这片土地原来是由一个车库占据的，这个车库被改建成了一个小的居住空间。为了增加社区的密度，在伦顿市的合作下，客户被允许用一个建筑意义重大的新家来取代这个改建的车库。

The lot was originally occupied by a garage which had been converted into a small living space. In an effort to increase the density of the neighborhood, with the cooperation of the city of Renton, the clients were allowed to replace this converted garage with an architecturally significant new home.

客户都是热衷于骑自行车的人，所以较低的楼层有一个独立的入口和宽敞的自行车储藏和修理区域。上面两层是阁楼一样的，开放的，大的滑动玻璃门打开到湖边。一个暴露在楼梯上的钢制弯矩框架，把家里的金属和玻璃支撑到它的混凝土构件上。木壁板在东南角有一个插入的门廊，为房子的外部增添了温暖和质感。

The clients are avid bicyclists, so the lower level of the building features a separate entrance and ample area for bike storage and repair. The upper two levels are loft like and open, with large sliding glass doors opening up to the lake. An exposed steel moment frame, located in the stairway, braces the home’s metal and glass to its concrete components. Wood siding lines an insertedporch at the south-east corner, adding warmth and texture to the home’s exterior.

 Floor Plan

这座房子的设计是为了提供私人空间，同时也可以利用华盛顿湖的壮丽景色。为了从邻居那里获得隐私，由混凝土和波纹金属壁板组成的南墙和东墙折叠起来，提供一个有限开口的外壳。为了适应广阔的华盛顿湖景观，西墙和北墙由一个细长的钢框架构成，支撑着一个完全由玻璃制成的外墙。由于房子的面积很小，它的院子被设想成从一楼到车库水平的一系列露台，中间有一个大的可居住的落地。这一系列的空间把原本高大的房子和它的小院子连接起来。

The house was designed to provide private spaces that also take advantage of the brilliant views of Lake Washington. To provide privacy from the neighbors, the south and east walls, made of concrete and corrugated metal siding, fold to provide an enclosure with limited openings. To accommodate the expansive Lake Washington view, the west and north walls are made of a slender steel frame which supports a façade made entirely of glass. Because of the home’s tiny lot, its yard was conceived as a series of patios cascading from the ground floor to the garage level with a large habitable landing in-between. This series of spaces links the otherwise tall house to its small yard.

这座房子坐落在一小块空地上，三面都是公共空间，显着地展现出各种各样的绿色特色。一个蝴蝶屋顶被雕刻成排水到一个单一的点，在那里雨水收集在蓄水池位于建筑物的北侧。横跨西面的立面是一个铝制店面，压力平衡，以防止湖面上的强风对水的渗透。此外，室外机械滚筒遮阳控制西面曝光，尽量减少太阳热量的增加。房子的南立面是用超高效率的保温混凝土模板建造的，这给出了建筑的热质量.此外，一个绿色的墙，从家里的雨水收集，是计划生长在整个南面。房子的屋顶上覆盖着白色的屋顶膜，减少了夏季的热量增加。此外，屋顶是光伏和热水取暖板的家，这增加了建筑的能源效率。

Situated on a tiny lot with public space on three sides, the house prominently displays an extensive variety of green features. A butterfly roof is sculpted to drain to a single point, where rainwater is collected in cisterns located on the north side of the building. Spanning the west elevation is an aluminum storefront façade, pressure-balanced to prevent water infiltration from powerful winds generated over the lake. In addition, outdoor mechanical roller shades control western exposure, minimizing solar heat gain. The house’s south elevation is built with super-efficient insulated concrete formwork, which gives the building thermal mass. In addition, a green wall, watered from the home’s rainwater collection, is planned to grow on the entire south facade. The home’s roof is covered with a white roof membrane that reduces heat gain in the summer. In addition, the roof is home to photovoltaic and hot water heating panels which add to the building’s energy efficiency.

为了响应业主和项目团队的设计理念，强调了与当地工匠和制造商的合作。高性能的窗户系统、防晒霜、能源产品和先进的建筑材料等项目通常都是在当地采购的。

To answer to the design concepts of the owner and project team, emphasis was given to collaborating with local craftsmen and manufacturers. Such items as high performance window systems, sun screens, energy products, and advanced building materials were typically all sourced locally.
