架构师提供的文本描述。摄影师、建筑师和设计师MarcGerritsen想要建造一座房子，提供一种真实的生活体验，一种与自然世界的联系，以及一种远离城市生活的方式。在台湾生活了八年，在亚洲各地工作了八年，拍摄了许多豪华的房产和五星级酒店后，格利森开始厌倦了富裕和喧嚣。他发现自己渴望一个更简单、更有意义的建筑，就在那时，他偶然发现了苏梅岛的一块土地。

Text description provided by the architects. Photographer, architect and designer marc gerritsen wanted to build a house that offered an authentic living experience, a connection to the natural world and a retreat from city living. After living in taiwan and working all over asia for eight years, photographing many luxurious properties and five-star hotels, gerritsen began to tire of the opulence and the hustle and bustle. He found himself craving a more simple and meaningful architecture. It was then that he stumbled upon a plot of land in koh samui.

MarcGerritsen：这个地方的主要原因是周围环境的开阔和安静。台北的生活非常繁忙，我需要一个地方来逃避。我真的想要一个安静的区域和一个美妙的景色。有一个开放式的起居室，门可以完全滑开，可以俯瞰游泳池和大海-这是我想了很久的事情。有了这个情节，我就能把拼图拼凑在一起。这所房子回归了生活中的基本价值观：空气清新，开阔的空间，安静的独处。有了这些基本的价值观，你就可以在一个整洁的空间里，你的头脑可以变得平静。这也是我所使用的最基本的材料的原因：混凝土，木材，钢铁和玻璃。没有装饰。重点在于空间而不是材料。

Marc gerritsen: the main thing about this location is the expanse of the surroundings and the quietness. Life in taipei is very hectic, and i needed a place to escape. I really wanted a quiet area and a fantastic view. Having an open plan living room, with doors that can totally slide away, which look out at the pool and the ocean – that’s something i’d been thinking about for a long time. With this plot, i was able to put the pieces of the puzzle together. The house was a return to the basic values in life: good clean air, wide-open space, quiet solitude.  With these basic values you can be in a space that is uncluttered, and your mind can become still. That’s also the reason behind the very basic materials that i have used: concrete, wood, steel and glass. There are no embellishments. The focus is on the space rather than the materials.

我原本打算三层楼：底层有两间卧室，中层有游泳池、客厅和厨房，顶层还有一间办公室。但我在客厅里加了一间浴室，一间洗衣房和一间储藏室。我想要一个简单的厨房，没有高架碗橱或高冰箱，所以储藏室很适合储藏。我增加了一个独立的露天浴室，因为顶层的房间变成了一个华丽的主卧室，需要一个套房。储物柜和植物房变成了一个大的开放式房间，有一张摇摆床，在甲板下面我加了一间蒸汽房，卧室下面的空间现在住着一间办公室和一间女佣的房间。因此，它最终变成了五个故事-这是一项正在进行的工作的结果。

I originally planned three stories: two bedrooms on the bottom; the pool, living area and kitchen on the middle level; and an office on top. But i’ve added a bathroom on the living room level, a laundry room and pantry. I wanted a simple kitchen, with no overhead cupboards or tall fridge, so the pantry is good for storage. I added a freestanding open-air bathroom, as the top room became a magnificent master bedroom, which needed an en-suite. The tank and plant room became a large open room with a swing bed, underneath the deck i added a steam room, and the space below the bedrooms now houses an office and maid’s room. So it ended up being five stories – the result of a work in progress.

 Floor Plan

在过去的几年里，作为一名建筑和室内摄影师，我的工作教会了我不要做什么。看看我在亚洲拍摄的所有令人难以置信的细节。我想：“这真的有必要让人感到舒服吗？”如果我走在混凝土地板上，或者我走在大理石地板上，这会让我的生活体验变得更好吗？“否你只需要一层地板就行了。我感兴趣的是回归最基本的生活方式，一种奢华的僧侣生活方式。

My work over the last few years as an architectural and interior photographer has taught me what not to do. Looking at all the incredibly fine detailed properties i photographed in asia. I thought: “is this really necessary to be comfortable? If i walk on a concrete floor or if i walk on a marble floor, is it going to make my living experience so much better?” No. You just need a floor to walk on. I am interested in a return to basics, in a luxury monastic way of living.
