住宅最初被一个来自英国做长期访问的家庭使用,这里是他们放松以及和家庭、大自然接触的地方,远离城市的喧闹和拥挤,他们希望在这里能够呆足一个月。设计目的是,力求使得这个月的每一天是独一无二的,通过不同规格,功能,景观提供给业主一系列不同的感觉。 This residence is primarily used when the clients’ extended family comes from England for long visits. They come to relax and to reconnect with their family and with nature, away from city crowds and traffic, at a retreat they neither want nor need to leave for a month. The design objective was to make every day of that month unique by providing a range of destinations within the site with diverse scales, functions, and views: from gathering in the expansive living room overlooking the fields of the former peach orcha rd to reading alone on a shaded bench between the library and the edge of the forest.
