魔鬼谷位于布鲁斯半岛，距多伦多北部几小时车程。设计过程从一次现场野餐开始，讨论的重点是场地的自然元素而不是建筑。那次谈话激发了未来项目的道德观。

Devil’s Glen is located on the Bruce Peninsula, a few hours north of Toronto. The design process began with an on-site picnic, where a discussion focused more on the natural elements of the site rather than the building. That conversation inspired the ethic of the project to come.

设计从两个方面开始，一个是将房子选址在NSEW上，以利用全天的太阳能路径、水的景观，并尽可能避免干扰自然栖息地。第二个目标是让屋顶景观成为塑造光线、亲密程度以及通往树梢、水面和天空的有利位置的装置。

The design began with two fixations, one having the house sited true to an NSEW to take advantage of the solar path throughout the day, the view to the water, and to avoid disturbing as much of the natural habitat as possible. The second fixation was to have the roofscape act as a device to shape light, levels of intimacy, and vantage points to the treetops, water, and sky beyond.

这座房子被组织成两个直线条，一个是睡眠区，另一个是开放的生活空间。该计划采用了一个简单的网格，生活空间为12’x16’，睡眠空间为12’x12’，以使生活在其中不受阻碍。两个栅栏的简单移动产生了一个面向水面的有盖阳台和一个入口处的有盖门廊，同时增加了主卧室和次要浴室设施的隐私。栏杆的移动和房子的选址，也掩盖了到达现场时的水景。一旦你进入房子，景观和水就会通过面向森林的小格子风格的窗户以及面向湖面的广阔的玻璃墙展现出来。

The house is organized in two linear bars, one with sleeping quarters and the other with open living space. A modesty to the plan uses a simple grid of 12’ x 16’ for living spaces and 12’ x 12’ for sleeping to enable unobstructed life to exist within. A simple shift of the two bars produces a covered terrace facing the water and a covered porch at the entry, while simultaneously increasing privacy for both the primary bedroom and the secondary bathroom facilities. This shift in the bars, and the siting of the house, also conceals the view of the water upon arrival to the site. Once you enter the house, the landscape and water are revealed via vignette-style windows facing the forest, as well as an expansive glass wall facing the lake.

该计划以一个看似简单的屋顶为顶点，从结构和形式上回应了该地区可能发生的大范围降雪。屋顶的形式和结构概念是谦虚的，使用框架和包层桁架来增加横向稳定性，但这些有双重目的。虽然屋顶的外表面是一致的，但自由度被观察到，在主墙高度以上的两个条形之间的隔断可以做什么。在每个窗台内，这个隔板被允许从左到右摇摆，有时会产生一个亲密的屋檐，一个大棚，或一个漏斗状的光线。这种策略在观天台的形式中得到了进一步的发挥，观天台将你带入这个屋顶景观中，观看树梢、云朵和星星。

The plan is capped with a seemingly simple roof that structurally and formally responds to the extensive snowfalls that can happen in the area. Modesty is observed in the roof’s formal and structural concept using framed and clad trusses to increase lateral stability, but these have a dual purpose. While the exterior face of the roof is consistent, freedom was observed with what could be done with the partition between the two bars above the height of the primary walls. Within each bay, this partition is allowed to sway from left to right, sometimes producing an intimate gable, a grand shed, or a funnel of light. This tactic is played further in the form of a sky-gazing platform that brings you up into this roofscape to view the treetops, clouds, and stars.

选择一个单一的金属建筑的灵感来自于该地区的农场建筑，坚固的镀锌规格，不含饰面的颜色，增加了坚固性，并反映了全天的景观和天空的色调。在内部，屋顶上简单地应用了白色的干墙和胶合板，使建筑装置变得简单，同时为艺术、景观和阳光提供了一个无憾的背景。

The choice of a singular metal building was inspired by farm buildings in the area, and a robust galvanized spec, free from finish colors, increases the robustness and reflects the hues of the landscape and sky throughout the day. On the interior, a simple application of white-painted drywall and plywood on the roofscape diagrams the architectural device, while producing an unfretted backdrop for art, views, and sunlight.
