卡茨基尔森林就在这个位于纽约州伍德斯托克市外山上的泳池屋门前。2,000平方英尺，只有18英尺宽，这个纤细的建筑适合在高耸的树木之间，包含一个60英尺的室内游泳池，水疗浴室，健身室，以及一个有盖的平台，可以下到森林的地面。
The Catskill forest comes right up to the doors of this pool house located in the hills outside of Woodstock, NY. At 2,000 square feet and only 18 feet wide, this slim building fits between the towering trees and contains a 60-foot indoor lap pool, spa bathroom, exercise room, and a covered deck that steps down to the forest floor.
北河的设计理念为业主和客人提供了一个私人的休闲场所，在每一个立面上都用长长的折叠门将建筑与室外连接起来。在寒冷的季节，三层玻璃门使房间保持通风和明亮，同时大大节约了能源。被动式房屋的气密性和绝缘性原则大大减少了保持建筑和游泳池全年舒适所需的能源。
Providing a private retreat for the owner and guests, North River’s design concept opens up the building to the outdoors on every façade with long sets of folding doors. In colder months, triple-pane glass doors keep the rooms airy and bright while significantly conserving energy. Passive House principles of airtightness and insulation substantially reduce the energy required to keep the building and the pool comfortable year-round.
材料的选择是为了它们的耐用性和美观，包括萨皮尔木地板、甲板和天花板、当地采购的石灰石地板和柜台、防水石膏墙、定制的灯具、立缝Galvalume屋顶、以及定制铣削的东部白松护墙板和木材，其中大部分是从建筑工地上精心采摘的，而其他的则高高耸立。
Materials were selected for their durability and beauty, and include Sapele wood flooring, decks and ceilings, locally sourced limestone floors and counters, waterproof plaster walls, custom fabricated light fixtures, standing seam Galvalume roofing, and custom milled Eastern White Pine siding and timbers, most of which was carefully harvested from the building site while leaving others towering above.
