架构师提供的文本描述。这是印度Uttarakhandd的一家小旅馆，位于阿尔莫拉镇附近的Kaser Devi村，海拔1600米。它以它所处的地区命名，“库马翁”是一个由山脉、山谷、森林和风景优美的湖泊组成的地区。进入网站是通过一个稍微陡峭的轨道向下，远离主干道。这条乡村道路在离工地约250米处停下来，剩下的路是经过一个狭窄的村庄，沿着小路走到工地上。此时，酒店工作人员会将您的行李和行李卸下，让您步行到酒店时感到非常愉快。你也可以选择用小马做短途旅行。

 First Floor Plan - Main Building

一楼图则-主楼

坡地是这一地区典型的农业用地的梯田，分为两部分，一小块半英亩的地块，我们用来安置服务设施的场地顶部，还有一片两英亩的地块，由一小片共同的陆地隔开。这片土地的特别之处在于，它有不间断的山谷景观和300公里之外的印度喜马拉雅山脉的壮丽景色。该方案包括10间客房、休息室和餐饮设施、图书馆、水疗中心和服务。我们决定成双成对地设计房间，一个在另一个顶上，然后把它们分散在不同的地方。这部分是为了减少大楼的大部分，也是为了减少发展的总体足迹。下面的小木屋是从附近采石而成的，而上面的小木屋墙是用粉煤灰砌成的，上面用竹竿包裹着，给人一种轻盈的感觉。

The sloping site is terraced which is typical of agricultural plots in this area and is in two parts a small half-acre plot at the top of the site which we used to situate the service facilities, and a two-acre plot, separated by small strip of common land.what is special about the land is that it has uninterrupted views of the valley below and majestic views of the Indian Himalayas 300 km away. The programme included 10 rooms, lounge and dining facilities, library, spa and services. We decided to design the rooms in pairs, one atop the other and scatter them across the site at different levels. This was partly to reduce the bulk of the building and also to reduce the overall footprint of the development. The lower chalet was built out of stone quarried from nearby, while the upper chalet walls were built out of fly ash bricks and cladded with bamboo sticks to give a sense of lightness.

 Ground Floor Plan - Main Building

底层图则-主楼

主楼位于工地的最高点，地面是休息室、图书馆、厕所和行政设施的主要入口，而一楼则有一个引人注目的钢悬臂式餐厅，轴线上的景色通向数百公里外的印度第二高峰-南达·德维(Nanda Devi)。休息室的屋顶成为户外就餐和瑜伽的露台。此外，餐厅的三面也用竹棒来减少庞大的钢结构的视觉冲击力。到达酒店的途径是从人行道穿过一个小大门，并有一个通往主休息室的走廊拱门，这是游客的第一个入口。一排竹子被用来遮挡小木屋的景色，遮住山景，增强了人们的期待感。

The main building was situated on the highest point in the site, the ground level is the main entry point which houses a lounge, library, and toilet and administrative facilities, while the first floor houses a dramatic steel cantilevered dining room, with an axis vista towards ‘nanda devi’ India's second highest peak, hundreds of kilometers away. The roof of the lounge becomes a terrace for outdoor dining and yoga. Further, the three sides of the dining room were also cladded with bamboo sticks to reduce the visual impact of the bulky steel structure. The approach to the hotel is through a small gate from the footpath, and a walkway arches towards the main lounge, the first entry point for the visitor. A row of planted bamboo trees is used to cover the view of the chalets beyond and obscure the mountain views heightening the sense of expectation.

当地的松木被广泛使用，从地板漆到门窗。甚至家具都是现场设计和制造的。当地的工匠们被用来为小木屋制作铜和石头配件。阿尔莫拉有着优良的编织传统，所有用于床上用品和家具的羊毛织物都是自定义设计并在当地生产的。整体的完成是一种简约的乡村风格，突出了当地的材料。混凝土防腐剂是没有抹灰的，飞灰墙也是如此，只在里面涂上一层油漆。在小木屋里，一张床、一张桌子和一张椅子被设计成一个独立的单元，并在光滑的水泥渲染中完成。厕所的墙壁是用“卡达帕”完成的-一块黑色的石头切成了瓷砖。

Local Pinewood was used extensively, from floor finish to doors and windows. Even the furniture was designed and made on site. The local craftsmen were used to make copper and stone accessories for the chalets. Almora has a fine tradition of weaving and all woollen fabric for bedding and furnishings were custom designed and produced locally. The overall finish is one of rustic simplicity, highlighting the local materials. The concrete soffits are kept unplastered, so are the fly ash walls finished with just a coat of paint inside. In the chalets, a bed, table and seat was designed as an island unit and was finished in smooth cement render. The toilet walls are finished in ‘kadappah’ a black stone cut into tiles.

露台和阳台是用“Kota”铺成的，这是一种很受欢迎的廉价的印度花岗岩，它的质地和感觉都是光滑的水泥。通过分散周围的建筑结构和竹子包层，我们能够化解像这样的建筑在敏感环境中可能产生的视觉影响。所有的结构都是为雨水收集而设计的，有一个排水系统将水输送到现场底部的一个大型储罐中。该酒店计划在露台和剩余空间种植季节性作物，使用该产品作为自己的厨房。总之，我们的尝试是突出惊人的自然景观，并集中在山景。同时向当地的材料、传统和文化致敬。

While the terraces and balconies were paved with ‘kota’ a popular and cheap Indian granite which has a texture and feel of smooth cement. By dispersing the built structure around the site and also by the bamboo cladding we were able to dissolve the visual impact a building such as this can have in a sensitive environment. All the structures were designed for rainwater harvesting, with a drain system taking the water to a large holding tank at the bottom of the site. The hotel plans to replant seasonal crops in the terraces and leftover spaces, using the product for its own kitchen. Overall our attempt was to highlight the stunning natural landscape and focus on the mountain views. While paying homage to local materials, tradition and culture.
