这座1500平方英尺的房子位于华盛顿港半岛上一个朝东的陡峭斜坡上。它是43个紧密相邻的住宅之一,这些住宅组成了一个合作社,正式的平房殖民地,80年前是为当地的沙石坑的工人建立的棚屋,然而,最近,随着房地产价值的上升,绝佳的位置,优质的学校,以及直达曼哈顿的火车线路,这些平房被购买,拆毁,取而代之的是现代的斗篷和盐箱,有突出的甲板,危险的楼梯,以及无视山坡的状况。

This 1500 sq.ft. home is located on an east facing steep slope on the Port Washington peninsula. It is one of 43 closely spaced homes which comprise a co-op, formally a bungalow colony, established 80 years ago as squatter shacks for workers at the local sand and gravel pit, however; recently, with the rise in property values, wonderful location, quality schools, and a direct train line into Manhattan, the bungalows were purchased, torn down and replaced with contemporary capes and salt boxes with projecting decks, dangerous stairs and a disregard for the state of the hillside.

我们的客户希望建造一个尊重山坡的结构。建筑困难包括当地法规限制房屋面积为1500平方英尺(加上750平方英尺的地窖),以及房屋之间不小于5英尺。考虑到北边的房子很近,而且山势陡峭,有必要自上而下设计房子。主体结构被设想为一系列的垫板,这些垫板从交错的挡土墙上伸出,减少了山顶上的位置。不需要进一步保留山体,所有原有的稳定植被都被保留下来。

Our client’s desired to build a structure which respected the slope. Building difficulties included the local codes restricting home size to 1500 sq.ft,(plus up to a 750 sq ft cellar), and no less than 5’ between homes. Given the proximity of a home to the north and steepness of the hill, it was necessary to design the house top down. The main structure is conceived as a series of mat slabs which project off of staggered retaining walls, which reduce the locality on the hilltop. No further retaining of the hill was required, and all the original stabilizing vegetation was maintained.

框架是基于一个钢制的上层结构,以支持积极的悬臂和工程木材的填充。

The framing is based on a steel superstructure to support the aggressive cantilevers with engineer lumber infill.

L型平面配置的设计是为了创造与近邻的隐私。从半山路到达的主层是一个大型的开放式家庭空间,用于烹饪、用餐和休息。主楼梯将计划一分为二,将客户带到卧室层,垂直的楼梯继续向下,进入走出去的地窖,里面有一间卧室、家庭办公室、洗衣房、娱乐区和机械室。这个区域的绿色屋顶被用作露台,可以从卧室层进入需要帮助吗?下面你可以找到一些问题来帮助你描述你的项目。

The L plan configuration was designed to create privacy from the close neighbors. The main level, reached from a mid hill road, is a large open family space for cooking, eating and lounging. The main stair bisects the plan taking the clients down to the bedroom level, and the perpendicular stair continues down into the walkout cellar which contains a bedroom, home office, laundry, recreation area, and mechanical room. The green roof over this area is utilized as a terrace, accessed from the bedroom levelNeed Help? Below you can find some questions to help you describe your project..
