架构师提供的文本描述。这座2000平方英尺的客房坐落在一块露头的岩石上，可以俯瞰鳟鱼池和开阔的农田。作为周末游客沉思的静修场所，这座房子让人体验到广阔的四周景观，视野开阔、畅通无阻。该房屋综合了许多可持续的设计战略，包括地热供暖和冷却、辐射地板、自然通风、电动太阳能遮阳板、光伏电池板和雨水收集灌溉。

Text description provided by the architects. This 2,000 square foot guest house is situated on a rock outcropping that overlooks a trout pond and open farmland. Designed as a contemplative retreat for weekend visitors, the house allows one to experience the expansive surrounding landscape with vast unobstructed views. The house integrates a number of sustainable design strategies including geothermal heating and cooling, radiant floors, natural ventilation, motorized solar shades, photovoltaic panels, and rainwater collection for irrigation.

开阔的自然景观为主要的生活区和睡眠区创造了一个令人叹为观止的背景。一间主卧室和两个带内建双层床的“沙发”角落为六名过夜客人提供住宿。

Open views to nature create a stunning backdrop for the main living and sleeping areas. A main bedroom and two ‘couchette’ nooks with built-in bunk beds provide accommodations for six overnight guests.

沙发的角落、浴室和储藏室都设在房子中间的板条木芯内。核心周围的定制木墙系统允许自然光在白天穿透家庭的内部空间；夜间，光线从木芯发出，并在生活区提供温暖、诱人的光线。板条系统还允许整个房子‘呼吸’；舒适的自然通风在整个房子，甚至在睡椅和储藏室。

The couchette nooks, bathroom, and storage rooms are housed within a slatted wood core in the middle of the house. The custom wood wall system surrounding the core allows natural light to penetrate through to the inner spaces of the home by day; at night, light emanates from the wood core and provides a warm, inviting glow in the living areas. The slatted system also allows the whole house to ‘breathe’; comfortable natural ventilation occurs throughout the house, even in the sleeping couchettes and storage closets.

房屋的结构设计依赖于4根嵌在木芯中的钢柱；屋顶悬臂从这4根柱子中伸出。这种优雅的结构解决方案使用最小数量的材料，以实现扩大，开放的客厅两端的房子。房子的外墙被设计成一个由高性能、三面玻璃组成的系统，宽度从10‘到20’不等。整个装配是在现场外预制的，装在一个集装箱里运到现场，并在2天内用起重机安装起来。

The structural design for the house relies on 4 steel columns imbedded in the wood core; the roof cantilevers out from these 4 columns. This elegant structural solution uses the minimum amount of materials to achieve expansive, open living areas at both ends of the house. The façade of the house was designed as a thermally robust system of high-performance, triple-paned glass units that vary in width from 10’ to 20’. The entire assembly was prefabricated off-site, shipped to the site in one container, and erected by crane in 2 days.

景观设计策略与房子的设计紧密相连。一个紧密的当地植被调色板突出了景观和其他自然特征的物业，同时也管理雨水流失。从现场挖掘出的当地青石板和页岩创造了室外的休息区和通道；房子和附近松树林之间的青石平台提供了一个亲密的室外房间供娱乐和就餐。蓝石台阶从露台通向烧烤区和室外淋浴在树林。

Landscape design strategies were closely tied to the design of the house. A tight palette of native vegetation highlights vistas and other natural features on the property while also managing storm water run-off. Local bluestone slabs and shale excavated from the site create outdoor seating areas and pathways; a bluestone slab terrace between the house and a nearby grove of pine trees provides an intimate outdoor room for entertaining and dining. Bluestone steps from the terrace lead to a barbeque area and an outdoor shower in the woods.
