架构师提供的文本描述。在一个贫瘠的高原上，一所房子被高高地埋在地上，由四堵黑色玄武岩墙保护着，这些墙围绕着一个阴凉的庭院，里面的水池、亭子和花园为人们提供了栖身之所。Utsav的房子是Satirje的一个家庭住宅，Alibag从孟买乘船经过很短的路程。

这些空间沿着周围的墙壁布置，用来定义和支撑房屋的结构。不同的高度是为了适应内部的功能和尺寸。

The spaces are arranged along the periphery walls that define and support the structures of the house. Different heights are created to suit the functions and dimensions of the interiors.

建筑采用混凝土板、玄武岩石墙和木结构，而墙壁和地板则用彩色水泥灰泥染色，以模拟夏季干燥的草本植物，使建筑物成为景观。

 Concrete slabs, basalt stone walls and wood for framing are used to construct the buildings, while walls and floor are stained in pigmented cement plaster to mimic the dry grasses of the summer, setting the buildings into the landscape.

居住空间对西南风开放，并由一个大屋顶保护着不受阳光和雨水的影响。在院子的中央，有一个长而窄的水池，类似于当地的灌溉罐，用来捕捉雨水流入花园。

The living spaces open to the southwesterly breeze, and are protected from the sun and rain by a large roof. At the centre of the courtyard, a long narrow pool similar to the local irrigation tanks, serves to catch rainwater that overflows into the garden.

房子内的不同层次提供了视野开阔的视野，环绕着群山，而内部景观则提供了亲密和避难所。

The different levels within the house offer unobstructed views of the horizon and encircling hills, while inward views provide intimacy and refuge.
