由于“房屋展望”的主题是未来的生活，我们开始想象一座房子将真正拥抱一种以新鲜空气、自然光、活植物和蓝天为定义的大自然，这些都是当今稀缺的商品，但却保持着家庭生活所需的隐私。

As the theme of House Vision is about future living, we begin to imagine a house that would truly embrace a nature that is defined by fresh air, natural light, living plants, and blue sky, which are all scarce commodities in present day, yet maintains the privacy required by domestic life.

在北京传统四合院概念的基础上，我们还以中庭的形式把一片自然带到了一个内向的住宅的中心；然而，在我们的四合院中，内部和外部空间之间的界限可以完全打开，庭院实际上就在房子里面，成为建筑的组成部分。

Built upon the notion of a traditional courtyard house of Beijing, we also bring a piece of nature to the center of an introvert dwelling in form of an atrium; however, in our version of a courtyard house, the boundaries between the interior and exterior spaces can be completely opened up thus the courtyard is literally inside the house and becomes an integral part of the architecture.

一个连续的生活空间环绕庭院，如果需要上升，可通过滑动隔板将其分成两个至四个房间，同时，所有必要的电子设备都被完全集成到建筑系统中，以在地下的两个计数器和设备的形式。

A continuous living space wraps around the courtyard and can be divided into two to four rooms by sliding partitions if such needs rise.  Meanwhile, all necessary electronics are totally integrated into the building system in form of two counters and equipment underground.

该结构系统由沿着建筑物外围的钢柱组成，在中央庭院周围具有悬臂式屋顶和屋檐。建筑内部和外部的所有表面上使用的材料，包括用于器具的外壳以及家具，是由再循环建筑碎片制成的3mm薄玻璃纤维增强混凝土（或钢筋混凝土）。它的厚度使这种材料非常轻，其孔隙率创造了一种生活环境，在允许光线通过的同时呼吸和过滤空气。

The structural system consists of steel columns along the periphery of the building with a cantilevered roof and eaves around the central courtyard. The material used on all surfaces inside and outside of the building, including the casings for the appliances as well as furniture, is a 3mm thin Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete (or GRC), made from recycled construction debris. Its thinness makes this material very lightweight and its porosity creates a living environment that breathes and filters the air while allowing light coming through.

我们命名建筑混凝土船，让参观者了解混凝土是如何演变为一种新物质，不再切断生命与自然之间的联系，相反，它有助于创造一个友好的界面。

We name the building Concrete Vessel to lead the exhibition visitors to discover how concrete has evolved into a new substance that will no longer cut off the connection between life and nature, rather on the contrary, it helps to create a friendly interface.
