架构师提供的文本描述。俯瞰一个广阔的山谷，远望加拿大农村，这所房子沿着狭窄的山脊延伸，四周环绕着常青树和硬木森林。这个静修所被认为是一个全年娱乐和安静独处的地方。

Text description provided by the architects. Overlooking a broad valley with distant views of rural Canada, this house stretches along the crest of a narrow ridge surrounded by evergreen and hardwood forest. The retreat was conceived as a place for year round recreation as well as quiet solitude.

在穿过一片茂密的常青树树林进入现场后，驱动器转过身来，第一次看到的是房子的一瞥-一个长长的、直线状的切割石核心在一个斜坡屋顶下滑动，并透过一个精致的玻璃体积。石芯由两个大的壁炉团点缀，组织空间，沿着石头的南面流动。石芯的缝隙提供了进入每个生活空间的通道，而核心本身则容纳浴室、壁橱和其他支撑空间。固定在南面的石质，居住空间向北延伸到一个木头甲板上，俯瞰陡峭的斜坡，高高的玻璃墙模糊了内外之间的边界。

After entering the site through a thick grove of evergreens, the drive turns to reveal the first glimpse of the home— a long, linear core of cut stone sliding under a single slope roof and through a delicate glass volume. The stone core, punctuated by two large fireplace masses, organizes the spaces, with primary circulation along the south face of the stone. Gaps in the stone core provide access to each of the living spaces, while the core itself houses bathrooms, closets and other support spaces. Anchored to the south by the stone mass, the living spaces extend north onto a wood deck overlooking the steep slope with tall walls of glass blurring the boundary between inside and out.

主套房向北和西开放，透过森林可以看到一个隐蔽的石火广场，供晚上聚会。三排严格细致的钢结构为道格拉斯冷杉和单坡金属屋顶提供了框架。南面的长屋顶在夏季提供遮阳，而低的冬季阳光则温暖石坝。起居空间上方的屋顶向上和向外突出，提高了人们对北方阳光景观的认识。灯监视器被夹在两个烟囱的表面，用自然光清洗壁炉。额外的独立站立屋顶监测器为石芯内的空间提供照明。透明和半透明的玻璃包围了南墙，提供了沿循环脊柱的光线和空间的发挥。

The master suite opens to the north and west, providing views through the forest to a secluded stone fire square for evening gathering. Three rows of rigorously detailed steel structure provide the framework for the Douglas fir rafters and single slope metal roof. The long south roof overhang provides shading in the summer, while the low winter sun warms the stone bar. The roof over the living spaces projects upwards and outwards, heightening one’s awareness of the sunlit view to the north. Light monitors are clipped to the face of both chimneys, washing the fireplaces with natural light. Additional free standing roof monitors provide light to spaces within a stone core. Both clear and translucent glass enclose the south wall, providing a play of light and space experienced along the circulation spine.

在自然景观中仔细定位，这房子是大胆的，但微妙的。它既是一个撤退的地方，也是一个聚会的地方。

Carefully positioned in the natural landscape, this house is bold yet delicate. It is both a retreat and a gathering place.
