架构师提供的文本描述。受墨西哥湾沿岸的猎枪房和变色龙皮的多才多艺的启发，变色龙强调程序的灵活性和对气候的反应。变色龙般的前屏幕元素提供了无数的正面可能性，可以使这种设计适应不同的城市环境和各种太阳能/风能方向。(鼓掌)

Text description provided by the architects. Inspired by Gulf Coast raised shotgun houses and versatility of chameleon skin, Shotgun Chameleon emphasizes programmatic flexibility and response to climate. The chameleon-like front screen element provides a myriad of facade possibilities to adapt this design to different urban contexts and to a variety of solar/wind orientations.

可能的可能性包括：涂上木壁板以与街景融合，在底层有可行的商业用途的广告牌，百叶窗木(垂直的或水平的，视方向而定)，以便在阻挡直射太阳和提供隐私的同时有微风，太阳能电池板屏幕收集太阳能，或藤蔓覆盖的屏幕让人想起法国季度阳台。

Possibilities include wood siding painted to blend with the street-scape, billboards where commercial uses are feasible on the ground floor, louvered wood (vertical or horizontal depending on orientation) to allow for breezes while blocking direct sun and providing privacy, solar panel screen to harvest solar energy, or vine covered screens reminiscent of french quarter balconies.

两侧交替的木板屏幕为居民和邻居提供了隐私，同时允许阳光和风穿过房屋(图片Ext 006)。主要的洞口正朝北和向南。南窗是一幅不断演变的城市绘画(图INT 002，吊车显示了中城区发展的新一层)，而北窗则描绘了自然的四季(图003)。

The alternating wood slats screen on the sides provides privacy for both residents and the neighbors while allowing sunlight and wind to move through the house (picture Ext 006). Major openings are facing north and south. The south windows frame an ever evolving urban painting (picture Int 002 with crane showing new layer of midtown developing) while north windows frame the four seasons of nature (picture Int 003).

可持续性考虑：

Sustainability Consideration:

- Environmental.

这所房子的设计考虑到了交叉通风。夏日的微风穿过南面的阳台和门廊，被动地通风房屋。阳台屋顶的角度是经过仔细计算的，以允许较低的冬季阳光进入室内空间(如图所示)。当更高的夏季阳光停留在室外时。更深的地板，从冬天的阳光中收获温暖。阳台和门廊，可随时打开玻璃滑动门，扩大空间(INT 001)。

The house is designed with cross ventilation in mind. Summer breeze is channeled through the south facing balcony and porch to passively ventilate the house. Angle of roof at balcony is carefully calculated to allow lower winter sunlight to enter the interior spaces (picture Int. 002) while higher summer sunlight stays outside. Darker flooring to harvest warmth from the winter sunlight. The balcony and porch which extend the spaces whenever needed by opening glass sliding doors (Int 001).

这样做不需要增加空调空间。选择可再生木材材料、高效机械设备(小型分体式交流单元和无油箱热水器)、双抽水马桶、LED照明、泡沫绝缘和低e绝缘窗户(途中雨水收集)的目的是尽量减少能源消耗(我们正在记录房屋的性能)，到目前为止，节省的能源是非常令人印象深刻的)。

This is done without adding air conditioned space. The choice of renewable wood material, high efficient mechanical equipment (mini split ac units and tankless water heater), dual flush toilet, led lighting, foam insulation and low-e insulated windows (rain harvesting on its way) aim to minimize energy consumption (we are recording the performance of the house, so far the energy savings is very impressive) .

灵活性和适应性是此设计的关键。这些特征可以延长房子的寿命，因为它可以适应需要的变化。关闭内部楼梯，房子就会变成一座楼。

Flexibility and adaptability are key to this design. These characters could prolong the life of the house as it can adapt to changes in need. Closing internal stair, the house could become a up & down duplex since each floor is equip with a kitchen and a restroom (for rental or accommodate multi-generational family arrangement) . Tenant on upper floor can use the external stairs.

同样的设置也可以作为现场工作空间，底层单元作为办公室。打开内部楼梯，这是一间3间卧室和2间浴室。租房选择产生收入，以帮助抵消抵押贷款的成本，这鼓励了一种更可持续的居者有其屋方式(目前该社区的一居室公寓租金从1200美元到1800美元不等，因此出租最底层的单元可以抵消整个每月的抵押贷款支付)。

The same setting could also be used as live-work space with the bottom unit as office. Opening the internal stairs, it is a 3 bedrooms and 2 baths house. The renting out option generate income to help offset the cost of mortgage that encourage a moresustainable way of home ownership (current one bedroom apartment rental in the neighborhood range from $1200 to $1800 so renting out the bottom unit could offset the entire monthly mortgage payment).

-公平(社会)

- Equity (social & culture)

这座房子的设计旨在重新审视和庆祝阳台和门廊生活的理念，这种观念深深植根于当地居民，弗里德曼镇。阳台不仅为居民提供了很大的社交空间，而且还鼓励人们在人行道上或街对面与邻居互动。

The design of the house aim to revisit and celebrate the idea of balcony and porch living which rooted heavily in the vernacular of the neighborhood, Freedmen's Town. The balcony not only provides a great social space for the residents but also encourages interaction with neighbors on sidewalk or across street.
