架构师提供的文本描述。这片位于华盛顿州西北部的大地块位于岩溪公园(Rock Creek Park)附近，很容易到达康涅狄格大道(Connecticut Avenue)上的商店和餐馆，为一个年轻家庭在这个受欢迎的社区建造新房子提供了一个理想的机会。

Text description provided by the architects. Located within close proximity to Rock Creek Park, and with easy access to the shops and restaurants on Connecticut Avenue, this large lot in Northwest Washington, DC presented a desirable opportunity for a young family to build a new house in this sought-after neighborhood.

该项目旨在尊重相邻房屋的规模和街景的节奏，与相邻的房屋保持一致，同时保留街道和房屋之间的绝大多数成熟树木和绿色空间。构成外部的材料，包括石头、木材和灰泥，从街道的角度看，房子看起来相对坚固，窗户的战略性放置确保了街道的隐私和面向街道的空间。

Designed to respect both the scale of neighboring houses and the rhythm of the streetscape, the project aligns with adjacent houses while retaining the vast majority of mature trees and green space located between the street and the house.  Materials composing the exterior, which include stone, wood and stucco, evoke traditional materials found throughout the neighborhood.  The house appears relatively solid when viewed from the street with strategically placed windows insuring privacy to the street-facing spaces.

“L”型的房子是围绕着室外的生活空间和游泳池组织起来的，面向大的、朝南的后院。从地板到天花板的玻璃提供充足的视觉和物理连接的梯田，游泳池和森林景观以外。一个屏蔽的门廊，有盖的甲板，屋顶上的甲板和阳台继续这一对话。一座小桥和一条石路把房子和梯田与地产后部树木繁茂、修剪不那么整齐的景观连接起来。

The “L” shaped house is organized around the outdoor living spaces and swimming pool, and is oriented towards the large, south facing rear yard. Floor to ceiling expanses of glass provide ample visual and physical connectivity to the terraces, the swimming pool and the wooded landscape beyond. A screened porch, covered deck, roof top deck and balconies continue this dialogue. A small bridge and a stone path engage the house and terraces with the wooded, less manicured landscape at the rear of the property.

室内环境温暖，光线充足，排列整齐，空间组织清晰。各种木材种类，包括白橡木、桑托斯桃花心木、红木和各种斑马林(所有经森林认证或重组的产品)与石灰石和各种花岗岩结合，提供了丰富的材料调色板。天窗的大量使用创造了不断变化的光线条件，激活了内部。

The interiors are warm, light filled and ordered with a clear spatial organization.  Various wood species, including white oak, Santos mahogany, rosewood and various zebrawoods (all forest certified or reconstituted products) combine with limestone and various granites to provide a rich material palette.  Generous use of skylights creates changing light conditions that activate the interior.

尽管这座房子的体积相对较大，而且玻璃的使用范围很广，但这座房子仍然非常节能。虽然大量的窗户和天窗提供了充足的日照，但计算机程序遮阳装置调节了太阳能的增益。地热暖通空调系统，包括热水供暖，与太阳能热水管和光伏电池板相结合，目的是提供一个净零能源的房子。

Despite the relatively large size of this house and the extensive use of glass, the house remains incredibly energy efficient. While the large amount of windows and skylights provide generous day-lighting, computer programmed shading devices modulate solar gain.  A geothermal HVAC system, including hydronic heating, combines with solar hot water tubes and photovoltaic panels with the goal of providing a net zero energy house.
