架构师提供的文本描述。这套自定义住宅位于西雅图西部一个老牌社区的3，450平方米的城市填充区。房子是面向东西的，以利用其南方的暴露，并减少暖气和冷却负荷。一个紧凑的堆叠平面图，包括1，523平方英尺，被设计成三个主要区域-居住、工作和睡觉。拱形天花板起居区位于楼上，旨在鼓励人们欣赏城市和梯级景观，并提供高效的自然通风系统。

Text description provided by the architects. This custom residence is situated on a 3,450 sqf urban infill lot in an established neighborhood in West Seattle. The house was oriented east and west to take advantage of its southern exposure and reduce heating and cooling loads. A compact stacked floor plan containing 1,523 square feet was developed and organized into 3 major zones—living, working and sleeping. The vaulted ceiling living zone, located on the upper floor is situated to encourage views of the city and Cascades, as well as provide an efficient natural ventilation system.

中央位置的楼梯为工作和睡眠区提供了照明，并提供了从2车库和公用设施区便捷的通道。可持续的特点包括一个7千瓦光伏系统与净计量，地板内的水热，耐用的金属屋顶和金属和木材外部覆层应用于雨幕系统。一个绿色的屋顶种植了耐旱的地面覆盖物，减轻了水的径流，并使房屋绝缘。低VOC饰面和无甲醛材料创造了一个健康和对环境负责的室内环境.

A centrally located stairway brings light to the working and sleeping zones as well as providing convenient access from the 2-car garage and utility area. Sustainable features include a 7kw photovoltaic system with net metering, in-floor hydronic heat, durable metal roof and metal and wood exterior cladding applied as a rain screen system. A green roof planted with drought-resistant ground cover mitigates water runoff and insulates the house. Low-VOC finishes and formaldehyde-free materials create a healthy and environmentally responsible interior environment.
