架构师提供的文本描述。作为两名医生及其两个女儿的家庭住宅，这座五室住宅还附有附件，供任何来访的亲属居住。该设计位于科伦坡一个繁忙的地方，位于14座栖息的土地上，试图创造一个垂直和平面两层空间的三维组合。有限的未建造的开放空间已经被用来创建三个花园，创造美丽的景观区域，其中一些空间是开放的。它们还使所有公共和私人空间充满了充足的自然光线和通风。

Text description provided by the architects. Designed as a family residence for two doctors and their two daughters this five bedroom residence also has an attached annex for any visiting relatives to stay in. Located in a 14 perch block of land in a busy part of Colombo, the design attempts at creating a three dimensional composition of spaces layered both vertically and in plan. The limited un-built open space has been used to create three gardens creating beautiful landscaped areas to which some of the spaces open out. They also flood all public and private spaces with an abundance of natural light and ventilation.

从街道上，一条宽阔的通道通向正门，经过一个入口庭院，里面有“大西洋”树和白色鹅卵石，欢迎人们进入。一个巨大的，双高的居住，餐饮，厨房空间构成了房子的中心，有一个双层玻璃外墙开放到主花园。在主花园里种上了当地的果树，如‘Beli’，Mango，‘jambu’，虽然在很小的程度上可以获得令人兴奋的视觉焦点。

From the street, a wide access path leads to the main entrance passing an entrance courtyard with ‘Atteria’ trees and white pebbles welcoming those entering. A large, double height living, dining, pantry space forms the center of the house with a double height glazed façade opening in to the main garden. Planted with local fruit trees such as ‘Beli’, Mango, ‘Jambu’ in the main garden, although a small extent allows for an exciting visual focus.

两个屋顶花园也试图收回失去的土地，在地面上，创造更多的娱乐空间和地区种植蔬菜和水果供客户自己消费。木材屏风和双层绿色植物确保上层空间与街道“分离”，并允许令人兴奋的绿色植物景观。

Two roof gardens also try to reclaim the land lost to the building at ground level creating additional recreational spaces and area for growing vegetables and fruits for the client’s own consumption.  A timber screen and double layers of greenery ensures upper levels spaces are ‘detached’ from the street and allows for exciting view of greenery.

1.建筑物的设计是为了实现所有地区的自然光和通风。通过允许交叉通风通过空间，建筑的热量增加已经减少。

1. Building has been designed to achieve natural light and ventilation to all the areas. By allowing cross ventilation through the spaces, heat gain of the building has been reduced.

由于建筑物的功能空间已经连接起来，两个内部庭院和后花园的空气自然地流过整个建筑，创造了一个舒适的环境。露台和花园里的植物和树木减少了直接进入建筑物的阳光，减少了眩光和热量。

Since the functional spaces of the building have been connected two internal courtyards and the rear garden air flows naturally throughout the building and creates a comfortable environment inside. Plants and trees at the terraces and at the garden level cut down the direct sunlight coming to the building and reduce the glare and heat.

旋转露台降低了通过屋顶板的热量。

Turfed terrace reduces the heat gain through the roof slab.

2.用于美化地面和上层的大多数植物都是土著植物，它们需要较低的耗水量。
