架构师提供的文本描述。这座卡德角海滩别墅被设计成一套住宅，既可以为两位客户提供周末度假之用，也可以为他们和他们的大家庭提供度假屋。ZeroEnergy设计公司的任务是创建一项既能容纳这一范围内的入住率，又具有极高能效的方案。

Text description provided by the architects. This Cape Cad beach house was conceived as a residence that could serve as both a weekend getaway for the two clients or a vacation house for them and their extended families. ZeroEnergy Design was tasked with creating a scheme that could accomodate this range in occupancy while also being extremely energy efficient.

结构的聚集直接响应于两个设计约束。这所房子分为两大部分。“生活酒吧”包括厨房、客厅、餐厅和两间卧室。当客户的整个家庭居住在房子里度假或度假时，使用的是“睡吧”，里面有更多的卧室和客厅。为了节省能源，当不使用时，睡眠棒可以退役，有效地将房屋的大小和总能耗减半。

The massing of the structure responds directly to both design constraints. The house is divided into two main volumes. The "living bar" includes the kitchen, living and dining areas and two bedrooms. When the client's whole family inhabits the house for vacations or holidays, the "sleeping bar" containing more bedrooms and living areas is used. To conserve energy when not in use the sleeping bar can be decommissioned, effectively halving the size of the house and its total energy use.

除了集成了几个被动设计原则的智能聚集外，Truro住宅还采用光伏电池进行能源生产，地热加热和冷却系统将为该结构带来更大的环境效率。

In addition to the smart massing that incorporates several passive design principles, the Truro Residence incorporates photovoltaic cells for energy production, and a geothermal heating and cooling system be bring greater environmental efficiency to the structure.

这幢大楼的机壳是干净的。选择空间内的材料既是因为它们在恶劣的海洋环境中的耐久性，也是因为它们具有可持续的特性。抛光混凝土，青石和竹木地板与雪松衬垫，锌屋顶和ipe装饰。特鲁罗住宅的设计，以满足特定客户的需要，是可持续发展满足实际情况的一个很好的例子。

A clean interior accompanies the building's smart shell. The materials within the space were selected both for their durability in the harsh ocean environment as well as their sustainable properties. Polished concrete, bluestone, and bamboo flooring are paired with cedar siding a zinc roof and ipe decking. The design of the Truro residence in response to specific client needs is a good example of sustainability meeting practicality.
