位于魁北克省美国边境附近的东部城镇的美丽地区，Slender House住宅以一个长长的线性体量展开。它坐落在Memphremagog湖的陡峭岸边，向一个宁静的僻静海湾开放。
Located in the beautiful region of the Eastern Townships near the US border in Quebec, the Slender House Residence unfolds in a long linear volume. Nestled on the steep shores of Lake Memphremagog it opens-up onto a peaceful secluded bay.
岩石上的刀锋
这座4500平方英尺的住宅被牢固地固定在岩石上，这要归功于其众多的石头挡墙和铺设的梯田。巨大的干堆，当地提供的花岗岩体积作为基础，上面有一个令人印象深刻的111英尺长的屋顶，有黑色的尖锐边缘。从街上看，屋顶实际上成为第五个门面。
A Blade on the Rock
This 4500-square-foot residence is solidly anchored in the rock thanks to its numerous stone retaining walls and paved terraces. Massive dry stacked, locally supplied granite volumes serve as bases on which rests an impressive 111 feet long roof with bladelike sharp edges. From the street, the roof literally becomes a fifth facade.
精确的细节设计使其与黑色的木质外墙无缝对接，一个大的车库门位于巨大的石头体之间。这种谨慎而迷人的方法给我们的印象是，在一个悬空的花园和房子之间沉入地面。当人们沿着这些黑暗而巨大的外墙走向主通道院子时，一个巨大的玻璃窗标志着入口，从这里可以立即看到湖面的景色。朴素和粗糙的外观与房子的巨大、明亮和通风的内部形成对比。
Precisely detailed to fit seamlessly within the black wooden exterior walls, a large garage door sits between the massive stone volumes. The discreet and fascinating approach gives us the impression of sinking into the ground between a hanging garden and the house. As one makes his way along these dark and massive facades towards the main access courtyard, a huge glass bay window marks the entrance from which a view of the lake is immediately revealed. The austere and rough appearance of the exterior stands in contrast with the very large, bright and airy interiors of the house.
巨大而明亮
巨大的窗台、天窗和完美无瑕的白墙，使空间充斥着光线，并提供令人惊叹的湖景。天花板有时会达到25英尺高，以扩大这些生活空间的规模。纤夫之家所有的房间都被定位为形成一个单一的线性行。除了主人的套房外，两间带全浴室的高端套房和相邻的小休息室、一间桑拿房和一间培训室构成了这个豪华住宅的程序。一条连接主入口和底层入口的服务走廊，同时也是车库的入口，可以通往一个小的盥洗室、洗衣房和储藏室，通过一个暗门连接到厨房。
Vast and bright
Large bay-windows, skylights and immaculate white walls literally flood the space with light and offer breathtaking views of the lake. At times reaching 25 feet high, ceilings stretch to augment the amplitude of these living spaces. All the rooms of the Slender house are positioned to form one single linear row. In addition to the master’s suite, two high-end suites with full bathrooms and small adjoining lounge, a sauna and a training room compose the program of this luxurious house. A service corridor that connects the main entrance to the ground-floor entrance doubles as the entrance to the garage and gives access to a small washroom, laundry room and pantry that connects to the kitchen through a secret door.
厨房和隐藏着电视的壁炉的内置家具被设计到最小的细节，以掩盖所有的技术层面。
厨房的白色被揭示为墙壁和天花板的延伸，而岛是由覆盖着大块白橡木叶片的地板延伸而来。
The kitchen and the built-in furniture of the fireplace that conceals the television were designed down to the smallest detail to mask all the technical aspects.
The whiteness of the kitchen is revealed as an extension of the walls and ceilings while the island is born from the extension of the floors that are covered in large blades of white oak.
轻盈的感觉
不愧是大型酒店，细节的细微之处、材料的丰富性和线条的控制都散发着这种舒缓的轻盈感。使用与住宅相同的材料，湖边的船屋还提供了一个额外的小厨房和一个壮丽的屋顶露台来欣赏日落。
A feeling of lightness
Worthy of the big hotels, the minutia of the details, the richness of the materials and the control of the lines exude this soothing feeling of lightness. Using the same material as the residence, a boathouse on the lake also offers an extra kitchenette and a magnificent roof terrace to enjoy the sunsets.
将住宅设置在如此陡峭的地面上，需要建造大量的挡土墙，为开发悬空花园提供了绝佳的机会。傍晚时分，在灯光的照耀下，这层层叠叠的植被从内部被完全欣赏到，让人陶醉其中。纤细的房子是对20世纪60年代平房的当代重新诠释，将传统与优雅进行了切割。
Setting the residence on such a steep ground necessitated the construction of numerous retaining walls offering a great opportunity to develop hanging gardens. Illuminated in the evening, this cascade of vegetation is fully appreciated from the inside and enchants the place. The Slender house comes as a contemporary reinterpretation of the Bungalow of the 1960s slicing tradition with elegance.
