架构师提供的文本描述。渡口上的小房子是一家季节性旅馆，由三间小木屋组成，这些小木屋由一组室外甲板连接起来，维纳海文岛位于缅因州佩诺布斯科特湾(Penobscot Bay)附近的一个岛屿上。这一设计尊重了大自然在这座岛屿上取得的平衡，在严酷的风和海洋的力量与脆弱的土壤层之间，这层土壤为花岗岩露地中的植被提供了一个很少的立足点-其中一些已经被时间割裂，而另一些则被分割和留下，成为曾经流行的花岗岩工业维纳哈弗(Vinalhav)的显眼记忆。

Text description provided by the architects. Little House on the Ferry is a seasonal guesthouse comprised of three micro cabins connected by a web of outdoor decks on Vinalhaven, an island off the coast of Maine in Penobscot Bay. The design is respectful of the balance that nature has struck on the island between harsh forces of wind and sea and a delicate layer of soil that provides a scant foothold for vegetation among granite outcroppings – some of which have been hewn by time, and others split and left behind as a visible memory of the once prevalent granite industry of Vinalhaven.

 Floor Plan

业主，主要居住在奥地利，度过他们的夏天和秋天在岛上，在一个更大，更老的住所。当附近的一处废弃的花岗岩采石场和一辆破旧的拖车出现时，他们买下了它，并计划建造一座宾馆，供家人和朋友参观。

The owners, who reside primarily in Austria, spend their summers and early fall on the island, in a larger, older residence. When the adjacent property, a defunct granite quarry with a dilapidated trailer, became available, they purchased it, with plans to build a guesthouse for visiting family and friends.

由此产生的小木屋悬停在前采石场上方的码头上，这一方法已将建筑施工对该地区脆弱的植被恢复的影响降到最低。这些小木屋由一个起居室和餐厅以及两个独立的睡房组成，每个小木屋都有一个卧室和一个浴室。这个小集群创造了一系列的亲密和私人空间，与景观有很强的视觉联系。

The resulting small cabins hover on piers above a former quarry, an approach that has minimized the impact of the building construction on the delicate recovering vegetation in the area. The cabins are comprised of a living and dining cabin and two separate sleeping cabins, each with a bedroom and bathroom. This small cluster creates a series of intimate and private spaces with strong visual connections to the landscape.

考虑到场地的偏远性和建筑位置非常脆弱的条件，选择了预制交叉层合木(Clt)面板系统。该系统是一种高度可持续且成本效益高的施工解决方案，减少了人工、旅行和对远程站点的影响。CLT板使用层层木材层合在一起的固体，双向三明治，在这种情况下是从黑云杉和预切割到魁北克的确切建筑形式。然后，通过卡车和渡船将CLT面板装船，并在现场组装，形成了每一栋建筑的整个围护结构-楼层、墙壁和屋顶。面板的结构能力和坚固性加强了小屋的极简形式和材料调色板，创造了一个干净、简单的建筑形式，材料温暖，展示了建筑系统。

Given the remote nature of the site, and the very fragile conditions of the building location, a prefabricated cross-laminated timber (CLT) panel system was chosen. This system is a highly sustainable and cost effective construction solution, reducing labor, travel, and impact on the remote site. CLT panels utilize layers of lumber laminated together in a solid, bidirectional sandwich, and in this case were milled from Black Spruce and pre-cut to the exact building form in Quebec. The CLT panels were then shipped via truck and ferry and assembled on site, forming the entire enclosure for each building—floors, walls, and roofs. The structural capacity and ruggedness of the panels reinforce the minimalist form and material palette of the cabins, creating a clean, simple building form with material warmth that showcases the construction system.
