架构师提供的文本描述。该项目位于低洼湿地上，由于地下水位高，需要考虑。解决这一问题的办法是将房屋提升到比现有等级高出三英尺的高度，并在坡度上使用隔热板，以避免在爬行空间内促进霉菌生长的可能性。我们所使用的建筑水特性增强了工程，同时也提供了积极的排水。

Text description provided by the architects. The project was sited on a low lying wetland that demanded consideration due to a high water table. The solution to this problem was to elevate the house three feet above existing grade and to utilize an insulated slab on grade to avoid the probability of fostering mold growth in a crawl space. The Architectural water features we used to enhance the project while at the same time provided positive drainage.

此外，客户希望避免移除该地点的任何成熟树木，并仍能捕捉到向北的山脉。仔细安排使这两个目标得以实现。低能耗是一个目标，这是实现了利用开环地源热泵加热和冷却。室内温度使用R-40和R-65墙和屋顶组件保持。

Additionally, the client wanted to avoid remove any of the mature trees on the site and still capture the view to the mountain range to the north. Careful siting allowed both objectives to be attained. Low energy consumption was a goal and this was attained utilizing an open loop ground source heat pump for both heating and cooling. Indoor temperatures are conserved utilizing R-40 and R-65 wall and roof assemblies.

碳足迹问题是通过使用外部壁板100%再生材料来解决的，并以其他方式指定不需要维护的材料，即：COR-10屋顶和筋膜细节。新的木材被使用得到水溶性的“终身”完成，慢慢风化到一个保护性的底漆随着时间的推移。柚木的木窗扇进一步减少了外部维护问题。

Carbon footprint issues were addressed by utilizing 100% reclaimed material for the exterior siding and otherwise specifying materials that required no maintenance ie: cor-ten roofing and fascia detailing. New wood that was used received a water soluble "lifetime" finish that slowly weathered to a protective base coat over time. Wood sash windows of teak further reduced the exterior maintenance issues.

由于其VOC含量较低，选择了室内油剂，所有的案例工作都是在有机植物油材料中完成的。可再生竹子在整个房子和天花板材料中被使用。通过在所有公共场所指定LED技术和其他地方的高输出卤素灯，减少了电力消耗。

Interior finishes were selected for their low VOC content as well, with all casework being finished in an organic vegetable based oil material. Renewable bamboo is utilized throughout the house as well as a ceiling material. Electrical consumption was reduced by specifying LED technology in all of the public spaces and high output halogen light elsewhere.
