架构师提供的文本描述。威斯顿的住宅坐落在索加塔克河附近的一个山谷里。在规划和章节中，房屋的元素以一种故意模糊了建筑和自然环境之间的过渡和区别的方式与场地接触。

Text description provided by the architects. The Weston Residence nestles in a valley adjacent to the Saugatuck River. In plan and section, the elements of the house engage the site in a way that purposefully blurs the transition and distinction between the built and natural environment.

当房子从一条从悬崖高处开始的道路靠近时，屋顶景观-或称第五立面-成为设计的一个关键要素。梯田飞机种植全年，特定地区的肉质植物走下山坡。卧室突出到这些屋顶花园，给人一种完全沉浸在景观中的感觉。种植屋顶也是高性能建筑围护结构不可或缺的组成部分。

As the house is approached from a road that begins high on a cliff above, the roofscape—or fifth façade— becomes a critical element of the design.  Terraced planes planted with year-round, region-specific succulents step down the hill.  Bedrooms project out into these roof gardens, giving a feeling of being fully immersed in the landscape.  The planted roofs are also integral to the high-performance building envelope.

内部和外部空间是通过视图、入口和材料的连续性连接起来的。玻璃背壁炉提供了一个优雅的惊喜。和其他玻璃房子一样，景观成为房间的“装饰”，白天透明，晚上反射。

Interior and exterior spaces are joined through views, portals, and material continuity.  A glass-backed fireplace provides an elegant surprise.  Like other glass houses, the landscape becomes the “decoration” for the rooms, playing with transparency during the day and reflectivity at night.
