Dutchess House is a sustainable, contemporary residence designed by New York architects Grzywinski   Pons. The house is located in Millerton, New York, USA.

荷兰之家是纽约建筑师Grzywinski Pons设计的可持续的当代住宅。这座房子位于美国纽约米勒顿。

From the arhitects: When we were commissioned to design this house we were excited by a directive from the client that was very specific programmatically and where budget had primacy, but open to whatever form that might manifest from our process in addressing the clients’ requests.

来自阿希茨：当我们被委托设计这所房子时，我们对客户的一项指令感到兴奋，该指令在编程上非常具体，而且预算是首要的，但对我们处理客户请求的过程中可能表现出来的任何形式都是开放的。

The Dutchess house was conceived as country home initially used as a complement to and reprieve from their apartment in the city that could ultimately evolve into a primary residence. They wanted a detached cottage or guest house that could accommodate their visiting elderly parents for extended stays from the west coast and be available to rent out on a nightly basis at their discretion to help defray costs. Another request was to create a place that felt very open to it’s beautiful surroundings yet could be battened down and secured during any extended periods when it was unoccupied. Furthermore, the client – when anticipating stays in the house alone – requested we create a master bedroom suite that allowed unfettered access to the outdoors (both physically and visually) from a safe “perch” when the ground floor was secured for the night.

荷兰人的房子被设想为乡村住宅，最初用作对他们在城市的公寓的补充和缓期使用，最终可能演变成一个主要住宅。他们想要一座独立的别墅或客房，可以容纳他们来访的老年父母，让他们从西海岸长期居住，而且可以根据自己的酌处权，每晚租出去，以帮助支付费用。另一个要求是创造一个对它美丽的环境非常开放的地方，但是在它无人居住的任何一段长时间内，它都可以被压制和固定。此外，当客人独自一人住在房子里时，他们要求我们建造一套主卧室套房，允许我们在一楼固定过夜时，从安全的“栖息处”不受拘束地进入户外(无论是身体上还是视觉上)。

We paid special attention to sightlines, exposures, seasonal variations in the quality and direction of light and the flow and integration of interior and exterior spaces.

我们特别关注视线、曝光、光的质量和方向的季节性变化以及内外空间的流动和整合。

We also were focused on making the home very sustainable and energy efficient – while this informed the design of the home in a significant way we didn’t want the house and cottage to wear their green credentials on their sleeve as an aesthetic. The house was built with ICFs, strategically glazed with low-e assemblies and clad in high albedo mill finish aluminum. We designed deep eaves into the largest expanses of glass based on our solar studies.

我们还致力于使住宅非常可持续和节能-而这在很大程度上影响了住宅的设计，我们不希望房子和平房把绿色的凭据戴在袖子上，作为一种审美。这座房子是用ICFS建造的，用低e组件进行了战略性的玻璃化，并覆盖在高反照率的磨坊中。根据我们对太阳的研究，我们把深檐设计成最大的玻璃展厅。

The home and cottage ended up being so well insulated that we needed to specify an EVR unit for fresh air exchange.

房子和小屋的隔热效果很好，我们需要指定一个EVR装置来交换新鲜空气。

An on demand hot water system precludes any wasted energy on water heaters when the home is unoccupied and also heats the home through a hydronic radiant slab. Low flow fixtures, dual flush toilets, LED lighting, high efficiency appliances and sustainably grown lumber were all specified and employed.

按需热水系统排除了家庭空置时热水器上的任何浪费能源，并通过水合辐射板加热家庭。低流量固定装置、双冲水马桶、LED照明、高效率电器和可持续生长的木材都得到了指定和使用。

We wanted to make sure that the house felt very warm and happy – a truly convivial environment – while unabashedly modern and durable.

我们想要确保房子感觉非常温暖和快乐-一个真正的欢乐环境-同时毫不掩饰的现代和持久。

The natural environment is the star of the show and each room or interior space is predicated on celebrating that. Even the exterior cladding, specified for performance – matte aluminum and ipe – was designed to amplify the progression of hues both throughout the day and throughout the seasons.

自然环境是展览的明星，每个房间或室内空间都以庆祝为前提。甚至为性能而指定的外部包层-冰铜、铝和ipe-都是为了放大白天和整个季节色彩的变化而设计的。
