The northern elevation: Leicester house is perched on a hilltop in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina

这位客户是迈阿密一位半退休的高管，他想要第二个家，在那里他可以逃离六月到十二月的飓风季节。SPG的简介是设计一套可以容纳常客的房子，但一旦他们离开，就会恢复到方便的大小。主要空间是一个简单的长方形，结构由木框架、钢柱和梁组成。沿着南部和西部的高地，玻璃墙可以不间断地看到从开放的居住区域到山谷和山脉的远处。位于东北端的厨房后面是主卧室、浴室和更衣室。正门设置在北面的立面上，为保护隐私，这里用了一层钢制的球衣。较低层的独立访客区也有一个媒体室，作为两个不同区域之间的纽带。在设计和施工过程中出现的两个外部危机促使客户将莱斯特大厦转变为节能模式。而当经济危机挤压预算，排除无限大的可能性时，计划被调整为创造一个绿色的“无限”屋顶。

The main entrance is set within the northern elevation, which is clad in corten steel for privacy

To the left of the main entrance is a garage constructed from poured concrete

View from the south-west: The house is divided into two levels. The main living space above has glass walls to the south and west. The guest wing, with only one full visible elevation on the western side, is slipped in beneath as if carved out of the hillside. The guest wing has a green roof planted with local drought-resistant species

View from the west: The house is sited below a wooded knoll that shields it from the approach road. The upper level was constructed using a C-shaped wooden frame combined with a steel column and beam system and the lower level from poured concrete

The primary space is a simple rectangle, the structure a combination of wooden frame and steel column and beam

The grass and succulents used for the green roof were chosen from species native to the surrounding fields and meadows

To the south of the main living area, a wooden deck looks out over the green roof that ties the house to the landscape beyond

The main entrance (right) through the corten steel façade opens directly into the open plan living space. A corridor leads to the master bedroom suite tucked behind the kitchen. The coffee table was made from a reclaimed wooden dining table

The main open plan living space looks across the valley to the Blue Ridge Mountains beyond. A concrete fireplace is set within the glass walls

Along the southern and western elevations, glass walls ensure nothing interrupts the views

The master bathroom features Opera Fantastico marble surfaces

In the master bedroom, strip windows and corten steel screens provide privacy along the north side - the front elevation. The south side is open to the view
