与自然联系：泰国 山顶住宅

项目位于泰国最大的国家公园Khaoyai国家公园的边缘，设计围绕着岩石和森林景观展开。项目是一个大场地中的小房子，总用地面积约为8000平方米，客户提出的要求是简单地设计一个350平方米的房子，并为它找到最佳的落地位置，我们将房子放在端紧邻着Khaoyai公园一处的安静的场地上，这里有一堆废弃的大块石头，还有几棵巨大的榕树。

Located on the edge of Thailand's largest national park, Khaoyai National Park, the design for the Hilltop House revolved around the rocky and forested landscape. Hilltop House is a small house in a big plot of land; the total site area is approximately 8,000 sq.m. The first requirement from the client was simply to design a 350 sq.m. house, and find the best spot for it. The remote end of the land was adjacent to Khaoyai Nation Park, and is home to a pile of 40 years old abandoned chunks of rocks, and couple of magnificent full-grown Ficus tree.

客户的要求是设计一个带有生活配套设施的单卧室住宅。这是一个非常简单的要求，因此提供了大量的机会来探索不同方面的关系和联系：一个房间和另一个房间之间的联系、从户外到室内空间的联系，以及从人造元素到自然元素的联系。

The client's following brief was to design a single bedroom house with necessary supporting facilities. It was a simple brief with a tremendous opportunity to explore various aspects of relationships and connections, between a room and another room, out-door to in-door space, from man-made elements and natural elements.

本着对自然的谦逊态度，尽可能多地掌握现场信息是非常重要的。对场地进行了非常详细的测量，每一个元素，每一块石头和每一棵树都被仔细记录下来。从最初的设计概念开始，现有的元素就被纳入其中，并在最后成为建筑的一部分。

With a humble approach to nature, it was very important to have as much information about site as possible. The very detailed measurements of the site, and its every element, every stone and every tree were carefully recorded. The existing elements were included in from initial design concept, and became part of the architecture at the end.

整体的结构概念是基于尽量减少柱子和基座的形态，将房子架空在石头堆之上，留下大部分的石头和场地现有的轮廓。基础材料是原始的混凝土表面和水泥砂浆，以表达建筑材料的原始 “自然”，有助于避免涂料对热带雨林周围高湿度的问题。

The overall structural concept was based on very few columns and footings, elevating the house above the pile of stones, leaving most of the stones and existing contours untouched. Base materials were raw concrete surface and cement screed to express the raw "nature" of construction materials, and helped to avoid problems with paint against the high humidity of tropical rain forest surrounding.

对已有的石块经过仔细测量，在入口处，我们增加了一些混凝土台阶，作为步道使用。施工过程中，大量的测量工作、草图绘制和调整都必须在现场进行。设计组的所有努力最终完成了这座建筑，它看起来就像是被“种植”在场地上一样，并且作为周围岩石和树木的一部分而生长。

Existing stone was carefully measured and used as entrance pathway, some concrete steps were added to compete a functional walking path. A lot of measurement work, sketches, and adjustments had to be done on site throughout the construction period. All the hard work and great effort from the design team resulted in the completed architecture, that looked as if it had been planted, and growing there as part of the surrounding rocks and trees.
