这座房子被设想为一个木箱，具有战略性的开放，让自然光和对角线景观穿透规划，将内部与周围的景观连接起来，同时保留客户规定的隐私感。由此形成的琉璃庭院连接和分隔了室内的房间。除了这些庭院，木材外壳上的开口被保持在最小的垂直“狭缝”上，从内部显露出周围环境的一瞥；角落的窗户勾勒出附近山脉的景致；前门，建筑物的“皮”剥落，露出凹口。

The house was conceived as a wooden box, strategically carved open to allow natural light and diagonal views to penetrate the plan and connect the interior to the surrounding landscape, while retaining the sense of privacy stipulated by the clients. The resultant glazed courtyards both connect and separate the rooms within. Aside from these courtyards, openings in the timber shell are kept to a minimum - vertical ‘slits’ reveal glimpses of the surroundings from within; the corner window frames a view of the nearby mountain; and the front door, where the building’s ‘skin’ peels away to reveal the recessed entrance.

客户意见

Client’s Comments

我们要求一些私密和谦逊的东西，但这也是开放和充满阳光和利用全景的观点。我们想要一些聪明，但实用和节能的东西。这所房子是按预算来的，不仅漂亮，而且非常实用。例如，孩子们的游戏室，例如，在厨房旁边，可以在瞬间关闭。此外，因为我们可以从厨房看到整个网站，我们总是知道孩子们在任何时候的位置。我们有时觉得自己就像住在外面，但从公共道路上看，房子仍然很谨慎，很私密。

We asked for something private and unassuming, but that is also open and full of sunlight and takes advantage of the panoramic views. We wanted something clever, but practical and energy efficient. The house, which came in on budget, is not only beautiful, but also extremely practical. The kids’ playroom, for example, beside the kitchen, can be closed off in an instant. Also, because we can see the whole site from the kitchen, we always know where the kids are at any one time. We feel like we are living outside sometimes, yet from the public road the house remains discreet and private.

这个概念的一个很大的部分是用相对便宜的材料完成房子的高设计标准，并将所选择的材料的调色板保持在最小的…。

A big part of the concept was to complete the house to a high design standard using relatively cheap materials, and to keep the palette of the chosen materials to a minimum…
