架构师提供的文本描述。黑色山墙是简单地说，两个中等大小的门式房，喷射黑色，有一个金属屋顶。这两座建筑，一座是初级生活，另一座是工作室和暗房，都是以倾斜的角度排列在一起，以便利用最好的景色、适当的采光和整体有趣的构图。

Text description provided by the architects. Black Gables are simply put, two modest sized gabled buildings, jet black, with a metal roof. The two buildings, one for primary living and the other for a studio and darkroom are located at skewed angles to one another so as to take advantage of the best views, exposure to appropriate daylighting and an overall playful composition.

这个项目是为一位小镇医生，著名的艺术家和收藏家乔纳·参孙而设计的。

The project was designed for a small town physician, acclaimed artist and collector Jonah Samson.

这座房子是2013年5月至12月在新斯科舍省布雷顿角的一个名为Louisdale的小镇上建造的。乔纳·萨姆森在加拿大温哥华住了大约10年，他决定搬回东海岸，在一片森林覆盖的海滨房产上建一栋房子和一间工作室，这是他家族中的几代人。只有在我们砍倒了一些树之后，我们才意识到从房子里看到的景色是多么壮观。

The house was built between May and December 2013 in a small town called Louisdale on Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia. Jonah Samson had been living in Vancouver, Canada for about 10 years and decided that he wanted to move back to the east coast, and build a home and studio on a piece of forested, ocean-front property that had been in his family for generations. It was only after we cut down some of the trees, that we realized how spectacular the view from the house was going to be.

我们的目标是既节省预算，又节省森林里的建筑面积。这座房子占地1200平方英尺，有一间卧室，还有一间独立的房间，客户可以用它作为图书馆/办公室。一条宽阔的走廊一直延伸到整栋房子。这样，他就可以有一堵长长的墙来展示艺术。这间独立的工作室面积约450平方英尺，主要是一片空地，但也有一间很小的暗室。这两栋楼的预算总额约为30万美元。

The goal was to be economical with both the budget, and with the amount of space the buildings occupied in the forest.  The house is 1200 sq ft, with one bedroom, and a separate room that the client uses as a library/office.  A wide hallway runs down the entire length of the house, so that he could have a long wall to display art.  The detached studio is about 450 sq ft, which is primarily an open space, but also houses a small dark room.  The total budget for both buildings was about $300,000.

这座房子是用当地的所有材料和劳动力建造的。它是用混凝土板建造的，有一个木框架。房子的外部是由材质(全是黑色)组成的，包括金属外套屋顶、雪松瓦和窗户之间的金属覆层。我们决定在屋顶、瓦和窗户上花钱。通过使用预制结构来省钱，使用当地所有的建筑商和承包商也使我们节省了大量的总预算。(鼓掌)

The house was built using all local materials and labor.  It was built on a concrete slab, with a wood frame.  The exterior of the house is a composition of textures (all black), including a metal jacket roof, cedar shingles and metal cladding between the windows.  We decided to spend money on the roof, shingles and windows, and save money by using a pre-fabricated structure.  Using all local builders and contractors also allowed us to save a lot on the total budget.
