架构师提供的文本描述。冲绳是一个美丽的日本南部岛屿，在那里可以欣赏到许多美丽的自然景观。强烈的太阳辐射和台风是唯一令人不快的现象。古往今来，人们发现了与自然共存的方式，创造了使他们的生活更加丰富的环境。这个项目是为一对年轻夫妇和一个小女孩在冲绳的Shuri Nahity市建造的房子。

我们提出了一个更好的住宅使用自然能源，没有机械设备。在冲绳，这些巨大的屋檐形成了很深的阴影，可以保护生命免受过度的日照。被植物覆盖的绿色屏风从屋顶固定在地面上。在夏天，这个绿色的屏幕将创造遮荫和遮挡阳光。冬天，阳光透过树叶进入室内。这个绿色的屏幕保护着居民的隐私。一楼离地面大约3英尺高，以便进行自然通风。一股自然风穿过第一层和地面之间的地板下的空间。

We proposed a better dwelling using natural energy without mechanical equipment. The large eaves makes deep shadows that protect life against excessive insolation in Okinawa. The green screen which is covered with plants is set on the ground from the roof. In summer, this green screen will create shade and protection from the sun light. In winter, sunlight enters inside the room through the leaves. And this green screen guards the privacy of the inhabitants. The first floor is raised about 3 feet from the ground for natural ventilation. A natural wind passes through the space beneath the floor between the first and the ground level.

风通过一楼和二楼板上的通风孔进入房间内。夏天的热风是由池子上的蒸发热冷却的，这个池塘位于一楼下面。

Wind comes through and inside the room by vent which are set on first and second floor slab. A hot wind in summer is chilled by the heat of evaporation on the pond, this pond is located under first floor.

过去冲绳有一条渡槽，是人们日常生活中经常使用的水。这所房子的大屋顶工作的相同的机制，收集雨水，是导致池塘或盆在二楼。集水区被有效地用于植物。

In the past in Okinawa, an aqueduct and is water was used frequently by the people in their daily life. This house large roof works as the same mechanism gathering rain water that is lead to the pond or basin on the second floor. Catchment of water is used effectively for plants.
