现在，在绿色植物中，一片新的景观悄无声息地出现了。黑色房屋以巧克力棒的形式矗立在绿色的稻田中，虽然没有华丽的装饰，也没有引人注目的商业标志，但却是一座充满惊喜和奇迹的房子。

Now, amid the greenery a new landscape has unpretentiously arisen. Appearing as a chocolate bar standing amid the green paddy fields, the Black House, though without ostentatious decorations and an eye-catching commercial sign, is a house full of surprises and wonders.

以拥有优质生活的品牌形象为目标，“黑屋”是一个由一个家庭的三个兄弟姐妹和设计师陈宝琳(音译)实现的理念和理想。黑屋最初的概念是招待、聚会和品酒的场所。为了把她在时装设计方面的专长和她对咖啡的兴趣结合起来，黑屋的女主人和设计师陈宝琳合作，把原来的概念变成了一个新的品牌-“黑屋”。

With the aim to own its brand image of quality life, the Black House is an idea and ideal realized by three siblings of a family and a designer, Po-Lin Chen, affiliated with Chic Design Inc. The original concept of the Black House was a venue for hospitality, parties, and wine tasting. With the hope to combine her specialty in fashion design and her interest in coffee, the hostess of the Black House works with designer Po-Lin Chen and turn the original concept into a new brand --- the Black House.

由于有了三层楼高的结构，黑屋看起来就像一个谷仓，与周围的稻田很好地融合在一起。在前面，一个金属滑行门保护着房子的玻璃入口，这样房子在台风期间是安全的。一楼是一家咖啡厅，接待处，二楼和三楼是客房。咖啡厅和餐厅的客人使用不同的入口，以尊重所有客人的隐私。

With a three-story structure, the Black House appears as a barn that blends in well with the surrounding paddy fields. In the front, a metal gliding door guards the glass entrance of the house so that the house is safe during typhoons. On the first floor is a café and the house reception and on the second and the third floors are guest rooms. Guests of the café and those of the house use different entrances so that privacy of all guests is respected.

二楼和三楼的客房风格独特。二楼的客房设计得舒适、温馨，而三楼的客房则设计得古朴典雅。黑屋里所有的六间客房都有一个特定的主题。例如，书籍爱好者或品酒师肯定能找到属于他们的房间。

The guest rooms on the second and the third floors are of distinctive styles. The guest rooms on the second floor are designed to be comfy and homey, while those on the third floor are stylized with sophistication. All the six guest rooms in the Black House come in a particular theme. Book lovers or wine tasters, for example, can definitely find a room they belong to.

当然有供家庭使用的房间，特别是有孩子的家庭；它们也被称为“房子里的房子”。所有的房间都连接到二楼的一个公用房间。这间公共房间为所有入住的客人提供了一个大厅，让他们可以相互交流聊天，甚至一起享受他们的午夜小吃。

There are of course rooms for families, especially for families with children; they are also known as “house in the House”. All the rooms are connected to a common room on the second floor. This common room serves as a concourse for all staying guests so that they get to mingle and chat with each other and even enjoy their midnight snacks together.

其中一个房间特别引人注目，它真的让设计师陈宝琳感到骄傲。这间房可以算是一间小套房。这间小套房虽然是黑屋的一部分，但它本身就是一座豪华的小房子。这间小套房设计精巧，有自己的入口，有连接三层楼的楼梯，还有一个带游泳池的秘密花园。这间小套房特别适合那些寻求完全隐私的人。

One room is particularly remarkable and it really makes the designer, Po-Lin Chen, proud. This room can be considered a little suite. The little suite, though a part of the Black House, is a little luxurious house on its own right. With a delicate design, the little suite has its own entrance, a staircase that connects the three stories, and a secret garden with a swimming pool. This little suite is especially for those looking for complete privacy.
