架构师提供的文本描述。新迦南人的住宅坐落在康涅狄格州这片森林茂密的山顶上。房子的设计是为了融入景观，让居住者沉浸在网站提供的所有环境中。建成的房子没有显示出它的温和开端：这是一座1950年代的房子的翻新，它有一系列从60年代和70年代开始的毫无同情心的增加，其主人最初只想升级厨房。

Text description provided by the architects. The New Canaan Residence is nestled into a lush hilltop site in this forested part of Connecticut. The house was designed to engage the landscape and immerse the occupants in the full range of environments that the site offers. What the completed house doesn't show is its modest beginnings: this is a renovation of a 1950's house which had a series of unsympathetic additions from the 60's and 70's, and whose owners originally wanted only a kitchen upgrade.

新迦南的住宅欢迎它的主人和他们的游客进入一个感觉像漂浮在树冠上的亭子。一条蜿蜒的车道带着游客穿过森林，来到了一个低矮而优雅的庭院，这里是玻璃入口处的框架。从这个法庭上看，房子的透明度是显而易见的：从地板到天花板的玻璃可以透过房子看到风景，把景观融入房子的身体。树冠成为建筑的一部分，创造出一个可视的周界，随着季节的变化而变化。

The New Canaan Residence welcomes its owners and their visitors into what feels like a floating pavilion in the tree canopy. A winding drive brings visitors through the forest to arrive at a low and gracious landscaped court that frames the glass entry pavilion. From this court, the transparency of the house is evident: floor-to-ceiling glass allows views through the house, incorporating the landscape into the body of the house. The tree canopy becomes a part of the architecture and creates a visual perimeter that changes with the seasons.

上层的特色是家庭的主要聚会空间，以及卧室和健身房。坐落在独立壁炉后面的楼梯通向房子的较低层，这是刻在地面上的，可以直接看到森林地板上的景色。较低层提供额外的社交空间，并设有媒体室、图书馆和两个家庭办公室。较低层次的空间连接到一系列的“室外房间”，其中有壁炉和独特的座位区域。较低层的接地，舒适的性质提供了一个经验对比的膨胀和光填充的水平以上。游泳池和独立的游泳池强调了项目的强大线条和古典的现代根源。

The upper level features the home's primary gathering spaces, as well as bedrooms and a gymnasium. A staircase tucked behind the free-standing fireplace opens on to the lower level of the house, which is carved into the earth and gives views directly onto the forest floor. The lower level provides additional social spaces and features a media room, library, and two home offices. The lower level spaces link to a series of “outdoor rooms” that feature a fireplace and distinct seating areas. The grounded, cozy nature of the lower level provides an experiential contrast to the expansive and light-filled level above. The swimming pool and separate pool house emphasize the project’s strong lines and classically modern roots.
