架构师提供的文本描述。设置在悬崖边的一个非常珍爱的湖泊，这间小屋寻求加强非凡的周围风景，通过深思熟虑的结合建筑元素和自然资产的场地和地形。这座民居是从悬崖的岩层中出现的，使用相同的当地花岗岩形成它的底座。一个中央核心充当一个锚，将运动、光和空气循环到生活空间中，并将其悬挑到景观中。尽管规模不大，但四口之家可以轻松地容纳四口之家，为他们提供就餐、烹饪、生活、阅读和睡觉的便利设施，每个设施都精心地调节着悬崖独特的景色、光线和微风。为了平衡从壁炉中产生的沉重重量；悬臂式的体积，飞顶和地板到天花板的玻璃被用来实现一种轻盈的形式，因为它的工作是把湖水带入生活空间。

Text description provided by the architects. Set on the Cliffside of a much-cherished lake, this cottage seeks to enhance the extraordinary surrounding scenery through the thoughtful integration of building elements with the natural assets of the site and terrain. This dwelling emerges form the rock formation of the cliff using the same local granite to form its base. A central core acts as an anchor that circulates movement, light and air into the living spaces that pinwheel and cantilever off into the landscape. In spite of its modest scale, the residence easily accommodates the family of four by providing amenity for dinning, cooking, living, reading and sleeping which are each carefully tuned to the unique view, light and breezes of the cliff. To balance the heavy mass derived from the fireplaces; cantilevered volumes, flying roofs and floor to ceiling glass are used to achieve a lightness of form as it works to bring the lake into the living spaces.

由于业主对可持续发展的强烈授权，轻松地生活对业主来说是很重要的。作为对城市生活的一种退却，完全自给自足和独立于外部基础设施的愿望在设计一个完全脱离电网的住宅时变得至关重要。采用两层方法来利用这两种被动策略，这两种策略都可以减少能量负荷和增加舒适度，从而使主动策略足以满足剩余的能源需求。在这种情况下，节能设计并不脱离住宅的经验性，而是用来加强建筑与景观的统一，以满足业主的需要。

Living lightly on the site was important to the owners due to their strong mandate for sustainability. As a retreat from urban life, the desire to become completely self sufficient and independent from external infrastructure became critical in the design of a completely off grid residence. A two tiered approach is implemented to take advantage of both passive strategies which work to reduce energy loads and augment comfort so that the active strategies are sufficient to provide for the remaining energy needs. Energy efficient design in this case is not divorced from the experiential qualities of the dwelling but is used to enhance the unification of building to the landscape for the pleasure of its owners.

该系统实现了一种被动增益和太阳质量策略，它利用了太阳的每日传播和每个空间不同季节的空气运动。在夏季，太阳遮阳限制了热量的增加，而可操作的窗户被定位，以利用自然通风。中央循环空间中的可操作窗口是为了利用烟囱效应而设计的，这样就可以排出热的、陈腐的空气，并吸入凉爽的新鲜空气。绿色屋顶的设计是为了调节温度和控制径流，同时将建筑前景与遥远的景观连接起来。冬季，以混凝土板、石墙和两个室内壁炉的形式结合优化的玻璃化和太阳能定向，将太阳的辐射能储存起来，形成供暖系统的基础。一种高性能的围护结构设计还可以限制不利的热量损失，全年都能获得。采用真空管太阳能阵列收集太阳能量，收集储存在10个热质量储罐中的热水。通过面板收集到的热水，然后输入到一个水合辐射地板系统，以确保高效地利用技术。使用了一系列的光伏电池板，为物业上的建筑物提供电力。为了确保他们的成功，电气负荷被精心管理，并通过选择节能电器和LED照明来最小化。为了丰富住宅的热量供应，利用先进的地热系统和砌体加热器，充分利用了现场可供利用的丰富的生物质和潜热。

This system implements a passive gain and solar mass strategy that takes advantage of the sun’s daily passage and the movement of air in different seasons for each space. In summer, solar shading limits heat gain while operable windows are orientated to take advantage of natural ventilation. The operable windows in the central circulation space are designed to make use of the stack effect so that hot stale air is vented out and cool fresh air is drawn in. Green roofs are designed to mediate temperatures and control runoff while connecting the building foreground with the distant landscape. In winter, optimized glazing and solar orientation are used in conjunction with thermal mass in the form of concrete slabs and stone walls and the two interior fireplaces to store the sun’s radiant energy to form the base of the heating system. A high performance envelope design also works to limit unfavorable heat loss and gains all year round. Evacuated tube solar arrays are used collect the sun’s energy to collect hot water that is stored in 10 thermal mass tanks. The hot water collected through the panels then feed into a hydronic radiant floor system to ensure a highly efficient use of technology. A series of photovoltaic panels are used to provide the buildings on the property with electricity. To ensure their success, the electrical loads are carefully managed and are minimized by selecting energy efficient appliances and LED lighting. To round out the supply of heat in the residence, advanced geothermal systems with masonry heaters are used to take full advantage of abundant biomass and latent heat available on site.
