Texas firm Andersson-Wise has completed a rustic wooden cabin in the state of Montana that is raised on stilts to provide views of a nearby lake.
单层的小屋完全是木制的，并且覆盖有悬挑的屋顶——它的屋檐朝房子中央倾斜了一定角度。
木屋设在天然的岩石边上，可以享受Flathead湖的最佳美景。
The single-storey cabin is entirely made of wood, and is capped with a butterfly roof – its eaves are pitched towards the centre of the house rather than towards its periphery.
The cabin is set into the side of a natural rock formation that enjoys privileged views of Flathead Lake.
"It is a place to observe the natural world: the lake, the surrounding ponderosa pine forest, and especially the eagles and ospreys that nest nearby," said Andersson-Wise Architects.
To support the structure, the firm raised it on six steel columns that project out into the landscape.
该建筑只能短暂性居住。由于没有暖气或者降温设施，它只能在一年的特定时期使用。
“便利设施稀少但并未被忽略：小厨房、卫生间和淋浴间可以让客人度过一个愉快的夜晚”，建筑师说道。
The building is only meant to be inhabited temporarily. As the cabin has no heating or cooling system, it can only be used at certain times of the year.
"Amenities are sparse but not neglected: a small kitchen, bathroom, and shower allow guests an overnight stay," said the architects.
访客可以通过房子西侧的桥进入。矩形住宅的北侧是由屏幕墙围着的客厅。
核心部分包括简洁的卫生间和分隔了南侧卧室区域的厨房。
Visitors enter over a bridge on the western side of the house. To the north of the rectangular home is a living room enclosed by screen walls.
A central core comprised of a compact bathroom and kitchen separates this area from the bedroom, which is located to the south.
房子的东立面是视野辽阔的阳台，可以看到外面的景色。
建筑师的意图是将客厅和外侧平台结合起来。“客厅开敞的平面和木质地板可以延伸到外面”，公司说道。
The eastern facade of the house is occupied by an expansive balcony that looks out onto the landscape.
The architect's intention was to merge the living room and exterior deck. "The living area's open floor plan and wood slat floors extend outside," said the firm.
材料是纯粹的木材，用作小屋的结构和覆层。
屋子前面的入口设置了可水平滑动的巨大谷仓门。
The material palette is comprised of solely wood, which was used for the cabin's structure and cladding.
The front entrance to the house is marked by a large barn-style door that slides horizontally.
The American west is known for its rugged terrain and natural beauty. Other projects in the area include a home in the neighbouring state of Idaho raised 12 feet (3.65 metres) above the land to avoid flooding and a mountain retreat that wraps around a boulder in Wyoming.
