Chams别墅位于黎巴嫩最干旱和历史悠久的自然景观中，从植物群到罗马神庙，它拥抱了周围的特征，并将自己作为一个旋律性的元素故事讲述者。
Laying remotely within Lebanon’s most arid and historical nature-scape, Villa Chams embraces its surrounding’s identity from the flora to the Roman temples, and presents itself as a melodically elemental story teller.
从远处看，这个带壳的结构是水平的，同时与保存完好的岩石、opunita、橄榄树和其他植物群相融合，以远处的山脉为背景。在一个更亲密的检查中，零星的等距墙和柱子在一个基本的网格上协调着有节奏的流动，创造出内向的空间和开放的延伸。
At a distant glance, this one shelled structure grounds itself horizontally, while respectfully blending in with the mindfully preserved rocks, opunita, olive trees and other flora on a backdrop of distant mountains. Upon a more intimate inspection, sporadically equidistant walls and columns orchestrate a rhythmic flow on a rudimentary grid, creating both introverted spaces and open extensions.
池子里铺着粗糙的水磨石，混合着当地的矿物集料，散发着接地的效果，对脚部进行按摩。水像河流一样流过混凝土柱子，在接壤的岩石旁缓缓停歇，从而可以看到邻近的植物、远处的山和天空。
The pool is floored with rough terrazzo, mixed with native mineral aggregates, which emits a grounding effect and massages the feet. Flowing like a river through concrete columns, the water comes to a gentle rest by bordering rocks that lead to a view of neighboring plants, distant mountains and sky.
房间里自然地摆放着浇筑好的土质混凝土墙、石头、灯光和层层叠叠的景色，散发出一种朴实的感觉平衡。音乐室和阅览室被注入了一个较低的水平，这进一步内敛了它的功能的精神，并打开了一个眼睛水平的户外玻璃景观。
Rooms are naturally furnished with poured earth concrete walls, stone, light and layers of view, emitting an earthy sensorial balance. The music and reading room is infused a level lower into the ground which further introverts the spirit of it’s function and opens to an eye level glazed view of the outdoors.
卫生间仅通过天窗照射，由地板到天花板的岩石和对比鲜明的光滑的声音反射墙拥抱，进一步增强了舒缓的水声效果。为了进一步体现这所房子的生活性质，某些材料被鼓励随着时间的自然磨损而改变颜色美感。
The bathroom, irradiated solely through a skylight, is embraced with a floor to ceiling rock and contrasting smooth sound reflective walls which further enhance the soothing water acoustics. In further manifestation of the living nature of this house, certain materials are encouragingly left to change color aesthetics with the natural wear and tear of time.
巴拉贝克的季节性特点为这个建筑环境增加了另一个层面。干燥和阳光明媚的日子可以在阴凉的地方和冷却的岩石内享受，而寒冷的神秘的夜晚可以在温水游泳池周围的壁炉旁观星。这座房子触及了地球的所有元素，经过精心设计，与大自然的许多感官层次一起散发着和谐宁静的感觉，是一个庄严的撤退。
The seasonal nature of Baalabek adds another dimension to this built environment. Dry and sunny days can be enjoyed under shaded areas and within cooling rocks, while chilly mystical nights can be spent stargazing by the fireplace around the heated pool. Touching on all elements of the earth, this house is meticulously designed to emit feelings of harmonious tranquility with nature’s many sensorial layers, for a solemn retreat.
