Three siblings use this 2900sf home as a gathering point for their families. They asked that the design create a space that promotes and emphasizes connections 1) between the families, 2) to light and the surrounding landscape, and 3) to the river. Additionally, the River home needed to be built on a very tight budget– no simple feat for a site within the Guadalupe River Floodway. To achieve these demands, we focused design around standard materials, details, and components while emphasizing dramatic spatial configurations at connection points that would enhance shared moments between the families and the outdoors.

三个兄弟姐妹利用这2900个家庭作为他们家庭的聚集地。他们要求这个设计创造一个空间来促进和强调联系：1)家庭之间的联系，2)光线和周围的景观，3)与河流的联系。此外，河流家园需要建立在一个非常紧张的预算-没有一个简单的壮举内瓜达卢佩河道。为了满足这些需求，我们专注于标准材料、细节和组件的设计，同时强调在连接点的引人注目的空间配置，这将增强家庭和户外之间的共享时刻。

The River home is comprised of two generic rectangular forms rotated to weave around existing trees while maintaining river views.

河流家园是由两个通用的矩形形式旋转，以编织现有的树木，同时保持河流的看法。

The rotated geometries act upon one another, defining living space and carving out porches in a fashion that strengthens both the connection between the two volumes (guest bedrooms and main living spaces) and the relationship between indoor and outdoor spaces.

旋转的几何图形相互作用，定义了居住空间，并以一种方式开辟了门廊，从而加强了两卷书(客人卧室和主要居住空间)之间的联系以及室内和室外空间之间的关系。

Floor to ceiling sliding glass doors and exterior glazing over hardie panel serve as the connecting elements, wrapping the living space with transparency at the interior while reflecting nature at the exterior.

从地板到天花板的滑动玻璃门和外玻璃在哈迪面板上充当连接元素，在内部以透明的方式包裹生活空间，同时在外部反射自然。

Clerestory windows in the double height living space look onto a rooftop deck outside the “kids” loft at the floor above. Serving as the builder for the project, we took advantage of deals on materials where we could find them; all the interior wood finishes are off the shelf products from lumber suppliers, and we collaborated with small Texas shops for affordable windows and sliding glass doors.

双高居住空间中的牧师窗口可以看到楼上“孩子”阁楼外的屋顶甲板。作为这个项目的建设者，我们利用了我们可以找到这些材料的交易；所有的室内木制品都是木材供应商的现成产品，我们还与得克萨斯州的小商店合作购买价格低廉的窗户和滑动玻璃门。
