架构师提供的文本描述。建筑师伊恩·麦克唐纳(IanMacDonald)设计的四季家庭小屋，是对安大略省格鲁吉亚湾群岛的一个飞地Go HomeBay文化遗产景观的深刻回应。这个地区曾经是七国集团(G7)的不朽之地，有着丰富的自然美景。岩石岛屿的顶端是零碎的白松形状的西风。然而，景观也越来越容易受到发展的影响。过度的结构已经变得越来越普遍，支配着环境，使周围的环境相形见绌，破坏了一个人对自然领域的体验。

Text description provided by the architects. The four-season family cabin by architect Ian MacDonald is a deeply thoughtful response to the cultural heritage landscape of Go Home Bay, an enclave of Ontario’s Georgian Bay archipelago. The area was once immortalized by the Group of Seven and abounds with natural beauty. Rocky islands are topped by scraggly white pines shaped by the west winds. However, the landscape is also increasingly vulnerable to development. Over-scaled structures have become evermore commonplace, dominating the context, dwarfing the surroundings and spoiling one’s experience of the natural realm.

 Floor Plan

这个小屋是一个重要的，积极的替代流行趋势。它在使用现代语言的同时，体现了自19世纪90年代以来一直不引人注目地点缀该地区的乡土村舍的独特而朴素的特点。琥珀色的内饰，在粗糙的锯杉木框架下，是高效，紧凑和蒸馏到必要的要素，和平的周末以外的城市。这种简单掩盖了与周围大自然的深刻联系，这种联系既强烈又敏感，令人激动与和平。

This cabin is an important, positive alternative to the prevailing trends. It uses contemporary language while embodying the distinguishing and modest characteristics of the vernacular cottages that have unobtrusively dotted the area since the 1890s. The amber-hued interiors, framed in rough-sawn fir, are efficient, compact and distilled down to the necessary essentials for peaceful weekends outside of the city. The simplicity belies a profound connection to the surrounding nature that is at once strong and sensitive, stirring and peaceful.

麦克唐纳把这座建筑设计成战略位置，以尊重美丽的海岸线，并为游客创造一种期待的感觉。当游客通过水路接近(离最近的码头16英里，没有道路通道)时，该房产的成熟树木破坏了他们对狭小空间的看法。只有当游客们从码头爬上一片郁郁葱葱的草地，周围是高大的白松时，他们才能清楚地看到这座小屋就像一个木炭色的雪松盒子。这片土地上的轻盈在建筑中立刻显现出来：麦克唐纳把混凝土桥墩上的形状悬臂起来，让它漂浮在一处长出花岗岩的鲸鱼背上。

MacDonald strategically sited the structure to respect the beautiful shoreline, and to create a sense of anticipation for visitors. When visitors approach by water (it is 16-miles from the nearest dock, with no in-road access), the property’s mature trees fragment their views of the low-slung volume. It is only as visitors climb up from the dock through a juniper meadow, surrounded by tall white pines, that they see the cottage clearly as a charcoal-coloured cedar shingle box. The lightness on the land is instantly evident in the construction: MacDonald cantilevered the form off concrete piers so that it floats over a whaleback outcropping of granite.

他仔细整理了室内空间，强调了与景观的丰富联系。从东方进入一个简单的前厅，游客的意见大部分被拒绝，以延迟，从而加强他们的效果。然后，游客们进入了这间狭长的厨房，这间厨房就像一条走廊，沿着小屋的后面，连接着主要的区域，最后是一个舒适的小海湾，里面有一个木炉，可以看到后面广阔的森林。这一空间作为对立面，在毗邻的主要房间的大水景，大约42英尺的窗户向西看向开放的回家湾通道。在这里，地面平面消失在视野之外，中间的短地面消失了。这种模糊吸引了游客的想象力，导致了对景观规模的更宏大的感知，并定义了一个人对这个地方的主要记忆。

He carefully sequenced interior spaces to underscore a rich connection to the landscape. Entering into a simple vestibule from the east, visitors’ views are largely withheld to delay and therefore intensify their effect. Visitors then pass into the long kitchen, which doubles as a corridor along the back of the cabin, connecting the principal areas and ending in a cozy sitting cove complete with a woodstove and views to the extensive forest behind. This space serves as counterpoint to the big water views in the adjacent main room where some 42 linear feet of windows look west toward the open Go Home Bay channel. Here, the ground plane drops out of view, and the short middle ground is lost. This obscuring engages the visitor’s imagination, resulting in a more grand perception of the scale of the landscape, and defining one's primary memory of the place.

可持续的特点减轻了建筑物的足迹。主要建筑材料在一艘驳船上进行协调，以减少运输的实际能量。此外，麦克唐纳利用他对该网站天气模式的了解-由于缺乏气流，内海湾地区在夏季可能会酷热得令人窒息-以改善被动的热舒适性。灌溉的绿色屋顶改善了冷却，遮阳与围护结合减少了热量，主空间，以可操作的牧师为上限，转变为一个带有电梯和滑动门的屏蔽门廊，以改善交叉通风。建筑中的这种孔隙有助于居民在白天、季节和气候方面的变化，最终与土地形成更深刻的联系。

Sustainable features lighten the building’s footprint. The main construction materials were coordinated on a single barge to reduce the embodied energy of transportation. Furthermore, MacDonald drew on his knowledge of the site’s weather patterns — the inner bay locale can be stiflingly hot in the summer due to a lack of airflow — to improve passive thermal comfort. The irrigated green roof ameliorates cooling, sunshades integrated with the envelope reduce heat gain, and the main space, capped by operable clerestories, transforms into a screened-in porch with lift and slide doors to improve cross ventilation. This porosity in the architecture helps the inhabitants mark the changes in the days, the seasons and the climate, ultimately forging a more profound connection to the land.
