架构师提供的文本描述。三卷简单的书在沙漠上空盘旋，以应对坡地的挑战和以最小程度破坏自然环境的建筑伦理。

Text description provided by the architects. Three simple volumes hover above the desert, responding to the challenges of a sloping site and to an ethic of building with minimal disruption to the natural environment.

可用的可建区域是由一条小排水道分叉的，这激发了建筑师们把汽车留在后面，并通过一座桥将停车场与主房子连接起来，这座桥允许雨水和野生动物在其下方流动。

The available buildable area was bifurcated by a minor drainage-way, which inspired the architects to leave the cars behind and link the parking area to the main house by a bridge that allows rainwater and wildlife to flow beneath it.

悬臂式混凝土板使房屋能够垂直于地形运行，以获得最佳的太阳曝光率、交叉通风和框架视图。同时，地下为沙漠动物提供了阴凉的避难所。

Cantilevered concrete slabs enabled the house to run perpendicular to the topography for optimal solar exposure, for cross-ventilation, and to frame views. Meanwhile, the underside provides shady refuge for desert animals.

管状的形状把沙漠景观变成更容易理解的小插曲，就像一个摄影师的广场，庆祝城市灯光的自然环境和景色，主人甚至没有意识到它们的存在。

The tubular forms crop the desert landscape into more intelligible vignettes much like a photographer’s square, celebrating the natural setting and view of the city lights the owner did not even realize they had.
