架构师提供的文本描述。位于印度拉贾斯坦邦一家水泥厂的边缘，这座房子的设计是为了适应夏季平均气温45摄氏度的气候。有机辐射混凝土体积的不同比例，从中央，开放到天空，庭院创造了一系列雕塑空间在这座房子。

Text description provided by the architects. Located at the edge of a cement plant in Rajasthan, India, the house is designed in response to a climate with long summer months of 45oC average temperature. Organically radiating concrete volumes of varied proportions from central open to sky courtyards create a sculpted series of spaces in this house.

从原则上讲，这种布局让人联想到印度传统的四合院，它们创造了一个更凉爽的环境，以对抗极端炎热的气候。每个生活空间都是定向的，通过深凹的开口来捕捉两侧不断变化的景观，这些开口形成了内部和外部之间的临时遮蔽空间，同时大大减少了对内部空间的热量增益。

The layout is evocative in principle of traditional Indian courtyard houses that create a cooler environment within to battle the extreme heat of the climate. Each of the living spaces is oriented to capture the changing landscape on each side through deeply recessed openings that form transitory sheltered spaces between the inside and the outside while considerably reducing the heat gain to the internal spaces.

此外，大多数房间开放到有隐私的隐蔽花园空间，这些空间是在外面用草覆盖的泥土护堤创建的。从某种意义上说，这将内部庭院空间转化为外部庭院空间，创造了凉爽的外部空间。

In addition, most rooms open onto sheltered garden spaces with privacy which are created with grass covered earth berms, externally. This translates the internal courtyard space as an external courtyard space in a sense, creating cool external spaces.

虽然客户的大部分广泛需求都安排在一个大的中央庭院周围，但更多的客房位于一个较小的庭院，两者都通过一个开放的走廊连接起来。每个浴室和更衣室都要开放到小庭园外的庭院里。

While most of the extensive requirements of the client are arranged around a large central courtyard, additional guest rooms are located along a smaller courtyard, both being linked through an open corridor. Each of the bathrooms and dressing areas too, open onto small landscaped external courtyards.

在不同的角度与体积的变化，房子建造几乎完全在裸露的混凝土创造了雕塑的存在。每一个内部空间与开放的、封闭的和半封闭的空间有一个独特的身份，随着一个人在房子内或每一个房间内的移动而不断变化。规划确保了房屋内每一个空间的交叉通风。这一方面，随着大的内部庭院花园的创建，较小的外部庭院空间和深凹的窗户创造了一所内部比外部要冷得多的房子，使得它非常节能。

Angled in different directions with volumetric variation, the house is built almost entirely in exposed concrete creating a sculptural presence. Each of its internal spaces have a unique identity with open, enclosed and semi-enclosed spaces, constantly changing in relation as one moves within the house or within each of its rooms. The planning ensures cross ventilation for every space within the house. This aspect along with the creation of the large internal courtyard gardens, the smaller external courtyard spaces and deep recessed windows creates a house that is much cooler internally than the exterior making it extremely energy efficient.

之所以选择混凝土，是因为它在水泥厂这一场址内的可达性以及它的热性能。这座建筑外观具有标志性和雕塑性，但对气候和周边环境很敏感。内部庭院和露台周围都是巨大的土堆，给用户留下隐私，给内部空间以固定的阴影。

Concrete was chosen for its accessibility from within the site that is a cement plant as well as for its thermal properties. The building is iconic and sculptural in appearance yet sensitive to its climate and adjoining surroundings. The internal courtyards and terraces are surrounded with large earth mounds which give privacy to the user and constant shade to the internal spaces.

由于客户的要求，这座相对较大的房屋是针对其所在地区的沙漠气候而设计的，其建造方式是可持续的，在整个房屋内为自然通风提供便利，并尽量减少热量的增加，以提高其能源效率。

This relatively large house, due to the client requirements, is designed in response to the desert climate of its location and is built sustainably with natural ventilation being facilitated throughout the house and minimized heat gain to increase its energy efficiency.
