架构师提供的文本描述。坐落在Tew瀑布和韦伯斯特瀑布交汇处的布鲁斯小径上，这所房子与一个独特的景观有着很强的联系。布鲁斯小径沿着尼亚加拉悬崖的边缘-教科文组织的世界生物圈保护区-从尼亚加拉河(Niagara River)延伸到布鲁斯半岛顶端的托伯莫里(Tobermory)，全长近900公里。在途中，“小径”经过省土地、市和省保护当局以及私人土地所有者的混合体。

Text description provided by the architects. Sited above the intersection of Tew’s Falls and Webster’s falls on the Bruce Trail, this house makes a strong connection to a singular landscape. The Bruce Trail follows the edge of the Niagara escarpment – a UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve – from the Niagara River, almost 900 kilometers to Tobermory at the tip of the Bruce Peninsula. On its way, the Trail passes through a mix of provincial land, municipal and provincial conservation authorities, and private land owners.

我们的网站包含250英尺长的私人拥有的道路，连接了这两个被大量使用的城市公园。进入碗形斯宾塞峡谷的关键景观就出现在主外部庭院的正前方。因此，在一个隐蔽的环境中看起来像田园诗的项目在周末会被成千上万的徒步旅行者和城市居民激活，他们爬上200英尺的悬崖去体验这广阔的景色。

Our site contains a 250 foot stretch of privately owned path that connects the two heavily used city parks. The key vista into the bowl shaped Spencer Gorge occurs right in front of the main exterior courtyard. As such, the project that looks idyllic in a secluded setting gets activated on weekends by thousands of hikers and city dwellers that climb the 200 foot cliff to experience this expansive view.

该建筑必须符合安大略省最严格的土地使用限制。这一进程始于汉密尔顿市保护局和尼亚加拉省保护委员会保护区内的一所废弃房屋。我们在紧张的城市环境中工作的经验帮助我们在法规范围内工作，最终在这片1.5英亩广阔的土地上开辟了一个小建筑工地。

The build had to comply with the most restricted land use in Ontario. The process began with a derelict house within both the Municipal Hamilton Conservation Authority and the Provincial Niagara Escarpment Commission protected zones. Our experience working in tight urban settings helped us work inside the regulations, eventually carving out a small building site on this expansive 1.5 acre lot.

主要的公共房间在房子的前面打开，利用视野，和滚动的季节性薄雾。房子的后部本身就是一幅风景。高耸、纤细、加洛林森林为繁华的森林床提供了一个高高的树冠。卧室和露台的设计就是为了享受这一隐蔽的自然空间。这所房子利用茂密的树冠在夏天提供阴凉处。在冬天，当树叶落下时，高R值的玻璃会让日光泛滥.灯光填充的空间与业主令人印象深刻的艺术收藏不一致。通过扎格罗斯山脉长期逗留收集的文物，印度和缅甸坐落在现代加拿大艺术和书籍的外部景观旁边。

The main public rooms in the house open to the front to take advantage of the view, and the rolling seasonal mist. The rear of the house is a landscape unto itself. The tall, slender, Carolinian Forest provides a high canopy for the bustling forest bed. The bedrooms and patios were designed to enjoy this concealed natural space. The house takes advantage of the leafy canopy to provide shade in the summer. In the winter, as the leaves fall, the high R-value glass lets the daylight flood in. The light filled spaces are at odds with the owners’ impressive art collection. Artifacts collected over long sojourns through the Zagros mountain range, India and Myanmar nestle next to modern Canadian art and bookend the exterior views.

从布鲁斯的角度看房子，住宅计划模糊了画廊和公共建筑。我们自豪地为这条重要的道路提供了这座城市高地。

Looking back at the house from the Bruce, the program of residence blurs with gallery and public building. We are proud to provide this urban elevation to this important thoroughfare.
