坐落在惠德比岛的一个乡村场地上，一个当地家庭在他们的家庭农场的场地上寻找一个新的家和休闲场所。出于对位于该地的世纪之交的农业建筑的尊重，这栋房子坐落在森林茂密的山坡边缘，俯瞰着鸡棚、一个饱经风霜的红色谷仓、牛场和一个渔池。从山谷中看去，这栋房子显得刻意谦虚和卑微，对下面的牧区农田很是恭敬。这座房子被设计成既是一个成长中的家庭的休闲场所，也是他们的兼职住所，他们在岛上的根基可以追溯到几代人。为了夏季烧烤、钓鱼休闲和家庭聚会，房子被设计成灵活而耐用，并反映出该地和家庭本身的多层历史。

Located on a rural site on Whidbey Island, a local family sought a new home and retreat on the site of their family farm. Out of respect for turn-of-the-century agricultural buildings located on the site, the home ticks into the edge of a densely forested hillside, overlooking chicken sheds, a weathered red barn, cattle fields, and a fishing pond. The house appears intentionally modest and humble from the valley, deferential to the pastoral farmlands below. The house was designed as both retreat and part-time residence for a growing family with strong local roots going back several generations on the island. Intended for summer BBQs, fishing retreats, and family gatherings, the house was designed to be flexible and durable, and reflect the layered history both of the site and the family itself.

虽然设计为两个人的舒适度，但房子最多可容纳20人，其中有一个四居室的主屋和一个竞争性的上下铺，供众多孙子和客人居住。住宅的程序被分解成离散的、大小适中的体量，小心翼翼地交织在一系列大型花旗松树之间，环绕着一个由自然和本地灌木和蕨类植物组成的庭院。由当地玄武岩石堆砌而成的低矮墙体组织了这些体量，并巧妙地界定了庭院的周边。庭院成为不同体量之间的视觉和物理联系，提供了通道和连接，但在需要时也提供了分离和撤退。

While designed to be comfortable for two, the house accommodates up to 20 people, with a four-bedroom main house and a compete bunkhouse for the many grandchildren and guests. The program of the home is broken down into discrete, modestly sized volumes, carefully woven between an array of large Douglas Fir trees, wrapped around a courtyard of natural and native shrubs and ferns. A low wall of stacked local Basalt stone organizes the volumes and subtly defines the perimeter of the courtyard. the courtyard becomes the visual and physical link between the different volumes, providing access and connection, but offering separation and retreat when desired.

通往房屋的质朴的碎石路蜿蜒在茂密的深色常青树中，向房屋和院落及树木的分层景观开放。在业主的要求下，在设计和施工过程中，强烈的关怀和努力将对树木的保护置于施工的便利性之上。所需的少量树叶被小心翼翼地存放在工地上，现在被用作农场的木材、牛栏杆、壁炉的季节性木柴和草地边缘的新火坑。

The rustic gravel approach to the house meanders through the dense and dark evergreens, opening to the house and layered views of the courtyard and trees. At the owner’s request, intense care and effort during design and construction placed the protection of the trees over construction expediency. What little trefoil required was carefully stored on the site, and is being used as lumber for the farm, cattle fencing, and seasonal firewood fro the fireplace and the new fire pit at the edge of the meadow.

几扇内部的门和墙面艺术都是几十年前由家族族长作为年轻医生在病人之间填补时间而雕刻的实心红柏板，在家族的过去和现在之间灌输了一种有意义的联系。新的实木板红柏主卧室门是作为主人未来的雕刻项目而设计的，在他耕种土地、清理灌木以及在下面的草地上饲养有机牛的间隙。以自然风化的木材、混凝土、当地采石墙、深橡木窗框、独栋石膏墙和黑色钢饰为调色板，房子力求温暖、质朴，但又简单、清晰、开放–这栋房子既尊重森林的永恒性，又尊重该地的农业遗产。

Several of the interiors doors and wall art are carved solid cedar slabs crafted decades ago by the family patriarch as a young doctor filling his time between patients, instilling a meaningful connection between the family’s past and present. The new solid plank cedar master bedroom door is designed as a future carving project for the owner, in between his days working the land, clearing brush, and raising organic cattle in the meadow below. With a palette of naturally weathered woods, concrete, locally quarried stone walls, deep oak window jambs, solo plaster walls, and black steel accents, the house strives to be warm and rustic yet simple, clear, and open—a house that honors both the timelessness of the forest and agricultural heritage of the site.
