位于惠德比岛农村的Smuggler's Cove附近，一个多代人组成的当地大家庭在现有的家庭农场上寻求一个新的家园和休闲场所。出于对位于该地的世纪之交的农业建筑的尊重，该住宅隐藏在森林茂密的山坡边缘，俯瞰着鸡和牛棚、老农舍、牛场和下面的渔池。从山谷中看去，这栋房子显得刻意谦逊，对下面农田保持一个谦逊的姿态。这座房子被设计成既是一个成长中的家庭的休闲场所，也是他们的兼职住所，他们在岛上的根基可以追溯到几代人。为了夏季烧烤、钓鱼休闲和家庭聚会，房子被设计成灵活耐用，并反映出该地和家庭本身的多层历史住宅与农场。虽然设计上只适合两个人居住，但房子也被设计成可以舒适地容纳20人，有4个全尺寸的卧室和一个紧凑的双层床，有6张大床，供众多亲戚和客人使用。

Located on rural Whidbey Island near Smuggler’s Cove, a large multi-generational local family sought a new home and retreat on the site of their existing family farm. Out of respect for turn-of-the-century agricultural buildings located on the site, the home tucks into the edge of a densely forested hillside, overlooking chicken and cattle barns, an old farmhouse, cattle fields and a fishing pond below. The house appears intentionally modest and humble from the valley, deferential to the pastoral farm lands below. The house was designed as both retreat and part-time residence for a growing family with strong local roots going back several generations on the Island. Intended for summer BBQs, fishing retreats, and family gatherings, the house was designed to be flexible and durable, and reflect the layered history both of the site and of the family itself. While designed to be comfortable for just two, the house was designed to also accommodate up to 20 people comfortably, with four full sized bedrooms and a compact bunkhouse with six queen size beds for the many grandchildren and guests.

住宅被分解成离散的、适度大小的体量，精心地编织在大型花旗松和马德罗纳树之间，环绕着一个由天然草、蕨类和针叶树组成的庭院。由当地玄武岩石砌成的矮墙组织了体量，巧妙地定义了庭院的周长。庭院成为不同体量之间的视觉和物理联系，提供通道和连接，但在需要时提供分离和撤退。通往住宅的粗糙砾石路径蜿蜒穿过浓密和黑暗的常青树，通向住宅，可以看到庭院和树木的层次感。在业主的要求下，在设计和施工过程中，高度的关注和努力将对树木的保护置于施工之上。所需的小树桩被小心地储存在场地上，用作农场的木材、牲畜围栏和两个室内壁炉和草地边缘新火坑的季节性柴火。

The program of the home is broken down into discrete, modestly sized volumes, carefully woven between an array of large Douglas Fir and Madrona trees, wrapped around a courtyard of natural grasses, ferns, and conifers. A low wall of stacked local Basalt stone organizes the volumes and subtly defines the perimeter of the courtyard. The courtyard becomes the visual and physical link between the different volumes, providing access and connection, but offering separation and retreat when desired. The rustic gravel approach to the house meanders through the dense and dark evergreens, opening to the house and layered views of the courtyard and trees. At the owner’s request, intense care and effort during design and construction placed the protection of the trees over construction expediency. What little treefall required was carefully stored on the site, and is being used as lumber for the farm, cattle fencing and seasonal firewood for the two interior fireplaces and the new fire pit at the edge of the meadow.

室内的几扇门是由坚实的雪松板雕刻而成，是几十年前由年轻的家庭族长制作的，他是一位医生，为了治疗病人耗尽了一生的心血，在家庭的过去和现在之间注入有意义的联系，每一层都有一个强烈的项目意图。新的实心木板雪松主卧室门被设计为业主未来的雕刻项目，在他的工作时间，清理灌木，并在下面的草地上饲养有机牛。自然风化的木材、混凝土、当地采石场的石墙、深橡木窗柱、软灰泥墙和黑钢的突出特点，使房子力求温暖、质朴而又简单、干净和开放——这是一个尊重当地森林和农业遗产的房子。

Several of the interior doors are carved solid cedar slabs crafted decades ago by the family patriarch as a young doctor filling his time in-between patients, instilling a meaningful connection between the family’s past and present, a strong intent of the project at every layer. The new solid plank cedar master bedroom door is designed as a future carving project for the owner, in between his days working the land, clearing brush, and raising organic cattle in the meadow below. With a palette of naturally weathered woods, concrete, locally quarried stone walls, deep oak window jambs, soft plaster walls, and black steel accents, the house strives to be warm and rustic yet simple, clean, and open - a house that honors both the forest and agricultural heritage of the site.
