架构师提供的文本描述。灯塔是一座像家具一样设计和建造的微型建筑.我们抛弃了典型的细节和集会，转而采用新的施工方法。其结果是一个旨在测试我们的工艺材料和我们对空间的看法的项目。从一个没有直角的门，到一个自定义的天窗，它把传统的造船材料和从汽车天窗里借来的细节结合起来，再到商店里的装配式和人造板(结构绝缘面板)，与电影业的硬件结合在一起。这不是一个我们能够交给承包商来执行的项目，所以我们绕过了正常的架构生产方法，并依赖于我们设计/构建模型中最具实验性的潜力。灯塔是我们的办公场所，展示了我们的飞船，也是重新思考我们设计和建造方式的巨大潜力的一个例子。

Text description provided by the architects. Lighthouse is a micro-building designed and built like a piece of furniture. We discarded typical details and assemblies in favor of new methods of construction from the ground up. The result is a project designed to test our craft in materials and our perceptions of space. From a door with no right angles, to a custom made skylight that marries traditional boatbuilding materials with details borrowed from a car sunroof, to shop fabricated and mitered SIPs (Structural Insulated Panels) joined with film industry hardware. This is not a project that we would have been able to hand off to a contractor to execute, so we bypassed the normal methods of architectural production, and relied on the most experimental potential of our design/build model. Lighthouse is an office for our business, a showcase of our craft, and an example of the huge potential within rethinking the way we design and build.

灯塔的命名既反映了它的建筑系统，也反映了它的建筑系统：在现场组装的轻质预制板，以及它的标志性开口：一个超大且完全定制的门、窗户和可操作的天窗，白天提供大量自然光，晚上发出温暖诱人的光芒。由于不需要传统的基础设施，灯塔建立在工业脚轮上，最初的设计是为了支持滚动式垃圾箱，并且可以在商店院子周围移动，以方便运送材料和灵活的室外空间。我们希望，未来的灯塔将成为那些寻找小型可持续建筑，包括当代建筑设计的信标。

Lighthouse is named to reflect both its construction system: lightweight prefabricated panels that are assembled on site with minimal impact to the environment, and its iconic openings: a oversized and entirely custom door, window, and operable skylight that provide plenty of natural light during the day and project a warm inviting glow at night . Without the necessity of a traditional foundation Lighthouse rests on industrial casters originally designed to support roll-off dumpsters and can be moved around the shop yard to facilitate material deliveries and flexible outdoor space. We hope that future Lighthouses will become beacons for those searching for smaller sustainable buildings that embrace contemporary architectural design.
