架构师提供的文本描述。麦迪逊公园的房子是最新的定制规格的房子设计和建造的第一个灯。这栋房子坐落在西雅图麦迪逊公园(MadisonPark)附近的一片陡峭的斜坡上，它从山坡上生长出来，让主要的居住空间漂浮在树木之间。这座3200 SF，5个卧室的房子将是能源之星认证的住宅，目标是四星级绿色建筑。令人畏惧和固执，同时也鼓舞人心，网站是我们真正的客户。在过去的几年里，这里曾发生过少量的山体滑坡，所以直到最近，这个被掩藏起来的地方才被忽视或避免。在与我们的“地面小组”(工程师、挖掘机和地基分包商)进行了一系列实地考察之后，我们了解到两件事：1)这里的开发实际上将提高场地的稳定性；2)因此，在设计过程中，它将成为周围景观和社区的一项资产-我们经常用一棵树来比喻我们的设计目标：

Text description provided by the architects. The Madison Park house is the latest custom-spec house to be designed and built by First Lamp. Situated on an existing steep slope lot in the Madison Park neighborhood of Seattle the house grows out of the hillside and allows the main living space to float out amongst the trees. This 3,200 sf, 5 Bedroom house will be an energy star certified residence and is targeted to be 4-star built green. Daunting and stubborn while also inspiring, the site was our true client . A handful of landslides had occurred here in past years, so this tucked-away location had been ignored or avoided until recently. After a series of site visits with our “ground team" (engineers, excavator, and foundation subcontractors), we came to understand two things: 1) That development here would actually increase the stability of the site and 2) It would therefore be an asset to the surrounding landscape and community During the design process we often used a tree as a metaphor for our design goals:

将结构与景观和地形敏感地结合起来，以深根系统稳定山坡，减少雨水对场地及其周围环境的影响。

Sensitively Integrate Structure with Landscape and topography Stabilize the hillside with a deep root system Reduce storm water impact to the site and its surroundings.

在许多方面，对这些目标的设计反应是非常直截了当的。54桩，5根螺旋锚固，110码混凝土支撑结构，保留山坡。这些被整合到最小的可行足迹，允许地形包围和包围房子的主干。主要的生活空间是悬挑在这个基础上，就像树枝到达太阳一样。壁板是几乎100%的雪松，烧焦，以更密切地反映深环境的颜色下的一片成熟的树木。房子的顶部有近2000平方英尺的居住屋顶，用作过滤器、海绵和居民的审美设施。

In many ways, the design response to these goals is very literal. 54 Pin piles, 5 helical anchors, and 110 yards of concrete support the structure and retain the hillside. These are consolidated to the smallest feasible footprint, allowing the topography to surround and envelop the trunk of the house. The main living space is cantilevered from this base much the same way the branches of a tree reach for the sun. The siding is almost 100% cedar, charred to more closely reflect the deep ambient color under a grove of mature trees. The house is topped with almost 2000 square feet of living roof which acts as a filter, a sponge, and an aesthetic amenity for the residents.
