架构师提供的文本描述。西蒙吉尔建筑师在2012年夏天完成了在保加利亚巴塔克的捕鱼小屋。这座290平方米的建筑分为两部分，一半房屋建在山坡上，另一半建在地面上方，呈绝缘塔状。这座与世隔绝的房子俯瞰着一个美丽的大湖，后面是广阔的森林。

Text description provided by the architects. Simon Gill Architects completed the fishing lodge at Batak, Bulgaria, in the summer of 2012. The 290 m2 building is divided into two sections with one half of the house built into the hillside and the other rising above ground in an insulated tower-like volume. The secluded house overlooks a large beautiful lake with vast forests lying close behind.

巴塔克湖位于保加利亚南部罗多普山脉的西北山坡上，海拔1400米，四周是松树林和云杉。1876年，历史悠久的巴塔克城是世界事务的中心，当时在巴塔克发生的奥斯曼暴行导致俄罗斯对土耳其宣战，而英国亲土耳其的外交政策则摇摆不定。

The lake of Batak lies 1400 metres up on the north western slopes of the Rhodope Mountains in Southern Bulgaria, surrounded by great forests of pine and spruce. The historic town of Batak was at the centre of world affairs in 1876 when an Ottoman atrocity in Batak caused Russia to declare war on Turkey and British pro-Turkish foreign policy to wobble.

西蒙吉尔说：“我们的目标是创造一个迷人的地方，将共鸣伟大的自然美景和丰富的文化的地理位置。我们认为，这所房子创造了一种与景观和保加利亚传统相联系的存在，而不仅仅是创造一个静止的抽象物体，作为景观中的“另一种”东西，这是非常重要的。这包括尽可能减少房屋对周围环境的影响。“

Simon Gill says “Our aim was to create an enchanted place that would resonate with the great natural beauty and rich culture of its location. We felt it essential that the house created a presence that connected both to the landscape and  Bulgarian traditions, rather than just creating a mute abstract object standing as something ‘other’ in the landscape. And this included reducing the impact of the house on the surrounding environment as far as possible.”

最终的结果是一座庆祝保加利亚人日常生活活动的房子；主空间中心的喷泉在爬上山后提供清新的水，一个石榴石式排水沟从屋顶排出水，一张建在房子结构里的桌子可以在湖边独特的景色下就餐。在温暖的洞穴里睡觉的感觉是在内部产生的。在房子地面上的空间里，主壁炉被故意的过大，以强调它在晚上的重要性，当温度降到零度以下的时候，木质内衬的墙壁唤起视觉的温暖。在房子的地下部分，可以透过一扇大窗户看到土堤，地板在旁边缓缓下坡。

The end result is a house that celebrates the ordinary activities of Bulgarian life; a fountain in the centre of the principal space offers refreshment after the climb up the hill, a gargoyle drains water from the roof, and a table built into the fabric of the house offers dining with unique views over the lake. A sense of sleeping in a warm burrow is created internally. In the above-ground volume of the house the main fireplace is deliberately oversized to emphasise its importance on evenings when the temperature drops way below zero, and timber lined walls evoke visual warmth. In the underground part of the house the banking of the earth is visible through a large window as the floor gently ramps down beside it.
