"The landscape is minimalist and of the place. It treads lightly on the site, particularly in how it bridges over the flood plain. It takes great skill
to make it look so effortless.”
—2013 Professional Awards Jury
“轻踏沼泽上的极简景观。看起来毫不费力,实际这需要非常努力和高超的技巧才能达成。”
--2013年专业奖评审委员会


这个家庭住宅位于纽约北部几个手指湖之一的塞内卡湖边上,项目轻轻的落在狭窄的冰川峡谷间,与丰富的森林以及清洌的湖水相伴。这里的地形
倾斜复杂,因此与大地的结合十分重要,景观设计师空灵的解决了这个难题。
Lightly touching down in a narrow glacial ravine is a family residence that responds boldly to its site on Seneca Lake in New York's northern
Finger Lakes. A perennial stream laces through a rich forested glen, from a waterfall at its head to the fanning delta at the lake's edge. The
robust woodland runs down the slopes and slips through the chain of wracked buildings, hugging the house, and tying it to the land in practical

and ethereal ways.

↑ 总平 Site Plan

客户希望享受湖泊的原始之美,因此场地的寻找主要集中在东部暴露的湖岸线。场地曾经有一个狩猎小屋,不过很多年被夷为平地,直到后来在场
地周围发现瀑布和美丽多种的植物,提升观景戏剧性和价值,才确定该地为建设场地。
这个房屋主要为喜欢湖泊和出行的一家四口周末度假使用,建筑包括三间卧室,独立办公区,运动区,客房,船库和车库。建筑师和景观师密切配
合,修复和提升了场所的生态环境。
方案把建筑分为独立的零散体量布置在场地中,各部分间通过狭窄的通道联系。因此植物景观渗透入房间中。其中最主要的起居生活空间探出林缘
线,裸露的探向湖泊,获得开放的视野和空间。卧室处于缓坡的保护之中。住户需要跨过小溪到达船库。而车库还远在船库的北方。之所以把车库
安排得这样远,乃是希望打造出宁静的住宅。
景观师,建筑师,客户一直认为这个场地中的风景才是作重要的,因此介入场地中的路径都选择了最小的和最窄的,他们穿梭在丰富的植物群中,
陷入自然的美丽怀抱!
景观师调参现场后发现场地中的植物多样性在这个地区堪称了不起,其中主要有四大生态群落:干燥高山森林群落,湿润高山森林群落,滩涂森林
群落和季节性淹没湿地。通过五个新种植区让场地与原有植物群落形成新平衡。植物的生长与海拔,坡度,朝向息息相关。也同场地内的微环境有
关,比如谷顶的PH值要比谷底低,同时其他条件也因为环境差距千差万别。要让新植物不着痕迹的融入老植物群中乃是非常有挑战的一件事情。
景观设计师力求让子女植物群看起来是场地自然繁衍的一部分,精心布置的百合,草本植物和蕨类植物在生长几年后成为场地中的亮点。
场地的气候在全年都变化无常比较极端。因此景观设计师研究场地暴雨径流,躲开斜坡水土流失和风蚀。让洪水狂风暴雨对场地中侵害减少到最低。
种植的养护管理工作进行了两年,在这里通常的管理计划是行不通的,为此景观设计师制定了不同的职务管理计划,并聘请顾问和志愿者进行长期监
督。其中一位,来自康奈尔大学的植物学家在场地上发现了一个濒危植物品种。
这个住宅建立在对场地细致入微的考察和适应基础上,是一个尊重土地的可持续性项目,显示出各学科高度协作的完美成果。大胆,轻盈,独特,
环保。

