架构师提供的文本描述。河岸大厦坐落在加拉丁河附近，就在蒙大拿州的大天空外。客户喜欢娱乐，所以这房子是为了营造一种开放和休闲的气氛，与户外有很强的联系。房子朝向河流的最佳景观，同时保持良好的太阳方向，以利用太阳能在冬季获得的热量，并避开炎热的夏季太阳。

Text description provided by the architects. The River Bank House sits along the Gallatin River just outside Big Sky, Montana. The clients love to entertain, so the house was set up to create an open and casual atmosphere with a strong connection to the outdoors. The house is oriented toward the best view of the river while maintaining good solar orientation for taking advantage of solar heat gain in the winter and keeping out the hot summer sun.

在夏季，客厅的大屋顶可以遮住大片的玻璃，而地热热泵和高水平的保温有助于保持冬天的温暖和节能。在如此极端的气候下，这座房子被专门设计成能够承受温度谱的两个极端。

The large roof over the living room serves to shade large areas of glass in the summer, while geothermal heat pumps and high levels of insulation help keep it warm and energy efficient in the winter. In such an extreme climate the house was specifically designed to withstand both extremes of the temperature spectrum.

这所房子分为主起居区和客栈。客人区的设计，使它可以关闭从房子的其余部分，当无人居住，并回到一个较低的温度，当不使用。此外，房子的两翼弯曲，以捕捉河流的最佳景观，并创建一个受保护的进入庭院。

The house is separated into the main living area and the guest wing. The guest area is designed so that it can be shut off from the rest of the house when unoccupied and set back to a lower temperature when not in use. Additionally, the two wings of the house bend in order to capture the best views of the river and create a protected entry courtyard.
