本文由建筑事务所提供。建筑位于山坡上，稍低于山顶俯瞰着湖面。入口车道蜿蜒穿过一片阔叶林，向山上开去，一直通向建筑的南侧。沿着道路逐渐向上，房子慢慢出现在视野中，在建筑主要立面中可看到车库入口和服务空间。

Text description provided by the architects. The house is set in a hill, just below the crest, overlooking a lake. The entry drive meanders through a hardwood forest and up the hill, approaching the house from the south. The first glimpse of the house is offered near the top of the drive, revealing the combined carport/entry and the service end of the main house volume.



公共空间隐藏在建筑北部，向湖面和长满山毛榉树的深谷延伸。一系列墙的设计将陡坡与建筑形式相融合。

Public spaces are hidden on the north end of the house, opening to views of the lake and a deep valley filled with beech trees. A series of site walls negotiate between the steep slope and the simple house form.





住宅的一层可从多功能车库进入，入口设计层层递进，木屏风、带状玻璃墙和结构依次设置，再通向入口门厅和楼梯。在建筑内部，活动流线围绕厨房进入餐厅与起居室。在这里能初次看到湖面与深谷的山毛榉树。首层的北端是一个私人平台，悬挑在山谷悬崖的边缘。

The main level of the house is accessed through a combined carport/entry, composed as a series of layers – wood screen, banded glass wall, structure – that lead to an entry vestibule and the stair. Once inside, movement is around the kitchen volume and into the dining and living spaces. Here one first sees the lake and the beech forest in the valley below. The north end of the main level is a private deck that hovers at the edge of the valley precipice.







为了欣赏到湖景与深谷的景色，所有的卧室都位于楼上，位于建筑北侧。一个小的防护设施位于地下一层，也就是三层楼梯的底部。这一空间为失火时通向湖边小径的应急道路。

All bedrooms are upstairs, with the master at the north end to capture the same lake and valley views. A small “sanctuary” space is in the basement, at the bottom of the three-story stair. This space is for reading by the fire and accessing the lake trail.



该建筑的基础与墙体均为混凝土砖，主要为木式结构。大型车库屋顶向西侧延伸并形成一定的灰空间。大面积的开放式入口，使车库屋顶延伸建筑，这里也是唯一一处使用钢结构的部分。平面由三部楼梯组织，进而确定主入口的特点。

The foundation and site walls for the house are parged concrete block, and the majority of the structure is wood. The large carport roof is structured to be a thin plane that extends off the west side and creates an arrival space. The large entry opening in the wall where the carport roof meets the main volume of the house is the only location where structural steel is used. The plan is arranged around a three-story stair that is the defining feature of the entry.



薄屋顶，水泥板和面板壁板，铝包覆的木质窗户构成了建筑的大部分色调，木制立面窗户拥有更大的开口。室内材料由石膏板、木地板和简单的瓷砖组成。

Membrane roofs, cementitious plank and panel siding, and aluminum-clad wood windows make up the majority of the humble exterior material palette, with storefront windows used at larger openings and wood accents. The interior is made of sheetrock, wood floors, and simple tile.



建筑的轮廓和充足的自然光使这个立面材质看上去十分生动。屋顶悬挑出宽敞的面积，能够更好地排水并提供遮阳。这一建筑用简单的建筑结构加强了人与森林湖泊的互动体验。

The contours of the space and generous supply of natural light animate this spare palette. Generous roof overhangs shuttle water away from the structure and provide shade. The house is a simple structure sited to maximize the experience of the hillside, forest, and distant lake.
