社，有兴趣探索创造性的方法，以恢复和支持一个正在萌芽的社区，当地艺术家和工匠，最近已经生根。政府在乐平基金会和未来加(当地非营利组织)的支持下，与人民建筑办公室合作开展了一项试点。

The local government, the Shangwei Village Cooperative, was interested in exploring creative ways to rehabilitate and support a budding community of local artists and craftsmen that has recently taken root. The government, with the support of the Leping Foundation and Future Plus (a local non-profit), initiated a pilot in partnership with People’s Architecture Office.

乡村政府在法律上有义务对屋顶倒塌的不适宜居住的房产进行翻修。然而，这些物业很难翻新，因为任何工程都会影响邻近的建筑物。为了解决这个问题，插件屋保留了原有的结构，而在现有的房子内建造了一个新的结构。

The village government is legally bound to renovate uninhabitable properties where the roofs have collapsed. However, such properties are difficult to renovate because any work would affect adjacent structures. To circumvent this problem, the Plugin House leaves the original structure untouched while a new structure is built inside the existing house.

PluginHouse使用预制面板的模块化建筑系统。将结构连接集成到每个面板中，以便在不到一天的情况下，可以使用一个工具在不熟练劳动力的基础上构建插件房屋。工业制造允许使用能显著提高能效和规模经济的高质量材料，以确保插件外壳保持便宜。

The Plugin House uses a modular building system of prefabricated panels. Structural connections are integrated into each panel so that a Plugin House can be built with unskilled labor using one tool in less than a day. Industrial manufacturing allows the use of high quality materials that drastically increase energy efficiency and economies of scale ensure the Plugin House remains inexpensive.

尽管插件面板是大量生产的，但每个插件都是定制的以适合其特定的站点。黄家插件房子坐落在一个很小的15平方米的空间里。由于原有屋顶的一部分仍保持不变，插件房屋插入作为结构加固件，并且作为对原始房屋可能具有的任何结构问题的保护措施。为了增加额外的空间，卧室被放置在夹层水平上，有一个角落窗户，悬臂越过倒塌的墙壁，提供村庄的全景。

Although the Plugin Panels are mass produced, each Plugin House is customized to fit its particular site. The Huang Family Plugin House fits into a tiny 15sqm space. Because part of the original roof still remains, the Plugin House insertion acts as structural reinforcement and as a protective measure against any structural issues the original house may have. To add additional space, the bedroom is placed on a mezzanine level with a corner window that cantilevers over a collapsed wall, offering a panoramic view of the village roofline.

天窗是放置在原来的屋顶已经倒塌，邀请自然光进入深地段。方家插件房面积为20平方米，略大一些。这所房子的特色是一扇牧师式的窗户，把南边的光线带到房子后面的卧室里。对于这两个地方，插件住宅系统通过增加高效的小型分隔单元来加热和冷却、现代化厨房和离网堆肥厕所系统来提高生活水平。

A skylight is placed where the original roof has collapsed, inviting natural light into the deep lot. The Fang Family Plugin House is slightly larger at 20sqm. The house features a clerestory window to bring southern light into the bedroom area at the rear of the house. For both locations, the Plugin House System raises living standards by adding efficient mini-split units for heating and cooling, modern kitchens, and off-the-grid composting toilet systems.
