In the city of Kaunas, in the heart of Lithuania, sits the lovely and unique looking Lampedis quarry. Now, the shores of a quarry might not sound like the usual location for a sprawling family home, but that’s precisely where the firm forward-thinking firm Architectural Bureau G.Natkevicius * Partners chose to build the beautiful Family House.

在立陶宛中心的考纳斯市，坐落着美丽而独特的兰佩迪斯采石场。现在，采石场的海岸听起来可能不像一个庞大的家庭住宅的通常位置，但那正是公司前瞻性的建筑事务所G.Natkevicius*Partners选择建造美丽的家庭住宅的地方。

This stunning three-bedroom house sits on a plot that was hand picked by the clients with the specific intention of face the water and enjoying the unique shoreline that the quarry offers. Because the shore was such a focus in their minds, designers chose to make it a primary focus in the house’s structure and orientation as well.

这座令人叹为观止的三卧室住宅坐落在一个由客户精心挑选的地块上，其具体意图是面对水，享受采石场提供的独特海岸线。因为海岸是他们心目中的一个焦点，设计师们选择把它作为房子结构和方向的主要关注点。

To start out, designers based their structural choices on the principle of “screen architecture”. On the backside of the house, you’ll find walls built almost entirely from glass, allowing a stunning view of the water to be absorbed from quite literally any room in the house. Rather than over complicating things, teams chose to keep the rest of the house around these views quite simple, so as not to detract from the landscape’s natural beauty.

为了开始，设计师们根据“屏幕结构”的原理选择了自己的结构选择。在房子的背面，你会发现墙壁几乎完全是由玻璃建造的，能让人惊叹地看到房子里的任何房间里的水。而不是过于复杂的事情，团队选择让其余的房子保持在这些观点的周围相当简单，以免影响景观的自然美。

To reach these design goals, designers chose to build a simple but graceful facade that features depth impression and lots of detail. The lines of the house are steadfast but neat and pleasing. The recessed windows and other areas make a regular shape look like an interesting object peeking out of the horizon. Architects played with angles too, building certain areas and cornices that were inspired by the shape of a horse’s blinders. This directs all attention to the glass, which once again puts the house’s view in central focus.

为了达到这些设计目标，设计师们选择了一个简单而优雅的外观，它的特点是深刻的印象和很多的细节。房子的线条是坚定的，但整洁，令人愉快。凹陷的窗户和其他区域使一个规则的形状看起来像一个有趣的物体从地平线上窥视。建筑师也玩角度游戏，建造特定的区域和由马的眼睛形状启发的飞檐。这将所有的注意力引向玻璃，它再次将房子的视图置于中心焦点。

The angled cornices you see in these photos serve a practical purpose as well! Their extending edges are stylish but they also separate visible living spaces inside the home from the view line of neighbouring plots and other homes. Additionally, they extended sections protect the glass (which is hardy, but a little extra safety never hurts) from excess sunlight, inclement weather, and so on. They even give the first floors terrace a bit of extra shade on hot days!

你在这些照片中看到的有角的飞檐也有实际用途！他们的延伸边缘是时尚的，但他们也分开了可见的居住空间，在住宅内与视线附近的地块和其他住宅。此外，他们延长部分保护玻璃(这是硬的，但一点额外的安全永远不会伤害)，免受过多的阳光，恶劣的天气，等等。在炎热的日子里，他们甚至给一楼的露台提供了一点额外的阴凉处！

Although it’s all connected, the building looks as though it’s separated into different volumes. Each of these has a neat, clean, structured aesthetic that’s quite visually satisfying. Overall, there are three segments that make up the full house. These are the main rectangle on the first floor and two slightly smaller rectangles sitting on the second floor. You might notice two protruding sections that look like rooms extending from the house; these are the master bedroom on the front side, which is visually balanced by the library at the back.

虽然它都是相连的，但建筑看起来好像它被分成了不同的卷。其中的每一个都有一个整洁的、干净的、有结构的美学，这在视觉上是令人满意的。总的来说，有三个部分组成了整个房子。这些是第一地板上的主矩形和坐在第二地板上的两个稍小的矩形。你可能会注意到两个突出的部分看起来像从房子里延伸出来的房间；这是正面的主卧室，后面的图书馆在视觉上是平衡的。

As you’ll notice, the whole exterior of the house is covered in copper tin. This catches the sun and, in partnership with the shining glass, makes the house appear bright and nearly glowing. This brightness is continued inside, where social and private rooms alike are kept cheerfully bright by the large windows. These windows are situated such that a nearly panoramic view of the water is established, but at the same time the surrounding buildings are excluded from the picture, making it feel like the house and the water are the only things around for miles.

正如你会注意到的，整个房子的外部都是铜锡。这捕捉到阳光，并与闪光的玻璃，使房子看起来明亮和几乎发亮。这种亮度继续在室内，在那里的社交和私人房间一样，保持愉快地明亮的大窗户。这些窗户的位置几乎可以看到水的全景，但同时周围的建筑物被排除在外，让人觉得房子和水是周围数英里内唯一的东西。

Besides being stunning, the structure of the house was also chosen to cater to unique functional needs based on the client’s unique lifestyle. These owners breed dogs as an occupation, so having lots of fluid space was quite necessary. Designers achieved this by including a whole block on the first floor specifically intended for keeping dogs where they can live comfortably. Visitors will notice that this particular volume sits higher than the others, keeping it from feeling crowded and giving it extra natural light.

除了令人叹为观止，房子的结构也是根据客户独特的生活方式选择的，以满足独特的功能需求。这些主人把养狗作为一种职业，所以有大量的液体空间是非常必要的。设计师做到这一点，包括了整个街区在一楼，特别是为了让狗在那里，他们可以舒适地生活。游客会注意到，这个特定的音量比其他的高，使它不感到拥挤，并给予它额外的自然光。

Overall, the house provides a wonderful sense of blending between humans, animals, nature, and architecture.

总之，房子在人类、动物、自然和建筑之间提供了一种奇妙的混合感觉。
