架构师提供的文本描述。山腰的土地被巨大的稻田和种植蔬菜的田地所包围，周围还有一条狭窄的水道。在这些田野之间是分散的房屋和棚屋。在以前的稻田上，我们计划建造一栋一层楼的房子，供我们的同事四口之家居住。

Text description provided by the architects. The mountainside property is surrounded by vast rice paddies and fields for growing vegetables, and a narrow waterway winding around them. Between these fields are scattered houses and sheds. On what was previously a rice paddy, we planned to build a one-story house to be lived in by our coworker's family of four.

首先，我们把一个17x10米的屋顶放在楼盘的中央。其次，通过保持一个14x6.4m的单跨钢框架稍微倾斜，为了支撑屋顶，我们能够建造一个大型的单一结构。

Firstly, we placed a 17 x 10 m roof in the middle of the property. Next, by keeping a 14 x 6.4 m one-span steel frame slightly angled, in order to support the roof, we were able to construct a large single structure.

然后，在结构下面，我们放置了地板，嵌套的房间，家具和窗帘，分别给出了方向。他们被框架包围，框架由薄钢材料、木和玻璃制成的外墙组成。实心钢支柱，由木头和玻璃制成的外墙(32×50毫米)或窗帘(30×30毫米)的数目很大，所以尺寸很小。相比之下，支撑大屋顶的方形钢管柱(250×250 mm)数量很少，但我们可以通过它们的大尺寸来识别这一空间的方向。

And then, below the structure, we placed floor, nested rooms, furniture and curtains, giving a direction, respectively. They are surrounded with the frame which consisted of thin steel materials, exterior walls made of wood and glass. Solid steel props, of exterior walls made of wood and glass ( 32 x 50 mm ) or of curtains ( 30 x 30mm ) are large in number, so the dimensions of them are small. In contrast, square tubular steel columns ( 250 x 250 mm ) supporting the large roof are few in number, yet we can recognize the direction of this space by their large dimensions.

关于这一地区的水流特征，人们建造了他们的棚屋、房屋、电线、管理树木防风林和农田。从简化这些具体的自然地貌和配合当地人民的生活，我们构成了环境因素。根据这些环境要素的特点，我们构成了适合的建筑元素。

In regard to how the flow of water has characterized this area, people have built their sheds, houses, electrical wires, and managed tree windbreaks, and fields. From simplifying these specific natural land formations and following coordination of people's lives in the area, we composed environmental elements. Based on the characteristics of these environmental elements, we composed fitting architectural elements.

这一空间不仅具有房子的特点，而且还具有景观的特征。通过这个项目，我们规划了“生活在一个环境中”的情况，而不是“住在房子里”的情况。

This space has revealed itself as not only having the characteristics of a house, but having those of a landscape. Through this project, we planned the situation of "living in an environment," rather than, "living in a house."
