大自然的拥抱

Embedded in the treescape, a contemporary home is built against a backdrop of 生活 art.

A vision of harmony between architecture and nature, this recently constructed contemporary home is as striking as it is serene. 该住宅由Charles Rose建筑事务所 由 Sea-Dar建设, honors the site’s inherent beauty by maximizing its connection with the landscape.

“The clients wanted to create something that was very site-specific,查尔斯·罗斯说, Charles Rose建筑事务所的负责人. 房主, who also owned the previous home on the property—an aging structure that was disconnected from its natural surroundings—were keen to start anew.

“The intent with this project was to create a new space for the next generation of their family to enjoy,阿曼达·格罗斯解释道。, Sea-Dar建设的项目经理. The project included a full tear-down of the existing structure, 传递火炬的令人心酸的象征.

“One of the goals was to create a more dynamic relationship between the interior spaces and the exterior,罗斯说。. Designed with durability and minimal maintenance in mind, 它以阿拉斯加黄雪松为外墙. The choice of plank siding over traditional cedar shingles infuses a contemporary flair to the coastal property. 

内部, a sweep of vast windows immerses occupants into the billowing canopy of trees on the south side of the property. The layout of the home—an intentional inversion of the norm—places the primary family 生活 spaces on the top floor, 在哪里可以充分体验树冠.

开放式厨房, 生活, 用餐空间, and one of two primary suites complete the upper level, where sculptural architecture conveys a treehouse motif. Stacked atop each other, the two primary suites both offer unobstructed forest views. 

橡木饰面贯穿整个室内, with a blend of clean lines and classic finishes accentuated by custom millwork crafted by Triple Crown Cabinet & 磨光工作. With much of the additional interior and exterior labor done in-house, Sea-Dar’s diligent team balanced high-quality craftsmanship with budget and code considerations.

This floorplan was also a strategic move to optimize energy efficiency. 在夏天, 树叶遮蔽了房子, 减少眩光和太阳热量的增加, 在冬天, 光秃秃的树枝允许充足的阳光. 

“The windows were one of the big parts of this project,格罗斯说, noting the windows were largely sourced from Sierra Pacific and Loewen. “We put a lot of time into making sure we got those right.” 

Crafted with precision by Sea-Dar’s in-house team, every element of the deck—from the spacing of the posts to the dimensions of the wooden slats—was carefully curated to create the final result. From the main deck, a staircase—with metal work installed by -金属制品—leads to a rooftop deck, which offers a vantage point toward the ocean in the distance. Outdoor 生活 areas are enhanced by surrounding landscaping courtesy of 汉密尔顿树 & 景观.

An exterior staircase features metal work installed by -金属制品. “The design of the support post along with the visual angles and dark color of the staircase make this a unique feature of the project,Rene Paradis说, 帕拉迪斯金属工厂的负责人. “它会立刻吸引你的注意力.”

To best make use of the site, the exterior entry sequence was carefully designed. A central open-air passageway guides visitors to enter the home on the forested southern side of the house, avoiding a neighboring parking lot on the northern edge. 

“There is a sense that this home will eventually recede into the landscape,” says Rose. “这是一栋非常安静、坚忍、安静的建筑.“经过深思熟虑的设计，创造了一个亲密的空间, 与眼前景观的空灵联系, the home transcends the ordinary to allow nature’s embrace to be felt at every turn.
