架构师提供的文本描述。西萨拉山庄是一种融合了白话和当代，斯里兰卡和西方的情感。这座别墅位于联合国教科文组织的世界遗产城市坎迪的乡村高地上，旨在应对丰富的建筑和文化遗产、热带山区景观和气候。

Text description provided by the architects. Nisala Villa is a fusion of vernacular and contemporary, Sri Lankan and Western sensibilities. Located along the village high road in the countryside of Kandy, a UNESCO world heritage city, the villa aims to respond to the rich architectural and cultural heritage, tropical mountain landscape and climate.

该设计是一个抽象和简单的练习，灵感来自斯里兰卡的“上乡”生活和古代王国，利用当地来源的当地材料和建筑传统。

The design is an exercise in abstraction and simplicity, inspired by Sri Lankan ‘up-country’ living and ancient kingdoms, utilising locally sourced vernacular materials and building traditions.

沿着山坡移动，穿过别墅，一连串的空间和平台展开。有一个过渡的公共前沿生活，餐饮和娱乐平台，在一个慷慨的悬臂屋顶，到更小的私人空间和亲密花园连接的中央走廊。

Moving up the hillside and through the villa, a linear sequence of spaces and platforms unfold. There is a transition from the communal front living, dining and entertainment terrace under one generous cantilevering roof to smaller private spaces and intimate gardens connected by the central hallway.

平台在统一的浮木屋顶下滑行，这些屋顶紧紧地拥抱着，并戏剧性地翱翔。“平台”重新诠释了Jorn Utzon的论文“平台与高原”(黄道十二宫，第10期(1962)：113-140)。巨大的空间变化，环境照明效果，内外条件是由高耸的屋顶，天窗，平台和花园创造的。这座建筑是支离破碎的，构造性的，但却是一个统一的整体对象。

Platforms slide underneath unifying floating timber roofs that hug and soar dramatically. The ‘platforms’ reinterpret Jorn Utzon’s essay, “Platforms and Plateaus” (Zodiac, No.10(1962):113-140). Dramatic spatial variations, environmental lighting effects, and inside-outside conditions are created by the soaring roofs, skylights, platforms and gardens. The building is fragmented, tectonic, yet a unified whole object.

家具是从斯里兰卡制造或采购的，结合手工制作的殖民和斯里兰卡古董，以及纳特·兰克索奇设计的互补的当代作品。

Furniture is manufactured or sourced from Sri Lanka, a combination of hand-crafted colonial and Sri Lankan antiques, and complementary contemporary pieces custom designed by Nath Rankothge.

该项目通过设计、建造和运营采用社会、经济和环境上可持续的办法。

The project employs socially, economically and environmentally sustainable approaches through design, construction and operations.

被动设计是减少碳和能源足迹的关键。自然通风的有效性，捕捉微风，冷却周边花园，高天花板，地面生活，和热质量意味着空调是避免的。自然交叉通风是通过一个高度‘开放’的门窗面对周边花园，并捕捉到自然凉风从北面海拔的山下来。上升到山上的空间是由高水平窗户和百叶窗的线性走廊连接起来的，从而促进了烟囱通风。透明的玻璃高地，高高的窗户和天窗允许大量的自然日光，而深而低的屋檐减少了直接的太阳穿透。利用太阳能热水和电力将耗电量降到最低。

Passive design features were critical to reducing the carbon and energy footprint. The effectiveness of natural ventilation, capturing breezes, cooling perimeter gardens, high ceilings, ground level living, and thermal mass have meant that air conditioning is avoided. Natural cross ventilation is promoted through a highly ‘openable’ skin of doors and windows facing perimeter gardens, and capturing a natural cooling breeze coming down the mountain on the Northern elevation. Spaces stepping up the hill are connected by the linear hallway with high level windows and louvers promoting stack ventilation. The transparent glass elevations, high windows, and skylights permit generous natural daylight, while deep, low eaves reduce direct sun penetration. Electricity consumption is minimised using solar hot water and electricity.

雇用当地劳工、材料和制作者是设计和施工过程中不可或缺的一部分。大多数建筑材料和劳动力都是根据可用性、可持续性、技术能力和成本考虑在坎迪或该岛其他地区采购的。斯里兰卡有限的低成本、高质量的进口材料和先进的建筑技术是2009年结束的长达30年的内战的结果。作为在斯里兰卡执业的建筑师们的一种适应性反应，对当地材料的细腻提炼以及石匠等现有技能的使用，正在定义一种当代斯里兰卡的建筑美学。斯里兰卡人对独立花园家庭类型的偏爱形成了一种全岛范围的、密集的、“热带郊区”的状况。在这种情况下，Nisala Villa展示了在快速发展的时期，通常以低成本、低标准的建筑为特点的、方便、适当、优质的住宅建筑的可能性。

Engaging local labour, materials, and fabricators were integral to the design and construction process. Most construction materials and labour were sourced in Kandy or other parts of the island based on availability, sustainability, technical capability, and cost considerations. The limited selection of cost-effective, quality imported materials and advanced construction technologies in Sri Lanka is a consequence of a 3 decade long internal war that ended in 2009. As an adaptive response by architects practicing in Sri Lanka, the detail refinement of vernacular materials and use of available skills such as stonemasonry is defining a contemporary Sri Lankan architectural aesthetic. The Sri Lankan preference for the detached garden home typology has shaped an island-wide, dense, ‘tropical-suburban’ condition. Within this context, Nisala Villa demonstrates possibilities for accessible, appropriate, quality residential construction, during a period of rapid development generally characterised by low cost, substandard construction.

精品别墅的运作支持建筑的维护和村社区的参与。村民们热情地与接待专家合作，发展技能，谋生，与外国人接触，分享想法。对村庄身份和文化的敏感是最重要的，村民参与决策和执行。西萨拉山庄已成为包容性发展和文化的象征。

The boutique villa operation supports building maintenance and engages the village community. Villagers enthusiastically work with hospitality experts, develop skills, make a livelihood, engage with foreigners, and share ideas. Sensitivity to village identity and culture is paramount and the villagers are involved in decision making and implementation. Nisala Villa has become a symbol of inclusive development and culture.
