架构师提供的文本描述。从20世纪50年代开始，人们就有意识地决定把这栋房子的设计扎根于由罗恩·托姆(RonThom)和阿瑟·埃里克森(Arthur Erickson)等建筑师开创的西海岸地区白话地区。风格的特点是后和梁建筑与暴露的木材结构成员，广泛的玻璃，开放式平面图，内部-外部环节，木材饰面，平屋顶，朝向景观和微妙的平衡与自然的环境。

Text description provided by the architects. A conscious decision was made to root the design of the house in the regional, west coast vernacular pioneered by architects such as Ron Thom andArthur Erickson, beginning in the 1950s. The stylei s characterized by post-and beam-construction with exposed timber structural members, extensive glazing, open floor plans, interior-exterior links, wood finishes, flat roofs, orientation to views and a delicate balance with the natural setting.

这些要素被仔细整合，以确定区域架构的新的和创新的愿景。这套私人住宅的设计回应了客户在一处珍贵的海滨房产上建造“现代木屋”的愿望。他们被两种理想所困扰：一方面是乡村的加拿大木屋，另一方面是现代主义的玻璃房子。通过使用表现性的结构，扩大的玻璃，和最小的材料调色板，该项目将这一挑战作为其基本概念，力求调和乡村与现代在形式，物质，和组织。

 These elements were carefully integrated to define a new and innovative vision of regional architecture. The design of this private residence responds to the clients’ desire for a “modern log cabin” on a precious piece of oceanfront property. They were torn between two ideals: on the one hand the rustic Canadian log cabin and on the other the modernist glass house. Through the use of expressive structure, expanses of glass, and a minimal material palette, the project took this challenge as its fundamental concept, striving to reconcile the rustic with the modern in form, materiality, and organization.

这座房子是以桥梁的形式设计的，它创造了一个最小的足迹，并在现场实现了高水平的环境性能，同时允许当地的草和植物在下面生长。随着地形的变化，房屋被定义为两部分-一块坚实的石头基，它指的是现场现有的岩石露头，以及一座轻木“桥”，位于石头上。有一个宁静的内部庭院，不受盛行的东南风的保护，厚木的强烈水平代表地平线，而海洋一侧的透明度打开了整个房子，令人惊叹的海洋全景。

The house has been designed in the form of a bridge, creating a minimal footprint and achieving a high level of environmental performance on the site, while allowing native grasses and flora to grow underneath. Working with the topography, the house is defined in two parts—a solid stone base sunk into the land, referencing the existing rock outcrops on the site, and a light timber “bridge” resting on the stone. With a tranquil internal courtyard protected from the prevailing southeast winds, the strong horizontals of the heavy timbers reference the horizon, and transparency on the ocean side opens the full house to stunning panoramic views of the sea.
