Local Materials: Stones from the Adjacent Slope

A house built with materials sourced from its site. The stone for the walls is quarried from the same plot or an adjacent hillside, with colors and textures identical to the surrounding exposed rock formations, stacked horizontally using dry-stack or rough-joint methods. The rammed earth's color matches the local soil. Consequently, the building almost merges with the rock face in the distant view, distinguishable only by the roof's curve and the glass's reflection. Avoid: using imported stone unrelated to the surrounding geology, cutting stone into regular blocks, using cultured stone or imitation stone veneers, or creating a strong color contrast between the building and its environment.

一棟用基地材料蓋的房子。牆體的石材是從同一塊地或鄰近山坡採來的,顏色與紋理跟周圍露出的岩層完全一樣,以乾砌或粗縫的方式水平堆疊;夯土的顏色就是這裡土壤的顏色。因此建築在遠景裡幾乎與岩壁融成一體,只有屋頂的曲線與玻璃的反光分辨得出來。避免:使用與周圍地質無關的進口石材、把石材切成規則的方塊、使用文化石與仿石貼片、讓建築的顏色跟環境形成強烈對比。
