Description by architect: The inspiration for the exterior of this 1500 SF lakefront house was an abandoned mine building in Telluride, Colorado. The 100 year old reclaimed wood barn boards blend with rust-painted siding and iconic roof forms to capture the essence of a utilitarian vernacular structure.

建筑师的描述：这座1500 SF湖畔房屋的外部灵感来自科罗拉多州Telluride一座废弃的矿井建筑。这座有着百年历史的木质谷仓板与锈蚀的墙板和标志性屋顶混合在一起，捕捉到了一种实用的乡土建筑的本质。

Our challenge was to create a comfortable 2 bedroom 2 bath home on a 60’ x 75’ lot. Limitations of local codes, proximity to water’s edge and environmental guidelines restricted us to building within a 25’ x 25’ footprint.

我们的挑战是创造一个舒适的2卧室2浴室住宅在60‘x75’地段。地方法规的局限性、接近水的边缘和环境准则限制了我们在25‘x25’脚印内建造。

Utilizing the sloping site we created a lower level open living area and kitchen that walk directly out to the lake, connected by an illuminated custom steel spiral stair to a mid-level pair of bedrooms and bathroom, and a top floor family room and sun deck. To provide privacy in a house whose front face is merely 25 feet from the roadway, we limited windows and exposure on the road side and opened the living spaces to the lake.

利用倾斜的场地，我们创建了一个较低层的开放式起居室和厨房，直接走到湖边，连接着一个照亮的定制钢螺旋楼梯，连接到中等水平的一对卧室和浴室，以及顶层的家庭房间和太阳甲板。为了在离马路25英尺远的房子里提供隐私，我们限制了窗户和路旁的曝光率，打开了湖边的起居空间。

This lakefront house is designed to be zero-net energy and is pending LEED Platinum status. The selection of recycled and low-impact building materials, high efficiency mechanical systems, rigorous waste management and double wall construction are critical components to this approach. A geothermal well, PV solar panels with battery back-up, low flow plumbing fixtures, high performance glazing and a restriction from using fossil fuels meet the baseline criteria for designing such a low carbon-footprint structure.

这湖畔的房子是设计为零净能源，并正在等待LEED白金地位。回收和低冲击建筑材料的选择、高效的机械系统、严格的废物管理和双壁施工是这一方法的关键组成部分。地热井，光伏太阳能电池板，电池后备，低流量管道固定装置，高性能玻璃和限制使用化石燃料，符合设计这样一个低碳足迹结构的基准标准。

The drought-tolerant non-invasive native plant landscaping will fill in and provide natural habitats for wildlife as well as minimizing watering needs and controlling ground water runoff. Permeable pavers on the driveway serve as a growing medium for a thyme ground cover and a low-albedo stone patio limits the heat island effect while reducing the maintenance requirements.

耐旱、无入侵的本地植物景观将填补和提供野生动物的自然栖息地，并尽量减少浇水需求和控制地下水径流。车道上的透水铺路作为百里香地面覆盖层和低反照率石质露台的生长介质，限制了热岛效应，同时减少了维护要求。
