建筑师：大棚建筑

Originally occupied by a small cottage in disrepair, this new modern home in East Capitol Hill is an economical, efficient, low-maintenance, and modern version of a traditional Seattle house. By limiting windows along the sides of the house and focusing the glazing towards the east and west, the home establishes a strong connection to its front and rear yards while protecting its occupants from the heavily used side-yards of the neighbors.

这座位于东国会山的新现代住宅最初被一座破旧的小木屋所占用，是一座经济、高效、低维护、现代化的传统西雅图住宅。通过限制房屋两侧的窗户，并将玻璃窗聚焦到东面和西面，住宅与其前后庭院之间建立了牢固的联系，同时保护其居住者免受邻居们大量使用的侧码的影响。

Site This 40’ x 120‘ lot in East Capitol Hill sits on a well-traveled arterial along a bus line. Originally occupied by a small cottage in disrepair, this site is flanked by two multi-unit buildings: to the south a rental house that extends the length of the property line with several windows along that façade; to the north, a triplex with a south-facing entry court encroaches upon the original plot by means of an easement. The primary orientation is east toward the tree-lined street from an elevated front yard, from which the ground gently slopes west up towards a flat rear yard and existing garage and driveway along an alley.

这个位于东国会山的40‘x120’地段坐落在一条公共汽车线路上，交通繁忙。原由一间失修的小木屋占据，这幅土地两旁是两栋多单元的建筑：南边是一栋出租房屋，房子的长度延伸到楼面的几扇窗户上；在北面，一栋三层楼，朝南的入口法院，以地役权的方式侵占了原来的地块。主要的方向是从一个高架前院向东向树旁的街道倾斜，从那里地面缓缓地向西倾斜，朝向平坦的后院和沿着小巷的现有车库和车道。

Program The clients asked for an economical, efficient, low-maintenance, and modern version of a traditional Seattle house – one with primary living spaces on the main floor and three bedrooms above. Having come from a culture with a tradition of courtyard houses, the clients were intent on creating comfortable outdoor spaces with a strong connection to their interior living areas. The social family chef wanted the kitchen to occupy a central and commanding position in the house. Because the clients use diverse forms of transit, they desired easy access both from the garage in back and the bus stop in front.

项目客户要求一个经济，高效，低维护，现代版本的传统西雅图房屋-一个主要的居住空间在主楼层和三个卧室以上。来自一种传统的四合院的文化，客户致力于创造舒适的户外空间，与他们的内部居住区有很强的联系。这位社会家庭厨师希望厨房在这所房子里占据中心和制胜的位置。由于客户使用多种形式的交通工具，他们希望从后面的车库和前面的公共汽车站都能方便地到达。

Design By limiting windows along the sides of the house and focusing the glazing towards the east and west, the home establishes a strong connection to its front and rear yards while protecting its occupants from the heavily used side-yards of the neighbors. A walled and elevated terrace extending from the sunken living room claims the front yard as occupiable space and shields the fully glazed living spaces from passersby. This terrace and the adjacent front entry are partially framed by white walls and ceilings that extend from the interior, welcoming and protecting visitors. Corrugated metal siding and concrete site walls were used where privacy was desired, while wood windows, doors, and siding were used at the sheltered open ends where people interact directly with the building’s exterior.

通过限制房屋两侧的窗户，并将玻璃窗集中在东面和西面，住宅与其前后庭院之间建立了牢固的联系，同时保护住户不受邻居们大量使用的侧码的影响。从沉陷的起居室延伸出来的有墙和高架的露台声称前院是可占用的空间，并将完全玻璃化的生活空间与路人屏蔽在一起。这一梯田和相邻的前面入口部分是由白色的墙壁和天花板，从内部延伸，欢迎和保护游客。瓦楞纸金属墙板和混凝土场地墙是在需要隐私的地方使用的，而木窗、门和墙板则是在遮蔽的开口端使用，人们在那里直接与建筑物的外部进行交互。

Sustainability A high performance enclosure is achieved by Advanced Framing (requires up to 30% less lumber) and an effective combination of insulation products and methods. Triple-pane windows protected by aluminum plate ‘visors’ and metal siding create a low-maintenance envelope. A south-facing light monitor with a motorized north-facing awning window creates a stack effect for ventilation while providing ample daylight. Heating is supplied by a high-efficiency boiler, indirect water storage tank, and in-floor radiant heating controlled by programmable (Nest) thermostats. With the exception of select decorative fixtures, LED lighting was used throughout the house.

可持续性高性能外壳是通过先进的框架(需要多达30%的木材)和绝缘产品和方法的有效组合来实现的。由铝板‘外观’和金属壁板保护的三层玻璃窗户创造了一个低维护的信封。一个南面的灯光监视器与一个机动的北面遮阳窗创造了一个烟囱的通风效果，同时提供充足的日光。加热由高效锅炉、间接储水箱和可编程(Nest)恒温器控制的地板辐射供暖提供。除了选择装饰装置外，整个房子都使用LED照明。
