设计希望在新与旧之间取得平衡与创新。客房部分的东西山墙采用复合的土坯砖墙面做法。土坯砖由本地工匠采用传统工艺取土、脱模、晾晒，待建筑主体土建完工后逐层砌筑并锚固在墙面预留的角钢上。土坯砖本身良好的热工性能也对建筑保温隔热起到了辅助作用。公共区域则以现代的方式诠释土坯，创造一种“新的旧”。我们选择了与土坯颜色相近的灰泥，灰泥的肌理可以充分表达原有土坯砖的材料属性。

We want to make a balanced and creative relationship between modern and tradition. Adobe bricks have been manufactured through traditional process by local craftsmen and then been used on gable facade of living house by attaching to steel angle on building structure. To public house, we want to present traditional adobe brick with modern material. Therefore, we choose stucco in similar color to adobe brick, which shows dramatic visual effect under the sunlight.

普者黑传统民居的另一特色在于土瓦坡屋顶，但传统坡屋顶在防水、节能上都不及混凝土平屋顶。客房部分选择平屋顶与坡屋顶相结合的方式。平屋顶承担维护功能，有效地规避了传统坡屋顶构造在使用观感上的不足。从防水、保温等功能负担中解放出来的坡屋顶，延续了传统工艺做法，外形更加轻盈美观。平坡双层屋面也有效降低了建筑能耗。坡屋顶施工完全复现普者黑村落屋顶的肌理效果，以重木搭建结构，采用拆迁时回收的土瓦与新瓦混合铺设。最终，建筑在满足现代使用空间需求的同时，最大程度还原了周边传统建筑的屋顶效果。

As one of the most representative characteristics of local houses, traditional tile roof has been abandoned due to its weakness in water proofing and thermal insulation. So we decide to combine flat concrete roof and traditional tile roof at the top of living house. Concrete roof can provide guests a comfortable interior space, and tile roof help them get local living experience at the same time. Old tiles from demolished buildings around have been collected to be paved on our roof mixing with new tiles, to create harmony relationship with old houses in this village.

公共部分采用平屋顶，设置不同标高的两处屋顶露台。二层露台面朝村落，升起的露台在提供传统体验感观。三层露台通过抬高完成面的方式将体验者视点升高，可以无遮挡地远眺湖景，露台、瓦屋顶、荷花水面形成远近丰富的景观层次。

Terrace on the second floor provide guest with a great view of traditional village, avoiding uncomfortable environment around at the same time. Guest can have direct visual contact with Puzhehei lake without any obstacles on the terrace of the third floor, where terrace, tile roof and lotus lake create multiple landscape layers in distance.
