架构师提供的文本描述。离孟买不太远的车程，一片被称为西高帽子的山地景观上升。从这个联合国教科文组织的世界遗产区，无数的河流和溪流在起伏的地形下流淌下来，最终流入孟买。

Text description provided by the architects. Not a long drive away from Mumbai, a mountainous landscape rises up, called the Western Ghats. From this UNESCO world heritage area, numerous rivers and streams find their way down through an undulating landscape eventually feeding into the Bombay bay.

河岸的房子就在一座丘顶的下面，就在山脚下。一处植被茂盛的屋顶顶部与小丘顶部融为一体，使房子远离东侧的接近。在房子里，人们仍然可以欣赏到伊尔沙加德山要塞北面和西边日落的景色，而河流则蜿蜒穿过农田。

The Riparian House is placed just below the top of a hillock at the foothills of the Ghats. The top of a vegetated roof merges with the top of the hillock, hiding the house from the approach on the east side. Inside the house one can nevertheless enjoy the views to the north of the Irshalgad hill fortress and towards the west the sunset while the river winds its way across the agricultural fields.

由于大部分的地点是陡坡与1：4的坡度，植被屋顶给房子一个额外的可用面积。从顶部看，这似乎是自然景观的延伸，增强了房子的不自然状态。绿色的盖子能使房子保持在凉爽以下，因为它具有绝缘特性。

Since the most of the site is steeply sloping with a 1:4 gradient, the vegetated roof gives the house an additional usable area. From the top it seems to be an extension of the natural landscape, enhancing the under-statedness of the house. The green cover serves to keep the house below cool due to its insulative properties.
