Tower House is a sustainable retreat designed by Prentiss Balance Wickline Architects.

塔楼是由Prentiss平衡Wickline建筑师设计的可持续的静修所。

Project description: High on a wooded hilltop above a lake in Michigan, the Tower House is the result of an inspiring collaboration between our team, clients with a passion for architecture as well as their site, and a skilled local contractor.

项目描述：塔楼位于密西根州一个湖泊上方的一座树木茂密的山顶上，是我们团队、对建筑和他们的工地充满热情的客户以及熟练的当地承包商之间鼓舞人心的合作的结果。

Directed to create “a sustainable retreat that reflects the timeless beauty and simple comforts of the area,” the architects responded by raising the primary living space above the dense surrounding woods in order to gain light, air and views of Glen Lake and Lake Michigan beyond. Two fin-like, metal-clad walls rise from the crown of the hill to support a three-story plywood box suspended a full story above grade.

为了创造一个“可持续的静修所，反映出这一地区永恒的美丽和简单的舒适感”，建筑师们的反应是将主要的居住空间提升到密集的周围树林之上，以获得更远的格伦湖和密西根湖的光线、空气和景观。两个鳍状的金属包墙从山顶升起，支撑着一个三层高的胶合板盒子，上面挂着一整层楼。

As intricately detailed steel stairs climb the tower, they move from exterior to interior and from more enclosed to more open spaces, culminating in a breathtaking, glass-wrapped kitchen/living/dining space at the fourth level. Here, thirty feet above the ground, the clients enjoy views of the landscape they love, from either the birch-lined interior or expansive cantilevered decks.

随着复杂详细的钢楼梯爬上塔，他们从外部到内部，从更封闭到更开放的空间，在第四层的令人惊叹的，玻璃包裹厨房/生活/餐饮空间达到高潮。在这里，在离地面30英尺的地方，客户可以从桦树内衬或膨胀的悬臂甲板上欣赏他们喜爱的景观。
