这座滨湖住宅位于Marble Falls,一个位于奥斯丁西北约50英里(80公里)的小镇。这座三层住宅从山坡升起,平面为长方形,俯瞰着湖泊。
The top floor of this tall holiday home by US studio Lake Flato is situated above the tree line, enabling impressive views of a lake in Texas Hill Country.
The Blue Lake Retreat is located in Marble Falls, a small town situated about 50 miles (80 kilometres) northwest of Austin. Rectangular in plan, the three-storey residence rises up from a hillside and overlooks a lake.
“利用这个设计机会,发挥其最大的潜力,这个狭窄的三层住宅在顶层达到了高潮,顶层刚好在树林线之上,可以带来湖泊景色得全景视野”, Lake Flato说,该公司总部位于德克萨斯州圣安东尼奥市。
The home's verticality was conceived in response to the site's steep topography.
"Leveraging this design opportunity for its greatest potential, the narrow three-story residence dramatically culminates at the top floor, which is set just above the tree line, providing nearly a 180-degree view of the lake beyond," said Lake Flato, a firm based in San Antonio, Texas.
足够的玻璃窗提供了广阔的视野,与景观有很强的联系。
The home is anchored into the hillside with a reinforced concrete foundation. A hybrid system of steel and wood was used for the building's structural frame.
Exterior walls are sheathed in Western red cedar and corrugated weathering steel. Creating "a low-maintenance home with practical cladding that could last for generations" was a driving concern.
“Materials were selected primarily for their durability and deliberately placed in response to the sun and wind exposure of each elevation," the firm said.
Ample glazing provides expansive views and a strong connection to the landscape.
较低的两层为卧室,包围着阳台和露台。
A large, sloped roof supported by light-coloured beams tops the building.
Different levels are accessed via an exterior stair enclosed in metal mesh. "All circulation space is located outside, allowing users to further interact with the outdoors," the firm said.
The lower two floors, which contain bedrooms, are wrapped with balconies and terraces.
在住宅的南边,立面上的穿孔开口可以瞥到远处崎岖的山峦。该团队还安装了一座通向火山坑的桥梁。
The top level houses the main living spaces. It features a glazed, north-facing wall and a wooden deck that cantilevers over the site – features that enable occupants to take in the scenery.
On the south side of the home, punched openings in the facade provide glimpses of the rugged hillside terrain. The team also installed a bridge that leads to a fire pit.
该公司还为该基地建造了一栋两层楼的船屋,模仿了主体结构的建筑语言。 该结构包含一个船坞,一条船只滑道和一个游泳甲板,并通过一座穿过水面的桥梁进入。
Inside, the home features natural finishes paired with exposed steel structural beams and contemporary decor.
"Operable windows and doors allow the home to be naturally ventilated on nice days by inviting the prevailing breezes to blow through," the architects described.
The firm also created a two-storey boathouse for the site, which mimics the architectural language of the main structure. The structure contains a boat dock, a boat slip and a swimming deck, and is accessed via a bridge that passes over the water.
该公司表示:“一座桥延伸回到较低的山坡,利用结构来整合基地并置的各种地形。”
建筑总共包括7,962平方英尺(740平方米),其中包括没有空调的空间。
"A bridge extends back to the lower hillside, utilising structures to unite the site's juxtaposed, varied landforms," the firm said.
In total, the retreat encompasses 7,962 square feet (740 square metres), which includes spaces that are not air-conditioned.
Lake Flato的其他项目包括一座宽敞的奥斯汀住宅,有一条木板路通往湖泊。以及在迪凯特的教育中心,拥有大草原景观的低洼地块。
