Henry Island Guesthouse is a thoughtful response to evolving a family retreat on a remote location. Through its sensitive approach to site, a compact linear form, restrained material selection, and strategies for occupant wellbeing, the project provides abundance without excess, offering guests immersion within a remarkable natural environment.

亨利岛宾馆是对在偏远地区发展家庭度假胜地的深思熟虑的回应。通过对场地的敏感处理、紧凑的线性形式、有限的材料选择以及居住者福祉的策略，该项目提供了丰富而不多余的空间，让客人沉浸在非凡的自然环境中。

The guesthouse is an addition to a secluded site in the San Juan Islands. The main residence on the 24-acre property, designed by our practice in 2012, sits in a meadow overlooking a shallow bay. When new owners purchased the property, they engaged us to create additions that respected the natural character of the island and its few homesites. The 1,350 square-foot guesthouse responds to their desire to create flexible space for hosting family and friends during extended stays, and for a sensitively scaled dwelling that relates to the vocabulary of the main home while maintaining a distinct identity.

该宾馆是圣胡安群岛一处僻静地点的补充。占地 24 英亩的主住宅由我们的事务所于 2012 年设计，坐落在一片草地上，俯瞰着浅海湾。当新业主购买该房产时，他们聘请我们进行扩建，以尊重该岛及其为数不多的住宅区的自然特征。这座 1,350 平方英尺的宾馆满足了他们的愿望，即为长期住宿期间接待家人和朋友创造灵活的空间，并为住宅提供一个与主住宅的词汇相关的敏感尺度住宅，同时保持独特的身份。

The experience of arriving at the island by boat and approaching the site shaped the location of the guesthouse and its relationship to the original residence. A winding path leads from the dock through woodland before curving back toward the home. We located the guesthouse uphill from the primary residence along this approach, marking a transition from dense forest to sunlit meadow. The gently sloping site allowed us to anchor one end of the building into the earth and cantilever the other above grade, minimizing disturbance while creating a distinct character for each bedroom.

乘船到达岛屿并接近场地的经历塑造了宾馆的位置及其与原来住宅的关系。一条蜿蜒的小路从码头穿过林地，然后弯曲回到家。我们沿着这条道路将宾馆定位在主要住宅的山上，标志着从茂密的森林到阳光明媚的草地的过渡。缓坡的场地使我们能够将建筑物的一端锚定在地面上，并将另一端悬臂在地面上，最大限度地减少干扰，同时为每间卧室创造独特的特色。

Because of the remote location and limited access, the project team prefabricated many building components offsite and transported during construction. The original residence was constructed of steel, exposed Douglas fir framing, and glass, with exterior weathered steel and cedar siding. We used these materials to visually link new and existing buildings, with a weathering steel wall that screens private areas from view. The entrance is marked by a cast-in-place concrete ledge, which anchors the building visually and provides a seating area, and an aperture in the steel wall. Slender steel columns, exposed timber beams, and seamless indoor-outdoor movement relate to key features of the original home.

由于地处偏远、交通受限，项目团队在场外预制了许多建筑构件，并在施工过程中进行运输。原来的住宅由钢、外露花旗松框架和玻璃建造，外部有风化钢和雪松壁板。我们使用这些材料在视觉上连接新建筑和现有建筑，并用耐候钢墙遮挡私人区域。入口处有一个现浇混凝土壁架，它在视觉上固定了建筑物，并提供了一个座位区和钢墙上的一个孔。细长的钢柱、裸露的木梁和无缝的室内外运动与原始住宅的主要特征相关。

Our clients requested two bedrooms of identical size but with distinguishing characteristics. Although they intended for everyone to gather for meals in the main residence, they recognized that a living room with a small kitchen would help guests feel at ease in their own space. From the earliest sketches, we sought to separate the bedrooms, giving each privacy and unique views, with the living room and kitchen between. Taking cues from a breezeway in the main residence, the common space opens to the landscape, like a porch. By doing so, guests are immersed in a quintessential Pacific Northwest landscape, activating their senses with the sounds and smells of the island. One side of the living room overlooks the meadow, while the opposite has expansive views of the forest with glimpses of the bay. With deep roof overhangs and operable windows in all spaces, daylighting, and natural ventilation further enhance this connection to place.

我们的客户要求两间大小相同但各具特色的卧室。虽然他们想让每个人都在主住所聚集用餐，但他们意识到带有小厨房的客厅可以帮助客人在自己的空间中感到轻松自在。从最早的草图开始，我们就试图将卧室分开，为每间卧室提供隐私和独特的景观，客厅和厨房位于中间。公共空间从主住宅的走廊中汲取灵感，像门廊一样向景观开放。通过这样做，客人可以沉浸在典型的太平洋西北风景中，用岛上的声音和气味激活他们的感官。客厅的一侧俯瞰着草地，而另一侧则可以欣赏到广阔的森林景观和海湾的景色。所有空间均设有深悬挑屋顶和可操作的窗户，采光和自然通风进一步增强了与场所的联系。
