安大略省农村的家庭度假胜地。这个项目的客户住在国外，为他们年轻的大家庭寻找一个加拿大的家园–一个锚。在暑假和寒假期间，父母希望他们的孩子能沉浸在安大略省的风景中，就像他们成长的地方一样。为此，他们要求为其100英亩的森林、湿地和草地的财产提供一个 “质朴的现代休闲场所”。
A Family Retreat in Rural Ontario. The clients for this project live abroad and sought a Canadian homestead — an anchor — for their large, young family. During the summer and winter holidays, the parents wanted their children immersed in an Ontario landscape like the one in which they were raised. To this end, they requested a “rustic, modern retreat” for their 100-acre property of forest, wetland, and meadows.
这个家庭寻求一个宽敞的住宅，让年轻的青少年和大家庭能够在一个偏远地区舒适地长期居住下去。他们为家人和他们的狗寻求一个休闲、舒适的空间，鼓励他们进行徒步旅行和雪地徒步等活动–没有花哨的娱乐活动。
The family sought a generous home to allow young teenagers and extended family to be comfortable in a remote area for long stays. They sought a casual, comfortable space for the family and their dogs that would encourage activities like hiking and snowshoeing — no fancy entertaining.
在一个屋檐下。设计中最有力的方面是长长的、像帐篷一样的屋顶，它顺着场地的地形。屋顶和它的脊梁成为设计的主要焦点，塑造了住宅内部的流通路径，最终将视野延伸至森林。一个主要的技术挑战是屋顶的结构，尽管它有60米长，但需要看起来很轻。钢制屋顶的褶皱和角度由蜿蜒的屋脊梁支撑。屋顶在所有的边缘都悬空和变细。在房子的入口处，屋顶像鸟的翅膀一样从下面的车库体量中升起，遮住了一个户外露台。
Under One Roof. The most powerful aspect of the design is the long, tent-like roof, which follows the site’s topography. The roof and its ridge beam became the design’s primary focus, shaping the circulation path through the home’s interior, ultimately extending a view toward the forest. A primary technical challenge was the roof’s structure, which despite its 60-meter length needed to seem light. The folds and angles of the steel roof are supported by the meandering ridge beam. The roof cantilevers and tapers at all edges. At the entry side of the house, the roof lifts like a bird’s wing off the garage volume beneath, sheltering an outdoor terrace.
玩转重与轻。石板包覆的体量是住宅的基础，并界定了玻璃窗帘之间的空间。这些不透明的体量呼应了该物业的岩石露头。车库、浴室、楼梯和茶水间都集中在里面，似乎在支撑着动态屋顶。选择钢结构是为了避免在这个森林度假胜地使用预期的重型木材材料。考虑到客户希望有一个温暖的室内环境，避免现代主义的箱形结构也很重要。由于主楼被抬高到地面以上，地形下降，主楼在树梢上，同时也使低层的休闲区充满了光线。
Playing with Heavy and Light. Monolithic slate-clad volumes anchor the home and define the space between the curtains of glass. These opaque volumes echo the property’s rock outcrops. The garage, bathrooms, stairs, and pantry are grouped inside, and appear to hold up the dynamic roof. Steel construction was chosen to avoid using the expected material of heavy timber for this forest getaway. Being cognizant of the clients’ desire for a warm interior, it was also important to avoid modernist tendencies for box-like forms. Because the main floor is lifted above the ground and the topography falls away, the main floor is in the treetops while simultaneously filling the lower recreation area with light.
对温暖和亲近的现代方法。住宅的连续空间，只有卧室和浴室是封闭的，这种布局强调了亲密性。家庭区和父母区都在主楼层。孩子们的卧室被捆绑在一个单一的板岩体中，像一个茧一样悬挂在主楼的40英尺的钢梁上，并通过一个猫道进入。
A Contemporary Approach to Warmth and Closeness. The continuous space of the home, with only bedrooms and bathrooms closed off, is a layout that underscores closeness. The family areas and parents’ areas are on the main level. The kids’ bedrooms are bundled into a single slate-clad volume, suspended like a cocoon above the main floor from a 40’ steel beam and accessed by a catwalk.
可持续性。为了避免砍伐树木，房屋被安置在现有的空地上，俯瞰着一片野花草甸。该住宅通过地热装置进行供暖和制冷，通过大量的屋顶悬垂减少夏季的太阳辐射。玻璃墙是三层的，高效的装置和水井及化粪池系统的设备有助于减少房屋对环境的影响。从历史上看，加拿大人的身份是由我们与土地的关系决定的。为了满足客户的要求，该住宅通过视觉和材料与周围环境的协调来尊重这种情感联系。
Sustainability. To avoid cutting trees, the home was placed on an existing cleared ridge overlooking a wildflower meadow. The home is heated and cooled via a geothermal unit with summer solar gain reduced by significant roof overhangs. The glass walls are triple-pane, and high-efficiency fixtures and equipment for the well and septic system help reduce the home’s environmental impact. Historically, the Canadian identity has been defined by our relationship to the land. Fulfilling the client’s mandate, the home honors that emotional connection through visual and material harmonization with its surroundings.
