架构师提供的文本描述。这个住宅是一对夫妇和他们四个孩子的度假之家。位于科罗拉多州铜山的一处住宅开发项目，占地四分之一英亩，由一个单层的、后梁式的展馆组成，其中包含了主要的生活和娱乐空间，还有一个四层的传统框架塔，里面有服务空间和卧室。这些元素卷是为了创造两种截然不同的景观体验：一种隔离的、私人的室内和室外居住环境，以落叶松为掩护，依偎在树木茂密的场地中；一种广阔的、开阔的落基山景观体验，这是由该塔的景观所提供的。这一安排允许房主“呆在树林里”和“看山”-这是最初吸引他们到这个地方的两个地点的特点。

Text description provided by the architects. This residence is a vacation home for a couple and their four young children. Located on a quarter-acre site in a residential development in Copper Mountain, Colorado, the home is comprised of a single-story, post-and-beam pavilion containing the primary living and entertainment spaces, and a four-story, conventionally framed tower containing the service spaces and bedrooms. These elemental volumes are arranged to create two distinct landscape experiences: a sequestered, private environment of indoor and outdoor living spaces sheltered by lodge pole pines and nestled into the wooded site, and an expansive, open experience of Rocky Mountain vistas afforded by the belvedere quality of the tower. This arrangement allows the homeowners to “be in the woods” and “see the mountains” – the two site qualities which initially drew them to this location.

为了提高家庭的体验，开发了一个入口序列。从入口处开始，游客从东南方向靠近；穿过外面的浇铸混凝土墙；爬上与展馆平行的楼梯；进入有盖的“门廊”，然后进入家中。沿着这条路走的每一步都揭示出仔细区分的重要性。压缩体验-从完全暴露的山腰，到更受保护的林地，在一个明确的地台，并进入家庭的内部-也是渐进的。

An entry sequence was developed to heighten the experience of the home. Beginning at the entry drive, visitors approach from the southeast; pass through the outer, cast-in-place concrete wall; up a stair parallel to the pavilion; into a covered “porch”; and then into the home. Each step along this path reveals carefully differentiated materiality. The compression experience - from fully exposed mountainside, to the more protected woodland, onto a defined plinth, and into the home’s interior - is graduated as well.

东北入口的海拔高度是唯一紧靠发展的，在很大程度上仍然是坚固的，有着牧师的窗户和一堵保护性的浇铸混凝土墙。70号州际公路和接近冬季的风暴都位于该地区的西北部；车库和内部循环被用来缓冲房屋的这一面，使其免受这两种环境因素的影响。其余的展馆高地包括了树木茂密的环境和大的玻璃开口，这模糊了内部和外部的区别。

The northeast entry elevation, the only one with abutting development, remains largely solid with clerestory windows and a protective cast-in-place concrete wall. Both Interstate 70 and approaching winter storms lie northwest of the site; the garage and interior circulation are used to buffer this side of the home from both of these environmental factors. The remaining pavilion elevations embrace the wooded surroundings with large glazed openings which blur the distinction between inside and out.

延伸的屋顶悬垂创造了一个大型有盖的外部甲板，毗邻一个开放的露台，在等级和遮阳玻璃从夏季阳光。塔上的开窗仅限于一层多层的开放，为三间卧室的每一间提供多山的全景。塔顶是专为一个小办公室和屋顶甲板-奖励游客与非凡的景观。这个简单的组织有一个额外的实用优势，允许塔利用烟囱效应在夏季的几个月给家里降温。因此，家庭是辐射加热，但依赖简单的通风策略冷却。

The extended roof overhang creates a large covered exterior deck adjacent to an open patio at grade and shades the glass from summer sun. Fenestration on the tower is limited to a single multi-story opening offering the mountainous panorama to each of the three bedrooms. The top of the tower is reserved for a small office and roof deck – rewarding visitors with a remarkable view. This simple organization has the additional pragmatic advantage of allowing the tower to utilize the chimney effect to cool the home in summer months. As a result, the home is radiantly heated, but relies on simple ventilation strategies for cooling.
