这个项目是对一个客户的愿望的回应，他想在一处现有的共享房产上建造一座小型周末别墅，南面的景色可以俯瞰伯克希尔山(BerkshireHills)。1200平方米英国“金融时报”。日本客人的周末别墅包括书房、客厅、主卧室套房和一个大的浸水浴缸。房子的紧凑和内部稀疏，类似于传统的日本建筑，作为一个和平的撤退，从繁忙的城市生活。

This project is a response to a client’s desire to build a small weekend house on an existing shared property with southern views overlooking the Berkshire Hills. The 1,200 sq. ft. weekend house for a Japanese client consists of a study, living dining area, master bedroom suite and a large soaking bathtub. The house has the compactness and interior sparseness akin to traditional Japanese architecture and serves as a peaceful retreat from busy city life.

本着日本和服的精神，这座房子被设想成一个整体的、体积庞大的“床单”外壳，将其包裹起来并折叠起来，形成和定义两个主要的室内空间，并将房子与景观联系起来。主要的室内空间用于生活、就餐和烹饪。一种加长的封闭门廊，类似于日本传统建筑中的“中间空间”(Engawa)，从主空间延伸至主要景观框架，并在内部和外部之间形成一种过渡。次级空间用作主卧室套房。这所房子在建筑和维修方面都是相对便宜的。尽可能多的遗址被保留不动，并恢复自然野生花卉的生长，这些野生花卉在夏季主导着周围的景观。

In the spirit of a Japanese kimono, the house is conceived as a single sweeping volumetric “sheet” enclosure that wraps and folds into itself to form and define two major interior spaces, and tie the house with the landscape. The primary interior space is used for living, dining and cooking. An extended closed-in porch like aperture, analogous to an engawa or “in-between space” found in traditional Japanese architecture, extends off the main space to frame the primary view and create a transition between inside and outside. The secondary space serves as a master bedroom suite. The house is designed to be relatively inexpensive both in construction and maintenance. As much of the site as possible has been left untouched and restored for the growth of natural wild flowers, which dominate the surrounding landscape in the summer.
