架构师提供的文本描述。从一个高沙漠山坡，在崎岖的火山岩和扭曲的杜松树，佛教隐居上升，向一个壮观的风景，国会礁国家公园。除了作为第二居所的功能外，犹他州格罗弗的这座住宅还被设计成藏传佛教的沙漠避难所。它的目的是将日常活动与特殊时刻交织在一起，这些时刻通常被保留在精神仪式上，从而提高和圣化生活的行为。无论是描绘一棵古老的小松树的细节，还是延伸到一幅环绕全景的空间，佛教隐士的目的都是为了创造丰富多样的生活瞬间。

Text description provided by the architects. Emanating from a high-desert hillside amidst rugged volcanic rock and twisted juniper trees the Buddhist Retreat rises up and out toward a spectacular view Capitol Reef National Park.  In addition to its function as a secondary residence, this dwelling in Grover, Utah was designed to be a desert sanctuary for Tibetan Buddhist practice.  Its intent is to intertwine everyday activities with singular moments that are typically reserved for spiritual rituals, thus heightening and sanctifying the act of living.  Whether it be framing the detail of an ancient pinion pine or extending out into the spatial expanse of a wrapping panorama, the Buddhist Retreat's purpose is to creating rich and diverse moments of living.

当地势向下面的青翠山谷倾斜时，房子的入口甲板与地面齐平，水平延伸到公园的红色岩石入口。其结果是一个空间，暂停用户在一个伟大的时刻共修，自由和清楚的视觉和精神障碍。

Flush with the ground at the top of the site, the entry deck of the house projects horizontally out into space toward the red rock gateway of the park as the topography slopes down toward the verdant valley below.  The result is a space that suspends the user in a grand moment for group meditation, free and clear of visual and mental obstruction.

通过甲板，用户向下进入一个由上面的甲板遮住沙漠阳光的空间。与此形成鲜明对比的亲密时刻构成了遗址最突出的细节：一边是一簇崎岖的松树，另一边是暴露的火山岩。进入房子后，主要的居住空间再一次通过一个从地面到天花板，墙对墙框架的绿色山谷和红色高原向外看。可操作的玻璃墙消失，进一步模糊了内部和外部的界线，功能和性质。

Down through the deck the user descends toward the entry into a space shaded from the desert sun by the deck above.  This contrastingly intimate moment frames the most prominent details of the site: clusters of rugged junipers on one side, and exposed volcanic rocks on the other. Entering into the house, the main living space again directs the view outward through a floor-to-ceiling, wall-to-wall frame of the lush green valley and red plateau beyond.  The operable glass wall disappears to further blur the line between interior and exterior, function and nature.

主人和客人的卧室再次努力创造对比，围绕着墙壁，古老的小齿轮松树，就在窗户和玻璃门。上升到一个充满活力的红色螺旋楼梯，一个有山脊景观的倾斜空间，把办公室和冥想圣地结合在一起。

The master and guest bedrooms again endeavor to create contrast enclosing the view by walls ancient pinion pines just beyond the windows and glass doors. Ascending up a vibrant red spiral stair, a lofted space with a ridgeline-view combines the office with a shrine for meditation.

支撑冥想甲板的主要外墙覆盖着在现场和当地附近发现的充满火山岩石的石堡笼。岩石不仅在视觉上把撤退与现场联系在一起，还通过热质量和增加的表面积吸收和驱散炎热的夏季太阳的热量。甲板由天然耐用的ipe木制成，经得起严酷的沙漠条件，并充当双屋顶系统，以减少太阳热量的增加。站立接缝钢提供了弹性对位与其他坚固的材料，以及网站的美丽粗糙性质。代替A/C，一个可操作的天窗和整个房扇放置在楼梯间顶部，创造一个热烟囱来排出热风，而低可操作的窗户再供给冷风和交叉通风。光伏屋顶面板为偏远的房屋供电，而现场的水井则提供最纯净的饮用水。在分析时，该结构超过了最高的能量星评级。

The main exterior walls supporting the meditation deck are clad in gabion cages filled with volcanic rock found at the site and the local vicinity.  The rock not only ties the retreat to the site visually, but also absorbs and dissipates  heat from the hot summer sun through thermal mass and increased surface area.  The deck, made of naturally durable ipe wood, withstands harsh desert conditions and acts as a double roof system to mitigate solar heat gain.  Standing seam steel offers a resilient counterpoint to the other rugged materials as well as the site's beautifully rough nature.  In lieu of A/C an operable skylight and whole house fan placed at the top of the stairwell create a heat chimney for exhausting hot air while low operable windows resupply with cooler air and cross ventilation.  Photovoltaic roof panels supply the remote house with power while an onsite well supplies the purest of drinking water.  When analyzed, the structure exceeds the highest EnergyStar  rating.

在内部，当地来源的材料在整个过程中使用。博物馆的白色墙壁和深色混凝土地板充当中性帆布，主人将通过自己选择的家具、当地艺术品和精神用具，在上面涂上颜色。

On the interior, locally sourced materials are used throughout.  The museum white walls and dark concrete floors act as neutral canvas onto which the owner  will apply color through her own selection of furniture, local artwork, and spiritual paraphernalia.
