Text description provided by the architects. This new house is located in NW Washington DC on a steeply-sloped and forested site. The project is a speculative house for a local developer, so it was designed to be constructed efficiently. The composition is organized as a series of vertical volumes situated within the trees, and stepping down the sloped site.

 First Floor Plan

一层平面图

一楼很高，所以体积似乎“漂浮”在地面上。街角有一间玻璃化的餐厅，客厅和厨房位于房子后面，面向游泳池和后院。车库在房子下面两层，钻到了场地的后面。它的屋顶是游泳池的甲板。房子的后壁几乎完全是玻璃的，甲板从卧室延伸出来，形成“室外房间”，可以看到远处树木茂密的地方。

The first floor is tall, so the volumes seem to “float” above the ground.  A glassed-in corner dining room is featured from the street, while the living room and kitchen are situated toward the rear of the house, facing the overlook of pool and rear yard.  The garage is 2 levels below the house, burrowed into the rear of the site, with its roof serving as a deck for the pool.  The rear wall of the house is almost entirely glass, with decks extending out from bedrooms to create “outdoor rooms” with views of the wooded site beyond.
