架构师提供的文本描述。一座现代化的房子静静地坐落在达勒姆的一个角落里，包裹在科腾钢铁街的垂直条纹中，由地板到天花板的巨大玻璃和悬挑的窗户，俯瞰着后面的森林。

罗利Tonic Design的凯瑟琳·霍根(Katherine Hogan)、友邦保险(AIA)和文尼·皮特拉卡(Vinny Petrarca)负责这一具有创意的两层楼高、3800平方英尺(约合3800平方米)的单一家庭结构，随着钢铁的持续耐候，它们将融入自然环境，不需要绘画。他们的客户喜欢这个概念，因为他们想要一个低维护的房子，一个适度的公众存在。

Katherine Hogan, AIA, and Vinny Petrarca of Tonic Design in Raleigh are responsible for this creative two-story, 3800-square-foot, single-family structure that will, as the steel continues to weather, blend into the natural setting and never need painting. Their clients loved the concept since they wanted a low-maintenance house with a modest public presence.

业主还希望保持与他们美丽的树木网站的直接视觉联系。富丽堂皇的玻璃满足了这一愿望。

The owners also wanted to maintain direct visual connection to their beautiful wooded site. The abundant glazing fulfills that wish.

形式的功能：创造创新的形式和平面图，设计师从一个单一的广场空间的概念。他们把群众分成两部分：一个是“公共”空间，一个是私人空间。然后，他们把两卷书分开，展开扇形，打开构图的中心，让人们看到自然环境，形成了一个受保护的外部庭院。通过这种形式，两半也面对面地穿过院子。因此，房主可以从内部享受他们的新房子的外部，并观看钢铁达到其最终的帕蒂纳。

Form Follows Function: To create the innovative form and floor plan, the designers worked from the concept of a single square mass of space. They divided the mass into two halves: one for “public” spaces, one for private.  Then they separated the two volumes and fanned them out to open the center of the composition to views of the natural environment, which created a protected exterior courtyard. Through this form, the two halves also face each other across the courtyard. As a result, the homeowners can enjoy the exterior of their new house from the interior and watch the steel reach its ultimate patina.

旧/新，原/精：房主也想在可能的情况下使用回收和再利用的材料。Hogan和Petrarca利用这一指令在新旧、原始和精炼之间建立了鲜明的对比。作为对钢-玻璃对比的补充，新的现代固定装置和装饰与再生木地板、回收工厂灯和夫妇收藏的艺术品、物品和家具的元素并列。

Old/New, Raw/Refined: The homeowners also wanted to use reclaimed and repurposed materials wherever possible. Hogan and Petrarca used this directive to create contrasts between old and new, raw and refined. Complementing the steel-glass contrast, new modern fixtures and finishes juxtapose with reclaimed-wood floors, recycled factory lights, and elements from the couple’s collection of art, objects and furniture.

公共/私人：虽然钢在家庭和街道之间提供了某种程度的外部屏障，但室内空间是开放和流动的，随着居民从居住、就餐和厨房的“公共”空间转移到卧室和浴室的私人空间(全部位于一层)，室内空间在整个房子里都发生了变化。光线充足的人行道将这两部分连接起来。较低的楼层是为客人设计的，包括两间卧室套房，位于楼层的对面，以保持隐私，并设有一个两辆车的车库。

Public/Private: While the steel provides an exterior barrier, of sorts, between the family and the street, interior spaces are open and fluid, shifting perspectives throughout the house as the inhabitants move from the “public” volume of living, dining, and kitchen areas to the private volume of bedrooms and baths, all on one floor. Light-filled walkways join the two portions. The lower level is intended for guests and includes two bedroom suites on opposite sides of the floor for privacy and a two-car garage.
