被业主命名为山语间的周末别墅座落在北京远郊怀柔山谷中。基地是山脚下废弃的梯田。作为周末住宅，到这里来与友人相聚，共享山林野趣，需要一个开敞的生活空间。于是在高差各为一米的三级现有的梯田台地上，用一个顺着地势倾斜的单坡屋顶限定出的正是这样一个空间。它由钢梁柱为结构；原有梯田的挡土石墙被重砌为这个空间为数不多的几堵围护墙。空间其它的界面均是用透明玻璃构成，使周围山色一览无余。这是别墅的主要生活空间，它的开敞性反映的是人到山中来与自然接近的愿望。屋顶在概念上又形成被改造为梯田的山坡写意的重建。在山语间中，开敞的大空间并未被分割成小空间，而是被小空间分割。建筑在山语间中获得了一个特定而明确的功能：即建立人和自然景观之间的关系，具体而言是人与中国山水之间的关系。山语间中水平长窗的设计正是试图以国画的构图强调出窗外景色的中国性。
The design of this country house begins with the desire of minimum disruption of the existing terraced farmland and
maximum interaction with the surrounding mountain and water or landscape. The initial intention concretizes into a big roof,
which is supported on a steel frame and floats over the site as the conceptual reconstruction of hillside. Underneath it, urbanity is
translated into interior landscape where a continuous living space is divided into several areas by box-walls/mini-buildings,
echoing Louis Kahn’s city house comparison. Meanwhile, the natural scenery on the outside is invited in through large areas of
glazing on all sides of the villa. The three attic-guestrooms poking through the roof gives away the spatial structure on the inside
and present themselves as three detached houses on a slope.
