A series of family cabins hidden in the forest and overlooking Washington's Hood Canal, the Hood Cliff Retreat is located on a 1.13 acre site atop a bluff on a wooded site on the western shore of Hood Canal in the Pacific Northwest. “As avid bird watchers and naturalists, the clients wanted an indoor outdoor family retreat that would immerse them in the stillness of the forest and capture the delicate Washington sunlight and views toward Hood Canal and the Olympic Mountains to the west,” says architect Matt Wittman.

在森林里隐藏着一系列的家庭小屋，俯瞰着华盛顿的引擎盖运河，在西北太平洋的软篷运河西岸的一个林地上，一个1.13英亩的站点上的胡德悬崖撤退。“作为AvidBird观察者和自然主义者，客户想要一个室内户外家庭务虚会，让他们沉浸在森林的宁静中，捕捉微妙的华盛顿阳光和朝向软篷运河和奥林匹克山向西方的景色，”说，建筑师马特·维特曼(MattWittman)说。

Built on the site in 1962, the original dark and opaque cedar cabin left the owners feeling cut off from nature, and they asked for a indoor outdoor retreat that would allow them to be closer to the land and also house an expanded program of three additional bedrooms and sleeping quarters for their extended family. The project has three elements: 1) The repurposed 20’x20’ footprint of the original cabin, 2) the cabin addition, and 3) a new bunkhouse and bathroom to the north. 

1962年在现场建造的，原来的黑暗和不透明的雪松小屋离开了主人的感觉，让他们远离大自然，他们要求提供一个室内户外务虚会，让他们更靠近陆地，还为他们的大家庭提供三个额外的卧室和卧室的扩展计划。该项目有三个要素：1)原舱室的用途为20"x20"的占地面积，2)机舱增加，以及3)新的Bunkhouse和卫生间到北方。

The clients include owner, Pat Troth, who had a career in hydrology and forestry and had a deep love for trees, soils, and the richness of the natural world. Her husband, John Troth, is a wildlife photographer who travels internationally to capture images of birds and other animals in their native habitats. Their grown children work as natural resource scientists and spend much of their time deeply engaged with the outdoors. With John and Pat living in Indiana, their son John in Toronto, and Ashley in North Carolina, the family yearned for a place to draw them together in one place. The vision was a retreat where the family could be together and celebrate their passion for being outdoors and connect with the native flora and fauna of Hood Canal.

他们的客户包括业主、高级职员，他们从事林业和林业，热爱树木、土壤和丰富的自然世界。她的丈夫，约翰，是一位野生动物摄影师，他在国际上旅行，拍摄鸟类和其他动物在他们的本土栖息地的照片。他们的成年子女是自然资源科学家，他们的大部分时间都投入到户外活动中。约翰住在印第安纳州，他们的儿子约翰住在多伦多，阿什利住在北卡罗莱纳州。他们的愿景是一次静修，一家人可以聚在一起，庆祝他们对户外生活的热情，并与运河当地的动植物建立联系。

The clients wanted a retreat where they could watch birds and take in the nature of the Hood Canal. While they loved modern architecture, they did not want a building that was overly expressive of itself. They asked for a set of simple structures that would allow them to be close to the land. This resonated with Wittman, who had an appreciation for the simple vernacular structures of his rural childhood on a ranch in northern Idaho, and designs buidings allowing people to “experience the beauty of nature through architecture.” The Troth family sought a place where their friends and family could gather together while also experiencing a moment of solitude and reflection. The three single story volumes with large glass openings, sliding doors, and continuous decks allow for such gathering and reflection.

客户想要一个撤退，在那里他们可以观看鸟类，并考虑到引擎盖运河的性质。虽然他们喜欢现代建筑，但他们并不想要一个过分表达自己的建筑。他们要求一套简单的结构，允许他们靠近陆地。这与维特曼（Wittman）共鸣，他对他在爱达荷州北部的一个牧场上的乡村儿童的简单话文结构表示赞赏，并设计了允许人们通过建筑体验大自然的美丽的布展。“Troth家庭寻求一个地方，他们的朋友和家人可以一起聚聚在一起，同时也感受到孤独和思考的时刻。”具有大玻璃开口、滑动门和连续甲板的三个单层容积允许这样的聚集和反射。

The architecture defers to the landscape – inspired by nature and in particular the native killdeer bird. “Unlike most birds, the killdeer doesn’t bring outside vegetation to build its nest - it pulls away the existing brush, burrowing into the existing forest, and nesting on the ground,” says Wittman. Hood Cliff Retreat seeks a similar relationship with the ground that feels both connected to and protected from the elements of nature.

这种建筑在自然的启发下，特别是本地的Kill鹿Bird受到了景观的影响。“与大多数鸟类不同的是，Kill鹿并没有带外部植被来建造它的巢-它拉开了现有的刷子，挖掘到现有的森林里，并在地上筑巢，”说，Witman。胡德克里夫撤退寻求与地面类似的关系，感觉既连接又受自然因素的保护。

Reclaimed beams and siding from the original cabin were re-purposed as countertops and interior cladding. Simple details and a restrained material palette kept the construction budget to a minimum.

原舱室的主梁和壁板被重新划分为内部熔覆和内部熔覆.简单的细节和约束材料使建筑预算降到最低。

“We sought to dissolve the barriers between the inside and out, between forest, garden, and structure,” says Wittman. Sunlight warms the plywood walls and ceilings, grazing the warm cedar boards and cast-in-place concrete – allowing shadow and light to transform the simple interior into something more complex and subtle. In the main cabin, the indoor outdoor kitchen has a pass-through window that extends the interior countertop into the outdoor concrete counter and built in wood barbeque. There is a built-in Murphy bed that allows the main cabin to be a flexible sleeping area when needed. High clerestory windows allow views outdoors and natural light inside.

“我们试图消除森林、花园和结构之间内外的障碍，”说维特曼。阳光温暖胶合板墙壁和天花板，在温暖的雪松木板和现浇混凝土上放牧--允许阴影和光线将简单的内部变成更复杂和微妙的东西。在主舱中，室内室外厨房具有贯通窗，其将内部工作台面延伸到室外混凝土柜台中，并在木质烤肉架中建造。有一个内置的墨菲床使主舱在需要时可以是一个灵活的睡眠区。较高的天窗允许在室外和自然光的内部查看视图。

A reclaimed cast iron tub in the master bath creates the feeling of soaking in the outdoors without interrupting moments of repose. Outside, the rough sawn cedar siding and cement panel finishes patina naturally over time until the cabin volumes converge with the colors of the forest. This inside- outside connection is how the architects approach building sensitively in nature.

主浴池中的铸铁浴缸创造了一种在户外浸泡的感觉，而没有任何不愉快的瞬间。外面，粗糙的平易近的墙板和水泥板随着时间的推移自然地完成，直到木屋体积与森林的颜色相一致。这种内外联系是建筑师在本质上如何看待建筑的。

The three dwelling structures are a continuous interconnected series of experiences composed to celebrate the beauty of family gathering in natural sunlight and fresh air. The retreat is an expression of Wittman Estes’ “tactile modernism,” connecting the family to the sensation and physical experiences of the Puget sound ecosystem in a place that is beautiful, functional, and built for the sustainable long term enjoyment of the nature loving Troth family.

这三个住宅结构是一个连续的相互关联的一系列经验组成的庆祝美丽的家庭聚集在自然阳光和新鲜空气。静修是对“准”的一种表达，将家庭与美好、实用、可持续的热爱自然的家庭长期享受的健全生态系统的感觉和身体体验联系在一起。
