架构师提供的文本描述。棕榈岛项目位于重庆北部棕榈湖和太平水库的岸边，是哈塞尔设计的一个新的接待区。

Text description provided by the architects. Located to the north of Chongqing on the banks of Palm Lake and the Taiping Reservoir, the Palm Island project is a new hospitality precinct designed by HASSELL.

设计的关键要素是水，它与光线和反射融为一体的工程概念。从远处看，容纳六家不同餐馆的五栋建筑似乎浮在湖面上，这是棕榈泉房地产开发项目的独特特色。

The key element of the design is water and it has been melded with light and reflections for the project concept. When viewed from afar, the five buildings housing six different restaurants appear to float on the lake, which is the unique feature of the project by Palm Springs Real Estate Development.

每家餐厅的顾客都可以欣赏到一边的自然水景，另一面是私人的“水庭”，通过创造无限的游泳池式的水功能，将其视觉上融为一体。这给人一种建筑感觉，即建筑物是漂浮在水面上的。

Patrons at each restaurant enjoy views of natural water vistas on one side and a private `water courtyard' on the other, integrated visually through the creation of an infinity pool-style water feature. This gives the architectural impression that the buildings are 'floating' on water.

设计师们从位于长江和嘉陵江汇合处的重庆地理中汲取灵感，将重庆称为“两条河流相连”的城市。

The designers drew inspiration from the geography of Chongqing, which sits at the convergence of the mighty Yangtze River and Jialing River, giving the city its nickname of being 'connected by two rivers'.

棕榈泉还具有独特的相互作用水晶般的玻璃结构和外部白色陶瓷覆盖，与湖水互动，以散发出音乐的品质。白天不断变化的反射会给夜晚的梦幻般的品质带来改变。

Palm Spring also features the unique interplay of crystal-like glass structure and an external white ceramic covering that interacts with the lake waters to give off a musical quality. The ever-changing reflections during the day give change to a dreamlike quality at night.
