这座位于长岛东区的可持续设计的房子坐落在俯瞰水面的悬崖上，是一个一年四季都很宁静的度假胜地。起居空间向外开放，在夏天可以捕捉到凉爽的微风和拍打的海浪，而在冬天则向内朝向舒适的两面壁炉和温暖的木板。
Perched on a bluff overlooking the water, this sustainably designed house on Long Island’s East End is a serene year-round retreat. Living spaces open outward toward the landscape, catching cool breezes and lapping waves in summer, and in winter orient inwards toward a cozy two-sided fireplace and warm wood paneling.
宽大的悬臂式屋檐创造了戏剧性的外部房间，同时为夏季的阳光提供了额外的遮蔽。这座房子是现代的，但又明显参考了启发客户的温和的早期现代住宅。
Broad cantilevered overhangs create dramatic external rooms while providing additional shade from the summer sun. The house is contemporary but makes distinct reference to the modest early-modern dwellings that inspired the client.
房子的位置很独特，一边是树林，另一边是俯瞰沙滩和水边的悬崖。为了优先考虑景观和与自然环境的联系，每个空间的方向都是为了最大限度地体验周围的自然、阳光和水景。房屋保持低矮，随着地形的变化而下降，而不是打断树线，以减少它在场地上的存在。
The house is uniquely situated between a wooded forest on one side and a bluff overlooking a sandy beach and the water’s edge on the other. Prioritizing views and connections to the natural environment, each space is oriented to maximize the experience of the surrounding nature, sunlight, and water views. The house is kept low, stepping down with the terrain rather than interrupting the tree line, to minimize its presence on the site.
平屋顶上宽大的屋檐在水平方向上扩展了房子的比例，使两层楼的住宅看起来比实际要小，并使它更逐渐地溶入周围的环境。从水面上看，房子几乎消失了。
The wide eaves on the flat roofs extend the house’s proportions horizontally, making the two-story dwelling look smaller than it is and allowing it to dissolve more gradually into the surroundings. Viewed from the water, the house almost disappears.
最大胆的姿态是一个悬臂式门廊，由一个大的木板成型的混凝土墩和木板成型的挡土墙支撑，只从后面轻轻露出。
The boldest gesture, a cantilevered porch supported by a large board-formed concrete pier and board-formed retaining walls, is gently revealed only from the back.
红雪松、铜和青石等熟悉的区域色调掩盖了复杂的被动房策略和施工方法，其中包括厚实的隔热框架、连续隔热的围护结构和能量回收通风，以及提供视觉奖励和环境效益的绿色屋顶。
A familiar regional palette of red cedar, copper, and bluestone belies the sophisticated passive house strategies and construction methods incorporated, which include thick insulated framing, a continuously insulated envelope and energy-recovery ventilation, and a green roof that provides both a visual reward and environmental benefits.
在有限的材料调色板上精心设计的建筑，支持了为几代人服务的高性能住宅的愿景。
