由于它的被动太阳能设计，房子能够全年加热和冷却，没有外部能源从传统的暖通空调系统输入。

As a result of its passive solar design, the house is able to heat and cool itself year-round, with no external energy input from traditional HVAC systems.

在许多方面，这座房子是勒柯布西耶的“居住机器”概念的对立面，因为它具有高度的立地性、极高的能源效率，不依赖暖通空调系统进行温度控制，而且几乎每一个部件都是专门为这座房子设计和手工制作的。

In many ways, this house is the antithesis of Le Corbusier’s concept of a house as a “machine for living in”, as it is highly site-specific, extremely energy efficient, does not rely upon HVAC systems for temperature control, and nearly every element was designed and hand crafted specifically for this house.

由于所有的建筑都是由业主/建筑师亲自完成的，这个项目花了近八年的时间才完成。不涉及承包商、分包商或日常帮助者。

The project took nearly eight years to complete as all of the construction was done by the owner/architect himself. No contractors, sub-contractors, or daily helpers were involved.
