这座别墅的故事是由它的位置开始的。穿过河边挤满核桃树、樱桃树和杏树的美丽花园，我们面对的是山边的一个巨大的花园，在小巷的尽头可以看到公路和南部平原的美景。
The story of this villa was initiated by its location. Passing through beautiful gardens packed with walnut, cherry and apricot trees alongside the river, we were faced with a vast garden next to the mountain with great views to the road and southern plains at the end of the alley…
我们的任务是在位于城市入口处的背景下创造一个独特的建筑作为纪念碑。概念的形成是考虑到背景建筑对原始花园的影响最小，并寻求与自然环境的密切关系。最后，我们设计并建造了一个名为 “灰色别墅 “的别墅，它不仅在本质上以传统的方式与自然相联系，而且还试图以现代的方式与环境发生互动。
The commission was to create a distinctive building as a monument in a context exactly located on the city entrance. Formation of the concept was to consider contextual architecture with the least influence on the virgin garden and to seek for close relationship with the natural environment. Finally, a villa was designed and built named Grey Villa which not only essentially relates to the nature in a traditional way, but also is trying to have interaction with the context in a modern way.
不规则的岩石和高耸的山峰促使我们设计一个轻盈有序的项目来尊重周围的环境。利用玄武岩石材作为乡土材料，丰富了与环境的联系。使用灰色的颜色和灰色的纪念性的体量引起了一个中性的内容。尽管整个建筑体的外观有各种减法和加法，但该建筑仍试图与环境相融合。该建筑有可能受益于各个方向的日光，从而创造出不同的色调和阴影。它还享有北部高地以及南部平原、河流和主要道路的美景。
Irregular rocks and soaring mountains leaded us to design a light and orderly project to respect the surrounding environment. Utilizing basalt stone as a vernacular material enriched this connection with the context. Using the grey color and the grey monumental volume induces a neutral content. The building tries to unite to the context, despite formal appearance of the whole volume with various subtractions and additions. The construction has the potential to benefit daylight in all directions which creates different shades and shadows. It also enjoys great views over northern heights as well as southern plains, river and the main road.
空间组织是在20平方米的总面积上形成的，一楼和二楼在4个方向有2米的悬挑，这导致了100平方米的建筑面积。一楼是客厅和厨房，可以通过院子里的两个轻质金属楼梯进入。一楼和二楼由一个悬臂楼梯连接，以解决总面积的难题，满足空间要求，并在塑造建筑形式方面发挥了基本作用。上面的楼梯通向屋顶，屋顶作为自然风景的观察面。
Spatial organisation is formed in 20 square meter gross area with 2-meter cantilevers on the first and second floor in 4 directions which leads to 100 square-meter built area. First floor dedicated to living room and kitchen is accessible via 2 light-weight metal stairways in the yard. 1st and 2nd floors are connected by a cantilevered stairway to solve the gross area challenge and to meet spatial requirements as well as playing a fundamental role in shaping the form of the building. The upper stairway leads to the roof which is functioning as an observation surface over natural scenery.
这种形式的设计是为了让用户在被困在建筑中时寻求与自然的联系，并通过有意识地创造的开口突然体验不同的景色。灰色别墅是现代方法的代表，现代的颜色，现代的体积，现代的与自然的联系和现代思想的反映……它以一种平和的方式定居在大自然中。愿它成为路人对我们城市的记忆。
The form is designed in a way that the user seeks for connection with the nature when trapped in the building and suddenly experiences different views through consciously created openings. Grey villa is the representation of a modern approach, modern color, modern volume, modern connection with the nature and the reflection of modern thought… It’s settled in a peaceful way in the nature. May it be a memory of our city for passers-by…
