架构师提供的文本描述。我们称之为水晶环

Text description provided by the architects. We call it the Crystal Ring

这座建筑位于北京和河北省的边境线上。它是一个近两百万平方米住宅文化产业综合体社区的启动项目。该大厦在发展初期用作示范和接待，并在整个项目完成后，为整个社区提供会社服务。

The building is located on the border of Beijing and Hebei province. It is the startup project of a nearly two million square meters residential and cultural industries complex community. The building is used for demonstration and reception at the beginning of the development, and it will serve the whole community as a clubhouse after the completion of the entire projects.

该网站是一个天然的绿色空间，有丰富的各种大树。因此，对环境的态度成为设计的出发点。那座漂浮在草地上的建筑物看上去就像隐藏在树林中的闪闪发光的水晶戒指。

The status site is a natural green space which has plenty of various huge trees. Thus the attitude towards the environment becomes the starting point of the design. The building which floats upon the grass looks like a sparkling crystal ring hidden among the woods.

这座建筑的形状是一个不规则的圆环。树在建筑物的外面、里面或里面。它没有刻意使用完美的曲线，而是轻轻地伸展，以产生剩馀树木的根部。这种不确定性实际上增加了建筑物的自然属性。

The form of the building is an irregular ring. Trees are out of, or in, or within the building. Instead of deliberately using perfect curve, the shape has been softly stretched in order to yield the roots of the remained trees. This uncertainty has actually increased the natural properties of the building.

为了创造出纯净、透明的空间感，我们不仅要将垂直分量与外表面结合起来，而且要控制其截面的最小尺寸。密集柱的内外环距离保持在2m左右，以提供垂直支撑。屋面结构被错开成编织的“分支”，而不是采用常规的法向梁的方法。在一定程度上，这种设计将减少施工跨度，提高整体刚度，通过暴露编织梁而形成独特的室内空间。

In order to create pure and transparent sense of space, we not only combine the vertical components with the outer surface, but also control a minimum size of their section. The inner and outer rings of dense columns keep their distance of 2m to provide the vertical support. The roof structure has been staggered into woven “branches” instead of adopting the conventional approach of normal direction beam. To some extent, this design will reduce the span of construction and enhance the overall stiffness which forms unique indoor space by exposing the woven beams.

在建筑物的北侧，有四个样品室分布在保留的树木之间，这些树是通过玻璃走廊与主楼相连的。

In the north side of the building, there are four sample rooms interspersed among the reserved trees which are connected with the main building by means of a glass corridor.

基于原木纹理的景观设计创造了原始自然生长的概念。有一些柳树倒影，两个微妙的水池位于南方装饰的建筑物，使其更加突出。

The landscape design which is based on texture of original wood creates a concept of original nature growing. With some willow reflections, two delicate water pools located in the south decorate the building which makes it more outstanding.
