Perched on a narrow ridge overlooking the Potomac River, this home was designed to replace a plain, ordinary rancher that was destroyed by fire. Though tragic, the client saw this as an opportunity to re-imagine their humble weekend retreat. As a painter and art historian respectively, they sought a replacement that was modest [$135/SF or $200K] yet inspiring. Paramount to their programmatic needs was an aspiration for the house to connect and preserve the beauty of the site; permitting nature to permeate the domestic realm.

坐落在俯瞰波托马克河的狭窄山脊上，这座房子被设计用来取代一个被火烧毁的普通农场主。虽然很悲惨，但这位客户认为这是一个机会，可以重新想象他们在周末的卑微静修。作为一名画家和艺术历史学家，他们寻求一种既温和又鼓舞人心的替代品(135美元/SF或200美元)。最符合他们的规划需要是一种愿望，房子连接和保存美丽的地点；允许自然渗透到家庭领域。

The concept – a modern reinterpretation of the vernacular dogtrot house found commonly in Appalachia – aligns the more private program along the ridge creating a linear bar running east-west optimizing the long exposures of the building. The public components (kitchen / dining / living) are then shifted towards the spectacular view to the river and the Berkeley Springs -amp; Potomac Railroad below. This singular move creating two overlapping volumes is accentuated in section and amplified by the opposing striations of wood and metal cladding which recalls the fluted rocks so common to the region.

这个概念-一种对阿巴拉契亚常见的乡土狗步屋的现代重新诠释-使山脊上的私人项目变得更加私密，创建了一个东西向的直线酒吧，优化了建筑物的长敞口。然后，公共部分(厨房/餐饮/生活)将转向壮观的河流和伯克利泉。
