架构师提供的文本描述。位于阿利堡马哈拉施特拉邦的山麓，远离繁忙的孟买城市生活。这块地块是一块干燥、贫瘠的干涸的土地。当我第一次看到它的时候，有两棵孤零零的树，远处的山丘和干燥的田野，一直延伸到天空，到处都是。

Text description provided by the architects. Set on the foothills of Maharashtra in Alibaug, far away from the busy city life of Mumbai. The plot was a dry barren piece of parched earth. When I first saw it, there were two lonely trees; a view of the hills in the distance and dry fields all the way to the sky, all around. © Edmund Sumner

在那灼热的酷热中，只有一个愿望-- 被引诱回到熟悉的黑暗、寒冷、平静之中。

In that scorching heat, there was only one desire- to be lulled back into that familiar dark, cold, calmness.

印度南部的四合院很好地做到了这一点，它的总体低矮的屋顶和一个中央庭院围绕着房间。

The courtyard house of southern India does this well, with its overarching low slung roofs and a central courtyard around which the rooms surround.

这座房子是从这里开始的。

The idea of the house began here.
