曾经有一所小学沿这片土地的北边排列，其余的南部则是一个游乐场。按照这种图形-地面关系，我们将单个质量体积分布成小分量，然后根据场地的不同海拔将它们分散到地面上。该设计考虑了酒店客房的隐私性、服务流通的隐蔽性和灵活性以及外部环境的多样性，力求最大限度地利用南方的景观，满足阳光的要求。那所小学的双沥青黑瓦屋顶是场地记忆的来源。我们尝试将黑砖墙作为当地的建筑材料加以维护，并加以应用，具有一定的规模感和较高的实用价值。屋面的施工也是当地房屋的瓷砖屋面形式、分批保温要求和对周围山体形状的响应的结果。

There once was a primary school lined along the north boundary of this site, and the rest southern part of the site was a playground. followed this figure-ground relation, we distributed the single mass volume into small components, and then spread them onto the ground according to different elevations of the site. the design intends to maximize the view of the landscape in the south and fulfill the requirements of sunshine, with the consideration of the privacy of hotel rooms, imperceptibility and flexibility of the service circulation, and diversity of the exterior environment. the double pitch black tile roof of that primary school is the origin of representation of the site memory. we try to maintain the black brick wall as local architectural material and apply them with a sense of scale and relatively practical value. the construction of the roof is also a result of integration of the tile roof form of local housing, the installaiton requirement of insulation and the response to the surrounding mountain shape.

在这样的场地环境中，我们试图通过对场地的位置、功能、建筑材料等一系列基本问题的回答，来表达建筑的本质。因为我们认为，如果这座建筑的构思足够复杂，它就能在使用过程中发展出自己的力量，成为自然世界的一部分，而不需要添加任何艺术元素。

In this ambient of site, we try to pull our subjective emotion away to present the essence of the architecture by responding a series of basic questions like site location, function, architectural material and etc. since we believe that, if the building is conceived sophisticatedly enough for its site and program, it will develop its own strength during the use, and serve as a part of the natural world, with no need for artistic additions.
