The project completed by McFarlane Green Biggar Architects, Gambier Island House is a weekend retreat for a young family with two children from Vancouver. Situated on the eastern side of Gambier Island, British Columbia, the house is built on the brink, inaccessible, rocky and wooded, with views stretching towards the water and the massive mountain that dominates the skyline. In consonance with the beauty of the rough terrain, without affecting its wild nature, the design of the house is based on simple shapes and modest materials that barely touch the ground. Practically, two boxes placed one on top of another are sat on the rocky cliff and are dressed in wood, cement and glass tiles.

该项目由麦克法兰绿色Biggar建筑师，冈比亚岛大厦完成，是一个周末度假的一个年轻的家庭和两个孩子从温哥华。这座房子位于不列颠哥伦比亚省甘比尔岛的东侧，建在悬崖边上，交通不便，多岩石，树木茂密，可以俯瞰水面和俯瞰天际线的大山。与崎岖的地形的美丽相一致，在不影响其野生性质的情况下，房子的设计是基于简单的形状和朴素的材料，几乎没有接触到地面。实际上，两个盒子，一个放在另一个上面，坐在岩石悬崖上，穿着木头，水泥和玻璃瓷砖。

Three bedrooms and two bathrooms are complemented by a kitchen, dining room and living room that form an open area, with simple lines that through the glass walls frame spectacular views of the sea and mountains beyond waters. The large terraces on the upper level create a perfect bond with the surrounding nature and the stunning landscape. The structure of Gambier Island House is hybrid, being made mainly of wood with minimal contributions of reinforced concrete, the designer’s intend was to minimize the impact over the land and environment. The house benefits from independent sources of heat and power. Situated in a place where beauty and silence reign, Gambier Island House is all what a young couple who wish to escape the bustle of the city may want. What do you think?

三间卧室和两间浴室与厨房、餐厅和客厅相辅相成，构成了一个开阔的区域，通过玻璃墙形成简单的线条，可以俯瞰大海和水外的山脉。在上层的大型梯田创造了一个完美的纽带与周围的自然和令人叹为观止的景观。冈比亚岛大厦的结构是混合结构，主要由木材制成，钢筋混凝土的贡献最小，设计师的意图是尽量减少对土地和环境的影响。这所房子得益于独立的热能和电力来源。甘比尔岛大厦坐落在一个美丽而寂静的地方，这是一对想逃离城市喧嚣的年轻夫妇所想要的。你认为如何？
