架构师提供的文本描述。沙漠的形式，本土的材料，自然的光和山景启发了这个家。由夯土、金属、混凝土和玻璃组成的分层墙在自然沙漠环境中创造了一个有趣的有机形式集合，同时在视觉上阐明了其中的各种功能。

Text description provided by the architects. Desert form, indigenous materials, natural light and mountain views inspire this home. Layered walls of rammed-earth, metal, concrete and glass create a playful collection of organic forms within a natural desert setting while visually articulating the various functions within.

这座房子的标志性特征是它的浮顶篷，其底部由受当地地质和季风云形成启发的类似构造的形式组成。不仅仅是雕塑和保护不受元素的影响，这一天篷平衡了主人对宏伟和舒适的渴望，从室内居住空间的低谷开始，向180度的山景急剧上升。所有的照明和机械设备都被小心地隐藏在这个特征的裂缝中，允许形式和材料成为焦点。

The signature feature of this home is its floating roof canopy, the underside of which is comprised of tectonic-like forms inspired by local geology and monsoon cloud formations. More than just sculpture and protection from the elements, this canopy balances the owner’s desire for both grandeur and coziness, starting low within the interior living spaces and raising dramatically towards the 180 degree mountain view. All lighting and mechanical devises are carefully concealed within the fissures of this feature allowing the form and materials to be the focus.

自然光将这个家带入生活，通过精心设计的裂缝渗透进来，或反射出战略位置的水池，不断地改变着这个家的气氛。有时，水反射的光在地球和木头的破碎层面上舞蹈，而在其他时候，它提供了一种禅宗般的平静感。

Natural light brings this home to life, seeping in through carefully articulated crevices or reflecting off the strategically located pool, constantly transforming the mood of this home. At times water-reflected light dances across the fractured planes of earth and wood while at other times it provides a Zen-like sense of calm.
