在租了多年的周末别墅后，我们的客户找到了他们喜欢的土地，并要求我们设计一个周末和夏天的家。客户特别喜欢他们以前租的房子-鸡舍变成了一间小房子-这成了我们设计的起点。

After years of renting a weekend house in the area, our clients found land they loved and asked us to design a weekend and summer home. The clients were particularly fond of one of their previous rentals — a chicken coop turned into a small house — and that became a departure point for our design.

在严格的预算范围内，该设计利用了山坡上的一个陡峭的斜坡，将地基用作山顶上的挡土墙，并用门窗打开了较低的层。这所房子从街道边看上去很小，很简陋，墙上大部分是不透明的，创造了隐私，但通向一个甲板和石头露台，正面被窗户刺穿，向卡茨基尔山望去。

Within a strict budget, the design took advantage of a steep slope in the hillside, using the foundation as a retaining wall on the high point of the hill and opening up the lower story with doors and windows. The house looks small and humble from the street side, with a mostly opaque wall creating privacy, but opens up to a deck and stone terrace, the facade punctured with windows looking to the Catskill Mountains.

 Ground Floor Plan

这所房子有四间卧室，两个半浴室，一个大的起居/厨房/用餐区和一个家庭房间。建成一年后，客户们在一条通往树林的小径上的草地上增加了一个游泳池和一个小木屋。

The house contains four bedrooms, two-and-a-half bathrooms, a large living / kitchen / dining area, and a family room.  A year after it was completed, the clients added a pool and cabana in a meadow down a path to the woods.
