We were engaged to design a new four bedroom farmhouse on an existing 280 acre family farm in a remote area of northeastern Pennsylvania. The owners chose a piece of land in a meadow on the edge of a hedgerow. The building was designed with a low surface area to volume ratio in order to save costs and simultaneously reflect the simple white form of the practical farmhouse architecture of this region.

我们在宾夕法尼亚州东北部的一个偏远地区设计了一个新的四卧室农舍，占地280英亩。业主们在树篱边缘的草地上选择了一块土地。该建筑设计采用低表面积体积比，既节约了成本，又体现了该地区实用农舍建筑的简单白色形式。

The rolling sunshades and screens that enclose the building were designed to respond to solar gain through the large south-facing windows and also enable the building to be safely closed when the owners wanted more privacy.

围绕着大楼的滚动遮阳罩和遮阳屏的设计，是为了应对通过大南面窗户获得的太阳能，并在业主想要更多隐私的情况下，让建筑物安全关闭。

Toward the end of the construction phase, the contractor presented anecdotal evidence that when the sunshades were closed on hot summer days, the inside temperature was reduced by as much as 20 degrees F. Currently there is no air conditioning in the building but the ambient inside temperature seems comfortable for all occupants.

在施工阶段接近尾声时，承包商提供了一些轶事证据表明，在炎热的夏季关闭遮阳篷时，室内温度降低了多达20华氏度，目前大楼内没有空调，但室内环境温度对所有居住者来说似乎都很舒适。

This new Pennsylvania farmhouse is heated with a ground source heat pump, backed up with a wood-fired boiler. Wood for the boiler comes from deadfall trees and branches from the surrounding woodlands on the farm.

这座新的宾州农舍是用地面源热泵加热的，用一个木柴锅炉作为后盾。锅炉用的木材来自农场周围林地的枯树和树枝。

The heat from the wood stove in the living room is captured by ducts at the ceiling and circulated to other rooms throughout the house.

客厅里的木材炉子的热量被天花板上的管道所捕捉，并传遍了整个房子的其他房间。
