芒果屋是与自然环境相联系的追求的具体体现。这里的设计精髓是通过结构的形式、材料和装饰，在思想和表达上的简单性。建筑的有机性成功地将外部和内部联系起来，从而通过其自由流动的计划，成功地传达了一种朴实的感觉。这座房子融合了各种元素和建筑材料，是 “天蓝色的”，使设计变得简单。
The Mango House is the physical manifestation of a quest to connect with the natural environment. The essence of design here is simplicity in thought and expression through the form, material and décor of the structure. The organic nature of construction successfully connects the outside with the inside and thus manages to convey an earthy feel through its free-flowing plan. The house is a blend of various elements & building materials that are ‘azonic’, lending simplicity to the design.
由于芒果树占据了整个地块，房子的定义显然来自于它们，以确保有机或采用绿色文化的基本价值得到行使。这些有70-80年历史的小区居民成为房屋设计和概念的决定性和指导性因素。
北部、南部和东部方向的芒果树划定了房子的边界。
Since mango trees dominated the plot, the house clearly gets its definition from them to ensure that the basic value of being organic or adopting green culture was exercised. These 70-80 year old inhabitants of the plot became the deciding and guiding factors for the design and concept for the house.
The mango trees in the north, south and east directions demarcated the boundary of the house.
其目的是为了能够从住宅内的任何地方看到周围的景观–沿着南北和东西轴线。这导致四面都有一个入口，可以不间断地看到外面青翠的软景。
The aim was to be able to view the surrounding landscape from any point within the abode – along the north-south as well as the east-west axes. This led to an entrance on all four sides for an uninterrupted view of the verdant softscape outside.
有一些确定的因素–入口在北面；因为有车道的空间，而厨房在东面；以迎接清晨的阳光。
There were some certainties that were a given – the entrance to the north; as there was space for a driveway, and the kitchen to the east; to catch the early morning sun.
在开放空间和有盖空间之间需要一个平衡。由于树木对建筑的限制，唯一的解决办法是提高一个层次，但要保持村庄的感觉。
There was a need for a balance between the open and covered spaces. With the restrictions imposed by the trees on the construction, the only solution was to go a level up but stay true to the village like feel.
这座房子反映了与周围环境的自由流动和不间断的联系，同时又不失设计上的比例。
The house reflects a free flowing and uninterrupted connect with its surroundings without losing the proportion in design.
创造体量是该结构的一个重要方面，通过倾斜的屋顶，人们可以在最高点获得约35英尺的高度。这一点在悬空的楼梯上得到了强调，因为它扫到了第一层。这里的天窗和用餐区的另一个天窗让光线透进来，强调了广阔的感觉。
Creating volume was an important aspect of the structure and with the sloping roof one gets about 35 feet at the highest point. This is emphatically accentuated at the suspended staircase as it sweeps up to the first floor. A skylight here and another over the dining area allow light to filter in and underscore the feeling of vastness.
这种广阔的空间和它与周围环境的不间断联系是房子的亮点。
This vastness of space and its uninterrupted connect with the surroundings is the highlight of the house.
芒果之家暗示着乡土气息，丰富的文化和传统感永远存在–芒果之家通过在精神和内容上的有机结合，帮助居住在城市的家庭与自然相连。
Alluding to the vernacular, a rich sense of culture and tradition is ever present – The Mango House helps the city-dwelling family to connect with nature by being organic in both spirit and content.
