架构师提供的文本描述。这座下雪的乡村别墅位于西北斜坡上，俯瞰不列颠哥伦比亚省西南部惠斯勒山谷的全景。该网站是一个困难的楔形，提供了刚好足够的空间，一个车库和狭窄的入口在街道的一边，在顶部的斜坡。

Text description provided by the architects. This snow country house is located on a northwest slope overlooking a panoramic view of Whistler valley in southwest British Columbia. The site is a difficult wedge shape which offers just enough room for a garage and narrow entrance on the street side at the top of the slope.

房子的外部形状是由两个主要考虑因素组成的：第一个是允许的建筑足迹和高度。第二是需要把雪从屋顶上撒到适当的储存区内。从挤压建筑脚印和折叠雪棚屋顶的交汇处产生的雕塑体积被以一种保持建筑形式固有的塑性特性的方式占据着。

The exterior form of the house is shaped by the intersection of two principal considerations: The first is the allowable building footprint and height. The second is the need to shed snow from the roof into appropriate storage areas within the site. The sculptural volume that emerges from this intersection of extruded building footprint and folding snow-shed roof is occupied in a manner that maintains the inherent plastic properties of the building form.

主层基本上是一个很大的空间，有居住、用餐和厨房区域，还有一个室外甲板，所有这些都通向山谷景观。在最高的屋顶山脊下有一个垂直的空间裂缝，将弯曲的空间分成两半，并将光带到剖面和平面图的最深处。楼梯在这个裂缝内上升，一座桥在上层跨越它，连接主卧室套房和书房。下面，在最低层，有更亲密的空间，包括客人卧室和第二个客厅，以及一个大的服务空间。这一服务空间直接从车库入口处进入房子，为雪地的生活提供支持-在那里，湿衣服被挂起来晾干或直接扔进洗衣房，滑雪者可以在那里储存他们一天活动的所有用具。另一层楼梯将这个较低的层与房子下面的一个室外露台连接起来，这是除了前面入口处之外，陡峭场地上唯一的水平地面。

The main level is essentially one large space with living, dining and kitchen areas and an outdoor deck all of which open up to the valley view. A vertical crevice of space runs under the highest roof ridge, bisecting the warped volume and bringing light to the deepest part of the section and plan. Stairs rise within this rift and a bridge crosses it at the upper level connecting master bedroom suite and study. Below, on the lowest level, are more intimate spaces housing guest bedrooms and a second living area, as well as a large service space. Accessible directly from the garage entrance to the house, this service space supports life in snow country - where wet clothes are hung to dry or thrown directly into the laundry, where skiers can store all the paraphernalia of their day’s activities. Another stair connects this lower level to an outdoor patio below the house, the only level ground on the steep site other than that at the front entrance.

建筑是整体系统和框架系统的混合体。围护较低层的楼板和墙是混凝土的，而最上面的层是一种用木框架填充的复合钢和重木结构。整个结构是护套的整体屏幕开放间隔2×6 ipe板以上的传统屋顶和墙壁组件。在夏季和冬季，较低的混凝土结构的热质量抑制了室内温度的波动。夏天，室内自然冷却通风，从房子北侧的最低层吸入空气，在中央裂谷顶部通风口。

Construction is a hybrid of monolithic and framed systems. The slabs and walls which enclose the lower floor are concrete, while the uppermost levels are a composite steel and heavy timber structure with wood-frame infill. The entire structure is sheathed with a monolithic screen of open-spaced 2 x 6 ipe boards over conventional roof and wall assemblies. The thermal mass of the lower concrete structure dampens temperature swings within the house in summer and winter. In summer the interior is naturally cooled and ventilated by drawing air from the lowest level on the north side of the house to vent at the top of the central rift.
