弗吉尼亚这座极具动势的蓝岭住宅很让人羡慕,它位于占地两百英亩的青翠农场之中,这座农场坐落于蓝岭山脉的脚下,由Voorsanger Architects工作室设计的建筑本身也美的惊人,包括上下不同的两层,完全由玻璃围护。这座看上去耗能奢侈的建筑无论是制热还是制冷都完全由地热共给能量。蓝岭住宅位于阿尔伯马尔村,由钢框架和玻璃表皮构成,这有两个好处,最重要的是几乎所有的人第一眼看到这座建筑都会喜欢它的外观,其次是室内光线非常充沛,同时雕塑般的屋顶悬出长长的挑檐来避免过多的获取热量。这座住宅从生态学的角度看最明智的举措就是采用了可再生能源系统,不少于十个地热井为住宅提供所有的能量,除此之外,楼下起居室中央的可爱的壁炉也独立于附近的国家电网。石材、木材和其他天然材料的运用使室内低矮的线性空间感觉更加温暖,更不用说周边美丽的全景景观了。 It's hard to know what to envy first about this swooping Blue Ridge House in Virginia - the fact that it is located on a verdant 200 acre farm, that said farm lies at the foot of the stately Blue Ridge Mountains, or the sheer majesty of its gorgeous design by Voorsanger Architects. Comprised of two levels of asymmetrical pavilions sheathed in glass, this eco-luxe beauty gets all its heating and cooling from geothermal energy.the Blue Ridge House in Albermarle County has a steel frame and glass cladding. This has multiple benefits, not least of which is the first class view that every single person in the house enjoys. It also permits plenty of daylight, while the sculptural overhanging roofs provide shade to protect against excess solar gain.The home’s renewable energy system is by far the most ecologically-sensible aspect of this private residence. No fewer than ten geothermal wells provide all of the home’s heating and cooling, aside from a lovely fireplace situated in the downstairs family room, ensuring near-independence from the national grid. The use of stone, timber and other natural materials warms up the stout linear configuration, and did we mention the view.
