架构师提供的文本描述。位于纽约长岛外的一座屏障岛-火岛，这座海滨别墅是一家人在曼哈顿居住和工作的避暑胜地。这所房子被设计成两个不同的空间，为父母和他们的成年子女提供独立的住处，供他们生活和娱乐。这两卷书都是用雪松包起来的，连接着一座玻璃桥，用来遮住庭院和游泳池，这些庭院和水池能在最大的日光下获得西方的曝光。

Text description provided by the architects. Located on Fire Island, a barrier island off of Long Island, NY, this bayfront house is the summer retreat for a family who lives and works in Manhattan. The house is designed as two distinct volumes, to provide the parents and their adult children with separate quarters for living and entertaining. The volumes are clad in cedar and connected by a glass bridge, sheltering a courtyard and pool, which receive western exposure for maximum daylight.

这所房子的设计优先考虑意见和进入户外的机会。在较低的公共区域顶部堆叠的私人空间的典型配置被翻转；在这个住宅，公共上层享受最好的景观和进入室外甲板娱乐。

The design of the house prioritizes views and access to the outdoors. The typical configuration of private spaces stacked on top of a lower public zone is flipped; in this residence, the communal upper level enjoys the best views and access to outdoor decks for entertaining. 

厨房、餐厅和居住空间流向海湾，是观看夏日日落的理想场所。大面积的玻璃，以连续滑动门的形式打破了内部和外部的边界，并增加了通风，开放的房子。

Kitchen, dining, and living space flows out to the bay beyond, ideal for watching summer sunsets. Large expanses of glass, in the form of continuous sliding doors break down the boundary between interior and exterior, and add to the airy, openess of the house.

通过建筑过程和设计，这座房子包含了当地的岛屿传统。在小岛上禁止车辆行驶，所以这座房子和它的材料都是用驳船运到现场的。岛上的主要交通工具是马车和自行车。

The house embraces local island traditions, through both its construction process and its design. Cars are prohibited on the small island, so the house and its material were brought on barges to the site. The primary mode of transportation on the island is wagons and bikes. 

大型弯道入口坡道的设计适应了这种运输方式，允许货车被推到前门。还提供了大量的自行车停车位。天然的沙滩草和灌木丛的地面覆盖，保持了场地的低维护性和对当地植被的敏感性。雪松壁板呈银灰色，并使这一现代卷适应海滨白话。

The design of the large curving entry ramp accommodates for this mode of transportation, allowing wagons to be wheeled right up to the front door. Plenty of parking for bikes is also provided. Natural ground cover of beach grasses and brush keep the site low maintenance and sensitive to local vegetation. The cedar siding ages to a silvery grey, and adapts this modern volume to the beachfront vernacular.
