受客户的委托，TACT Architecture建筑事务所设计了一套平静而优雅的设计。特别注意将该住宅融入这里的自然景观同时保留自然地形地貌。该住宅穴居在东、西两块岩石边缘之间的空地上。位于参天大树之间，这里得益于它们天然的阴凉和隐私，同时保持了森林和乔治亚湾的壮观景色。
Entrusted with the clients’ vision TACT Architecture crafted a calm and elegant design. Particular care was taken to site the home to optimize the landscape’s natural features while preserving the natural topography. The house nestles itself into a clearing between two ridges of rock to the east and west. Set amongst the towering trees the house benefits from their natural shade and privacy while still allowing for spectacular views of the forest and Georgian Bay.
从北面走近房子，可以看见一闪带有小玻璃的绝对低调的建筑门面。一旦进入室内，你就会被建筑最南部的大窗户里所看见的壮丽景色深深打动。这种极简主义风格的室内装潢与周围崎岖的环境交相辉映，更加强了景观的美丽，并使其成为设计的一部分。其简单内敛的材料，石材、木材、混凝土和白色的墙壁构成了此栋房子的元素。
Approaching the house from the north you are presented with a resolutely understated façade with minimal glazing. Once inside the home you are struck by spectacular views from large picture windows that make up most of the southern building face. The minimalist inspired interiors compliment the rugged surroundings enhancing the beauty of the landscape and making it an integral part of the design. The simple restrained material pallet of stone, wood, concrete, and white walls contribute to the elemental feeling of the house.
最终，该设计对场地和其资源要求的很少。该公寓坐落于一片浓荫绿树之间，带有东、西的小玻璃窗，和朝南的窗户前的大格玻璃。这在最大限度地降低阳关照射的同时，优化了景观和采光。为了确保室内舒适的温度，该建筑采用隔热混凝土墙和喷涂泡沫隔热屋顶。该建筑还采用划地板辐射系统，通过高效锅炉取暖，并辅以热回收通风系统。混凝土楼层楼板是热源，同时在冬季的几个月里也是散热器，并在夏季保持室内凉爽。该房子没有，也不需要空调制冷。
Ultimately the design demands little of the site and its resources. The residence sits in the midst of the treed lot, with minimal east-west glazing, and large trellised overhangs above south facing windows. This optimizes views and day lighting, while minimizing solar gain. To ensure a comfortable interior climate the building envelope features insulated concrete form walls and a spray-foam insulated roof. The home is heated by a zoned radiant floor system via a high efficiency boiler supplemented by a heat recovery ventilation system. While the concrete floor slab is the source of heat, it also serves as a heat sink in the winter months and helps keep the home cool during the summer. The house does not have, nor does it require, an air conditioning unit for cooling.
北面和南面的窗户都是可开的，可以保证自然通风，从而进一步增强房子的自然、舒适之感。材料的选用、环境和设计影响的平衡和客户预算的优化都被充分考虑，从而打造优质的建筑空间。
Both the north and portions of the south windows are operable permitting natural cross ventilation, further contributing to the comfort and natural feeling of the home. The disciplined use of materials, balance of environmental and design impacts, and optimization of the client’s prescribed budget, were all considered as carefully as the spatial qualities of the home.
虽然这栋房子是新加入到原始的景观中的，该设计却使其感觉像一直是这片土地的一部分一样。
Though the house is a new insertion into a pristine landscape, the design allows it to reside as though it has always been a part of the land.
