玛法套房是在德克萨斯州玛法的一个现有的单卧室土坯房的一个独立的附加物。该套房被设想为一个休息室、艺术工作室，以及当客人访问这个偏远的小镇时，业主的避难所，供他们长期居住。这个低维护的土质结构主要由压缩土块制成，提供了一个温暖的氛围，并直接向存在于美国墨西哥边境、北美大西南地区和业主现有住宅的历史土坯结构点头。
The Marfa Suite is a detached addition to an existing single bedroom adobe home in Marfa, Texas. The suite is conceived as a lounge, art studio, and refuge for the owners to stay when guests visit the remote town for extended stays. The low-maintenance earthen structure is made primarily from compressed earth block that provides a warm atmosphere and is a direct nod to the historical vernacular adobe structures that exist along the US Mexico border, the greater North American Southwest region, and the owners existing home.
该项目的灵感来自于德克萨斯州西部高地沙漠的景观和自然光，以及当地的土坯结构，还有该地区历史建筑所具有的诗意的实用主义。该项目的选址是对该地产的特点和产品的关键方面的回应；主要是保护观景台和既定的沙漠花园。该套房是一个单一的36英尺的正方形计划，有16英尺高的围墙。
The project is inspired by the landscape and natural light of the high desert of far west Texas and from the local vernacular adobe structures, and the poetic pragmatism that historic buildings possess in the area. The project siting is a response to critical aspects of the property's characteristics and offerings; mostly the preservation of the viewsheds and established desert gardens. The suite is a single 36' square plan with 16' high perimeter walls.
一个小的前庭提供了一个踢掉靴子的时刻，并提供了一个从主屋进入的视觉上的私人空间。虽然小，但这个过渡空间提供了神圣的黑暗和阴影，在进入时灌输了一种平静和过渡的感觉。一旦进入，所有的内部隔墙都是相同的压缩土块材料。东边的大拉门将生活和工作休息室与外面的景观连接起来。
A small vestibule offers a moment to kick off one's boots and provides a visually private entry from the main house. While small, this transition space provides sacred darkness and shadows to instill a sense of calm and transition upon entry. Once inside, all of the interior partition walls are the same compressed earth block material. Large sliders on the east connect the living and work lounge to the landscape beyond.
生活空间接受清晨的光线，为用户提供了一个吸收西德克萨斯广阔天空的地方，并观察该地区神奇的光线质量对景观和干草堆山的冲刷。一张18英尺长的实心橡木书桌有两个工作空间，共享北面奇瓦瓦沙漠花园的如画美景。南面的推拉门将卧室与索托尔和菜园连接起来。西面的大窗户提供了仙人掌和介壳虫花园的亲密景象，并以原来住宅的石膏墙为背景。
The living space receives early morning light and offers a place for the user to absorb the expansive West Texas sky and observe the magical light qualities of the area wash over the landscape and haystack mountains. An 18’ long solid oak desk with two working spaces shares a picturesque view of the Chihuahuan desert garden to the north. Sliding doors open on the south and connect the bedroom with the Sotol and vegetable gardens. A large window to the west offers intimately framed views of the cacti and mesquite garden and the plastered wall of the original home as a backdrop.
浴室是开放和亲切的，同时在需要时提供隐私和水隔离。从浴室出来，一扇玻璃门向东打开，进入一个私人的户外淋浴花园。淋浴花园向南延伸，并与浴缸和淋浴区外南面的郁郁葱葱的菜园相连接。辐射地板为空间供暖，而所有的门窗都利用盛行的微风，通过结构促进自然通风，帮助冷却。
The bathroom is open and gracious while offering privacy and water isolation where needed. From the bathroom, a glazed door opens to the east and into a private outdoor showering garden. The shower garden extends south and connects to the lush green vegetable garden just outside of the tub and shower area to the south. Radiant floors heat the spaces, while all the doors and windows harness prevailing breezes and promote natural ventilation through the structure to help cool it.
可操作的天窗允许自然排热。床头的天窗足够大，可以看到该地区壮观的星空。该套房已成为一个平静而舒适的系列空间，具有独特的光线特征和情绪，供业主生活和工作。
Operable skylights allow for natural heat exhaust. The skylight above the bed is large enough to offer views of the region's dramatic starry skies. The suite has become a calm and comfortable series of spaces with unique light characteristics and moods for the owners to live and work.
