边界点小屋位于不列颠哥伦比亚省南部的一个冰川湖之上，是一个大家庭每年夏天重新联系的聚会场所。我们的客户是一个年轻的家庭，他们喜欢季节性地到湖边来，希望有一个能向风景开放的房子，并为各种活动提供灵活性。这家人在湖边拥有的土地，包括一个现有的小木屋，已经有好几年了，他们回忆说，他们被这块土地的独特特点、全景和下面水面上的明亮反射所吸引。
Perched above a glacial lake in southern British Columbia, Boundary Point Cabin is a gathering place for an extended family to reconnect each summer. Our clients, a young family who enjoy seasonal visits to the lake, desired a home that opened to the landscape and provided flexibility for varied activities. The family had owned land above the lake, which included a small existing cabin, for several years, and recalled being drawn to the unique characteristics of the property, its panoramic views, and brilliant reflections off the water below.
在最初的访问中，我们探索了倾斜的山坡，那里的花旗松、雪松和松树让位于岩石的俯视。拥抱着漂浮在森林中的感觉，我们设计了一个小木屋，它可以悬空在突出的岩石上，并以楔形的形式跟随景观。2,500平方英尺的房屋庆祝其周围环境的兴奋和湖边聚会的公共性质。
On an initial visit, we explored the sloping hillside, where Douglas fir, cedar, and pine gave way to a rocky overlook. Embracing the sensation of floating in the forest, we designed a cabin that cantilevers over the outcropping and follows the landscape in its wedge-like form. The 2,500-square-foot home celebrates the exhilaration of its surroundings and the communal nature of lakeside gatherings.
我们的客户希望在保护该地的自然美景的同时，进行最小限度的补充，包括新的露营地、火坑和通往湖边的楼梯。我们还在陈旧的木屋中发现了一个机会，我们将其重新安置并翻新供客人使用。为了解决在偏远地区建设的固有挑战，以及客户对成本效益的渴望，我们聘请了地区建筑商和制造商，并在当地采购了80%的建筑材料。
Our clients wanted to protect the natural beauty of the site while making minimal additions, including new campsites, a fire pit, and a stair to the lake. We also found an opportunity in the aging log cabin, which we relocated and renovated for guest use. Addressing the challenges inherent to building in a remote location and our client’s desire for a cost-effective process, we engaged regional builders and fabricators and sourced 80% of construction materials locally.
悬臂式的房屋在岩壁上，增强了漂浮在湖面上的感觉，同时也使景色更加优美。在视觉上将房屋溶入景观的概念的启发下，我们使用了深色的西部红雪松护墙板和纤维水泥板，以鼓励光和影，模糊了建筑结构和自然世界之间的界限。从支撑住宅阁楼卧室的结构中走出来，一个由花旗松梁制成的棚架引导着到达顺序，并引入了湖景。厨房是一个社交中心，家庭烹饪在这里无缝过渡到户外用餐。
Cantilevering the home over the rock face heightened the sensation of floating above the lake while framing views. Inspired by the notion of visually dissolving the home into the landscape, we used dark-stained Western red cedar siding and fiber cement panels to encourage light and shadow to blur the line between the built structure and the natural world. Emerging from the structure supporting the home’s lofted bedrooms, a trellis made of Douglas fir beams guides the arrival sequence and introduces lake views. The kitchen is a social heart, where family cooking seamlessly transitions to outdoor dining.
我们用预处理的桦木胶合板包裹了充满阳光的大房间，提升了一种不起眼的材料，以提供温暖和一个轻松的框架。通过沿着甲板雕刻部分外墙，我们将湖的南部曲线带入视野，创造了一个全景式的有利位置。窗墙处细长的钢横撑提供了所需的刚度和剪切力，同时保留了视野。
We wrapped the light-filled great room with pre-finished birch plywood panels, elevating a humble material to provide warmth and a relaxed framework. By carving away a portion of the façade along the deck, we brought the southern curve of the lake into view and created a panoramic vantage point. Slender steel cross bracing at the window wall provides needed stiffening and shear while preserving views.
住宅主楼外的楼梯通向阁楼上的两间卧室和浴室，上面还有一个双层房间，可通过梯子进入。虽然主要是为了夏季使用，但节能的壁炉和供暖系统，以及连续的外部绝缘材料，在寒冷的天气里提供了充分的舒适。在温暖的夏季，起居区、厨房和卧室的大型可操作门窗使整个房间自然通风。
A stair outside the home’s main volume leads to two bedrooms and bathrooms in a loft, with an additional bunk room tucked above and accessed by a ladder. While primarily intended for summer use, an energy-efficient fireplace and heating system, and continuous exterior insulation, provide ample comfort in cold weather. During warm summer months, large operable windows and doors in the living area, kitchen, and bedrooms allow natural ventilation throughout.
