架构师提供的文本描述。“观察点”位于斯里兰卡这个令人震惊的山地国家。该网站是一个陡峭的坡地访问在其最高点，允许惊人的看法周围的山脉一直到甘波拉和更远。由于客户预算紧张，所以很少进行土方工程、挡土墙。这份简报要求为两名兽医科学家和他们的女儿建造一座面积为1300平方英尺的小房子。

Text description provided by the architects. The “lookout point” is located in the astonishing hill country of Sri Lanka. The site is a steeply sloping land accessed at its highest point, allows for breathtaking views of the mountains around all the way up to Gampola and beyond. The tight budget of the clients allowed for very little earth work, retaining walls. The brief called for a small 1300 sqft family home for two veterinary scientists and their daughter.

利用这一独特的位置，我们的想法是让所有住宅空间都能欣赏这些观点，同时也维护街道全景的延续，而不是让发展成为一种障碍。

Taking advantage of this exclusive location, the idea was to let all the spaces of the residence delight in these views while also upholding the continuation of the panorama from the street rather than the development being an obstruction.

因此，建筑物从街道水平部分沉入，平面混凝土屋顶刚好低于街道的视线水平。由于在如此陡峭的斜坡上可建造的平坦土地有限，主要的居住/餐饮空间从山上投射出来，并由一根柱子支撑。其结果是一个纯粹的魅力空间，提供270度的景观周围的景观。周围的花园里种植着当地的野生树叶和开花植物，这些植物大量存在于这片土地较低的地方，为农业保留了较低水平的土地。

Hence, the building was partially sunk-in from the street level with the flat concrete rooftop being just below eye level from the street. Since buildable flat land in such a steep slope was limited, the main living/dining space was projected out from the hill and supported with a single column. The result was a space of pure enchantment of offering a 270 degree view of the landscapes around. The gardens around are planted with local wild foliage and flowering plants found abundantly in the area with lower levels of the land reserved for agriculture.
