这个空间位于一个密集的沿海林地,俯瞰宜人湾和大西洋的戏剧性虚张声势。砾石驱动器穿过林地,轻轻地向下倾斜,以达到一个开放的草地上滚动的草甸点缀着美国霍莉,东部红雪松和遗产垂柳。房子,breezeway和附属建筑被精心安排与起伏的景观上升和下降。沿着小道,路径通向一组草和花岗岩的步骤,强调了房子的自然地形。主要的房子位于物业的高点,并有一个长长的石头露台,沿海边延伸,以捕捉水景,并受益于南部曝光。露台由一个浇筑的混凝土墙定义,该墙轻轻地从东到西逐步跟随现有的坡度。为了统一项目,在内部和外部空间中使用相同的材料。嵌入在露台内的是反射盆,其流入沿着墙壁移动的通道,并且充满从下面的海滩的发现填充的盆地。
This site is situated in a dense coastal woodland on a dramatic bluff overlooking Pleasant Bay and the Atlantic Ocean. The gravel drive weaves through the woodland and gently slopes down to arrive at an open landscape of rolling meadow dotted with groves of American Holly, Eastern Red Cedar, and a heritage Weeping Willow. The house, breezeway, and outbuildings are carefully sited to rise and fall with the undulating landscape. Following the breezeway, a path leads to a set of grass and granite steps that emphasize the natural topography at the house. The main house is sited at the high point of the property and incorporates a long stone terrace extending along the oceanside to capture water views and benefit from on southern exposure. The terrace is defined by a poured concrete wall that gently steps from east to west to follow existing grade. To unify the project, the same materials are used both within the interior and exterior spaces. Embedded within the terrace is a reflecting basin that spills into a runnel that moves along the wall and empties into a basin filled with findings from the beach below.