Existing Site
This property had a wildness that captured the client's interest immediately. They understood the raw beauty of Seneca Lake when they began
looking for a site on the exposed eastern shoreline. A hunting lodge once sat on the site, but burned to the ground many years ago. It wasn't
until they hiked upstream, into the 100-plus acre property's deep cut ravine that they found a waterfall, hidden within the site's botanically
diverse plant palette. It was the site's inherent drama and ephemeral delicacy that bound the owners to this place and ultimately defined the
design direction for the house and landscape.
Project Program
The project scope included a four-season weekend retreat for a family of four that supported their active life on the lake and love of the
out-of-doors. In addition to three bedrooms for the main house, the architect was asked to create areas for office, exercise, and guests, in
addition to a boathouse and garage. From the beginning, the Landscape Architect (LA) worked closely with the design team towards a strategy
that would repair and enhance the site's ecological function.
Site Planning
The design decision to break the program down into separate but connected structures came from the need to respond to the narrow site, the
solar orientation, and the disturbed area of the old hunting lodge. The extrusion of the parts along a line of circulation, the site's outdoor
hallway, created opportunities for outdoor rooms formed by the interplay of existing trees and the framing of the space by the building walls.
The design resolution locates the primary family room on the point, like a boat, with its prow forward, exposed, and open to the drama of the
seasons and the prevailing eastern winds at the water's edge. The more private rooms of the house gather behind this front room, and are
more protected, nestled in the ravine. A bridge for pedestrians and the family's all-terrain vehicle spans the creek and connects the main house
to the boathouse, which sits at the water's edge. Further still is a three-car garage on the bluff above the main building site. All cars remain
high on the bluff at the garage, thereby limiting the primary circulation around the house to foot-traffic.
Landscape Strategy
The LA, the architect, and the client agreed that the site's inherent natural beauty and ecological diversity needed to be prioritized over all other
site decisions. The client stressed the desire to be responsible ecological stewards so grading was minimized to pathways and roads and the
diverse plant palette carefully edited to allow the house to slip into the existing landscape.
Planting
The charge of making the site appear untouched was far more difficult to achieve than it might seem. The LA began with a comprehensive
survey of the existing plants and determined that the diversity of the herbaceous groundcover was both remarkable and unusual, even in the
Finger Lakes. The LA, with a staff trained in landscape architecture, arboriculture and horticulture, determined that the project sat within four
existing ecological communities: Dry Upland Forest, Moist Upland Forest, Floodplain Forest, and Seasonally Inundated Wetland. The project
planting plan mixed these communities into five planting zones (See Planting Zones Diagram). The plant list is composed of plants that fall
within a mix of vegetation communities (See Plant List).
Plant groupings within each zone reflect variations in elevation, slope and aspect. The most interesting lesson learned was that the shale soils
change pH radically as they degrade. The tops of the relatively shallow ravine have much lower pH than the bottom. The result is extreme
diversity in a small area because of the dramatic changes in soil pH, light, and weather (Seneca Lake's deep waters moderate the temperatures
on the site, so it can be snowing at the garage when there is no snow at the main house).
There was not an analog upon which to model this project. Finding the appropriate plant material in nurseries proved challenging and it was
difficult to find trees that blended seamlessly into the forest. The layout of the plants mimicked existing conditions so that the plants looked to
be the result natural propagation in the microenvironments where they occur naturally. The careful culling or retention of existing material was
an integral part of the project. Three years later, the site is healthier than ever, with bursts of trout lilies, trillium and ferns in the early spring.
Site Forces
This is a highly volatile site and the weather extremes are felt throughout the seasons. The builder and the LA discussed in detail site drainage
and water flow to save existing trees. The LA planted the slopes and pinned down dead trees to provide slope and wind erosion control during
seasonal storms and to trap organic material so seedlings could grow rather than wash out. Vegetation grows easily in the fertile soils of the
flatland with its high water table at 18” deep. The stream run can be violent in the spring and after heavy rains, with water elevation changing
from flood stage to nearly dry throughout the year. Rather than guarding against these conditions, the design team saw these ephemeral
shifts as an essential part of the experience of the place.
Maintenance
During the two year planting process, it became apparent that a traditional approach to landscape management would not work. The LA wrote
a meadow management plan for the different meadow areas but the plantings would require constant editing by someone who understood the
plants over time and could choose which volunteers to keep and which to pull. The LA and client searched for the right person and found a
botanist from Cornell University, who became so attached to the property that he now serves as a consultant that supervises the on-going
site work. His discovery of a threatened New York State species on-site, Agastache nepetoides- Yellow Giant Hyssop, deepened his commitment
to the place.
Materials and Site Details
All aspects of this project were carefully adapted to the site and considered for their regenerative results. The house design has a respectful
relationship to the land and site, using sustainably harvested tropical wood for the boardwalk, a beach shale gravel path excavated from the
shore edge of the site, New York granite paths, and beach shale splash blocks and drip lines.
Through careful siting and thoughtful interplay of architectural elements, this project shows the result of a highly collaborative design process
where the role of each discipline is blurred to create a simultaneously bold and ethereal composition, unique to its place and time.
