Text description provided by the architects. Ljos

我们生活在每年因北极和热带而异的气候中。我们冬季光线的匮乏与夏天的充足形成了鲜明的对比。在我们的纬度上，它独特的性质以北欧语言表达，其变化与雪的词语一样多。Ljos描述的是白色，在世界变暗和变蓝时，白色对我们的心理生存至关重要。我们的家像我们的祖先一样努力捕捉光线。前两次反弹，是地板和天花板。温暖蓝色至纯白色。所有其他元素保持，反映和扩散的白色。

We live in a climate which varies annually varying from arctic to tropical. And our scarcity of light in winter contrasts with its abundance in summer.  Its distinct nature at our latitude was articulated in the Norse languages with as many variations as words for snow.  Ljos describes whiteness which becomes essential to our psychological survival as the world turns dark and blue.  Our home strives to capture light as our ancestors did.  The first two bounces, floor and ceiling, warm the blue to pure white.  All other elements maintain, reflect and diffuse the whiteness.

在我们的神话中，橡树是一棵世界之树，它通过力量来表达美，通过它的根把天空和陆地连接起来。我们开始创造一个栖息在橡树中的地方，保存在材料上，生活在景观中。现存的三棵橡树决定了它的形式和程序。主要的居住空间指向东方的橡树。高架的室内/室外居住空间位于西方橡树的树冠上。在里面，白橡树取代了天空和土地，延伸到眼睛之外，引导身体穿过空间。

The oak, in our mythology, is Yggdrasil, a world tree.  It expresses beauty through strength and connects the sky to the terrestrial through its roots.  We set out to create a place which inhabits oak, preserved in material and living in the landscape.  Three existing oaks dictate its form and program.  Main living spaces point to the oak to the east.  Elevated indoor/outdoor living spaces reside in the canopy of those to the west.  Inside, white oak replaces the sky and land, stretches beyond the eye, and guides the body through space.

我们生活在西部的大平原和东部的大湖区之间。这个地区被橡树和白杨树大草原所主导，在一片植被的马赛克中。我们在这个地带的特殊时刻是圣保罗-鲍德温平原和摩兰人区。它是中西部的草原森林边界。我们的反应不是恢复性的，但是生态的一致性。在正式化的过程中，所有物种及其比例在历史上都符合土地的特定性质。高大的草地草原、苔藓、蓝石和鱼尾草生活在橡树和杨木林下。边缘是清晰的，但在土地上、地上和旁边都有不规则的结构。

We live in a transition between The Great Plains to the west and the Great Lakes to the east.  This zone is dominated by the oak and aspen savannas amidst a mosaic of vegetation.  Our particular moment in this zone is the St. Paul-Baldwin Plains and Moraines subsection.  It is the prairie forest border of the Midwest.  Our response is not restorative, but ecological consistency.  While formalized, all species and their proportions are historically accurate to the land’s specific nature.  Tall grass prairie, moss, blue stone, and fescues live under groves of oak and aspen.  Edges are clear, but irregular and structures exist in, on, and aside the land.
