架构师提供的文本描述。位于阿利堡马哈拉施特拉邦的山麓，远离繁忙的孟买城市生活。这块地块是一块干燥、贫瘠的干涸的土地。当我第一次看到它的时候，有两棵孤零零的树，远处的山丘和干燥的田野，一直延伸到天空，到处都是。

Text description provided by the architects. Set on the foothills of Maharashtra in Alibaug, far away from the busy city life of Mumbai. The plot was a dry barren piece of parched earth. When I first saw it, there were two lonely trees; a view of the hills in the distance and dry fields all the way to the sky, all around.

在那灼热的酷热中，只有一个愿望-被引诱回到熟悉的黑暗、寒冷、平静之中。

In that scorching heat, there was only one desire- to be lulled back into that familiar dark, cold, calmness.

印度南部的四合院很好地做到了这一点，它的总体低矮的屋顶和一个中央庭院围绕着房间。

The courtyard house of southern India does this well, with its overarching low slung roofs and a central courtyard around which the rooms surround. 

这座房子是从这里开始的。

The idea of the house began here.

这所房子被小心地安置在两棵树之间，把墙壁封在树冠上；它的三间卧室和一个半封闭的庭院周围环绕着一个银色的小水池；碧蓝的水，涌出的水。它的声音使人心旷神怡。

This house is carefully sited between the two trees, grazing its walls into its crown; its three bedrooms, and living spaces surround an half bounded courtyard with a sliver that opens into a small plunge pool; indigo blue water, that  spouts out gushing waters. Its sounds making for cooling delight.

院子里挂着一棵树荫树，随着树荫的生长，它会吞噬整个空间，每天早晨都会弥漫在屋子里，散发着炽热的芬芳和一朵朵白色的五彩纸屑。

The courtyard  is marked with a the babul tree for shade, which as it would grow would engulf its entire space and suffuse the house with its blazing fragrance and a confetti of tiny white flowers every morning.

在建筑上，庭院并不对空间开放，而是通向一条宽阔的走廊，它的工作方式就像一座木桥，支撑着书房，在一个横扫的钢制屋顶下，把所有的上层房间都绑在一层楼里。

 Architecturally the courtyard doesn’t open to spaces, but instead, to a broad corridor that works like a woody bridge holding a study, under a sweeping corten steel roof and ties all the upper rooms into a single floor.

但是太阳是不可饶恕的，它的尖叫声的光需要用阴影和阴影来使它安静下来。

But the sun is unforgiving; its screeching light needed to be quietened with shade and shadows.

从这里，出现了它的构造语言，无论是它的建筑和景观。

From here, emerged the language of its tectonics, both for its architecture and landscape.

当你走进房子的时候，从汽车离开你的地方走了很长一段路，中间是高耸的草丛和一块滚动的绿色土丘，形成了一个无缝的边缘。

As one enters the house, the long walk from where the car leaves you, in between walls of tall grasses brushes against the skin, and a carpet of rolling green mounds that form a seamless edge to the site.

这座房子被分成了几层碎片，因为它打开了空间，每一层都呈现出不同的光色调。

The house is conceived in shredded layers, as it unravels spaces, each rendered in a different intonation of light. 

它的第一层，在南面，是一堵厚厚的、死气沉沉的、彩色的混凝土墙-一层厚重的隔热帘，用来挡热。

The first of its layers, on the southern side, is a thick, dead, colored concrete wall -a heavy thermal curtain to ward off the heat.

第二层是木桥上的圆钢屋顶，用钢琴键等窗户支撑着研究区域，暗示着印度北部山区的老房子。

The second layer is the corten steel  pitched roof over the woody  bridge, holding the study area with windows like piano keys, alluding  to old homes in the hills of Northern India.

楼梯和它的木条栏杆，钢门廊支撑的桥，客厅的手风琴窗，桌子的腿，地板的图案，以及柔软的棉套，都是重叠层的一个较大的子集。

The stairs and its sliced wooden railings, the bridge held by the steel portals the accordion windows of the living room, legs of tables, the flooring patterns, and soft cotton sheers, all form a larger subset of overlapping layers.

它的每一个元素都是精心设计的，好像是为了阻挡光线；切碎的。

Its every element is designed and detailed as if to obstruct light; shredded.

这座房子的设计就像一个筛子，透过筛子，光线被过滤、点缀和遮住在它的空隙中。

The house is designed like a sieve through which light is filtered, dappled and draped into its hollows.

建筑是作为艺术来设计的，传统的建筑思维模式被扭曲，来嘲弄那些与令人印象深刻的建筑相连的可预测的、严格的几何图形。(鼓掌)

The architecture is crafted as art, where conventional modes of building thought are deviated to deride the predictable strict geometries that are attached to impressive architecture.  

 First Floor

整个地板，与建筑物的正交图案排列相反，工作就像一个漂亮的画布与各种彩色手工制作的混凝土瓷砖。

The entire flooring, in contrary to orthogonal patterned alignments to the building, is worked upon like a feely painted canvas with various pigmented handmade concrete tiles.

从天窗发出的光线划破了墙壁，涂上了棕色的阴影。

Light from the skylights slash the walls, painted in shades of brown.

生活体验被设计成温和的，黑暗的，安静的和色情的，它的体积和空间纹理的层次。钢，混凝土和木材是编舞制造阴影和阴谋。

The living experience is designed to be gentle; dark, quiet and erotic, with its hierarchy of volumes and spatial textures. Steel, concrete and wood are choreographed to manufacture shadows and intrigue.

在爱的气氛中；影子屋。(鼓掌)

In the mood for love; The shadow house.
