架构师提供的文本描述。龙多里诺住宅是T-模块的原型，这是一种由NottScalale设计的预制建筑系统，于2002年首次开发。

Text description provided by the architects. The Rondolino residence is the prototype of the T-modulome, a prefabricated building system by nottoscale that was first developed in 2002.

来自意大利罗马的独立作家和作家FabrizioRondolino委托NottScalale在内华达州斯科蒂交界处附近的一片孤立的土地上建造T-模体。在经历了几次挑战之后，由于场地的偏远和当地承包商的狂野西部心态，这座建筑终于在2010年12月完工。在整个过程中，客户端和架构师仅通过电子邮件进行交流，甚至没有见过面，也没有交谈过一次-直到今天还没有见过面。

Fabrizio Rondolino, an independent writer and author from Rome, Italy commissioned nottoscale to build the T-modulome on an isolated stretch of land in the Nevada desert near Scotty’s Junction. After a couple of challenges that we faced due to the remoteness of the site and the Wild West mentality of the local contractors, the building was finally completed in December of 2010. During the entire process the client and architect solely communicated via e-mail and did not even meet or talk once – and to this day have not met in person.

这片土地位于内华达高地沙漠，靠近斯科蒂的交汇处，远离任何基础设施，也不是任何邻居，这就是为什么我们必须挖一条土路，挖一口井，建一个水蛭田，并给现场带来电力。在现场呆了几天后，诺特斯代尔将建筑布置成一种能够充分利用周围景色、现有风型和太阳轨迹的方式。

The site is an isolated piece of land in the Nevada High Desert near Scotty’s Junction and is far from any infrastructure or for that matter any neighbor, which is why we had to scrape a dirt path to the site, dig a well, create a leech filed and bring electricity to the site. After spending several days on the site, nottoscale situated the building in such a way as to take full advantage of the surrounding views, existing wind patterns and the trajectory of the sun.

客户喜欢沙漠，并希望在这片孤立的高沙漠地带建立一个度假屋，通过视觉扩展到周围的景观，提供令人惊叹的景观，同时也使沙漠成为室内的一部分-将内部与外部融合在一起。

The client loves the desert and wanted a vacation home in the middle of this isolated stretch of high desert that incorporates the vistas by visually expanding into the surrounding landscape, providing stunning views, while also making the desert part of the interiors – merging the inside with the outside.

主要的设计考虑之一是利用景观，给主人一种置身于沙漠中的感觉，即使他在屋内也是如此。这就是为什么我们在所有的生活区都引入了大地板到天花板的窗户，并在一个混凝土桥墩上将建筑物抬高，这似乎是从沙漠景观中冒出来的，同时可以俯瞰风景。这给用户的印象是漂浮的，但还没有完全沉浸在沙漠的景观中。我们也非常注意如何放置窗户，使之成为景观的特殊方面-例如，厨房里又长又低的窗户，构成了一个美丽的山脉，只有坐在餐桌前才能看到。

One of the main design considerations was to take advantage of the views and to give the owner the feeling to be in the middle of the desert even though when he is inside the home. This is why we introduced large floor to ceiling windows in all living quarters and raised the building on a concrete plinth which seems to emerge out of the desert landscape while overlooking the scenery. This gives the user the impression to float over, yet to be completely immersed into the desert landscape. We also took great care how to place windows so that they frame special aspects of the landscape – the long and low window in the kitchen for example frames a beautiful mountain range which one can only see while sitting down at the dining table.

这栋房子本身有1200 SF，有3间卧室、两间浴室、一间办公室、一间储藏室和一间公用室，以及一个大的开放式厨房、餐厅和客厅，当大滑动门打开时，客厅面积可以延伸到甲板上。为了尽量减少所建的信封，封闭的房间保持相对较小，而9英尺-0英寸的天花板加上从地板到天花板的窗户，使空间显得宽敞和充满了光线，同时在视觉上扩展和连接内部与沙漠景观。

The house itself measures 1,200 sf, has 3 bedrooms, two bathrooms, an office, a storage and utility room as well as a large open kitchen, dining room, living room area that can extend onto the deck when the large sliding doors are opened. In order to minimize the built envelope the enclosed rooms are kept relatively small while a 9’-0” ceiling together with floor to ceiling windows make the space seem spacious and flooded with light, while visually expanding and connecting the interiors with the desert landscape.

一个大型900 SF甲板与一个沉入热水浴缸连接两个建筑模块，同时创建一个过渡区之间的内部和外部，通过使用大的全高度玻璃滑动门可以完全打开，以便建筑物内外无缝融合，如果你愿意的话。

A large 900 sf deck with a sunken-in hot tub connects the two building modules while creating a transition zone between the inside and outside that through the use of large full height glass sliding doors can be completely opened so that the outside and inside of the building seamlessly merge if one desires so.

建筑物本身就坐落在一个巨大的混凝土基座上，将建筑物提升到沙漠地面之上，这样它就会浮在地面上，同时将它从洪水水位中提出来。被动冷却的概念，如交叉和堆叠通风，遮阳，建筑的方向，在整个项目被使用。

The building itself sits on a large concrete plinth elevating the building above the desert floor so that it appears to float above the ground while lifting it out of the flash-flood water level. Passive cooling concepts such as cross and stack ventilation, shading, building orientation were used throughout the project.

房屋的方向是要利用盛行的风，通过交叉通风和烟囱通风，保持室内舒适的温度，避免需要高能耗的空调系统。朝南的窗户被甲板上的大格子遮住，而所有卧室的窗户都朝北，以防止发热。房子下面的大爬行空间兼具储存空间和气候缓冲的双重功能，因为它充满了砾石，这有助于全年保持在房屋以下的较低的平均温度。

The House is oriented in such a way as to take advantage of prevailing winds that, through cross and stack ventilation, maintain a comfortable temperature in the house, avoiding the need for an highly energy intensive air conditioning system. The windows facing south are shaded by the large trellis on the deck while all the bedroom windows are facing north in order to prevent heat-gain. The large crawlspace under the house double functions as storage space as well as a climate buffer as it is filled with gravel that helps to maintain a low average temperature below the house throughout the year.

房子是用高绝缘的SIP板建造的，并且用辐射加热系统加热，如果客户想这样做，可以很容易地升级到辐射冷却系统。为了尽量减少建筑物的物理和碳足迹，采用了各种可持续的系统和方法。

The house is built with high insulating SIP panels and is heated with a radiant heating system that can easily be upgraded to a radiant cooling system if the client desires to do so. Various sustainable systems and approaches were used in order to minimize the physical as well as the carbon footprint of the building.

建筑师不仅为整栋房子提供家具，还提供了所有住宿所需的物品，如设备齐全的厨房、立体声系统、洗衣机、警报系统和工具，这样，客户到家时只需带衣服和食物。把这里变成真正关键的度假之家。

The architect did not only furnish the entire house but also provided all items that are needed for a stay such as a fully equipped kitchen, stereo system, washing machine, alarm system and tools, so that the client only needs to bring his clothing and food when he comes to the house. Making this a truly turn key vacation home.
