SkyCottage

这所三层的住宅占据了一块狭小的派形地块，可看到密西西比河的风光。本项目显示出与周边建筑规范相符的特性，并随河流走向而呈现曲线。

This three-story residence occupies a tiny, pie-shaped corner lot with a view of the Mississippi River. The parti demonstrates an interest in abiding by the rules set forth in the neighborhood, yet also bending them as a response to the River.

其结果就是两座建筑体量的组合。一个白色的砖体排列在街景住宅区，以及一个被抬高的合金涂层钢盒通过在两个方向横切立方体与网格相对，直接呼应河景。

The result is the composition of two architectural volumes. A white-brick cube aligns itself with the established streetscape of rowhouses, and an elevated alloy-coated steel box resists this grid by transversing the cube in both directions, responding directly to the River view.

房子都是由景观和运动影响的经验之作。首层有着落地窗户，使进口，庭院和客房空间的分布更明确。访客们向上行，步入起居空间所在楼层，在此能欣赏河流壮美的景观。最后，上升到最私密的空间-----主套房，在这里可以观赏到美得不可方物的河景，北面全景一览无余，南侧则是罕见的城市美景。

The house is a series of experiences that are directed by view and movement. The first floor has floor-to-ceiling glass that defines a combination of entry, patio and guestroom spaces. The visitor moves up and into the home’s living level, which reveals an intensely focused view of the River. Lastly, one ascends to the most private zone, the master suite. It includes a dramatic view of the River, a sweeping vista to the north, and a rare city view to the south.

绿色空间的可建面积在这个项目占的面积比例很高，比其他地方的设计都要高。住宅所占的比例只有44%。开放性的棚屋保持邻近房屋的距离，也为路人提供方便。

The design provides an extremely high ratio of green-space-to-buildable-area than is found elsewhere in the development. The home’s footprint consumes only 44% of this area. Open view sheds are maintained for neighboring homes and the casual passerby.

天空之城是田纳西州的第一所由建筑师设计并拥有的住宅，已经提交LEED认证了。

SkyCottage is the first Tennessee residence designed and owned by an architect that has been submitted for LEED for Homes Certification.
