4 Springs Lane别墅

起伏的地形、开阔的田野和林地构成了弗吉尼亚州拉帕汉诺克县一块24英亩的土地，这栋新房子就坐落在这里。房子被安置在高高的山丘上，俯瞰林地底部的草地，建筑被组织成一系列的体量，线性排列，能在此蓝岭山脉的远景。

Rolling topography, open fields and woodlands comprise a 24 acre site in Rappahannock County, Virginia where this new house is located. Extensive site investigation, including erecting scaffolding at various locations, resulted in the placement of the house high on one of the hills, overlooking a meadow at the base of woodlands.  The house is organized as a series of volumes, arranged linearly and positioned to optimize distant views of the Blue Ridge Mountains.  

结构本身成为一个屏障，在房子和森林边缘之间定义了一个更亲密、更有修养的户外环境。线性组织让大部分空间保持山景，同时提供通往露台与游泳池和修剪区的通道。两层楼高的起居/餐饮空间两端都有落地玻璃，提供了一个从露台眺望山景的视野。

The structure itself becomes a threshold and defines a more intimate, manicured outdoor environment between the house and the edge of the forest. The linear organization allows the majority of spaces to maintain mountain views while providing accessibility to a terrace with the swimming pool and the manicured area. The two-story living / dining space has floor-to-ceiling glass at each end, providing a lens through which to view the mountains from the terrace.

建筑的严谨、精致和几何形状的设计与起伏的自然景观形成了强烈的对比。 这种对比旨在放大场地的美感，同时让房子提供一个框架来观赏风景。这些景观成为定位的手段。由玻璃、木材、石材和纤维水泥板组成的简单体量被结合起来，呈现出更复杂的构图，同时获得了一个宁静的统一。

The rigorous, refined and geometric forms of the building are designed in sharp contrast to the undulating, natural landscape.  The contrast is intended to magnify the beauty of the site while allowing the house to provide a framework to view the landscape. These views become the orienting device. Simple volumes comprised of glass, wood, stone and fiber cement panels are combined to render a more complex composition while garnering a serene unity.

室内空间活跃而复杂，宁静而简约。 四面八方的视野，大面积的玻璃让景观视野成为主要的感官体验。

Interior spaces are active and intricate, tranquil and minimal.  With vistas in all directions, large expanses of glass allow the landscape views to provide the primary sensory experience.

为了减少化石燃料的消耗，采用了地热暖通空调系统、节能电器、墙体和天花板基础设施以及最大限度的隔热性能、雨幕覆层系统、大量的日光照明和太阳能感应窗帘。 大面积的可开启门窗提供了自然通风。

A geothermal HVAC system, energy efficient appliances, wall and ceiling infrastructure with maximum insulation, a rain-screen cladding system, extensive daylighting and solar-sensored shades are employed with the expectation of reducing fossil fuel consumption.  Large operable windows and doors are placed to provide natural ventilation

建筑是朴素的，比例、质地和光照元素组织了这个项目并使其充满活力，但构图同时是复杂的，也是精炼的。最重要的是，这栋房子提供了一个框架，让人们体验到固有的美丽景观。

This house is pragmatic and pristine. Proportion, texture and light organize and animate the project. The composition is simultaneously complex and distilled. Most importantly, the house provides a framework to experience an inherently beautiful landscape.
