架构师提供的文本描述。这座4900平方英尺的房子坐落在马里兰州的卡宾约翰，坐落在修剪整齐的草坪的尽头，可以俯瞰靠近C河的陡坡林地的边缘。

Text description provided by the architects. Located in Cabin John, Maryland, this 4,900 square foot house is sited at the end of a manicured lawn, and looks over the edge of a steeply sloping wooded site adjacent to the C&O Canal and the Potomac River. A light-filled double height circulation axis separates the house’s main volumes, while transverse axes further organize the spaces.

玻璃和钢桥穿过循环空间，连接二楼的体积。以大面积玻璃为界的初级居住空间面向河流，而次要空间则向草坪开放。

Glass and steel bridges cross the circulation space to connect the volumes on the second floor. Primary living spaces bounded by large expanses of glass are oriented towards the river, while secondary spaces open to the lawn.

大型悬挂式防护罩在夏季不受太阳照射，为户外生活提供空间，即使在恶劣的天气中也是如此。与地热暖通空调，日照，和可操作的窗户和门提供交叉通风，房子仍然是节能的，尽管它使用了大量的玻璃。

Large overhangs shield glazing from solar gain in the summer and provide space for outdoor living, even in inclement weather. Combined with geothermal HVAC, day lighting, and operable windows and doors to provide cross ventilation, the house remains energy efficient despite employing its large amount of glass.

内部的细节很少。完成包括磨练和凿庞贝城石，灰地板，胡桃磨坊和白色大理石台面。室内设计的目的是让人们看到树林和河流，提供基本的视觉体验。

Interiors are minimally detailed. Finishes include honed and chiseled Pompeii stone, ash flooring, walnut millwork and white marble countertops. The interior is designed to allow views toward the woods and river to provide the primary visual experience.
