奥林匹亚乡村草原住宅

设计师的任务是建造一个现代的、有预算意识的、宜居的、尊重农村环境的住宅。耶尔姆的住宅是对乡村住宅的现代诠释：通过简洁的线条和精确的设计，使用简单、经济的方法来创造一个温暖、舒适的空间。

The designer’s task was to build a modern, budget-minded home that was livable and respected its rural environment. The Yelm residence is a contemporary take on a country home: using a combination of simple, cost-effective methods to create a warm, comfortable space through clean lines and precise design.

使用最简单的材料色调，即木材和灰泥护墙板，加上金属板的点缀，有助于突出房子所处的10英亩土地的美丽。混凝土砌体单元（CMU）墙框住了入口，一个平坦的屋顶平面盘旋在头顶上，将项目融入草原风格的景观中。该住宅反映了客户的非正式生活方式和与环境的关系，客户是一名平面设计师，钟爱在家里工作，此外她还喜欢包括缝纫、手工项目和园艺。

A minimal exterior material palette of wood and stucco siding with metal panel accents helps to highlight the beauty of the 10 acres of land on which the house rests. Concrete masonry unit (CMU) walls frame the entry and a flat roof plane hovers overhead to ground the project into the prairie style landscape. The home reflects the clients’ informal lifestyle and relationship to the environment. He is a graphic designer who works from home; her hobbies include sewing, craft projects, and gardening.

该住宅面积为2200平方英尺，平面呈L型，这使得主人套房和办公室可以与客房、工艺室和车库分开。中心位置是开放式的客厅、厨房和餐厅。这些房间创造了一个核心空间，宽大的玻璃墙将业主在视觉上和身体上与景观联系起来。通过透明的核心空间，可以看到山麓和树木覆盖的湿地的私人景观，同时还可以看到后院天井附近的鹿和麋鹿。设计中采用了地板辐射采暖、热回收技术和自然通风，简单的楼层规划组织创造了一个亲密和温暖的室内环境。

The home is 2,200 square feet and L-shaped in plan, which allows for the master suite and office to be separated from the guest rooms, craft room and garage. Centrally placed are the open plan living room, kitchen, and dining room. These rooms create a core space with expansive glass walls that connect the owners visually and physically to the landscape. Private views of foothills and tree-covered wetlands are offered through the transparent core, along with sightings of deer and elk near the back patio. Designed with radiant floor heating, heat-recovery technology, and natural ventilation, the simplicity of the floor plan’s organization creates an intimate and warm interior environment.

混凝土砌筑的壁炉与铜色的彩色桦木天花板相搭配，也增加了材料的温暖。空间内的动线被内置的储物长椅激活，成为视觉的焦点，并增加了流行的色彩。高效的规划和整个房子的元素重复有助于降低成本，从而形成一个价格经济的现代住宅，与自然环境相得益彰。

A concrete masonry fireplace paired with the copper-toned, stained birch ceiling also adds material warmth. Circulation through the space is enlivened by built-in storage benches, acting as visual breaks and adding pops of color. Efficient planning and the repetition of elements throughout the house helped to keep costs down, resulting in an economically priced, modern home that compliments its natural environment.
