史密斯之家是位于新斯科舍省大西洋海岸的度假屋，毗邻建筑师的农场（Shobac）。这座住宅由三座亭子组成，占地两英亩，从东边的盐池到西边大胆的海滨都有。这个小半岛在历史上支持了一个近海渔港。

Smith House is a vacation home located on the Atlantic coast of Nova Scotia, adjacent to the architect’s farm (Shobac). The home consists of three pavilions on a two-acre site spanning from a salt pond on the east to a bold oceanfront on the west. This small peninsula historically supported an inshore fishing port.

这是一个原城市项目，与建筑师设计的其他房屋一起，在旧渔村遗址上形成一个村庄。重建后的村庄是密集的，需要仔细处理每栋建筑之间的景观，以优化社区和隐私。多个庭院被框定在结构之间，创造出微气候，既能抓住阳光，又能阻挡风，遵循季节和日常居住仪式。

This is a proto-urban project, forming a village, together with other houses designed by the architect, on the old fishing village site. The reconstituted village is dense, requiring careful handling of views both from and to each building, in order to optimize community and privacy. Multiple courtyards are framed between the structures, creating micro-climates that both catch the sun and block the wind, following the seasons and daily rituals of dwelling.

村庄由简单的拱形屋顶形式精心组合而成，产生的效果大于各部分的总和。虽然这些传统的形式与当地的乡土建筑相呼应，但通过其覆层、围墙和极简主义的细节设计，使其绝对现代。这座房子坐落在一个石制的卫城上，就像一个废墟，由Corten钢板屋顶保护。石头基座由当地的花岗岩建造而成，在15000多年前的最后一个冰河时代，冰川退缩带来了这里。深具地方特色，也是附近所有历史遗迹建设的传统手工劈裂的基础材料。

The village is created by the careful aggregation of simple gable-roofed forms, producing an effect that is greater than the sum of its parts. While these traditional forms echo local vernacular buildings, they are made absolutely modern through their cladding, fenestration and minimalist detailing. The house is perched on a stone acropolis, like a ruin, protected by Corten steel plate roofs. The stone plinth is constructed of local granite, brought to the place by retreating glaciers during the last ice age, over 15,000 years ago. Deeply local, it is also the foundation material traditionally hand-split for the construction of all of the nearby historic ruins.

景观队伍向项目进发时，首先要获得一个山顶俯瞰村庄的机会。然后，队伍被一对重建的历史建筑所夹击。然后，道路被农用围栏框住。然后，经过工程下方的花岗岩挡土墙。然后，人们绕着门楼的棚子转了一圈。然后，在棚子和亭子之间，向着Shobac校园的方向眺望。然后，人们沿着一条巨大的花岗岩楼梯蜿蜒而上，挤在日亭和夜亭之间。然后，人们来到花岗岩基座上，将远处灯塔的景色定格。最后，游客进入日亭的压缩门厅。

The landscape procession toward the project begins on gaining a hilltop overlook of the village on arrival. Then, the procession is pinched by a pair of reconstructed historic buildings. Then, the road is framed by agricultural fences. Then, one passes by a granite retaining wall below the project. Then, one swing around the gatehouse shed. Then, between the shed and pavilions, a view is framed back toward the Shobac Campus. Then, one winds up a monumental granite stair, squeezing between the day and night pavilions. Then, one arrives on the granite plinth, framing a view to a distant lighthouse. Finally, the visitor enters the compressed foyer of the day pavilion.

当我们的世界如此多的东西都在变化的时候，这是一个关于永恒的原型，而不是新奇或时尚的项目。它与其说是关于自身，不如说是关于它周围培育的景观。 史密斯之家》更多的是解决，而不是新奇；更多的是 “好”，而不是 “新”。它是四十年来形成的一种工作体例或建筑语言的成熟表达。这个项目真正开始于1994年，当时建筑师和他的一群学生建造了第一个Ghost项目，作为一个半透明的帐篷，覆盖在一个400年历史的花岗岩废墟上，毗邻新的史密斯之家。2016年，建筑师对那片废墟进行了理想化的 “复原”，作为一个下沉式的天空空间，用于餐饮。史密斯夫妇最初的要求是，房子的设计要参考当地那座历史悠久的废墟。

At a time when so much of our world is in flux, this is a project that is about timeless archetypes, rather than novelty or fashion. It is less about itself than it is about the landscape cultivated around it. Smith House is more about resolution than a novelty; more about being ‘good’ than being ‘new’. It is a mature expression of a body-of-work, or architectural language, developed over forty years. This project really began in 1994, when the architect and a group of his students constructed the first Ghost project, as a translucent tent over a 400-year-old granite ruin adjacent to the new Smith House. In 2016 the architect made an idealized ‘restoration’ of that ruin, as a sunken skyspace for dining. The Smiths’ initial request was for a house design that referred to that local, historic ruin.
