架构师提供的文本描述。“红屋”是一位纤维艺术家和她年轻的家庭的简约之家，是密尔沃基郊区一个小湖周围的一条大型、平淡无奇的住宅项链中的一条没有道歉的当代元素。这座房子建在一片狭小的土地上，由于其有限的面积和令人望而却步的分区限制而被认为不适合新的建筑建设，它是一个案例，研究了建筑是否有能力利用具有挑战性的环境中所感受到的制约因素，提供真正的设计解决方案，解决隐藏在郊区的溴化美学中的隐私、密度和生活等基本问题。

Text description provided by the architects. The Redaction House is a compact home for a fiber artist and her young family, an unapologetically contemporary addition to a long necklace of large, prosaic spec homes surrounding a small lake in suburban Milwaukee.  Built on a narrow sliver of land that had been considered unsuitable for new construction because of its limited size and prohibitive zoning restrictions, the house is a case study in architecture’s ability to exploit the perceived constraints of a challenging context, offering genuine design solutions that address fundamental issues of privacy, density, and life embedded in the bromide aesthetics of suburbia.

坐在一个刻在遗址现有斜坡上的踏板砖平台上，主程序被整合成一个简单的两层木头立方体，这是一种刻意内倾的结构，设计成一个光学过滤器，专注于该遗址有限的湖泊景观，同时编辑周围建筑环境的景观。从街上走近这座房子，一条小径通向一条直线的入口庭院，一座由开缝砖墙包围的户外前厅，墙的穿孔逐渐减少，开始了仔细的视觉编辑过程。在庭院的尽头，透明的前门将湖的视线固定在远处。在里面，精心布置的从地板到天花板的通道与实心的墙壁交替。利用那些令人向往的视线，并屏蔽那些不是的。这些房间按照家庭中心聚集地的周长分组，这是一个两层楼高的起居室，里面的光圈垂直地堆放着，可以看到天空和悬崖上落叶的叶子。

Sitting on a stepped brick podium carved into the site’s existing slope, the main program is consolidated in a simple two-story wood cube, a deliberately introverted structure designed to  function as an optic filter that focuses on the site’s limited lake vista while editing out views of the built-up context around it.  Approaching the house from the street, a path leads into a linear entry courtyard, an outdoor antechamber surrounded by a slotted brick wall whose decreasing perforation begins the careful process of visual redaction.  At the end of a courtyard, the transparent front door frames an unencumbered view of the lake beyond.  Inside, strategically placed floor-to-ceiling apertures alternate with solid walls, taking advantage of sightlines that are desirable and screening those that are not.  The rooms are grouped along the perimeter of the family’s central gathering space, a two-story living hall where the apertures are stacked vertically to open up views into the sky and the bluff’s deciduous foliage.

这种精心约束的外部材料调色板来自当地，仅限于来自威斯康辛州北部的木材和伊利诺伊州的砖块。房子的主体是水平雪松，在深凹的孔洞之间，辅之以深色的垂直雪松条。在这里，狭窄的彩绘板创造了意想不到的色彩丝线。一个微妙的点头在多色线的特点，纤维艺术家自己的作品。

The carefully restrained exterior material palette is locally sourced and limited to wood from northern Wisconsin and brick from Illinois.  The main body of the house is clad in horizontal cedar, complemented by strips of dark-stained vertical cedar between the deeply recessed apertures.  Here, narrow painted boards create an unexpected filigree of colors, a subtle nod at the polychrome threads that characterize the fiber artist’s own work.

建筑围护结构采用大豆基密闭膨胀泡沫保温，墙体和屋面R值分别为35和55，进一步提高了屋面的保温值；更重要的是，他们尽量减少雨水径流，以改善长期的悬崖稳定性和湖泊的水质。多余的雨水被收集在一个现场雨场，在那里它可以缓慢地渗透到地面。

The building envelope is insulated with soy-based closed-cell expanding foam, yielding extraordinary R-values in walls and roofs of 35 and 55, respectively.  The home’s green roofs further increase the roof’s insulation value; more importantly, they minimize stormwater runoff to improve long-term bluff stability and the lake’s water quality.  Excess stormwater is collected in an on-site raingarden , where it can slowly percolate into the ground.
