架构师提供的文本描述。两座新的“共享屋”-总部位于纽约市的莎伦·戴维斯设计公司(Sharon Davis Design)-与卢旺达村卫生局和卢旺达卫生部合作，将于本周在卢旺达农村的Rwinkwalu开业。这一住房是卢旺达这一偏远地区地方保健系统向前迈出的重要一步。

Text description provided by the architects. Two new “Share Houses” – designed by New York City-based Sharon Davis Design, in partnership with Rwanda Village Enterprise for Partners In Health and the Rwandan Ministry of Health – are opening this week in rural Rwinkwavu, Rwanda. This housing represents a major step forward for the local healthcare system in this remote area of Rwanda.

这一设计既符合其在炎热干燥的山坡上的网站，也符合客户所需的紧张预算。每间卧室都有自己的私人外部空间，面向西边山谷的视野，有很大的悬垂，用于防雨和防热。卧室与共用的浴室和公共空间相连，外面有遮蔽和屏蔽的走廊。桉树屏风环绕着房子的上坡部分，为它的居民提供了一种封闭和隐私的感觉，同时也是一种与更传统的建筑方式的连接。

The design responds both to its site on a hot, dry hillside and to the tight budget required by the client. Each bedroom has its own private exterior space facing the views of the valley to the west with large overhangs for rain and heat protection. The bedrooms are connected to the shared bathrooms and common spaces with a covered and screened exterior walkway. The eucalyptus screen wraps around the uphill side of the house providing a sense of enclosure and privacy for it residents and also a connection to more traditional ways of building.

所有建筑材料都来自卢旺达境内，大部分来自邻近地区。当地的石头被采掘成所有的地基和人行道。一个邻里的妇女合作社被雇用做所有的手工砖块来建造墙壁。通风的屋顶空腔覆盖粘土瓦片，以提高热和声学性能。为了帮助支持地方经济，大约90%的劳动力来自贫穷和农村的Rwinkwalu村，在整个建筑过程中，妇女至少占工作人员的三分之一。

All the construction materials were sourced from within Rwanda, with most coming from the neighboring areas. Local stone was quarried for all foundations and walkways. A neighborhood women’s cooperative was employed to make all the handmade bricks for wall construction. A ventilated roof cavity is clad with clay tiles for thermal and acoustic performance. In order to help support the local economy, approximately 90% of the labor was local to the poor and rural village of Rwinkwavu, and women represented a minimum of one third of the staff throughout construction.

莎伦·戴维斯设计公司的创始人莎伦·戴维斯将该项目描述为“不仅仅是医生和护士的宿舍，这个项目意味着工作人员不仅住得离医院更近-节省时间和金钱-而且医院附近的优质住房将提高士气，加强工作人员和社区之间的联系，我们希望在这个村庄内建立一个村庄”。

Sharon Davis, the founder of Sharon Davis Design, describes the project as “more than a dormitory for doctors and nurses, this project means that staff not only live closer to the hospital – saving time and money – but quality housing near the hospital will boost morale, enhance connections between staff and community and will, we hope, create a village within this village".

这两栋楼的每栋楼都有8名医生或护士，两栋楼共有16人。该住宅项目紧邻当地110张病床的Rwinkwayu医院.2005年，作为战后重建工作的一部分，卢旺达政府要求卫生合作伙伴帮助加强东部省两个服务不足的地区的公共卫生系统。妊高征已经在布塔罗建造了医生住所；2011年1月开业的150张床位的布塔罗区医院，将医疗服务带到了以前没有功能医院的地区，并成为东非医学教育中心。

Each building of the two buildings houses eight doctors or nurses for a total of 16 people for the two buildings. This housing project is immediately adjacent to the local 110-bed Rwinkwayu Hospital. In 2005, as part of its post-war rebuilding effort, the Rwandan government asked Partners In Health to help strengthen the public health system in two underserved districts in the eastern province. PIH has already built doctor’s housing in Butaro; the 150-bed Butaro District Hospital, opened in January 2011, brings medical care to a district that previously didn’t have a functional hospital, and serves as a center for medical education for East Africa.

PIH目前还支持卢旺达政府在三家医院和41个保健中心为865 000多人提供服务，其中包括Rwinkwalu医院。

PIH now also supports the Rwandan government in providing services to more than 865,000 people at three hospitals and 41 health centers, including Rwinkwavu Hospital.
