架构师提供的文本描述。在一个越来越普遍和不自然的世界里，我们感兴趣的是创造出符合一个地方的特殊性的建筑。埃德兰住宅是由一位科幻作家委托的，他被21世纪人类居住在废弃工业区的城市边缘所吸引。

Text description provided by the architects. In an increasingly generic and de-natured world, we are interested in producing architecture tuned to the specificity of a place. The Edgeland residence is commissioned by a science fiction writer enthralled with 21st century human habitation in the urban frontiers of abandoned industrial zones.

 Floor Plan

与19世纪德克萨斯州查尔斯·古德奈特上校(Col Charles Goodnight)第一次在JA农场挖掘一样，这一设计也受到了“坑屋”的启发。“坑屋”是北美最古老的住房类型之一，自古以来就被印第安人所使用。

Not unlike Col Charles Goodnight's first dug out at the JA ranch in 19th century Texas, the design is inspired by the vernacular of the “pit house”, one of the oldest housing typology in North America used by Native Americans through the ages.

这个褐田填海工程最大限度地减少了对工地的干扰，因为以前挖出的雪佛龙一条旧管道在悬崖上留下了一道伤疤，这两个新的绿色屋顶翅膀相互遮挡着，互相遮挡着阳光，这是一种试图通过修复斜坡来治愈土地，并使野生动物恢复原状的一种尝试。

This brownfield reclaim project minimized disturbance to the site, as the previous excavations to remove an old Chevron pipeline left a scar on the bluff, the two new green roofed wings sheltering each other from the sun is an attempt to heal the land by restoring the slope and bring wildlife back.

这种方法解决了德克萨斯州中部的气候问题，并利用地球的热容量来调节温度，而中央的直线庭院则允许新鲜空气在悬崖和下面的河流之间流动。庭院是一个观察候鸟，帝王蝴蝶，甚至蚁群…的剧场，在城市环境中提高人们对自然的认识。

This approach addresses the climate of central Texas and utilize thermal capacity of earth to regulate temperature,  while the linear courtyard down the center allows fresh air to flow between the  bluff and the river below. The courtyard is a theater for observing migrating humming birds,  monarch butterflies, even ant colonies...etc,  heightening one's awareness of nature in an urban setting.
