Inspiration

在她丈夫突然去世后，我的当事人从中西部搬到了西雅图，以便更接近她的孩子。她把房子想象成一个锚，为这个家庭建立一个新的中心，一个她可以继续写作的地方。主楼层的开放式设计作为一个大厅，让整个大家庭聚集在一起，一起社交，一起吃饭。厨房的设计是功能性的，但又是漏洞百出的，把它与生活和就餐区结合起来。上面的主套房从房子的拐角处悬挑而出，成了写作的隐退。

Following the sudden loss of her husband, my client relocated from the Midwest to Seattle to be closer to her children. She envisioned the house as an anchor, establishing a new center for the family, and a place where she could pursue her writing. The open plan of the main floor functions as a hall, permitting the entire extended family to congregate, socialize, and dine together. The kitchen is designed to be functional yet porous, integrating it with the living and dining areas. The master suite above, cantilevered from the corner of the house, doubles as a writing retreat.

Problem-Solving

这个项目解决的主要问题是协调在典型西雅图住宅小区的房子中这样一个大房间的要求，并以一种优雅的方式这样做。房子坐落在地段的南边，最大限度地美化景观，并保持一个舒适的步行街景观。私人户外区域保留给沿着小巷的后院。为了使主楼层的集合空间最大化，所有其他功能都沿房屋的南缘进行压缩。一个定制的书架被设计用来存放家庭藏书。楼上的一堵长廊墙上展示了一组家庭和祖先的照片。

The main problem this project addresses is reconciling the requirement for such a large room in a house on a typical Seattle residential lot, and doing so in an elegant manner. The house is sited along the south edge of the lot, maximizing landscaping and maintaining a comfortable pedestrian streetscape. Private outdoor area is reserved for the back yard along the alley. In order to maximize congregation space on the main floor, all other functions are compressed along the south edge of the house. A custom bookshelf was designed to house the family book collection. A long gallery wall upstairs displays a photo collection of family and ancestors.

 Floor Plan

Environmental Sensitivity

墙板是一种面板化的混凝土产品，由于其耐久性和超低的维护性而被选中.面板的布局和尺寸尽量减少材料浪费：面板与玻璃边缘和外部门对齐，避免‘L’形状，而面板宽度则来自整个板材宽度的可重复部分。在可能的情况下，回收、无毒和本地来源的产品被使用.

The siding is a panelized concrete product, selected for its durability and ultra-low maintenance. The layout and sizing of the panels minimizes material waste: panels align with the edges of glazing and exterior doors, avoiding ‘L’-shapes, while panel widths derive from repeatable fractions of the overall sheet width. Recycled, reclaimed, non-toxic and locally-sourced products were used wherever possible.

Social Transformation

这个地区的几个居民每天都在附近散步。该项目在街角保留了一棵古老的、受人喜爱的邻居日本枫树，在小巷附近保留了一棵特别大的雪松树，并在北街提供了更多的绿化区域，在夏季的几个月里，树木可以遮荫。

Several residents in the area walk the neighborhood daily. The project preserves an old, beloved neighborhood Japanese maple tree on the corner, an exceptionally large cedar tree near the alley, and provides more landscaping area along the north street, with trees for shade in the summer months.
