Cloud Ranch不是一个典型的度假胜地；它是为一个西雅图人设计的，他爱上了华盛顿州Tieton这个曾经的农业中心变成了创意艺术中心。房主邀请Best Practice Architecture设计一个适度的住宅，并尊重社区的精神和所选地点的历史–一个老式的母婴果园，里面有一个退役的苹果加工设施。设计团队开发了一个深思熟虑的概念，其灵感来自于该镇在农业和艺术社区之间搭建桥梁的使命。
Cloud Ranch is not your typical retreat; designed for a Seattleite who fell in love with the once agricultural center turned creative arts hub of Tieton, Washington. The homeowner enlisted Best Practice Architecture to design a modest dwelling with respect for the spirit of the community and history of the chosen site — an old mom-and-pop orchard housing a decommissioned apple processing facility. The design team developed a thoughtful concept inspired by the town’s mission to bridge the gap between the agricultural and arts communities.
该团队将住宅与现有的谷仓结构分开，通过视觉上的对比和精心的布置，他们的设计是为了加强而不是压倒仓库。最佳实践公司拆除了仓库的一部分，为新住宅让路，通过一系列受保护的室外房间加强了建筑之间的联系。该住宅的设计是对农业乡土的一种抽象化。
The team built the home separate from the existing barn structure, which they designed to enhance, not overwhelm the warehouse through visual contrast and deliberate placement. Best Practice removed a portion of the warehouse to make way for the new home, strengthening the connection between buildings through a series of protected outdoor rooms. The home’s design is an abstraction of agrarian vernacular.
最佳实践团队特意选择了坚固和低维护的材料，以便在恶劣的气候条件下–夏季炎热、多风、多尘，冬季寒冷、多雪–也能坚持下来。在耐用性之外，设计团队利用适度的材料，与整个地区的勤劳结构的现有语言相融合。混凝土块、波纹金属壁板、玻璃纤维窗、室内胶合板墙和地板以及金属屋顶与铁顿的CMU谷仓和大棚相匹配。外观上微妙的蓝色给人以独特的感觉。
The Best Practice team deliberately chose rugged and low maintenance material that would hold up in the tough climate – hot, windy, and dusty in the summer, and cold and snowy in the winter. Outside of durability, the design team utilized modest materials to blend with the existing language of the hardworking structures peppered throughout the area. Concrete blocks, corrugated metal siding, fiberglass windows, interior plywood walls and flooring, and a metal roof fit in with the CMU barns and sheds of Tieton. Subtle punches of blue on the exterior add a unique touch.
这座两层楼的房子充分利用了远处的克里曼山山脊、亚当斯山和毗邻的樱桃园。在一楼有一个简约的卧室和主浴室。精心布置的窗户和一个走出去的有顶的天井欢迎果园的景色和遮蔽的休息。在上层，一个大的起居空间向该物业的全景开放，一个大的手风琴门通向第二个由棚顶遮蔽的宽敞的天井。
The two-story house takes full advantage of the distant Cleman Mountain ridge, Mount Adams, and a cherry orchard adjacent to the site. On the ground floor sits a simplistic bedroom and main bathroom. Carefully placed windows and a walk-out covered patio welcome orchard views and sheltered respite. On the upper floor, one large living space opens to sweeping views of the property and a large accordion door leading to a second spacious patio shaded by a shed roof.
精心排列的窗户和空间框住了房主心爱的仓库的线条，而南面和西面的 “偷看 “窗户限制了炎热月份的太阳辐射，并提供了与道路和邻居的隐私。旧的苹果加工设施与新家保持着密切的联系–现在容纳了创意空间、作家小屋、工作室、简陋的浴室和一辆被重新用作客人宿舍的Timberline第五轮拖车。
Carefully aligned windows and spaces frame the lines of the homeowner’s beloved warehouse while “peek-a-boo” windows on the South and West sides limit solar gain during the hot months and provide privacy from the road and neighbors. The old apple processing facility maintains a close connection to the new home — now housing creative spaces, a writer’s cabin, a workshop, rudimentary bathrooms, and a Timberline 5th wheel trailer repurposed as guest quarters.
房主将创意空间用于他的艺术和收藏品的储存，但也向当地的创作者开放，以进行合作和社区建设。在未来，这个大型结构将举办当地的活动和电影之夜–完成对一个旧果园的改造，使之成为蒂顿的创意和农业社区的聚会场所。
The homeowner uses the creative space for his art and collection storage but opens the doors to local creatives for collaboration and community building. In the future, the large structure will host local events and movie nights – completing the transformation of an old orchard into a gathering place for the creative and agricultural communities of Tieton.
