架构师提供的文本描述。在过去的20年里，我们的客户一直是高档定制住宅的承包商。这是他为自己建造的一系列房屋中的第七座，本质上是一项建筑和建筑方面的练习，探索建筑领域内预制的界限，以及定制家居市场中的审美期望。

Text description provided by the architects. Our client has been a contractor of high-end custom homes for the last 20 years. This, the 7th in a series of houses he has built for himself, is essentially an exercise in architecture and building that explores the boundaries of prefabrication within the realm of architecture and the aesthetic expectations within the custom home market.

与许多预制房屋不同，这座房子不是围绕着预制系统或产品设计的。相反，我们为他和他的儿子开发了一套房子，它功能大方，与土地的关系敏感，并且对它的材料保持着诚实的表达。将库存材料的使用和结构保温板(SIPS)结构的详细开发应用于设计中。由此产生的这座房子的丰富性源于风俗观念和预制观念之间的矛盾。

Unlike many prefabricated houses, this house was not designed around a prefabricated system or product. Instead, we developed a house for him and his son that is generous in its functions, sensitive in its relationship with the land and maintained an honest expression of its materials. The use of stock materials and an elaborated development of Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs) construction were applied to the design. The resulting richness of this house stems from the contradictions that exist between the ideas of custom and prefabrication.

这座房子建在一小块土地上，许多人认为这片土地是无法建造的，因为有一个偏东的池塘和一片西风潮湿的土地，这座房子坐落在附近最戏剧化、最自然的“院子”之一，对周围的场地几乎没有任何影响。房子是由一个组件组成的：玻璃，混凝土块，玻璃梁，小口和管道。

Built on a small parcel of land that many deemed un-build able because of an easterly pond and a westerly wet land, this house nestles into one of the most dramatic and natural “yards” in the neighborhood, having little-to-no impact on the surrounding site. The house is comprised of a kit of parts: glass, concrete block, Glulam beams, SIPs and pipe.

尽管最大限度地使用了玻璃，它可以流畅地将室内生活空间与外部环境连接起来，但将遮阳和隐私技术融入到家庭建筑中，可以让室内空间一整天自然地被照亮，而不需要照明、遮阳或维护式的隐私围栏。

Despite the maximum use of glazing, that fluidly connects the interior living spaces to the exterior environment, the shading and privacy techniques that are incorporated into the architecture of the home allow the interior spaces to be naturally lit throughout the day without the need for lighting, shades or maintenance-type privacy fencing.

当地制造的12块“x12”x24“黑色粉煤灰混凝土砌块(专门为本项目制造)暴露在外部和内部，一层抛光的混凝土地板，裸露的横梁和管道，房子里没有一个瓷砖或玻璃瓷砖；诚实和实用是显而易见的。然而，车库已经完工，就像房子里的另一个房间，有着同样的照明、固定装置和材料。

With locally manufactured 12”x12”x24” black fly-ash concrete block (made specifically for this project) left exposed on the exterior and interior, a polished concrete floor, exposed beams and conduit, and not one ceramic or glass tile in the house; the honesty and practicality is evident. Yet, the garage is finished as if it is another room in the house, with the same lighting, fixtures and materials.

房子的结构体系保持了表达的诚实。预制和预钻孔的Glulam梁位于混凝土块上，支撑着位于主起居空间上方的大箱子(卧室)。

The structural system of the house maintains the honesty of expression. Prefabricated and predrilled Glulam beams sit on the concrete block and support the large boxes (bedrooms) that sit above the main living space.

这两个盒子(以及所有的非砖墙和屋顶)都是完全由工厂用石膏制成的。对于屋顶和墙壁系统的使用，绝缘值增加了33%，比现行法规要求高出33%，这使得这所房子现在和未来几年都要负责。

These two boxes (as well as all non-masonry walls and roofs) are constructed entirely of SIPs with a factory-applied gypsum finish. The use of SIPs for the  roof and wall systems have an increased insulation value of 33% above current code requirements making this house responsible today and for years to come.

所有用于电气和机械管道的镀锌和塑料管都是未经加工的，像静脉一样暴露在整个房子里。一座独立的建筑/塔楼，为机械系统提供了前所未有的突出地位。

All galvanized and plastic pipes for the electrical and mechanical conduit are left raw and exposed like veins throughout the house. A separate building/tower housing the mechanical systems is given an unprecedented prominence.

为我们的客户开始的另一个房屋项目，导致了一个具有意想不到的价值的建筑。从这座房子搬到第8号项目的想法已经不像以前那么容易了。

What started as another house-project for our client, resulted in a building that holds unexpected value. The thought of moving on from this house to tackle project #8 is not as easy as it once was.
