荷兰克里斯-科拉里斯建筑事务所在布赖奇山设计了一座别墅，俯瞰加拿大安大略省西南部农村地区的绿地和树林。在拥有一个成功的绿色苗圃的同时，相邻的一块50公顷的地块，主要由季节性豆田和树林组成，是客户将现有财产范围和准备建造别墅的首要机会。为了使设计符合客户未来的愿望，该别墅必须是生命周期的证明。但设计也必须满足大型家庭住宅的要求，因为必须预见到孩子和孙子的家庭增长。
The Dutch architectural office of Chris Collaris designed a villa in Mount Brydges, overlooking the green fields and woods in the rural area of Southwestern Ontario, Canada. While having a successful green nursery, an adjacent plot of 50 hectares, mainly consisting of seasonal beans fields and woods, was the number one chance for the client to extent the existing property and getting it ready to build a villa for the rest of their life. To fit the design to the future wishes of the client, the villa had to be life cycle proof. But the design also had to meet the demands of a big family house, because a family growth of children with grandchildren had to be foreseen.
功能方案对建筑设计产生了最重要的影响。所有的生活空间都被安排在一个楼层。这个方案的传播导致了一个中央中庭，它连接了所有的空间，并从建筑结构的最内部引入了光线。自然光来自上方，别墅中大部分长长的视线都穿过中庭。平面图上的每一个空间都与外部有不同的联系和方向。在绿色的豆田和树林中，每个房间的景色都是不同的。别墅是根据安大略省西南部的气候专门设计的。夏天可能很热，冬天总是很冷，有很多雪。别墅被设计成一个大的天幕，在不同的方向上伸展得更长更短。篷子在夏天将强烈的太阳光和温暖挡在房子外面，但在冬天又允许它进入。
The functional program had the most important influence on the architectural design. All the living spaces have been organized on one floor. The spread of this program lead to a central atrium which connects all spaces and brings in light from the most inner part of the building structure. Natural daylight comes from above and most of the long sight lines in the villa go through the atrium. Every single space on the floor plan has a different connection and orientation to the outside. With green bean fields and woods the view is different in every room. The villa is specifically designed on the climate in Southwest Ontario. Summers can be very hot and winters are always cold with lots of snow. The villa has been designed with a big canopy stretching longer and shorter in different directions. The canopy is keeping the intense sun light and warmth out of the house in summer, but allowing it in again in winter.
别墅中使用的大部分材料都来自当地的生产区。地板（内部和外部）和外墙的天然石材来自安大略省的一个采石场。树冠的花旗松包层来自当地的森林，一些家具（衣帽架和餐桌）甚至是用该地块的老树的木材制成。大的绿色屋顶（Liveroof Ontario）是在小区旁边的绿色苗圃的田地上生产的。对客户来说，尽可能多地使用当地的资源和材料是非常重要的，这也呼应了这个拥有所有孩子和孙子的大家庭所带来的社交乐趣。通过这种方式，别墅找到了自己的命运，成为整个家庭未来可持续发展的遗产，用令人愉快的东西来制作。
The majority of the materials used in the villa are coming from local production areas. The natural stone of the floors (inside and outside) and the facades are coming from a quarry in Ontario. The Douglas fir cladding of the canopy is coming from a local forest and some furniture pieces (the coat rack and dining table) are even made with wood of old trees from the plot. The big green roof (Liveroof Ontario) has been produced on the fields of the green nursery next to the plot. Making as much as possible with sources and materials from a local area was important to the client, echoing the joy of the social nearness of the bigger family with all children and grandchildren. In this way, the villa found its destiny as a future proof sustainable inheritance of the whole family, made with things which were pleasantly close.
