This project in the Champlain Valley of Vermont presented the challenge of making a modern house while faced with restrictive design covenants calling for replication of historic styles. Our goal was to achieve the enduring qualities of architecture, without imitation or quotation.

房子是一个简单的酒吧，面向东西轴，一端塞进森林湿地，另一端延伸到草地上。这所房子的私人空间位于西端，在树林里。公共空间坐落在草地上，可以看到北方的巴克山和南方的太阳。

The house is a simple bar oriented on the east-west axis, with one end tucked into wooded wetlands and the other reaching out into a meadow. The private spaces of the house are located at the west end, in the trees. The public spaces sit out in the meadow, with a long view to Buck Mountain in the north and solar gain from the south.

考虑到我们寒冷的佛蒙特州气候，以及在我们的农业景观中，节俭的、四四方方的建筑占主导地位，这座房子被认为是一个简单的体积，而不是屋顶和墙面的组合。可以说，它的“体积”是由紧绷的表面、边缘和角、外部皮肤的连续性、从体积中雕刻出来而不是加在其中的有盖的室内/室外空间、以及在外壳中被视为干净切口的釉面开口来强调的。

Given our cold Vermont climate, and the predominance of frugal, boxy buildings in our agrarian landscape, the house is conceived of as a simple volume rather than an assemblage of roof and wall planes. Its ‘volumeness’, so to speak, is emphasized by taut surfaces, edges, and corners; continuity of the outer skin; covered indoor/outdoor spaces that are carved out of the volume, rather than added to it; and glazed openings that are treated as clean incisions in the shell.

这座有盖的桥式房屋将一端的“避难所”与另一端的“前景”连接起来，同时让阳光透过中心，让人们看到巴克山的景色。

The covered bridge-like house links ‘refuge’ at one end with ‘prospect’ at the other, while letting the sun and view to Buck Mountain pass through the center.
