山屋是一个现代的全年避难所，位于一个树木茂盛的山坡上。房子作为一个门槛，标志着从树木到起伏的田野的过渡，延伸到远处的海滨。由于它位于自然保护区和受保护的湿地上，我们非常注意设计一个尊重其位置的房屋。客户是谢尔特岛自然保护协会的受托人，他要求设计的住宅能够敏感地与场地融为一体，为家庭提供亲密的空间，并有一个大型的户外活动空间供人娱乐。
The Hill House is a modern year-round refuge located on a wooded hillside. The house, acting as a threshold, marks the transition from trees to rolling fields that extend to the distant waterfront. Because it is situated on a nature preserve and protected wetlands, great care was taken to design a home reverential to its location. The client, a trustee of the Shelter Island Nature Conservancy, requested a home that was sensitively knit into the site with intimate spaces for the family and a large outdoor event space for entertaining.
一系列的石头挡墙在景观中形成了阶梯状的梯田。两个盘旋的雪松包覆的盒子被一个多用途的屋顶平台连接起来，遮蔽了下面的内部和外部公共空间，并容纳了项目的私人部分。这两个 "亭子 "漂浮在由玻璃制成的非物质化的第一层上，使场地保持不受干扰。房子是森林和草地之间的调解人。
A series of stone retaining walls form stepped terraces in the landscape. Two hovering cedar-clad boxes linked by a multi-purpose roof deck, shelter the interior and exterior public spaces below, and house the private components of the program. These two “pavilions” float over a dematerialized first floor made of glass that allows the site to remain uninterrupted. The house is a mediator between forest and meadow.
房主积极参加岛上的土地信托基金，并喜欢在户外度过时光。这对夫妇要求为养蜂、鸡舍和温室提供空间。这座房子包括一个绿色屋顶和异地景观，由于谢尔特岛的限制，本地植物不需要灌溉。这座房子在私人生活和活跃的户外生活之间有一种内在的双重性。设计团队的灵感来自于广阔的林地，这成为房子的设计、材料、程序和形式中不断重复出现的元素。
The homeowners, are actively involved with the Island’s land trust and enjoy spending time outdoors. The couple requested space for beekeeping, a chicken coop, and greenhouse. The house includes a green roof and xeriscape landscaping with native plants that do not require irrigation due to restrictions on Shelter Island. The House has an inherent duality between private living and active, outdoor living. The design team was inspired by the extensive woodland site, which became a constantly reoccurring element seen in the house’s design, material, program, and form.
