该住宅位于纽约州的Millerton,坐落于一片30英亩的森林之中。场地的主要特征是位于最高海拔处的山脊和下方15英尺处的大片草地。这片草地被树林环绕,从这里向西远眺,Catskill山脉尽收眼底。东面的山脊遍布野花和岩石覆盖。通往住宅的道路蜿蜒曲折,车道沿着陡峭的东部边缘攀爬,终点位于山脊顶端。除了主宅以外,设计导则还包括一间客房和泳池。
The home is situated on a 30 acre wooded parcel in the town of Millerton, New York. The site’s defining features are a ridge at the property’s highest elevation and a large meadow 15’ below. The meadow is ringed by trees and has long, westerly views out to the Catskill Mountains. The ridge to the east is dotted with wild-flowers and rocky outcroppings. Access to the house is via a winding driveway that climbs the steep eastern edge of the site and terminates at the top of the ridge. In addition to the main home, the design brief also called for a guest house and pool.

在项目一开始,设计决定将房屋建在较低的草地上,并沿山脊的基线布置,避免要砍伐现存的树木。这也保护住宅在较高的地势上免受到盛行风和景观的影响,为住宅提供了一个静谧、与世隔绝的环境。
At the outset of the project, the determination was made to locate the house at the lower meadow level and along the baseline of the ridge, eliminating the need to clear existing trees. This shielded the building from prevailing winds and views at the higher arrival elevation, providing a serene and secluded environment for the home.

根据住宅的区位,从山脊的下坡一侧夷平了一块 20 英尺宽 x 100 英尺长的相邻地段。通过现场浇筑的混凝土墙挖掘出的区域保留下来,在房屋和山脊之间形成一个平坦的垫层。该区域作为作为一个私密的室外空间和前庭,提供了和住宅西侧的开放草地形成鲜明对比。

With the house positioned, a 20′ wide x 100′ long adjacent section of land was removed from the downslope side of the ridge. The excavated area was then retained by a cast-in place concrete wall, creating a flat pad between the house and the ridge. This space functions as an intimate outdoor room and forecourt, offering a contrasting experience to the wide-open meadow setting to the building’s west.

为了强调场地的颜色和纹理,主宅和客房被设计成黑色的山墙式结构。这也通过整合立面材料来实现,建筑的立面和屋顶饰面层也装饰有相同的黑色波纹金属板。波纹的纹路也给予外观一种微妙的质感。屋顶的开放屋檐采用了涂有黑色涂料的檐上瓦片,增添了一层细节和住宅的韵律。贯穿住宅的大跨度玻璃窗提供了景观视野,为建筑简单的谷仓式外形增添了视觉趣味和深度。
To foreground the colors and textures of the site, the home and guest house were developed as muted, black gable-shaped structures. This was achieved by taking a totalized approach to the exterior materials, cladding the buildings’ facades and roof surfaces in the same black corrugated metal. The waves of corrugation give subtle texture to the forms. Open eaves at the roof express black painted rafter tails, supplying another layer of detail and rhythm to the project. Large expanses of glass offer views through the house to the landscape beyond, adding visual interest and depth to the building’s simple barn-like shape.

从方向上来看,住宅与山脊平行,最大化地利用了朝东面和朝西面的视野。入口门厅位于平面中心,在北侧的两间主卧和南侧的公共空间创造了缓冲区。另两间较小的卧室位于住宅的南侧。

Orientation wise, the long exposures of the home run parallel to the ridge, maximizing opportunities for views out to the east and west. The entrance hall is centrally located in plan and creates a buffer between two primary bedrooms at the north end of the building and the communal spaces to the south. Two smaller bedrooms bookend the southern side of the house.

这些木制品划分了公共区域和私人区域,也是房屋的重要组成部分。每一块都在高度、比例和材质上有些微的不同。它们的功能包括:容纳阁楼的楼梯,围合客厅的壁炉,厨房的橱柜空间和隐藏厨房用具。厨房橱柜和壁炉砌块采用了现浇混凝土构件,具有耐久性和阻燃性。除了木质家具,室内色调由白色墙壁和天花板,灰色混凝土地板和深铜色铝制移动门框组成。
The blocks establish boundaries between public and private zones and contain essential components of the house. Each has a slightly different character in terms of their height, proportion, and materiality. Their functions are: housing the attic stair, enclosing the living room fireplace, providing kitchen counter surfaces, and concealing the kitchen appliances. The kitchen counter and fireplace blocks incorporate cast-in place concrete elements for their durability and fire retardant properties. In addition to the wood clad millwork, the interior palette is composed of white walls and ceilings, gray concrete floors, and dark bronze aluminum sliding door frames.

为了增强住宅的空间多样性,客厅的天花板、厨房和餐厅都拥有折线拱顶,而更私人的房间的天花板则高度更低。拱顶的边缘和最高点被柔化成柔和的曲线,漫射到拱顶表面的光线,使拱顶呈现出云朵般的外观。在公共区域的另一侧是两扇宽16英寸的滑动玻璃门,提供流线的通道和面向西侧草地和东侧山脊的沉浸视野。泳池和客房位于草地,同时室外餐厅坐落于住宅和山脊之间。
To add variation to spaces within the home, the ceiling above the living, kitchen and dining room has been given a gable-shaped vault, while the private rooms have more intimate ceiling heights. The vault’s eaves and peak are softened into gentle curves, diffusing the light spilling onto its surfaces, giving it a cloud-like appearance. On either side of the common areas are two 16’ wide banks of sliding glass doors, providing access and immersive views of the meadow to the west and the ridge to the east. The pool and guest house are located in the meadow, while an outdoor dining space is situated between the house and the ridge.
