Located in Glen Echo, Maryland, just outside of Washington, DC, this new house is sited on a sloping, wooded lot with distant views of the Potomac River. The Mohican Hills House is positioned to preserve a majority of mature trees and is oriented toward distant views of the Potomac River and a south facing slope.

位于马里兰州格伦回声，就在华盛顿特区外，这座新房子坐落在一个倾斜的，树木多的地段，远望波托马克河。莫西干山庄的位置是保护大多数成熟的树木，并面向远处的波托马克河和一个南面的斜坡。

A linear composition of spaces arranged along the ridge and open to an existing clearing provides a large lawn with minimal site intrusion. The Mohican Hills house is organized around a two-story living space with an open floor plan that integrates the high-ceilinged volume with intimate spaces adjacent to the double height living space.

沿山脊布置并对现有空地开放的空间的线性组合，提供了一个大草坪和最小的场地侵入。Mohican Hills的房子是围绕一个两层的居住空间与开放式平面图组织起来的，它将高天花板的空间与紧邻双高居住空间的亲密空间结合起来。

A small office on the first floor is separated from the living spaces and is convertible to a fifth bedroom. A three story entry volume separates the master bedroom area from the subsidiary bedrooms. Expanses of glass provide views into the wooded landscape toward the distant river and animate the house with light. A combination intersecting spaces and strategically located high glass panels insure light penetration all times of day and all times of the year.

一楼的一间小办公室与起居空间分开，可转换成第五间卧室。一个三层高的入口卷将主卧室区域和附属卧室隔开。广阔的玻璃向远处的河流提供森林景观的景观，并使房子充满了亮光。一个组合相交的空间和战略位置的高玻璃面板，确保光渗透的所有时间的一天和所有时间的一年。

This house employs a concrete slab throughout the main floor which provides passive solar energy assistance. The concrete is stained dark with the goal of increasing the potential solar gain and storage.

这所房子在整个主地板上使用了一个混凝土板，提供被动太阳能援助。混凝土被染成暗色，目的是增加潜在的太阳能增益和储存。

Expanses of Energy Star glass provide an abundance of daylighting while solar sensitive shades mediate heat gain. Energy efficient appliances, high efficiency HVAC Equipment, wall and ceiling infrastructure with maximum insulation and a ventilated building envelope are employed with the expectation of reducing fossil fuel consumption.

扩展的能源之星玻璃提供充足的采光，而太阳能敏感的阴影调节热量的增加。采用节能设备、高效暖通空调设备、具有最大绝缘度的墙体和天花板基础设施以及通风建筑围护结构，以期降低化石燃料消耗。

Large operable windows and doors are located to provide natural ventilation. Thermally modified wood is employed as an alternative to exotic or expensive hardwoods. The wood is forest managed and treated, no-toxic and durable.

大的可操作的窗户和门的位置，以提供自然通风。热改性木材是一种替代外来或昂贵的硬木。这种木材是经过森林管理和处理的，无毒耐用.
