Tubular glass
Located in a forest on the mountains of Almaty in Kazakhstan, architect Aibek Almasov of A.Masow Design Studio has designed a concept for a modern spiritual retreat. The project, known as Tree in the house, presents a cylindrical, four-story glass space featuring an encased tree in the center. A winding white staircase allows visitors who enter the “tree house” to ascend the towering space, spiraling upward around the centric tree.
The intention behind the transparent architectural structure, tucked away in a sea of lofty fir trees, is to merge manmade industrial design with nature and “give up some unnecessary conditions and things.” The project aims to offer an alternative to bustling city life and stifling urban structures by fusing a protective house and a natural environment without creating a visual separation.
位於哈薩克斯坦阿拉木圖山脈的森林中，A.Masow設計工作室的建築師Aibek Almasov設計了一個現代精神靜修的概念。 這個項目在房子裡被稱為樹，呈現出一個圓柱形的四層玻璃空間，中間有一棵封閉的樹。 白色的樓梯讓進入“樹屋”的遊客能夠登上高聳的空間，在中心樹周圍向上盤旋。
透明建築結構背後的意圖隱藏在高高的冷杉樹海中，將人造工業設計與自然融為一體，“放棄一些不必要的條件和事物。”該項目旨在提供一個繁忙的城市生活和令人窒息的替代方案。 通過融合保護性房屋和自然環境而不產生視覺分離的城市結構。
A mature fir tree would be enclosed at the centre of this conceptual tubular glass house by Kazakh architect Aibek Almassov, which may finally become a reality now that potential investors have been found (+ slideshow).
哈薩克斯坦建築師艾比克·阿爾馬索夫（Aibek Almassov）將這個成熟的杉木樹封閉在這個概念性管狀玻璃房的中心，現在已經找到了潛在的投資者（+幻燈片）。
Tree in the House is designed by Almassov of A Masow Architects as an inverted treehouse, intended to provide an escape from the “sweltering concrete boxes” of city life.
It features a completely glazed and cylindrical structure to give 360-degree-views of a forest setting.
房子裡的樹由A Masow建築事務所的Almassov設計，作為一個倒置的樹屋，旨在逃離城市生活的“悶熱的混凝土盒子”。
它採用完全玻璃和圓柱形結構，可以360度全景觀賞森林。
An investor was initially secured when the project was first designed in 2013, but they subsequently pulled out and it seemed the project would never be completed.
But a glass and solar panel manufacturer is now interested, according to Almassov, so construction could be imminent.
當項目於2013年首次設計時，投資者最初獲得了擔保，但他們隨後撤出，似乎該項目永遠不會完成。
但根據Almassov的說法，玻璃和太陽能電池板製造商現在感興趣，所以建設可能迫在眉睫。
“Really it’s not so difficult to build it,” he told , “the problem was to find an investor.”
“At the moment, we have found two of the investors,” he added. “One of them has owns a factory for the production of glass with transparent solar panels. He is interested in this project so we are negotiating right now with him.”
“實際上建造它並不困難，”他說，“問題在於尋找投資者。”
“目前，我們找到了兩位投資者，”他補充道。 “其中一家擁有一家生產帶透明太陽能電池板的玻璃工廠。他對這個項目很感興趣，所以我們正在和他談判。”
Renderings show the tubular building residing in a woodland clearing with its uppermost storeys rising above the tree canopy – although the project is not bound to any particular location.
渲染顯示管狀建築位於林地中，其最高樓層高出樹冠 – 儘管該項目不受任何特定位置的限制。
“The main purpose of this project is to offer an alternative to the bustle of city life,” said the architect. “We wanted to combine the capabilities of modern industrial design and the natural wealth and beauty.”
“這個項目的主要目的是為城市生活的喧囂提供一種替代方案，”建築師說。 “我們希望將現代工業設計和自然財富與美麗的能力結合起來。”
“And more importantly it doesn’t harm to environment,” he added. “This is an opportunity to escape from the sweltering concrete boxes and feel the present unity with nature.”
“更重要的是，它不會對環境造成傷害，”他補充說。 “這是一個逃離悶熱的混凝土箱子，感受現在與大自然的統一的機會。”
The glazed walls and ceiling will reveal four narrow ring-shaped floors, as well as a spiralling white staircase that wraps around the trunk of the tree.
玻璃牆和天花板將展示四個狹窄的環形地板，以及環繞樹幹的螺旋式白色樓梯。
Glazed balustrades with wooden railings will surround the atrium on each level so as not to block the views.
“Climbing the stairs [in this] unusual house can be compared with the stages of spiritual purification, enlightenment, harmonising with the environment,” said Almassov.
帶有木欄杆的玻璃欄杆將圍繞每層的中庭，以免阻擋景觀。
“攀爬樓梯[在這個]不尋常的房子可以與精神淨化，啟蒙，與環境協調的階段相比，”阿爾馬索夫說。
Images show the boughs of the tree extending outwards towards the glazed walls and roof, encroaching on the minimal floor space.
圖像顯示樹的樹枝向外延伸到玻璃牆和屋頂，侵占最小的地面空間。
An entirely glass shower cubicle mirrors the tubular form of the building, while other parts of the conceptual residence are seen dressed with free-standing furniture that follows the curving walls.
一個完全玻璃淋浴間鏡像建築物的管狀形式，而概念住宅的其他部分看到穿著獨立的家具，沿著彎曲的牆壁。
Almaty-based A.Masow Architects previously created a set of photo-realistic renderings of a concrete house that balances over a hillside in Kazakhstan. Like Tree in the House, ImagineHouse was also designed to isolate its residents from the noise of the city.

總部位於阿拉木圖的A.Masow建築事務所之前創建了一套照片般逼真的混凝土房屋效果圖，在哈薩克斯坦的山坡上平衡。 就像眾議院的樹一樣，ImagineHouse也被設計成將居民與城市的噪音隔離開來。
