架构师提供的文本描述。这座平房几乎坐落在一个占地17公顷的高地上，橡胶种植园在那里停了下来，丛林开始了。它的选择和高架位置允许一个不受干扰的景观，在庄园，山谷和山以外，这是一个始终与变化的季节和水稻种植周期的变化。

Text description provided by the architects. The bungalow sits almost on top of the raised terrain of a 17 ha estate, where the rubber plantation stops and the jungle begins. It’s selected and elevated siting allows an undisturbed view of the estate, the valley below and the hills beyond, a view that is always in flux with the changing seasons and the cycle of the paddy cultivation.

这套平房是一个年轻企业家客户可以定期监督房地产运作的地方，也是他、他的家人和朋友的出走之地。客户还希望能够灵活地出租平房，以容纳试图逃离城市繁忙生活的客户，这是一个可以让人安静休息的地方。

The bungalow serves to be a place where the client, a young entrepreneur, can oversee the functioning of the estate periodically and also as a get‐away for him, his family and friends. The client also wanted the flexibility to be able to rent out the bungalow to accommodate a clientele seeking to escape the busy life of the city, a place that would allow quiet rest.

这个紧凑型的120平方米平房的简介主要是为了迎合这种“休息”的因素，因此只有三间带有浴室的卧室和一个多功能空间和一间储藏室。经营该平房及屋村所需的服务人员及附属空间，是位于落山的现有建筑物内，隐藏在树冠之下，使占用人能完全脱离所有日常事务，而又能得到他所需的一切服务。这些楼层使用几乎是外部的楼梯连接在一起，这样床房就能提供最大限度的隐私。

The brief of this compact 120m2 bungalow was formulated primarily to cater to this factor of ‘rest’ and thus included only three bedrooms with attached baths and a multi‐functional space with a pantry. Service personnel and ancillary spaces needed for the running of the bungalow and the estate was housed in existing buildings downhill, hidden by the tree canopy, allowing the occupier to completely disconnect from all daily routines and yet be provided with all his needs. The levels are linked using an almost external stairway, such that the bed rooms can be afforded the maximum privacy envisioned.

该建筑的形式是灵感来自于谦逊的“Chena Watch-Hut”。在斯里兰卡农村，通常采用刀耕火种的耕作方式是一种常见的农业方法。为了保护一夜之间的耕作，一间值班小屋被作为农民的一个高架避难所.

The form of the building is inspired from the modest “Chena Watch‐Hut”. A Chena or Shifting Cultivation that usually uses a slash‐and‐burn strategy is a common agricultural method seen in rural Sri Lanka. A watch‐hut is adopted as an elevated refuge for the farmer to protect the cultivation overnight.

灵感的形式借鉴了手表的一般元素该解决方案主要采用一个高架甲板延伸出小山，一个可替代的空间，包括所有的生活和功能方面所需的私人领域塞进一个紧凑的木材包装箱。简单的不对称屋顶，倾斜，其结构延伸，接触地球造成一定的不平衡，暂时性的整体。

The inspired form draws on the generic elements of the watch‐hut that encompasses a ‘Simple Form’, that is ‘Elevated’, ‘Protected’, yet ‘Connected’, allows ‘Maximum vantage’, has a ‘Single Entry’, could be ‘Dismantled’, ‘Re‐usable’ and primarily ‘Touches the Earth Lightly’. The solution adopts primarily an elevated deck extending off the hill, a fungible space that encompasses all living and functional aspects needed with the private areas tucked into a compact timber clad box. The simple asymmetric roof, skewed, its structure extending, touching the earth creates a certain imbalance, temporariness to the whole.

结构概念采用整体作为放置在山坡上的元素，而不是嵌入其中的元素。钢支撑本身的延伸线，触及自然起伏的地面在不同高度的景观。

The structural concept adopts the whole as an element placed on the hill side, rather than one that is embedded into it. The steel supports are the extended lines of the form itself, touching the naturally undulating ground at varying heights in the landscape.

使用的材料仅限于钢铁、木材和竹子，试图使线条尽可能薄，使其具有“脆弱”的感觉，尽量减少对现场的干预，让自然的地面、植被和水流受到抑制。

The materials used are limited to steel, timber and bamboo tats attempting to keep the lines thin as possible imbuing it with a sense of ‘flimsiness’, keeping intervention on site minimal, letting the natural ground, the vegetation, the run‐off of water to flow inhibited.

床房采用墙面覆盖板和板技术，内、外注入了一定的纹理，减轻了箱体的坚固性，同时也为居住者创造了一个保护信封。床房的东面是不加遮挡的，可以最大限度地看到风景。

The bed rooms are timber clad using the board and board technique of wall cladding, imbuing a certain texture inside and out, and easing the solidity of the box, yet creating a protective envelope for the occupant. The east facing façades of the bed rooms are left unclad, allowing maximum views.
