架构师提供的文本描述。这所房子的场地比较大，在南北方向很长.南侧面对一条道路，并有以下现有的特点：一个大门，包括一个庭院，一个主楼和一个次要的长屋，两者都有大约一百年的历史。北面有一座混凝土房子，与主楼相连。此外，还有一个广阔的后花园被野草覆盖。项目地点在花园和现有建筑物之间，原来的稻田使这是一个潮湿的地点。由于这个原因，新房子的立柱，或柱，以获得良好的气流通过内部空间。房子的立面为自然通风提供了一个最佳的位置。增加的体积就像风洞一样，确保了夏季新鲜空气的进入。

Text description provided by the architects. The site for this house is a comparatively large lot, long in the north-south direction. The south side fronts a road and has the following existing features: a gate that encloses a courtyard, a main house and a secondary long house, both around a hundred years old. On the north side there was a concrete house connected to the main house. Also there is an expansive back garden covered in wild grass. The project site was between the garden and the existing buildings, with original rice fields making this a humid location. For this reason, the new house is raised on columns, or pilotis, to gain good airflow through the internal spaces. The elevation of the house on pilotis gives an optimum location for natural ventilation. The raised volume operates as a wind tunnel ensuring the entrance of fresh air during the summer time.

场地很大，有一个现有的主楼和一个二级露台房。在主楼和露台屋之间，增加了许多东西。场地的北侧被分配给新房子，主楼用作招待所，露台屋用作办公室。其他建筑物被拆除，并维持了从庭院通往新房的通道。因为那里有稻田，湿度很高，所以新房子是在一楼设计的，是在柱子上升起的。这样的话，从主房子和露台房子的角度看，仍然可以看到场地后面的广阔部分。此外，还创造了一个视觉和空间序列，其中包括前花园，庭院，和后花园。

The site is large, with an existing main house and a secondary terrace house. Between the main house and the terrace house, many additions were made. The north side of the site was allocated for the new house, with the main house to be used as a guest house and the terrace house to be used as an office. The other buildings were demolished and access from the courtyard to the new house was maintained. Because there are rice fields, the humidity is high and so the new house was designed on the first floor, raised on columns, or pilotis. In so doing, the expansive back part of the site could still be viewed from the main house and the terrace house. Also, a visual and spatial sequence was created that included the front garden, courtyard, and back garden.

由于该地区房屋的非常规形状，材料的选择面临着将建筑与当地特色联系起来的机会。传统上，在这些地区的许多房屋中，烧木板都是用作装饰的，因为它具有耐用性和耐火性。在建筑物中使用深色木材时，考虑到了新房子被现有建筑包围的主要景观。

Due to the unconventional shape of the house in the area, the selection of materials was faced as an opportunity to link the building to the local features. Burned wood panels has been traditionally used as finishing in many houses of these area, because of its durability and fire resistance.The dark timber, is applied in the building taking into account the main views where the new house can be seen surrounded by the existing
