建筑师提供的文字说明。这座房子位于半ahmoo海湾上方的一个钝态的边缘，在利用水、岛屿和山脉到西部、东部和南部的壮观景象的同时，创造了隐私。从城市化到宁静的转变从街道开始。从北方，家庭受到保护和不承担。厚的混凝土墙遮挡乘客的视线和繁忙道路的声音。玻璃窗墙和膨胀甲板使朝南一侧最大化。

Text description provided by the architects. Situated on the edge of a bluff above Semiahmoo Bay, the house creates privacy while taking advantage of spectacular views of the water, islands and mountains to the west, east and south. The transformation from urbanity to tranquility begins at the street. From the north, the home is protected and unassuming. Thick concrete walls shield the occupants from sights and sounds of the busy road above. Glass window walls and expansive decks maximize the south facing side.

在三个层次上，房子慢慢地展现了它的层次；主要的起居室(客厅、餐厅和厨房)被收集在主层上，就在正式进入画廊的外面。主套房是私人的，藏在第二层，而家庭房间、儿童卧室、桑拿浴室和一楼的运动区域对外面的膝池和水疗开放。

Over three levels, the house slowly reveals its layers; principal living areas (living room, dining room and kitchen) are collected on the main level just off of the formal entry gallery. The master suite is private and tucked away on the second level while the family room, children’s bedrooms, sauna and exercise area on the ground floor open out to the lap pool and spa outside.

房子的层叠层是由一个现浇混凝土楼梯连接起来的.玻璃护栏上有不锈钢扶手。楼梯通向每一层的画廊，可以看到下面的海湾。简单的材料调色板是耐用和低维护。混凝土墙壁和地板，以及天然未完成的锌壁板与温暖的道格拉斯杉木天花板和松露形成鲜明对比。

The cascading layers of the house are connected by a cast-in-place concrete stair. Glass guardrails are capped with a stainless steel handrail. The stair opens to a gallery on each level with views out to the Bay below. The simple material palette is durable and low maintenance. Concrete walls and floors, and natural unfinished zinc siding are contrasted with warm Douglas fir ceilings and soffits.
