架构师提供的文本描述。门廊屋具有独特的适应性设计和建造过程，使其居民能够与环境成为伙伴，在由气候和地点塑造的房子中，景观和房间是一个统一的整体。

Text description provided by the architects. Porch House, with a uniquely adaptable design and construction process, enables its inhabitants to be a partner with the environment, in a house shaped by the climate and place, where the landscape and rooms are a unified whole. 

和我们公司的许多著名设计一样，门廊屋是从简单的乡土建筑中诞生的，它充分利用了莱克·弗拉托多年来在良好的设计、质量、可持续性和实用性方面所学到的知识。

Like many of our firm's celebrated designs, the Porch House is born from the simplicity of vernacular architecture and leverages what Lake|Flato has learned over the years in terms of good design, quality, sustainability, and practicality.

工厂建造的房间被安排在现场，以充分利用景观，微风，太阳能方向，和户外空间。自定义设计的站点建立了“门廊元素”，如风道、门廊、悬垂和汽车，是将房间连接在一起的“连接组织”，同时使总体设计能够适应站点、天气和客户程序的独特特性。

The factory built rooms are arranged on the site to take advantage of views, breeze, solar orientation, and outdoor spaces. The custom designed site built "porch elements", such as breezeways, porches, overhangs, and carports are the "connecting tissue" which holds the rooms together while allowing the overall design to adapt to the unique characteristics of the site, the weather and the client's program.

预计从设计批准到迁入的时间是6-9个月。一个门廊房子使用的能源远远少于一个典型的房子，可以设计为“净零能源消耗”加上光伏电池板。目前对硬建筑成本的预测约为每平方英尺150至225美元。

Expected time from design approval to move in is 6-9 months. A Porch House uses considerably less energy than a typical house and can be designed for "net zero energy consumption" with the addition of photovoltaic panels. Current projections for hard building cost range around $150-225 per square foot.
