作为当今的需要，一种极简主义的近乎净零的生活，这是一种努力，以激励人们重新适应可持续的生活实践，受到过去…..。精华–地球之家展示了建筑环境在解决全球气候危机方面的机会。我们有意识地决定通过努力建造一个由夯土和其他从现场挖掘出来的天然材料组成的纯正住宅，来编织大自然。
Being the need of the day, a minimalist near net zero living, this is an effort to inspire people to readapt to sustainable living practices influenced by the past….. Essence – The Earth house demonstrates the built environment’s opportunities for addressing the global climate crisis. We have taken a conscientious decision to weave in nature through its effort to construct a net positive home comprised of Rammed Earth along with other natural materials excavated from the site.
地点–位于广阔的农田之中，地球屋旨在将其栖息地和自然环境完美地融合在一起。3000平方英尺的建筑有一个建筑表皮，厚厚的土墙可以减少太阳热量的吸收，并在古吉拉特邦的热带气候下保持比外面低7到10度的温度。
Location – Located amidst expansive farmlands, the Earth house aims to blend seamlessly among its habitat and natural environment. The 3000 square foot construction has a building skin, thick with Earth walls that reduce solar heat gain and maintain a temperate 7 to 10 degrees cooler than the outside in the Tropical climate of Gujarat.
布局–布局是一个简单的三间卧室和生活空间，两边分开，有一个游泳池和一个凉亭的休闲空间。建筑物的尺寸是最佳的，在场地上留下最小的足迹。 这个可持续发展的乡村别墅还有一个倾斜的屋顶，旨在最大限度地捕捉太阳能，以补充和生产空间的电力。
Layout – The layout is a simple one of three bedrooms and living space separated on either side with the leisure space of a pool and a Gazebo. The building size is optimum and leaves a minimal footprint on the site area. The sustainable country house also has an inclined roof targeted at capturing maximum solar energy to replenish and produce electricity for the space.
能源–除了积极的可持续设计外，地球屋还采用了被动的可持续策略，如考虑太阳的方向，将房子朝向北方，以获得最佳的日光和自然通风，从长远来看，减少房子的能源需求。
Energy – Along with being an active Sustainable design, the Earth House also adopts passive sustainable strategies such as considering sun orientation and sitting the house to face North for optimum daylight and natural ventilation that reduces energy requirements for the house in the long run.
景观 – 景观的选择是当地的，精心选择当地的植物，这必然会减少灌溉需求，增加了被动能源策略。这个净零住宅的周围还有宫胁森林、有机农场和芒果园，这些令人印象深刻的树叶为屋顶遮阳，减少了建筑内的太阳辐射热。地球屋自己生产食物、电力并从丰富的降雨中收集水。
Landscape – Landscaping choices were native to the area, carefully selecting plants local to the place, which inevitably reduces irrigation needs, adding to the passive energy strategy. This net zero home also surrounds itself with Miyawaki forest, Organic farm and Mango orchard with impressive foliage that shades the roof, reducing solar heat gain inside the building. The Earth house produces its own food, electricity and harvested water from the abundant rainfall.
材料 – 为了提高可持续性，我们确保从使用对环境负责的制造技术和回收材料的公司购买所有的家具和饰面材料。石笼网墙中的岩石是当地现成的岩石，用来固定房屋，为其提供足够的隐私，同时本身也是一个雕塑。
Materiality – To up the ante on sustainability, we made sure to purchase all materials for furniture and finishes from companies that use environmentally responsible manufacturing techniques and recycled materials. Rocks in Gabion walls are local rocks readily available that are used to secure the house providing it sufficient privacy as well as be a sculpture in itself.
可持续发展–随着气候变化的影响，协调我们的努力，尽量减少我们的碳足迹，促进城市的绿化，变得越来越重要。有意识地努力不仅要平衡形式与功能，而且最重要的是要对环境负责和可持续发展，这是本设计的核心。
Sustainability – As climate change takes effect, it becomes more and more vital to concert our efforts toward minimizing our carbon footprint and promote the greening of our cities. A conscious effort to not only balance form with function, but to most importantly be environmentally responsible and sustainable was the crux of this design.
