Designed by Suyama Peterson Deguchi, River Residence is a serene shelter embracing the natural beauty of the rugged mountain area. The complex program for a retired couple included a guest wing and extended outdoor living areas. The site is located within an older cul-de-sac development above a meandering river and the challenge was to build a private oasis in this dense setting with a connection to the river and the surrounding scenic mountains.

由Suyama Peterson Deguchi设计的河流住宅是一个宁静的庇护所，包含了崎岖山区的自然美景。对一对退休夫妇的复杂计划包括一个客座翼和延伸的户外生活区。该遗址位于一条蜿蜒河流上方的一个较老的库尔-德-囊开发项目中，面临的挑战是在这个密密的环境中建造一片私人绿洲，与河流和周围风景秀丽的山脉相连。

An elongated concrete wall on the north side provides a structural backbone for the composition. All program elements were located on or below grade and under a sheltering shed roof to enhance the sense of protection in this sometimes harsh environment. Concrete was chosen as the dominant material for its durability and because it aesthetically anchors the design to the site. While visually extending the interior spaces and creating outdoor rooms, the raw materiality of the concrete sets up a compositional base for the remaining wood, glass, metal and plaster finishes.

在北侧的一个拉长的混凝土墙为该组合物提供了一个结构骨干。所有的程序元素位于或低于等级和在一个遮蔽棚屋屋顶下，以加强保护意识，在这个有时恶劣的环境。混凝土因其耐久性而被选定为主导材料，并因其美观地将设计锚定在工地上。在视觉上扩展室内空间和创造室外房间的同时，混凝土的原材料为剩余的木材、玻璃、金属和石膏的完成奠定了一个组成基础。

When approached from the street, the house is very understated and minimal. Upon entering the house through the conceptual front door (gate), one finds a rich sequence of spaces, bounded by concrete and plantings. Here, the division between inside and outside first becomes blurred. This sense of uncertainty extends through the airlock entry to the interior of the main space. The synergy of the landscape architecture, art and furnishings contribute to the serene sense of place.

当从街上走近时，房子非常低调，而且很少。当你从概念性的前门(门)进入房子时，你会发现一个由混凝土和植物包围的丰富的空间序列。在这里，内部和外部的界限首先变得模糊。这种不确定感通过气闸入口延伸到主空间的内部。景观建筑、艺术和家具的协同作用有助于营造宁静的场所感。
