架构师提供的文本描述。意大利语“Baita”指的是允许登山者休息和恢复体力的地方。这家位于万科湖松花湖度假村的咖啡厅之所以被称为“意大利白塔”，是因为它位于度假村中心的右侧，面向山和滑雪道，在万科和意大利之间的文化交流中扮演着重要的角色。

Text description provided by the architects. The Italian word “Baita” refers to a place that allows climbers to have a break and regain their strength. This café located in Vanke Lake Songhua Resort is appropriately denominated as “Baita Italia” due to its remarkable place at the right beginning of the town center of the resort facing the mountain and the ski tracks, and its role in the cultural communication between Vanke and Italy.

咖啡厅有一个双层空间，完美的270°视野，朝向美丽的山路和滑雪道。在参观现场的时候，我们站在大楼里，窗外梦幻般的景色给我们留下了深刻的印象，设计灵感来自于此。我们在双层空间和较低空间之间的边缘放置了一个全宽度的木制网格，作为三层。网格的形式模仿对面的山，雪线在每一层的底部用白色勾画。这个木制的格子也延伸到空间，就像一个挂着的窗帘，包裹着连接两层楼的中央楼梯，形成整个空间的强大主题。

The café has a double-story space and perfect 270°view towards the beautiful mountain and ski tracks. Standing in the building during site visiting, we were deeply impressed by the dreamlike scenery outside the window, and the inspiration of the design came from this. We place a full-width wooden grid that setback as three layers at the edge between the double-story space and the lower space. The form of the grid imitates the opposite mountain and the snow line is sketched in white at the bottom of each layer. This wooden grid also extends into the space like a hanged curtain wrapping the central staircase that connects the two stories to form the strong motif of the entire space.

完成的木制网格呈现出一种微妙的气氛，正如我们所预期的。薄而间隔的木条的轻盈度和整个木格子的厚度就像天鹅绒一样，温暖的木质材料和蔼可亲，整个造型的威严就像一个管风琴，令人惊讶地相互融合在一起。

The completed wooden grid presents a subtle atmosphere as we expected. The lightness of the thin and spaced wooden strips and the thickness of the entire wooden grid like a velvet antependium, the affability of the warm wooden material and the majesty of the entire form like a pipe organ, surprisingly blend into each other.

该计数器位于较低的空间，采用一种感觉像一个坚实的木箱相比，木制栅格。它的功能包括订购，厨房，卫生间和储藏，以及在双层空间的座位之间形成隔断，后面的聚会区和入口处的展览空间。除了温暖和沉重的感觉，这里的重点是有效地整合不同的功能。

The counter located in the low space adopts a feel like a solid wooden box compared with the wooden grid. It contains functions including ordering, kitchen, toilet and storage as well as forming a partition between the seats in the double-story space, the party zone behind and the exhibition space near the entrance. Besides the warm and heavy feeling, the emphases here is to efficiently integrate different functions.

本项目面临的是对竣工质量的高要求与有限的预算和紧张的进度之间的矛盾。因此，设计过程中的另一个重点是如何达到适当的平衡。为了取得较好的效果，我们必须尽量采用相对简单的方法，既能节约成本，又能缩短施工时间，达到较好的效果。为了达到这个目的，我们根据我们在木结构建筑实践中积累的经验，一遍又一遍地讨论具体的形式和工艺。

What this project facing is the conflict between the high requirement on the completed quality and the limited budget and tight schedule. Therefore another emphases in the design process is how to reach an appropriate balance. We have to try to adopt relatively simple method that can be easily realized to save cost and shorten the construction while at the same time, to achieve good effect. For this goal, we discussed the specific form and craft over and over again based on the experience that accumulated in our practice in wooden structure architecture.

我们希望这家咖啡厅的室内设计兼具温暖、舒适和影响的效果，使之成为真正的“白塔”，让那些感到寒冷和疲惫的游客能够好好休息，再次离开，享受在这座美丽的山上滑雪的乐趣。

We hope the interior design of this café that has both the quality of warm and comfort and impactful effect could make it become a true “Baita”, which allows the visitors that felt cold and tired to have a good rest and depart again to enjoy the pleasure of skiing in the beautiful mountain.
