架构师提供的文本描述。避风塘坐落在一个安静的16英亩土地上，坐落在一片高大茂密的山毛榉林中，一直延伸到湖滨。建筑物的方向放大了这一坡度，对树木和水的看法具有同等的价值。

Text description provided by the architects. The retreat rests on a quiet 16 acre site amongst a tall, dense beech forest that descends to lakeshore. The orientation of the building magnifies this slope and places equal value on views to the trees and the water.

进入现场后，你会遇到四个单独的黑衣建筑，它们将车库的平淡功能隔开。屋外矗立着白色的砖石、书头、墙面和裸露的木柱，与森林平行。

Entering the site you are met by four separate black-clad structures which separates the prosaic functions of a garage. Beyond stands the house with white masonry bookend facades and sidewalls of exposed wood columns mirroring the forest parallel.

重复的灌木林柱引诱你沿着柱廊到前面的入口。与以黑色为主的外观相反，你在中间进入一个较轻的木衬大厅。早晨和晚上的灯光充满了空间，有节奏的木质结构提供了一个开放的计划，伸缩的空间流入和俯瞰彼此。

The repetition of the glulam columns entices you along a colonnade to the front entry. Contrary to the predominately black exterior, you enter at a midlevel to a lighter wood-lined hall. Morning and evening light fill the space and the rhythmic wood structure provides an open plan with telescoping spaces flowing into and overlooking each other.

鉴于客户都是热心的厨师，明亮的红色厨房是中心的公共区域。把厨房和上面的起居室分隔开来的是一个白色的砖石壁炉，它连接到西边露台上的室外烟囱，进一步缩小了内外之间的界线。

Given the clients are avid chefs the bright red kitchen is the central communal area. Dividing the kitchen from the above living area is a white-painted masonry fireplace which makes a connection to the outdoor chimney standing sentinel on the West patio, further diminishing the line between inside and outside.

卧室退过起居室，在上面的阁楼里有更多的房间。远处有一间带草皮屋顶的独立砖石桑拿和一座黑色雕塑，标志着波切宫。尽管它开放，但它仍保留着一种亲密的感觉，一种神秘的感觉，在智力和情感上都激发了想象力。

The sleeping area recedes past the living room with additional rooms located in the above mezzanine.  In the distance there is a stand-alone masonry sauna with sod roof and a black sculpture marking the bocce court.  Despite its openness, the retreat retains an intimate feel, a mystery, stimulating the imagination in both intellectual and emotional ways.
