根特之家被设计成一个线性的结构集合,彼此之间略微歪斜,部分嵌入山坡。每个结构包含一个房间。略微升高的相互连接的地下通道在空间上和概念上将这些房间连接起来。

The Ghent House was designed as a linear collection of structures, slightly askew from one another and partially embedded into a hillside. Each structure contains one room. Slightly raised interconnecting underground passages link the rooms spatially and conceptually.

该建筑的低姿态将其对78英亩土地的影响降到最低。一个小型的、高架的入口建筑引下并进入连接房子的四间卧室、厨房、客厅和餐厅的通道。

The building’s low profile minimizes its impact on the sprawling 78-acre site. A small, elevated entry building leads down and into the passage that connects the house’s four bedrooms, kitchen, living, and dining rooms.

每个房间都集中在一个大型的玻璃开口上,提供了卡茨基尔山脉的壮观景色和通往外部的通道。场地设计容纳了雕塑、休息区、游泳池、步行道和蜂箱,并为当地养牛户提供了充足的放牧地。

Each room is focused on a large, glazed opening that provides spectacular views of the Catskill Mountains and access to the exterior. The site design accommodates sculpture, sitting areas, a pool, walking paths, and beehives, and provides ample grazing land for local cattle farmers.
