架构师提供的文本描述。在泰国曼谷，Sala运河之家坐落在一条古老的运河旁边，周围有一个花园，花园里种着各种各样的本地水果。离这个地方不远的地方，每天都有一个古老的水上市场开放，当地居民来这里买新鲜食品。你仍能感受到、闻到并体验到泰国传统的生活方式。

Text description provided by the architects. Sala Canal House is located alongside of an old canal surrounded by a garden with various local grown fruits in Bangkok, Thailand. Not far from this site, there is an old floating water market open daily, where the local residents come shopping for fresh food. You can still feel, smell, and experience the traditional Thai way of living around this area.

Sala(ศาลา)是一种泰语，意为“建筑或开放的展馆，用作会议和放松的场所”。在泰国的任何地方，比如学校，寺庙，古老的村庄，你都可以找到Sala。这座房子是用Sala的色调概念建造的。我们想要一个地方，让主人和他们的家人和朋友通过感受运河风来吸收当地的气氛，观察经过的传统船只，在平静的心情中聊天和放松。

Sala (ศาลา), is a Thai language which means, “building or open pavilion used as a meeting and relaxing place for people”. You can find Sala in any parts of Thailand such as, schools, temples, old villages.  This house was built with the concept of the shades of Sala. We wanted a place for the owner and their family and friends to absorb the local atmosphere by feeling the canal breeze, watching the traditional boats passing by, chatting and relaxing in a calm peaceful mind.

业主的主要要求是为两代人设计一套房子，但要为两家人保持隐私。我们在不同的层次上为每个家庭设计了一座建筑群，由一个露台连接。这两座建筑在视觉上看上去像是一座大房子，但实际上是分开的，而且绝对隐秘。所有的房间都有运河景观。一些功能和设施，如厨房，主阳台和游泳池是共享的两家人。

The main requirement from the owner was to design a house for two generations, but to maintain a privacy for both family. We have designed complex for each family on a different level, connected by a terrace.  The two structure looks like a one big house visually but actually are separate and have absolute seclusion.  All the rooms have the canal view. Some functions and facility such as the kitchen, main terrace and the swimming pool are shared by both families.

厨房区位于两个建筑群之间，在连接的平台下，就像一个Sala，是这个项目的关键区域。天花板是双层楼高和宽敞的设计。这两家人喜欢一起做饭，所以这里是一个聚会和交谈的地方，可以看到运河的景色。

The Kitchen area, which is in between the two complex and under the connecting terrace, acts like a Sala and is the key area for this project. The ceiling are double floor height and spaciously designed. The two family enjoys cooking together, so it functions as a place for gathering and having conversations with a view of the canal.

这座房子也是为了适应泰国热带潮湿的天气而建造的。通过将一楼抬起来，风可以像自然通风系统一样从多个方向很容易地流动。这就是泰国传统房屋在没有空调的情况下建造的方式。而且，我们放置了一个长悬臂遮阳，以保护过度的阳光，因为房子是朝南的，这通常是一个方向，在泰国的建筑，因为极端的高温。

This house is also made to adapt to the tropical humid weather of Thailand.  By lifting the first floor up, it allows wind to flow in from many directions easily like a natural ventilation system.   It is how the traditional Thai houses are made when there were no air-conditioning.  Also, we placed a long cantilever shading to protect the excessive sunlight since the house was facing south, which usually is a direction avoided in Thai buildings because of the extreme heat.

在材料方面，我们使用了一些简单的材料，如柚木、水泥和钢，在潮湿地区易于建造和维护。这是本地提供的，比进口的产品便宜。

As for the material, we used simple material such as teak wood and concreate and steel, which is easy to construct and maintain in the humid area. It is locally available and cheaper than imported products.
