白杨云坐落在一个明显的山顶上,俯瞰着波托马克河,用自然材料包覆,是一个面向公众的颂歌,颂扬健康的房屋和谐地融入周围的环境。 白杨云坐落在巨大的郁金香白杨树下,可以看到波托马克河边上历史悠久的艾伯纳-云之家。

Perched on a visible hilltop overlooking the Potomac River and clad in natural materials, Poplar Cloud is a public-facing ode to healthy houses fitting harmoniously into their surroundings. Poplar Cloud sits beneath massive tulip poplar trees, with views to the historic Abner Cloud House along the edge of the Potomac.

由于国家公园管理局的土地在该物业的两边,大郁金香杨树的根部必须保持不受干扰。现有的1930年代平房的框架被拆除,但地基保持完好,并从内部加固,保留了邻近的地面并保护了树根。

With National Park Service land on two sides of the property, the roots of the big tulip poplars had to remain undisturbed. The frame of an existing 1930’s bungalow was demolished but the foundation left intact and reinforced from the inside, preserving the adjacent ground and protecting the roots.

房屋由郁金香杨树皮瓦、烧焦的软木板、柏树木板和铜制闪光灯组成的水平带包覆,实际上是穿上了它的景观,耐用的材料会随着它们的老化而变色。

Clad in horizontal bands of tulip poplar bark shingles, charred cork panels, cypress wood boards, and copper flashing, the house is literally dressed in its landscape, and the durable materials will patina as they age.

一个中央多层楼梯连接着房子的内部空间,而室外门廊、阳台和露台则充分利用了全景河景,同时创造了与邻居的隐私。

A central multistory stair connects the house’s interior spaces, and outdoor porches, balconies, and terraces make the most of panoramic river views while creating privacy from neighbors.
