加里森老农庄的山顶草地是这个大约350平方英尺的多功能游戏空间的场地,由于其毗邻树木的高处位置而被称为 “树屋”。树屋分两层,一层是主楼,另一层是鸟巢,由一个可居住的聚碳酸酯内部组成,外部是再生白雪松壁板,向天空开放。

A hilltop meadow on an old Garrison farmstead is the site for this roughly 350 square foot multipurpose play space, called a ‘treehouse’ for its elevated position adjacent to a stand of trees. Occupiable on two levels—main floor, and crow’s nest—the treehouse consists of an inhabitable polycarbonate interior bounded by an exterior band of reclaimed white cedar siding, open to the sky.

进入该结构是通过一个定制的攀爬网和一个活门。一个梯子通过第二个活门通向上面的乌鸦窝,那里有一张红木写字台,可以看到草地和苹果园的景色。一个定制的不锈钢滑梯在屋顶平台和主空间之间划出弧线,形成一个优雅的雕塑物,游客在下面的休闲网中放松。

Entry to the structure is via a custom climbing net and a trap door. A ladder leads up through a second trap door to the crow’s nest above, which hosts a mahogany writing desk with views toward the meadow and apple orchard. A custom stainless steel slide arcs between the roof deck and main space, forming an elegant sculptural object beneath which visitors relax in a lounging net.

在结构的一端,护墙板分开,允许一个小阳台向主屋回望;在另一端,外墙打开,直接向哈德逊河谷看去。通过一对由结构柱变成的防火杆,回到了地面上。钢结构是在现场外制作的,然后用卡车运到现场,由起重机吊装到位。

At one end of the structure, the siding parts to allow a small balcony to look back toward the main house; at the opposite end, the façade opens up to direct views toward the Hudson River Valley. Descent back to the earth is via a pair of structural columns-turned-fire poles. The steel structure was fabricated off-site and trucked to the site where it was lifted into place by crane.
