From the architect: Anchored to a rocky slope and looking out over expansive water views, this house is the expression of the clients’ desire to connect to both the immediate landscape and the view beyond. Cascading organically down the hill, the house remains firmly rooted to the earth even as it rises high above the ground. It is a complex form with a simple goal: capturing the beauty of this spectacular site.

来自建筑师：锚定在岩石斜坡上，俯瞰广阔的水景，这所房子表达了客户的愿望，连接到眼前的景观和视野之外。这座房子从山上有机地滑落下来，即使在地面上高高地升起，它仍然牢牢地扎根在地面上。这是一个复杂的形式，有一个简单的目标：捕捉这个壮观的景点的美丽。

Stacked boxes that end in large lift-slide doors direct each interior to specific views. Clusters of smaller horizontal lites perforate the walls to let in natural light and glimpses of local terrain. The volumes shift upslope as they rise, creating grass-roof patios accessible from each story. Sparse tree cover opens each view outward over the water, south toward Port Angeles, and southwest to Victoria and Port Townsend.

堆叠的箱子，结束在大电梯-滑动门，引导每个内部特定的看法。一群群较小的水平岩层穿透墙壁，使其进入自然光，并瞥见当地地形。当它们上升时，体积就会向上移动，形成了从每一层楼都可以到达的草顶露台。稀疏的树冠向外打开水面，向南向洛杉矶港，向西南到维多利亚港和汤森港。

The main volume contains an open living, dining, and kitchen space, airy and full of sunlight, with a wood-burning stove for cold nights. A reading room in a nook to the side is formed by walls of bookcases, which flow seamlessly out of the smaller scattered window pattern. A bath, storage, and office toward the back complete the ground floor. The master suite is tucked into the privacy of the basement level, dug into the slope. A guest suite occupies the volume of the second level, while an open art studio space tops the stack.

主卷包含一个开放的生活、餐饮和厨房空间，通风和充满阳光，有一个木材燃烧的炉子用于寒冷的夜晚。书柜的墙壁形成了一个位于侧面的角落的阅览室，这些书柜从较小的分散的窗户图案中无缝流出。向后的浴室、仓库和办公室完成了底层。主套房被藏在地下室层的隐私权中，挖入斜坡。客人套房占据了第二层的体积，而开放的艺术工作室空间则位于堆栈的顶部。
