架构师提供的文本描述。嵌入山腰的农村村庄的Kigutu，18床村保健工作人员住房是一个浪漫之间的东非元素美学和创造性的剥离-网格的可持续性。在地形上切割一条斜线，6000平方英尺的宿舍捕捉到惊人的山景。目前，经过多年可怕的内乱后重建，村民们希望，这套住房将为社区和国家的可持续未来创造一个模式。

Text description provided by the architects. Embedded in mountainside of the rural village of Kigutu, the 18-bed Village Health Works Staff Housing is a romance between East African elemental aesthetics and inventive off-the grid sustainability. Cutting a skewed line in the terrain, the 6000 square foot dormitory captures breathtaking mountain views. Currently rebuilding after many years of horrific civil strife, the villagers hope that this housing will create a model for the sustainable future of both the community and the country.

多孔门廊

Porous Porches

为了鼓励Kigutu的户外社区文化，超大的公共门廊可以无缝地连接内外，欢迎所有进入的人。同样的，私人卧室，每一个都有自己鲜明的色彩入口门廊，与这种半透性的感觉相呼应。门廊的空隙性鼓励了社交能力，增加了气流进入相邻的卧室，框架壮丽，通畅的横向景观。

To encourage the Kigutu outdoor communal culture, the oversized public porch doors seamlessly connect inside and out, welcoming all who enter. Similarly the private sleeping rooms, each with its own personal vividly colored entry porch, echo this semi-permeable sensibility. The porosity of the porches encourages sociability, enhances airflow into the adjacent sleeping rooms, and frames magnificent unobstructed transverse views of the landscape.

可持续发展战略

Sustainable Strategies

同样的元素设计动作，建立它的美学，也将促进它的可持续性。由于Kigutu 100%没有市政电网，附近的太阳能阵列和当地的太阳能热水器专门为房屋供电。

The same elemental design moves that establish its aesthetics will also advance its sustainability. Since Kigutu is 100% off the municipal grid, a nearby solar array and local solar water heaters exclusively power the housing.

位于部分低于等级，建筑物的位置，既降低了挖掘成本，并利用地球的自然保温进行温度控制。不需要空调，个人门廊创造了三个方面的自然通风在卧室内。窗口开口的位置也创造了一个自然的叠加效应，放大了气流。

Sited partially below grade, the location of the building both reduced excavation costs and takes advantage of the earth’s natural insulation for temperature control. Eliminating the need for air conditioning, the personal porches create three-sided natural ventilation within the bedrooms. The location of the window openings also creates a natural stack effect that amplifies the airflow.

延长的屋顶悬垂提供了太阳能保护，以优化利用自然日光，而法国的排水渠分配径流雨水灌溉，但最大的效率是人的效率。村民们用当地的砖块手工建造住房，消除了燃料消耗机器的需要，并为整个Kigutu社区的成员创造了可转移的工作培训技能。

The extended roof overhangs provide solar protection to optimize the use of natural daylight, while French drains distribute runoff rainwater for irrigation.  Yet the greatest efficiency is the human efficiency. The villagers, using local bricks, manually built the housing, eliminating the need for fuel consuming machines and creating transferrable job training skills for members of the entire Kigutu community.
