架构师提供的文本描述。Fishers岛位于康涅狄格州和罗德岛海岸外，但在纽约州却占据着一大片水域，只有渡船才能到达。在夏季的几个月里，岛上的人口增加到3000多人，而全年的居民只有大约300人。因此，每日用品和材料的交付有限。承建商在内地居住，由于通勤时间较短，因此兴建新住宅所需的时间更长，成本更高。利用场外建筑，船运体积预制模块-包括管道、电气和成品-使岛上的建筑更具成本效益。这些箱子不仅专为客户和现场设计，而且也适合标准渡轮。

Text description provided by the architects. Located off the coast of Connecticut and Rhode Island, yet occupying a body of water in the state of New York, Fishers Island is accessible only by ferry. While during the summer months the island’s population swells to over 3000, year-round residents total only about 300. Delivery of daily supplies and materials is therefore limited. Contractors live on the mainland, creating short workdays due to the commute, thereby causing construction of a new home to take longer and effectively cost more. Leveraging off-site construction, shipping volumetric prefabricated modules—complete with plumbing, electrical, and finishes—makes for a much more cost-effective method of building on the island. The boxes were designed specifically not only for the client and site, but also to fit on the standard ferry.

这位客户是一个四口之家，有两名刚毕业的大学毕业生，他们也住在岛上。这房子的设计是为了容纳和娱乐他们所有的后代。通常被当地人称为“方舟”，房子是由8个乐高样的盒子组成的，这些箱子都是放在一块面板上的混凝土地基上，也是预制的。在斜坡景观中，长而线性的容器是由公共和私人用途组织起来的。主层包括跨越三个平行盒子的公共居住空间，而第二层则包含直系亲属的私人空间。“东翼”有客房和楼梯，下面有一个大地堡供未来的孙子们使用。作为主要的聚会和娱乐场所，屋顶成为另一层生活空间，基本上是一个室外房间，部分覆盖和配备了厨房、座椅和室外壁炉。

The client, a family of four with 2 recent college-graduates, has extended family that also lives on the island. This house is designed to accommodate and entertain them all for generations to come. Often called “the ark” by locals, the house is comprised of eight Lego-like boxes sitting on a panelized concrete foundation that was also prefabricated. Integrated into the sloping landscape, the long and linear vessel is organized by public and private uses. The main level contains communal living spaces that span three parallel boxes, while the second floor contains the immediate family’s private spaces. The ‘east wing’ contains guest rooms and a stair down to a large bunkroom below for future grandkids. As the main gathering and entertaining area, the roof becomes another level of living space, essentially an outdoor room, partially covered and equipped with a kitchen, seating, and an outdoor fireplace.

所有结构的水平表面被用于屋顶甲板，绿色区域，或太阳能电池板。在寒冷的几个月里，太阳产生的热水通过地板辐射供暖系统使房子保持温暖。

All of the structure’s horizontal surfaces are utilized for roof decks, green areas, or solar panels. Hot water generated by the sun keeps the house warm via the radiant floor heating system during colder months.
