架构师提供的文本描述。智囊团位于果阿东部绿草如茵的环境中，由八个活的单位和一个备用的保健中心组成。保健中心的辅助项目(按摩室、会议设施和厨房)被设想为独立的盒子，在一个巨大的粘土瓷砖屋顶下的一个公共基座上集成。每个单独盒子的露台也可以进入，并可用作非正式会议、瑜伽和冥想的可利用的覆盖空间。

Text description provided by the architects. Located in the verdant environs of eastern Goa, the Think Tank Retreat is composed of eight living units and an alternate health centre. The ancillary programs of the health centre (massage rooms, a conference facility and kitchen) are conceived as independent boxes that are integrated on a common plinth under a large clay tile roof. The terraces of each of these separate boxes are also accessible and serve as useable covered spaces for informal meetings, yoga, and meditation.

自然交叉通风，通过双屋顶的绝缘和建筑物风化优雅的关注和最低限度的维护在热带气候果阿是中心关注的设计战略。此外，使用当地材料作为主要建筑要素：红土墙(在距场地5公里范围内采石)和粘土瓦(在当地制造)用于屋顶，使当地的土著建筑传统地方化和延伸。

Natural cross ventilation, built in insulation through the double roof and concerns of the building weathering gracefully with minimal maintenance in the tropical climate of Goa were the central concerns in the design strategy. In addition the use of local materials for the primary building elements: laterite walls (quarried within a 5 km radius of the site) and the clay tiles ( made locally) for the roof localize and extend the indigenous building traditions in the locality.
