这所房子的主要目标是设计

A primary goal for this house was to design & build a modern residence that has a unique character, responds to its specific location/orientation and employs the construction technologies that are readily available, but not often used in current residential construction.

这座建筑既高又长，与城市的街道格栅直接对向西南，这座房子的方向是利用湖对面、树木上方和城市的突出景色。

With the site both highly elevated, and with its long axis aligned directly with the City street grid to the Southwest, the house was oriented to take advantage of the outstanding views across the lake, over the trees and to the City.

 Ground Floor Plan

主要的生活区被高架起来，以利用景观，并将它们与下面的街道交通活动分开。

Primary living areas were elevated to take advantage of the views and to separate them from the street traffic activity below.

广泛使用悬垂和门廊遮挡直接阳光的窗户，(降低能源成本)，同时仍然捕捉自然光，不妨碍美丽的景色。

Extensive use of overhangs and porches shield windows from direct sunlight, (reducing energy costs) while still capturing natural light and not obstructing the beautiful views.

上面的屋顶甲板作为太阳能电池板作用于下面的绝缘单层膜结构屋顶，从而降低了能源成本，延长了屋顶本身的使用寿命。

The roof deck above serves as a solar screen to the insulated single-ply membrane roof below, which reduces energy costs and extends the life of the roof itself.

这座房子的目的是表达建筑的那些东西，以混凝土地板、暴露钢结构、预制钢模块、砖石和玻璃为主要元素。

The house is intended to express those things from which it is built, with concrete floors, exposed steel structure, pre-manufactured steel modules, masonry and glass as primary elements.
