安吉县山川镇川村位于杭州市主城区西北约60公里的位置和现状，海拔220米左右。它被群山环绕，在中部形成了一个盆地。有一条小溪穿过这个村庄，流水已经源源不断地流淌了好几年，有一千多亩肥沃的土地。村前有一条蜿蜒而窄的小径，其中一边是竹林，另一边是小溪。完成这条路后，景观将被拓宽。

Location and Status quo Situated to the northwest of Hangzhou’s main urban area with a distance of about 60 kilometers, Chuan Village of Shanchuan Town, Anji County has an altitude of around 220 meters. It is surrounded by mountains, which makes a basin form in the middle part. With a stream crossing through the village, the flowing water has been in no absence for years and there are over one thousand mu of fertile fields. Before the village lies a meandering narrow path, of which one side is a bamboo grove and the other is the stream. And the sights will be broadened after finishing the path.

我们根据现状提出了三个问题：第一，如何合理利用现实资源；第二，如何整合山水景观；第三，如何在建筑中引入乡村特色。

Limitations and Creations Three questions were raised by us according to the status quo: first, how to utilize the factual resources properly; second, how to integrate the scenery which contains mountains and waters; third, how to introduce the village characteristics into the building.

为了避免相互干扰，靠近住宅区的两边都受到限制，即在接近道路的墙壁上只能设置一个更大的窗户，高度只有1.3米以上。当一个人坐在房子里时，不会被道路的噪音所困扰，但是马路对面的风景还是可以欣赏的。

To avoid mutual interference, the sides close to the residential area are limited in the number of windows, that is, a bigger window can only be set over 1.3 meters high on the wall which approaches the road. When sitting in the house, a person will not be bothered by the noise of the road, but the scenery across the road can still be appreciated.

我们试图在一个大的空间里设置更多的屋顶窗户，这样可以最大限度地将风景引入房屋，并尽可能减少对周围房屋的干扰。

We tried to set more roof windows in a large space, which makes the most of the scenery be introduced into the house, and the interference to the houses around can be reduced as much as possible.

我们邀请村里的一些资深工匠介绍他们的想法。同时，利用当地的材料，收集村民留给房屋的红砖，利用当地的黄泥技术制作建筑表面。此外，门窗目前是由木匠制造的。由于使用当地的材料，这房子似乎是自然和简单的结合在一起的风景。

Some senior craftsmen of the village were invited by us to present their ideas. Also, we took the local material and collected the red bricks which were left by the villagers for the house building, and we made the building surface by using the local yellow-mud technique. In addition, the doors and windows were made by the carpenters at present. Because of the use of the local material, this house seems to be natural and simple with a combination with the scenery.

无装饰设计：屋顶窗户每两根柱子设置一次，除了照明外，还会引入更多的山景。作为这座乡村记忆屋的核心功能空间，它为人们提供了自然风光、传统技法与现代生活相结合的感觉。

Adorning-free Design A roof window was set every two pillars to introduce more mountain sights around except for lighting. As the core functional space for this village memory house, it offers people the feeling of combining the natural scenery, traditional techniques and modern life.

室内空间朴素自然，墙内外相同，地面用水泥擦亮，屋顶保持原木框架的美丽。装修还以木材为主，可将建筑与内部空间结合起来。

The internal space is plain and natural, whose walls are the same inside and outside, and the floor has been polished with cements, while the roof remains the beauty of the original wooden frame. The decoration also takes the wood in the main, which can integrate the building and the internal space.

低成本设计的尝试和挑战，建筑师将在现场工作，以帮助工匠弄清楚一些基本的美学，作为比例和规模在很长一段时间。由于水泥工人和木匠熟悉材料和建筑方法，项目进行得相当顺利，我们只用了不到三个月的时间就完成了这个项目并投入使用。

Low-cost Design Attempt and Challenges The architect will work on the scene to help the craftsmen figure out some basic aesthetics as the proportion and scale for much time. The project was going quite smoothly as the cement workers and carpenters were familiar with the material and building methods, and we only spent less than three months finishing the project and putting it into use.

结论与城市项目相比，创建农村项目更能让人感到放松和自然。自开馆以来，村民和游客逐渐参与了这座房子的活动。每一个节日都会有一个聚会，它也成为了一个供孩子们玩的地方。这样，乡村记忆之家不仅展现了传统，而且还传递了新的生命！

Conclusion Comparing with urban items, people would feel it more relaxing and natural to create rural items. The villagers and tourists have been gradually taking part in the activities of the house since its opening. There will be a party for every festival and it has also become a play land for children. Thus, the village memory house not only displays the tradition, but also delivers the new life!
