架构师提供的文本描述。这个项目是在一个极端的沙漠环境下的现代主义展馆的探索。该遗址是一个面向西面的岩石小丘，从远处可以看到西边的火山山脊和南面的科特兹海。该建筑项目的组织被用来创造一个被动的太阳能反应的限制，一个具有挑战性的场地和适度的建设预算。

Text description provided by the architects. This project is an exploration of the modernist pavilion in an extreme desert context. The site is a west-facing rocky knoll with distant views of a volcanic mountain ridge to the west and the Sea of Cortez to the south. The organization of the architectural program is used to create a passive solar response to the constraints of a challenging site and modest construction budget.

该项目利用陡坡场地上相对较小的建筑足迹-在一系列层叠式平台上组织公共生活区，这些平台由一个单一的长方形空间组成，该单块长方形空间容纳着上面的卧室。上层的循环走廊采用西南面穿孔外墙，吸收强烈的太阳能增益，将室内卧室与热隔离，同时产生压差，从而产生有效的被动通风。

The project utilizes a relatively small building footprint on the steeply sloping site - organizing the public living areas on a series of cascading platforms, shaded and sheltered by a single monolithic rectangular volume that houses the bedrooms above. The circulation corridor on the upper floor features a southwest-facing perforated exterior wall that absorbs the intense solar gain, isolating the inboard bedrooms from the heat while also creating a pressure differential that results in effective passive ventilation.

上面的音量在三个点上轻轻支撑，大部分主地板通过一系列可操作的玻璃板进入景观。在上面的盒子里有一个很大的内部矩形开口，通过这个开口，一个悬挑的楼梯向上上升到跳水池上方。这个深的开放阻挡了阳光直接穿透到下面的外部生活空间，同时提供了一个开放的连接到天空之上的外部生活区和游泳池。

The upper volume is supported lightly on three points, with the majority of the main floor opening into the landscape through a series of operable glass panels. There is a large internal rectangular opening in the upper box, through which a cantilevered stair rises upward over the plunge pool. This deep opening blocks direct sunlight from penetrating into the exteriorized living space below, while providing an open connection to the sky above the exterior living area and pool.
