架构师提供的文本描述。在印度马哈拉施特拉邦的KHopoli西部高地开始的岩石露头上的第二个家。该地区季风降水大，夏季等热，3月至7月，随着西南季风的开始，站点发生明显变化。该地区的玄武岩是当地的黑色岩石。

Text description provided by the architects. A second home on a rocky outcrop at the start of the western ghats (highlands),Khopoli, in Maharashtra, India. An area of high precipitation in the monsoons, and equal heat during the summers, the site changes remarkably from March to July, with the onset of the south westerly monsoons. Basalt the local black rock of the region is what this site was about.

我们选择在这座岩石玄武岩露头上建造房子，用相同的固有物质进行改造。一种由水、沙子、水泥和粒状玄武岩混合而成的植物。混凝土经过精细的磨练，作为避难所，以面对场地提供的气候变化。这座房子被认为是人类占领的象征，它是一个避难所，它困住了景色、阳光、雨水和空气，并与它所处的悬崖边缘融为一体。类似于珊瑚的生长，墙壁和屋顶的物质决定了居住地点的经验。

We chose to build the house as an accretion on this rocky basalt outcrop with the same inherent material transformed. An outgrowth which was made of a mix of water, sand, cement and the granular basalt. Concrete finely honed to serve as refuge, to face the climatic changes that the site offered. The house was conceived as a cast for human occupation, a refuge which trapped the views, the sun, the rain, the air, and became one with the cliff edge it stood on. Akin to the growth of a coral, the substance of the walls and roof dictate the experience of inhabiting the site.

石头的使用形式很多，根据使用，磨损，握把，质地。黑暗饱和的黑色马特-尼斯召唤着一种冷静的避难感和平静感。照片无法表达当一个人走近时的重量感，或者在开阔露台尽头的泳池边缘的放松感，以及穿过堆叠的石头往下卧室挖掘更深的路线的感觉。

Stone has been used in many forms, based on use, wear, grip, texture. The dark saturated black matt-ness conjures a cool sense of refuge and calm. Photographs cannot express the sense of weight when one approaches, or the sense of release at the edge of the pool at the far end of the open terrace, the feeling of burrowing deeper enroute, past the stacked stones, to the lower bedroom.

这座房子，无论你怎么称呼它，都是一种生活的对象，它已经变成了一座观景台，细细地观察和感受着大自然的景象，一片阴凉的景象，一种对锋利的热带太阳的退却，一种生命的复苏，一种突然的绿色爆发，当强烈的季候风到来时，空气中弥漫着潮湿的泥土的芬芳。星星在非常黑暗的夜空中的运动。通过我们建造的东西来提高网站的戏剧性，而不是建造一座戏剧性的建筑！是的，是的.

The house, a cast, an object for living, whatever you may call it, has transformed into a belvedere to minutely observe and sense the spectacle of nature, of shade as a retreat against the sharp tropical sun, the resurgence of life, a sudden BURST of green, when the hard pounding monsoon arrives, the waft of breezes filling the air with the fragrance of moist earth, the movement of stars across the very dark night skies. To heighten the drama of the the site through what we build, without building a dramatic building!! A peculiar one YES.....
