这座私人住宅位于新斯科舍省Seabright的沿海小社区，由Peter Braithwaite Studio设计建造，俯瞰风景如画的湖泊和潺潺的小溪。全景式的生活区为人们提供了一种独特的体验，让人们感受到大自然的前景，并从新斯科舍省恶劣的气候中得到庇护。形式通过使用当地的新斯科舍粗锯铁杉来衔接隐私区域。
Located in the small coastal community of Seabright, Nova Scotia, this private residence, designed and built by Peter Braithwaite Studio, overlooks a picturesque lake and babbling brook. The panoramic living area provides a unique experience of the prospect of nature and refuge from the harsh Nova Scotian climate. The form articulates areas of privacy through the use of locally sourced Nova Scotian rough sawn hemlock.
拱形的起居室和厨房区域坐落在两个垂直覆盖的卧室之间。水平和垂直的覆层在建筑的外部衔接了这种关系。在新斯科舍省丰富的木质建筑文化的基础上，1000平方英尺的房屋面积使得结构和屋顶完全由木材建造。
The vaulted living and kitchen areas nest between the two vertically clad bedrooms. The horizontal and vertical cladding articulates this relationship on the exterior of the building. Building upon Nova Scotia’s rich wood building culture, the modest 1000 sq. ft size of the house allows for the structure and roof to be built entirely of wood.
Seabright住宅的内部规划是对效率和利用光线和视线来扩大空间的一种练习。大厅向东打开，有一面面向湖面的窗墙，早晨的光线充斥着餐厅和起居区。战略性的西向神龛窗在下午洗刷着拱形天花板，为厨房和盥洗室提供额外的照明。
Planning the interior of the Seabright Residence was an exercise of efficiency and using light and sightlines to expand the space. The great room opens to the East with a window wall that faces the lake, flooding the dining and living areas with light in the morning. Strategic West-facing clerestory windows wash the vaulted ceiling in the afternoon, providing additional lighting for the kitchen and washroom.
一条中央走廊贯穿整个房屋，最大限度地提高了空间和运动的效率，就像一条脊柱，组织着建筑的内部结构。最后，极简主义的装修策略创造了一个明亮而中性的画廊式氛围，引导了焦点，框定了外部景观。最终的结果是一个高效而紧凑的空间，向外关注自然。
A central hallway runs the full length of the house to maximize the efficiency of space and movement, like a spine that organizes the building’s interior. Lastly, the minimalistic finish strategy creates a bright and neutral gallery-like atmosphere that directs focus and frames exterior views. The end result is an efficient and compact space that is outwardly focused on nature.
