架构师提供的文本描述。鸡舍的概念来自于顾客的要求。他们是一对渴望搬到乡下去的老年夫妇。他们想在花园里养几只鸡，这样他们就可以照顾它们，喂它们，每天看着它们，以此来清理它们的心灵。他们期待着他们的子女和孙辈们能够经常来看望他们，并在他们留下的时候给他们提供玩耍的空间。

Text description provided by the architects. The idea of the Chicken’s House comes from the customer request. They are an aged couple who longing to move to the countryside. They want to raise some chickens in the garden so that they can take care of them, feed them and watch them every day as a way to clear their mind. They look forward to their children and grandchildren could come and visit them often and have space for them to play around when they stay.

设计组不想把鸡关在小笼子里。鸡也需要自由的空间，空气，一个饮水，产卵和孵化的地方。有时，他们挖土，吃一些树叶或互相追逐。设计团队希望给他们一个大而安全的空间，为鸡和鸭形成一个微型的社会社区。

The design team does not want to imprison the chickens in small cages. The chickens also need free space, air, a place to drink water, lay and hatch eggs. Sometimes, they dig the soil, eat some leaves or chase each other. The design team wants to give them a large and safe space to form a miniature social community for chickens and ducks.

用金属烤架和壁板做这只鸡的房子。大小为2mx10mx2m，适合儿童玩耍。金属烤架的环绕限制了鸡的安全空间，却带来了无限的视野和内外的连接。

根据鸡的生活习惯，它们经常在黑暗中爬得很高。为了为他们创建更多的活动，团队创建了额外的垂直轴。箱子被挂起来，用轻巧的楼梯连接起来，盒子下面的空间和天篷结合在一起，以避免阳光照射。

Basing on the chickens living habit, they often go up high in the dark. To create more activities for them, the team creates additional vertical axis. The boxes are hung up and connected by lightweight stairs, the space below those boxes combined with the canopy to avoid sunlight.

在鸡笼周围，主人会种植蔬菜和丝瓜，它们可以爬上屋顶，盖住屋顶，为鸡舍制造阴影。在清洗鸡笼时，所有的水和鸡粪都会排到花园的两侧，灌溉蔬菜。

Around the cages, the owner will grow vegetables and luffa which can climb up and cover the roof to create the shadow for the chicken coop. In term of cleaning the coop, all water and chicken waste will drain to the sides of the garden to irrigate vegetables.

设计这个鸡舍实际上是为了给孩子们创造乐趣和灵感。这个团队想到了大城市里的小孩子，他们成长在一个成年人生活迅速、总是忙碌的社会中。孩子们只知道学校，学习和游戏。

Designing this chicken house actually aims to create fun and inspiration for the kids. The team thinks of the little kids in the big cities, they are growing up in a society where adults live fast and always busy. The kids only know about school, studying and games.

当我们完成鸡舍的时候，我们意识到有时候人类也需要放松，才能像鸡一样拥有自由，简单的事物使生活更加美好和可爱。

When we finished the chicken house, we realized that sometimes humans also need to relax in order to have the freedom as chickens.  The simple things make life more beautiful and lovely.
