房子耸立在杜克森林附近平缓的地形之上，其位置是为了捕捉森林景观，并利用光线和空气的自然韵律。我们的客户非常注重隐私，方案的格式是将到达的时刻与主要生活空间分开。房子在树冠下又低又长，略微高出地面，墙壁和屋顶上的点缀，发挥了森林的景观。折叠的金属表皮遮蔽了房子，在北面提供保护，并向南面开放，以接纳大量的光线。
The house rises above the gentle topography near Duke Forest and is located to capture forest views and take advantage of the natural rhythms of light and air. Our clients are very private, and the program is formatted to separate the moment of arrival from the main living spaces. The house is low and long beneath the tree canopy, slightly lifted above the ground, with punctuations in the walls and roof that play off views of the forest. A folded metal skin shelters the house, providing protection on the north side and opening to the south to admit generous light.
我们的客户是一对非常私密的夫妇，他们希望有一所房子，能够与他们所在地以外的世界分开，并适应他们对立的日常工作。他们的房产被埋在树林中，毗邻杜克森林，向北倾斜。他们通过西端的一条长长的车道到达房子，首先进入一个他们称之为 “锁和核心 “的空间。在这里，他们把钥匙、鞋子、夹克和帽子留下，进入一个长长的廊厅，绕过房子的私人空间，向东通向主要的生活空间。起居室框住了远近的森林景色，并设有一个放置古董施坦威的小区域。在房子的东端，在起居室外，是一个露台，在折叠的金属屋顶下，可以到达森林边缘的几英尺范围。
Our clients are a very private couple who desired a house that would provide separation from the world beyond their site and accommodate their opposing daily routines. Their property is buried in the woods, adjacent to Duke Forest, and slopes north. They arrive at the house via a long drive at the west end and first enter a space they refer to as the “lock and core.” Here, they leave keys, shoes, jackets, and hats behind and enter a long gallery hall that bypasses the private spaces of the house and leads east to the main living spaces. The living room frames views of the forest, near and far, and features a small area for an antique Steinway. At the east end of the house, off the living room, is a deck that reaches to within feet of the forest edge, under the folded metal roof.
这些私人空间是根据他们相反的时间安排的。当她早起时，她离开小卧室，不需要回来就能拥有她所需要的一切来准备一天的工作。当他工作到很晚的时候，他在一个偏远的办公室里工作，这个办公室是隔音的，位于平面图的弯曲处，可以消散声音。房子的形式直接体现了他们对隐私的渴望，他们的时间表，以及场地的最佳方面。
房子是由混凝土和CMU基础上的木质框架建成的。
The private spaces are arranged for their opposing schedules. When she wakes early, she leaves the small bedroom and has all she needs to prepare for the day without returning. When he works late, he does so in a remote office that is sound proofed and located at the bend in the plan to dissipate sound. The format of house is a direct translation of their desire for privacy, their schedules, and the best aspects of the site.
The house is built of a wood frame on a concrete and CMU foundation.
钢被用来实现薄的、悬臂式的屋顶边缘和东面甲板和北面门廊的延伸。整个北墙和屋顶都用立缝金属包裹，颜色选择与周围的森林相融合。五个屋顶显示器伸向树冠的视野。屋顶向南开放，接受光线。建筑围护结构是用喷涂泡沫绝缘材料密封的。密封的地下空间中的板块支撑着机械系统，其中包括用于地热地面循环的泵，带有三个区域的高效热泵，以及能量回收通风。与这些复杂的系统相比，可开启的窗户让房子在舒适的天气里接受微风的吹拂。
Steel is used to achieve thin, cantilevered roof edges and extensions of the east deck and north porch. The entire north wall and roof are wrapped in standing seam metal in a color selected to blend with the surrounding forest. Five roof monitors reach towards views of the tree canopy. The roof opens to the south to admit light. The building envelope is sealed tightly with spray foam insulation. A slab in the sealed crawlspace supports the mechanical systems, which include pumps for the geothermal ground loop, a hi-efficiency heat pump with three zones, and energy recovery ventilation. In contrast to these sophisticated systems, operable windows allow the house to accept a breeze during pleasant weather.
