架构师提供的文本描述。这座2间卧室的住宅位于一片宽阔的牛场中间，位于一座小丘的边缘，从南向南缓缓升起，然后突然向北倾斜。起居空间都位于一层，下面是车库，部分掩埋，隐藏在视线之外。从南面经过一条长长的砾石车道，穿过田野通往有盖的人行道，通往主入口和中央大房间。三块巨大的玄武岩岩石迎接您进入，提供了一个在门厅和客厅之间的视觉休息。

Text description provided by the architects. The 2 bedroom home is situated in the middle of an expansive cow pasture on the edge of a knoll that rises gently from the south and drops abruptly to the north. The living spaces are all located on one level with the garage below, partially buried and hidden from view. The home is approached from the south via a long gravel driveway through the field to a covered walkway which leads to the main entry and the central great room. Three massive basalt rocks greet you upon entry, providing a visual break between foyer and living room.

从房子的角度看，从北面穿过邻近的田野，再到加拿大的太平洋沿岸山脉。房子的主体凸现出来，大面积的玻璃延伸到远处的风景。中央卷两侧是低矮的雪松包装箱与木材框架展馆书结束的构图。车库的屋顶提供了与厨房相邻的室外露台空间。在另一端，主卧室可以直接进入室外房间和壁炉。

The view from the house is to the north across neighboring fields to the Pacific coast range of Canada. The main body of the house flares out and up with large expanses of glass reaching for the scenery beyond. The central volume is flanked by low slung cedar clad boxes with timber frame pavilions book ending the composition. The roof of the garage provides and outdoor patio space adjacent to the kitchen. On the other end, the master bedroom has direct access to an outdoor room and fireplace.

虽然家庭的形式是现代的和抽象的，建筑类似于传统的谷仓饲养。大部分建筑工作由霍华德·霍尔兹和他的两个表兄弟约翰和吉姆负责。金属制品是由另一个表弟哈罗德完成的。Cowden Gravel的高中朋友DaveWiggins

While the home’s forms are modern and abstract, the construction was akin to a traditional barn raising. The bulk of the construction was handled by Howard Holz and his two cousins, John and Jim. The metal work was done by another cousin, Harold. High school friend Dave Wiggins of Cowden Gravel & Ready Mix poured the radiant concrete floors, garage basement walls and retaining walls.

另一位朋友，维京砖石公司的斯文·尼尔森(SvenNilsen)，为霍华德还建造了所有的橱柜和架子，一些家具，包括餐桌和椅子，以及一个木水槽和浴缸。最后但并非最不重要的是，朱迪，一个画家和织布，监督室内设计，色彩和完成，把它联系在一起。其结果是一个当代视野中的乡村景观。

Another friend, Svein Nilsen of Viking Masonry laid the stone. Howard also built all the cabinetry and shelving, a number of furniture pieces including the dining table and chairs as well a wood sink and bathtub. Last but not least, Judy, a painter and weaver, oversaw the interior design, colors and finishes that tie it all together. The result is a contemporary vision in the rural landscape.
