Float House is a family home designed by architect Benjamin Garcia Saxe in Puntarenas, Costa Rica.

浮子屋是建筑师本杰明·加西亚·萨克斯(Benjamin Garcia Saxe)在哥斯达黎加邦塔雷纳斯设计的一套家庭住宅。

Description by Benjamin Garcia Saxe: The Gooden-Nahome family wanted to create their family home on the Pacific Coast of Costa Rica and found an incredible site overlooking the ocean.

BenjaminGarciaSaxe的描述：GoodenNahome家族想要在哥斯达黎加的太平洋海岸创建他们的家庭住宅，并发现一个令人难以置信的位置，可以俯瞰海洋。

The biggest constraint we encountered was that the site was predominantly on a very steep slope, and the view of the ocean was captured only at the mid-upper portion of the site. We saw this not as a negative aspect but rather saw an opportunity of exploring together an architecture that was appropriate for this kind of conditions. Together we explored possibilities of creating large retaining walls and cutting back the soil in order to place the house, a technique used by most houses around the area.

我们遇到的最大限制是，这个地点主要是在一个非常陡峭的斜坡上，而海景只在遗址的中上层拍摄。我们并不认为这是一个消极的方面，而是看到了一个共同探索适合于这种情况的架构的机会。我们一起探索了建造大型挡土墙和减少土壤以安置房屋的可能性，这是该地区大多数房屋所使用的技术。

Ultimately, we decided to do the exact opposite and actually allow the slope, the earth, the vegetation, water, and animals to flow underneath the house. We then floated the house up in the air and by doing this we managed to save on the immense cost of creating soil retention walls around the site.

最终，我们决定做完全相反的事情，让斜坡、土地、植被、水和动物在房子下面流动。然后我们把房子漂浮在空中，通过这样做，我们成功地节省了在场地周围建造土壤保持墙的巨大成本。

This almost common sense and obvious decision created a very light touch intervention that allows the terrain to breathe whilst providing a spectacular view to the ocean from the key location on the site.

这几乎是常识和明显的决定创造了一个非常轻的触摸干预，让地形呼吸，同时提供一个壮观的海洋从关键位置的网站。

Float House is created out of modules that are repetitive and linked by flying bridges that hover over the landscape. As the house had to be built on a steep slope, many of the pieces were prefabricated and craned up to position. We not only standardized a repetition of living modules which can continue to grow and be added in time, but also created a repetition of the primary structural elements in order to ease the time and effort of construction.

浮标屋是由重复的模块创建的，这些模块是通过悬停在景观上的飞桥连接起来的。由于房子必须建在陡峭的斜坡上，许多碎片都是预制的，并伸长到适当的位置。我们不仅规范了可持续增长和及时增加的生活单元的重复，而且还创造了主要结构要素的重复，以减少建造的时间和精力。

The result is that of a prefab home that floats above the earth, allows for its natural environment to continue to grow and change, and captures an astounding ocean view. For us it is a great pleasure to know that with common sense, creativity, and clever engineering, we managed to create a unique home in a seemingly impossible location.

其结果是一个漂浮在地球上空的预制家园，允许它的自然环境继续生长和变化，并捕捉到令人震惊的海洋景观。对我们来说，我们非常高兴地知道，凭借常识、创造力和巧妙的工程，我们成功地在一个看似不可能的地方创造了一个独特的家。
