架构师提供的文本描述。这个项目是从一个山路导游的家开始的。因为房子最初是自建的，所以它有着独特的灵魂。在所有权改变之后，纯粹的“职业”也发生了变化。现在把它作为第二个家，新主人想要更多的光，更壮观的景色。

Text description provided by the architects. This project started with a mountain guide’s home. Because the house was originally self-built, it had a unique soul. After a change in ownership, Solelyâ’s “vocation” also changed. Now using it as a second home, the new owners wanted more light, more spectacular views.

位于谷底的一个天然海角上，周围是岩石面，使它看起来像一座天然的堡垒，只有一个绝佳的地点和方向。

Located on a natural promontory in the lower Valley, surrounded by rock faces giving it the appearance of a natural fortress, Solelyâ boasts a superb site and orientation.

挑战是避免失去迷人的和传统的原创建筑的精髓，同时整合更新的设计、现代材料和创新解决方案。该项目之所以成为可能，是因为新业主的建筑素养，以及他们对美的敏感性和他们对高质量建筑的欣赏。总之，建筑师和业主说的是同一种语言。

The challenge was to avoid losing the essence of the charming and traditional original building while integrating an updated design, modern materials and innovative solutions. The project was made possible by the architectural literacy of the new owners, as well as their sensitivity to beauty and their appreciation for high quality construction. In a word, the architect and the owners spoke the same language.

特色-是第一个在库珀，在莱斯豪斯公社有一个绿色屋顶甲板。这一选择和关于第五立面的工作是经过深思熟虑的进程和尊重环境的愿望-不仅从生态角度，而且在尊重方面，将直接视线限制在邻国身上。在这些陡峭的Coupeaux山坡上，从屋顶上可以看到山下邻居的景色。

Features Solelyâ is the first home with a green roof deck in Coupeaux, in the commune of Les Houches. That choice and the work on the fifth façade resulted from a considered process and a desire to respect the environment – not only in ecological terms but in terms of respect, by limiting direct sightlines to neighbours. On these steep Coupeaux hillsides, the view from a roof includes a view of downhill neighbours.

为了符合合理的热调节原理，在优化利用太阳能方面做了大量的工作。面对太阳的正面被打开，而建筑没有朝北的开口。现有建筑采用高性能的解决方案进行隔热和翻新，主要的新功能是增加一个与整个建筑规模相一致的居住空间，以最大限度地利用这个坐落在山里的好地方。

In keeping with sound principles of thermal regulation, significant work went into optimizing the use of solar energy. The sun-facing façades were opened up, while the building has no north-facing openings. The existing building was insulated and renovated with high-performance solutions. The main new feature is the addition of a living space consistent with the scale of the entire building, to make the most of this fine site nestled in the mountains.

材料和组织增加了空间，一个由玻璃和抛光漆黑铝组成的房间，与原木建筑形成鲜明对比。这种对比体现在不同空间的使用上，最初的低天花板结构居住着私人空间和卧室，而现代部分则包含了为社交而设计的共享空间。

Materials and Organization The added space, a room made of glass and polished and lacquered black aluminum, contrasts with the original timber construction. That contrast is carried through to the uses of the different spaces, with the original low-ceilinged structure housing private spaces and bedrooms, while the modern section contains shared spaces designed for socializing.

唯一-现在有两个个性，反映在它的两个独特的入口：一个实用的，面向家庭的入口，和一个更戏剧性的入口，为客人。

Solelyâ now has two personalities, reflected in its two distinct entrances: a practical, family-oriented entrance, and a more dramatic entrance for guests.

 Floor Plan

悬臂结构的唯一-是特别精致，没有任何支柱。坐落在一个海角，它让人想起我们可以看到的房屋，可以俯瞰马里布的太平洋海岸高速公路，距离库珀非常远。

The cantilevered structure of Solelyâ is particularly refined, lacking any posts. Situated on a promontory, it evokes homes we might see overlooking the Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu, so very far from Coupeaux.
