Hither Hills House by Bates Masi Architects is a seaside home that provides owners a weekend respite from the city by optimizing its ties to the land and nature. Located in a postwar planned beach community with small lots plotted irrespective of the steep topography, the property lacked a level ground plane suited to the usual flush relationship between a house and its yard.

BatesMasiArchitects提供的HitherHillsHouse是一个海滨住宅，通过优化其与土地和自然的联系，为业主提供了一个周末城市的服务。该地产位于战后规划的海滩社区，无论地形陡峭，都有小块标绘，缺少适合房屋与其院子之间通常平整关系的平面。

By nesting the house’s volumes into the hillside and stepping them into six distinct levels, the spaces contained within seamlessly connect to the landscape.

通过将房屋的体积嵌套在山坡上，并将它们分为六个不同的层次，其中包含的空间与景观无缝地连接在一起。

The bulk of the project’s resources are devoted to earthwork and site infrastructure to support this terraced configuration. A series of locally sourced bluestone retaining walls stitch through the site, stepping back with the natural grade and running parallel with the shoreline. These structural walls negotiate the soft, clayey soils and frame the interior and exterior living spaces.

该项目的大部分资源用于土方工程和场地基础设施，以支持这种梯田结构。一系列当地来源的青石挡土墙在工地上穿行，与自然等级同步，与海岸线平行运行。这些结构墙通过软土，黏土和框架内和外部的生活空间。

Traditional public and private floor assignments are inverted, lifting primary living spaces above the neighboring rooflines, and opening the retracting glass wall onto the ocean’s views, breezes, and sunlight. Farthest into the site at the top of the hill lies the swimming pool, set on the sole patch of naturally level ground on par with the house’s upper level. A parallel system of interior and exterior circulation sheltered by cantilevers and roof projections facilitates the “upside-down” configuration while promoting connections to the outdoors.

传统的公共和私人楼层任务是倒置的，将主要的居住空间提升到邻近的屋顶之上，并将收回的玻璃墙打开到海洋的视野、微风和阳光上。最远的地方在山顶的地方是游泳池，设置在唯一的一块自然水平的地面上，与房子的上层平起平坐。一个内部和外部循环的平行系统，由悬臂和屋顶凸起保护，方便了“倒转”的配置，同时促进了与户外的连接。

On closer inspection, a refined palette of materials is articulated to enhance the effects of nature and harmonize with the landscape. Outside, the bluestone walls’ joints run vertically, expressive of their insertion into the earth and supportive structural role.

更仔细的观察，一个精致的材料调色板被阐明，以加强自然的影响，并与景观和谐。在外面，青石墙的关节垂直运行，表现出它们插入地球和支持结构的作用。

In counterpoint, naturally-weathered horizontal mahogany decking spans between the stone walls and alternates as a covering for the roofs, walls, floors, and ceilings of the inhabited spaces. Inside, oak louvers on canvas hinges under an oversized skylight sway in the ocean breezes, casting dynamic patterns of light and providing cooling shade much like a tree’s canopy.

在对位，自然风化的水平桃花心木铺装跨越石墙和交替作为屋顶，墙壁，地板和天花板的有人居住的空间。在里面，帆布上的橡木百叶窗铰链在巨大的天窗下摇摆在海风中，投下动态的光模式，提供凉凉的阴影，就像一棵树的树冠。

An elongated variant of the same louvers forms a chandelier of sorts under lighting at the dining room table. Lightweight curtains lining openings to the outside activate similarly under the effects of natural light and air, rendering the intangible tangible.

同一百叶窗的细长变体在餐厅餐桌的灯光下形成了一种吊灯。在自然光和空气的影响下，轻薄的窗帘衬里向外面的开口同样激活，使无形的有形。

By integrating the house with its terrain and animating its details to enhance appreciation of the environment, this carefully positioned and developed design provides a vibrant sensory immersion in nature on a challenging site. For owners and visitors alike a stay in the Hither Hills House is both rejuvenating and enriching.

通过把房子和它的地形和动画的细节，以加强对环境的欣赏，这一精心定位和发展的设计提供了一个充满活力的感官沉浸在一个充满挑战的地点。对于业主和游客来说，入住Hither Hills House既能使人恢复活力，又能使人充实。
