这座房子坐落在一座山的山顶上，俯瞰着诺德罗斯湖的湖水和湖中的小岛。位于卑尔根市南部约15分钟的车程，附近有一个半农村和近乎田园的质量，这部分来自于丰富的树林和树木，但也有一个独特的和风景如画的景观，山丘和沿海海湾相结合的开放视野。

The house sits upon the brow of a hill, overlooking the waters of Lake Nordås and its collection of small islands. Situated around fifteen minutes drive to the south of the city of Bergen, the neighborhood has a semi-rural and almost bucolic quality, which comes partly from the wealth of woods and trees, but also the open views of a unique and picturesque landscape where hills and coastal inlets combine.

为亚历山大和托杰-格里格设计的房子本身就充分利用了这种引人入胜的开放视野。托德-桑德斯把房子描述成一种 “观景器”，主要的生活空间向水面望去，而侧面的立面则更有保护性，相对封闭，有助于突出诺尔道斯湖本身的焦点。

The design of the house itself, for Alexander and Tonje Grieg, makes the most of this engaging, open vista. Todd Saunders describes the house as a kind of ‘view finder’ with the main living spaces looking out across the water, while the side elevations are more protected and relatively enclosed, helping to sharpen the focus upon Lake Nordås itself.

桑德斯刚刚完成了他自己的房子S别墅的设计工作，在那里他开始尝试一些成功的想法和设计方案，这些想法和方案被纳入格里格别墅的设计过程。这些想法包括抬高主要的家庭空间以加强与景观的联系，一个流畅的开放式生活区，以及在房子的这些更 “公共 “的部分和专门用于工作或学习的空间之间建立有用的分隔感。

Saunders had just finished working on his own house, Villa S, where he had begun experimenting with a number of successful ideas and design solutions that fed into the design process for Villa Grieg. These included the idea of elevating the main family spaces to enhance connections with the view, a fluid and open plan living area, and a useful sense of separation between these more ‘communal’ parts of the house and spaces devoted to work or study.

除了一个储藏室，别墅底层唯一的空间是音乐工作室，它被设置在一个雕塑般的斜坡上，同时也是主入口和楼梯。楼梯沿着这个坡度向主生活区上升，一条长长的水平玻璃带框住了开阔的风景，当人们步入住宅的私人领域时，它带来了惊人的冲击。所有的家庭空间，包括两间卧室，都坐落在这个高处的部分，它漂浮在地面上的一系列试点。

The only space on the ground floor of the villa, apart from a store room, is the music studio, which is set within a sculptural, sloping form that also holds the main entrance and the staircase. The stairs ascend this slope as they rise up towards the main living area and a long, horizontal band of glass frames a vista of the open landscape, which makes a striking impact as one steps into the private realm of the home. All the family spaces, including two bedrooms, sit within this part of this elevated part of the house, which floats above the ground plane on a series of piloti.

空间的包围始于一个开放式的生活空间，它将厨房、用餐区和家庭座位区结合在一起，安排在一面落地玻璃墙旁边，落地玻璃墙向后滑动，形成一个面向西部湖景的开放阳台。在这之外，一个半遮蔽的阳台坐落在建筑的轮廓内。按照其余空间的顺序，当它们环绕着开放的庭院时，有一间格里格的女儿的卧室，还有一间浴室和客人卧室。除此之外，东北角的电视室形成了一个天然的缓冲区，有助于保护房子中最私密的元素，即宽敞的主人套房。

The enfilade of spaces begins with an open plan living space that combines the kitchen, dining area, and family seating zone, arranged alongside a wall of floor-to-ceiling glass that slides back to form an open balcony facing the lake view to the west. Beyond this, a semi-sheltered veranda sits within the outline of the building. Following the sequence of remaining spaces, as they wrap around the open courtyard, there is a bedroom for the Grieg’s daughter plus a bathroom and guest bedroom. Beyond this, a television room on the northeastern corner forms a natural buffer zone that helps protect the most private element of the house holding the spacious master suite.

房子的整体占地面积是有意和有目的的适度的。任何对场地自然特征的影响都被小心翼翼地降到了最低，很少有人工景观，以及对现有树木和植被的敏感保护。钢架建筑没有对场地进行任何平整，而是适应了现有地形的起伏和山坡本身的特点。

The overall footprint of the house is intentionally and purposefully modest. Any impact upon the natural character of the site has been carefully minimized, with very little in the way of artificial landscaping, as well as the sensitive preservation of the existing trees and vegetation. Rather than any grading of the site, the steel-framed building adapts to the undulations of the existing topography and the character of the hillside itself.
