Solitude Creek House is a single-family house designed by Washington based architectural company Robert M. Gurney.

独处溪屋是由华盛顿建筑公司RobertM.Gurney设计的单一家庭住宅。

Description by Robert Gurney Architect: The design of this house in St. Michaels, Maryland was greatly influenced by environmental regulations, zoning requirements and restrictive building codes specific to this site. The existing Dutch Colonial Style house, built in 1989, was located within a One-Hundred Foot Buffer Zone on Solitude Creek, a small estuary in this Maryland Eastern Shore town. A recently adopted Floodplain Management Ordinance mandated that no new structures be built within the Buffer Zone, and that all renovated or altered existing structures be updated to meet new zoning, building and environmental code requirements.

描述罗伯特格尼建筑师：这所房子的设计在圣迈克尔斯，马里兰州，很大程度上受环境条例，分区要求和限制性建筑规范专门针对这个地点。现有的荷兰殖民地风格的房子，建于1989年，位于马里兰州东海岸镇的一个小河口孤独溪上的一个100英尺的缓冲地带内。最近通过的“滩涂管理条例”规定，在缓冲区内不得建造新的建筑物，并对所有经过翻新或改动的现有建筑物进行更新，以满足新的分区、建筑和环境规范的要求。

The existing house largely failed to take advantage of water views, the layout was not optimal, and as constructed, did not work programmatically for the new owners of this property. The existing structure was in poor condition, with rotted framing members and mold and mildew infiltration from previous floods. The Solitude Creek House did not meet many of the new code requirements; most notably the requirement that any habitable structure be located above the newly designated base flood elevation.

现有的房子很大程度上没有利用水景，布局也不是最优的，而且按照建造的方式，这一房产的新业主也没有按计划工作。现有结构状况不佳，有腐烂的框架构件、霉菌和以前洪水中的霉变入渗。独处溪屋不符合许多新的规范要求；最值得注意的是，任何可居住的建筑必须位于新指定的基础洪水高程之上。

To maintain the proximity to the water, and to avoid building a new house outside the Buffer Zone (which would be a much greater distance from the shoreline), it was decided to remove the existing structure to the foundation, increase the height of the foundation two feet, and build a new structure above this that would meet all of the new codes, ordinances and regulations. Per these regulations, the footprint was not expanded or altered.

为了保持与水的接近程度，避免在缓冲区外建造新的房屋（这将与海岸线的距离更大），决定将现有的结构移到基础，增加基础的高度两英尺，并在该基础上建造一个新的结构，以满足所有新的规范、条例和法规。根据这些法规，占地面积未扩大或改变。

While the new house is built above the existing foundation, a new covered entry porch is cantilevered beyond the foundation, permitted as long as the cantilevered section was not larger than the pre-existing stoop. A series of small decks and ramps extend to the landscape and are constructed to break apart in the event of a major storm or flooding.

当新房子建在现有地基之上时，一个新的有盖的入口门廊是在基础之上悬臂的，只要悬臂部分不大于已经存在的门廊。一系列的小甲板和坡道延伸到景观中，在发生大风暴或洪水时被建造成裂开。

The goals of the project were to take advantage of water views and provide light filled spaces, while accommodating the owners’ collection of modern art, which includes works by one owner, who is an artist specializing in abstract paintings. In response to a relatively tight budget, the buildings’ Massing and Materials are simple and straight forward. A combination of windows varying in size, shape and location animate the spaces, while providing controlled views of the water, pine forest and adjacent marshes.

该项目的目标是利用水景，提供充满光线的空间，同时容纳业主收集的现代艺术，其中包括一位专门从事抽象绘画的艺术家的作品。在预算相对紧张的情况下，建筑物的集合和材料都是简单而直接的。不同大小、形状和位置的窗口组合使空间充满活力，同时提供对水、松林和邻近沼泽的受控视图。
