这座雪松包覆的房子以复杂的场地限制为灵感,创造了一个动态的体量,拥有广阔的海湾景色。

This cedar-clad house takes complex site constraints as inspiration to create a dynamic volume with expansive views of the bay.

该地块位于一个屏障岛上,坐落在一长排房产中,这些房产已经消除了敏感的潮汐湿地,用草坪和隔墙取代了本地植被。与此相反,这个项目从恢复场地现有的湿地开始–将草地和本地植物从水面带到街道上。新的、更严格的规定,要求有较高的防洪标高和一个高架的化粪池系统,这引起了实体建筑与开放式桩基之间的博弈。

The site, on a barrier island, sits in a long line of properties that have eliminated sensitive tidal wetlands and replaced native vegetation with lawn and bulkheads. In contrast, this project began with the restoration of the site’s existing wetlands- bringing grasses and native plants through the site from the water to the street. New, stricter regulations, requiring a high flood elevation and an elevated septic system, gave rise to the play of solid massing against open piles.

一个容纳化粪池系统的混凝土体块被设置在街道边缘。这种形式被雕刻成一个入口走道,上升到房子上,把它分成两个体量,可以看到海湾的景色。一条狭窄的木板路通向甲板,将整个场地的长廊延续到水边。

A concrete mass, housing the septic system, is set against the street edge. This form is carved to create an entry walkway that rises up to house, splitting it into two volumes with a vista of the bay beyond. A narrow boardwalk leading off the deck continues the promenade across the site to the water’s edge.

大面积的铝制幕墙使主要的生活空间向高架甲板开放,形成一个大型的共享公共空间。墙壁遮挡了这个家庭空间与邻居的距离。储存元素和内置家具,包括书桌和储酒墙,都建在周边的墙壁上,以增加围护的感觉。

Large expanses of aluminum curtain wall allow the main living spaces to open onto the elevated deck, forming a large shared public space. Walls shelter this family space from the close proximity of the neighbors. Storage elements and built-in furniture, including a desk and wine-storage wall, are built into the perimeter walls to add to the feeling of enclosure.

小窗户穿透了保护性的面纱,将亲密的景象定格。在客户的要求下,餐厅位于最靠近水面的位置,并朝向日落的方向。倾斜的形式使空间可以捕捉到海湾上下的景色。

Small windows are punched through the protective veil to frame intimate views. At the client’s request the dining room was located closest to the water and oriented toward the sunset. The angled forms allow spaces to capture views up and down the bay.
