架构师提供的文本描述。石板屋被认为是一个现场安装，揭示了一个预先存在的景观。作为对整个场地的全面重组，该项目认为房子是一个更大的整体的一个组成部分。

Text description provided by the architects. Slate House was conceived as an in-situ installation that reveals a pre-existing landscape. Approached as a comprehensive reconfiguration of an entire site, the project considers the house as one component of a greater whole.

该遗址位于蒙特利尔郊区拉瓦尔，是历史农田新分区中的一块残片。该项目保留了之前的细分功能，包括自然地形，一条小溪，和成熟的落叶林。

Located in Laval, a suburb of Montreal, the site is a residual parcel in a new subdivision laid out over historic farmland. The project preserves features pre-dating the subdivision including natural topography, a small stream, and a mature deciduous grove.

该项目周围的地势已被推土机夷为平地，因此提出了另一种选择：保护和改善该遗址的历史景观，并重申其农业和领土记忆。

Surrounded by lots whose terrain has been bulldozed to build tract houses, the project proposes an alternative: the conservation and enhancement of the site’s historic landscape and the reaffirmation of its agricultural and territorial memory.

石板屋与周围的房屋形成了鲜明的对比。从郊区街道到内部庭院，再到森林和溪流，这座房子是一处独特的牧区，是一片被庇护的绿洲。两个正交体积框架，庭院和自然变化的等级从街道到溪流是用来滑动较低层下的主层。两层楼都向四合院、溪流和西南方向开放。

Slate House stands in sharp contrast to the tract houses that surround it. Orchestrating a progressive discovery from suburban street to interior courtyard to forest and stream, the house is a sheltered oasis in a unique pastoral setting. Two orthogonal volumes frame the courtyard and the natural change in grade from street to stream is used to slide a lower storey under the main level. Both floors open laterally to the courtyard, the stream, and the southwest sun.

该项目要求提供独特的居住环境，包括宽敞的车库和业主收藏的老式汽车的车间，以及一套完整的客房公寓。位于较低层的客用公寓直接在庭院上开放，而上面的主要起居区与一个木廊和一个游泳池相连。

The program called for unique living accommodations that include a spacious garage and workshop for the owner’s collection of vintage automobiles and a full guest apartment. Located on the lower level, the guest apartment opens directly on the courtyard while the main living area above is connected to a wood gallery and a swimming pool.

 Ground Floor Plan

该建筑外部结合了天然板条瓦安装使用传统的组装方法与薄片玻璃和工厂制造的铝窗。手工石板在传统宗教建筑中普遍存在，在这里表现为一种坚决的当代材料。

The building exterior combines natural slate shingles installed using traditional methods of assembly with sheet glass and factory-made aluminum windows. Commonly found in traditional religious architecture, the artisanal slate finds expression here as a resolutely contemporary material.

石板屋集地热和被动式太阳能供暖、天然水收集、当地植物种类和低能电器配件于一体。通过慷慨地利用其发现的景观，住宅在居民与特定地点的历史和文化之间建立起一种基本联系。

Slate House integrates such sustainable features as geothermal and passive solar heating, natural water collection, local species of vegetation, and low-energy electrical fittings. By generously engaging its found landscape, the house initiates a fundamental connection between the inhabitant and the history and culture of a specific place.
