Bounded by rocky terrain, a hilltop clearing presiding over the landscape provides the perfect setting for Float House by Halifax architect Omar Gandhi

在新斯科舍省，大胆的建筑倾向于沿着水面聚集。大西洋长期以来一直为加拿大这一地区提供生计，现在它提供了丰富的景色。哈利法克斯建筑师奥马尔·甘地(Omar Gandhi)的一个新项目-浮雕屋(Float House)-采取了另一种观点，在风景的一个粗糙角落中发现了崇高之处，并以一套令人叹为观止的雕塑

参观浮雕屋

甘地说，这座232平方米的建筑位于“荒芜的小路”之外-位于内陆半公里处，由冰川和山谷组成的锯齿状地带。甘地帮助客户梅兰妮·凯利博士选择了这个地点，这是一处山顶空地，上面挂着一块粗壮的岩石露头。甘地回忆道，这种自然形态是最神奇的东西。“这似乎是一座房子的完美锚。”

在当地建筑师经常借鉴海上木屋传统的地方，甘地的办公室把它扭曲成了一种陌生的形状：房子是由四种木结构组成的，但它们在顶部被旋转和侵蚀，形成锯齿状的巨石状的体积。(“浮”这个词是一块松散岩石的地质术语。)一端是凯利博士的生活区、餐饮区和卧室区；中间是两间客房，里面住着她成年的孩子们参观的房间；另一头是一个车库，里面裹着一层苍白的云杉壁板。这种木材，黑色铝窗和灰色金属屋顶完成了材料调色板，这与地形密切融合。

然而，这座由当地承包商廉价建造的房屋，却有着丰富的空间体验。就餐区离岩石表面几米远，透过大窗户显露出来。从远处的角度看，起居室可以俯瞰一系列湖泊和海洋。

A play on the vernacular tradition of maritime sheds, four timber clad elements are rotated and manipulared to form jagged boulder-like volumes

The muted tones of the interior play audience to an outlook of glacial formations

The striking garage interior is wrapped in a screen of pale spruce cladding

 Metres from a sheer rock face, the glazed walls of the dining room give the impression of being immersed in the landscape

Dubbed Float House due to the geographical term 'float' meaning loose pieces of rock, the sculptural volumes were conceived as a reflection of the sublime natural surroundings

Sensitive to the topography, the volumes are clad in pale spruce with black aluminium glazing and grey metal roofing 

High level clerestory glazing encourages daylight into to the bright and spacious interior, with sloping ceilings framing the view

On plan, a volume containing two guest bedrooms is flanked by the house's living, dining and bedroom areas, and the pale spruce-clad garage

Inside out – views of rocks, lakes and the ocean are captured in picture perfect frames

The living room opens to panoramic views over a series of lakes with the ocean visible in the distance
