架构师提供的文本描述。玛莎葡萄园别墅是从陆地向强烈的水平基准面和广阔的海洋开放空间过渡的框架。这所房子坐落在树林中一片空地南边的一座小山上，可以看到广阔的水面。三个街区包含不同的国内计划，以确定一系列的外部空间，包括一个受保护的入口法院，部分封闭在相邻的树木斜坡。

Text description provided by the architects. Martha’s Vineyard House frames the transition from land to the strong horizontal datum and vast open space of the ocean. The house is situated against a gentle hill at the southern edge of a clearing in the woods, which offers an expansive view of the water. Three blocks containing different domestic programs are arranged to define a series of exterior spaces, including a protected entry court partially enclosed by the adjacent wooded slope.

两个垂直的L形墙壁覆盖在雪松壁板上，定义了南北两块。他们的水平性，深度和纹理突出了房子与现场的联系。这些墙壁的细节，使用两种不同的宽度和深度的特殊磨木板，回声周围的灌木树阴影。激光切割机是研究这些墙壁设计中光、影、图案和纹理现象的关键工具。在比例和方向的对比，站立缝锌壁板和木材窗户构成平衡的房子的围护。

Two perpendicular, L-shaped walls clad in cedar siding define the north and south blocks. Their horizontality, depth and texture accentuate the connection of the house to the site. The detailing of these walls, using two different widths and depths of specially-milled wood boards, echoes the shadows cast by the surrounding scrub oak trees. A laser cutter was a critical tool employed to explore phenomena of light, shadow, pattern and texture in the design of these walls. Contrasting in scale and orientation, standing seam zinc siding and wood windows comprise the balance of the house’s enclosure.
