枫山住宅建在五英亩的森林上，具有冰川丘陵和山谷的戏剧线性地形。 建筑计划包括一个新的住宅，谷仓，游泳池，厨房花园，果园和游泳池。 房屋和景观设计同时确保了建筑与周边林地的平衡，但扩大了植被的范围，包括开放草地和湿地。 家庭设想了一个能强化环境伦理的景观，并鼓励对自然环境的探索，参与和认识。 作为回应，设计创造了各种各样的景观空间和栖息地。 这些支持家庭生产食物，主动娱乐的机会，社交聚会和大型家庭活动，以及加强当地的生态系统。

The Maple Hill Residence was built on five-acres of second growth forest with dramatic linear topography of glacial hills and valleys. The building program included a new residence, barn, pool house, kitchen garden, orchard and swimming pool. The house and landscape were designed simultaneously to ensure that the architecture achieved a respectful balance with the surrounding woodland, but expanded the range of vegetation to include open meadow and wetland areas. The family envisioned a landscape that would incorporate their strong environmental ethic, and encourage exploration, engagement and awareness of their natural environment. In response, the design created a wide variety of landscape spaces and habitats. These supported the production of food for the family, opportunities for active recreation, social gatherings and large family events, and the enhancement of their local ecosystem.
