Orcas house is a mountaintop home on Orcas Island designed by Atelier Drome for the artist Richard Brothers.

猫头鹰之家是奥尔卡斯岛的山顶之家，由Atelier Drome为艺术家Richard Brothers设计。

From the architect: Located in Washington’s San Juan Islands, we at Atelier Drome collaborated with our client to create a modern residence, dedicated to creative pursuits; the perfect artist get away. Our client for this island home spent ten years working in finance in New York City before deciding to abandon that world to re-embrace art. Over time, he has worked, taught, and exhibited art across the country, always looking for the right combination of community and quiet retreat to make his permanent home. He knew that he wanted the house to serve as a quiet retreat, disciplined working environment, and with low energy needs, all within a strict budget.

来自建筑师：位于华盛顿的圣胡安群岛，我们在Atelier Drome与我们的客户合作，创造了一个现代住宅，致力于创造性的追求，完美的艺术家走开。我们这个岛家的客户在纽约市做了十年的金融工作，然后决定放弃这个世界，重新拥抱艺术。随着时间的推移，他一直在全国各地工作、教书和展示艺术，总是寻找社区和安静的静修的适当结合，以建立他的永久家园。他知道，他希望这所房子能作为一个安静的静修场所，有纪律的工作环境，以及低能耗的环境，所有这些都在严格的预算范围内。

We made sure to include sustainable building practices in order to ensure longevity and efficiency. The home incorporates geothermal wells and heat pump, solar panels, and a sophisticated insulation system resulting in a nearly zero energy usage home. Radiant slabs, passive cooling through stack effect cross ventilation, high efficiency wood stoves, and specially constructed glazing make an efficient, comfortable home.

我们确保包括可持续的建筑实践，以确保寿命和效率。该住宅包括地热井和热泵，太阳能电池板，和一个先进的绝缘系统，导致几乎零能源使用的家庭。辐射板，通过叠置效果的被动冷却，交叉通风，高效率的木炉灶，特殊构造的玻璃，使一个高效，舒适的家庭。
