架构师提供的文本描述。这座房子的概念是一个火柴盒，四个内象限(雪松壁板)在外套筒内互相滑动(站立接缝金属包装)。通过这样做，内部象限的每一端要么突出通过外袖，要么被推入其中，从而创造出仍在袖子范围内的室外空间。这所房子的意思是读起来像一座坐落在树林里的城市小屋，因此在它接近(短)的高度上，它有一个标志性的四边房屋的几何形状。为了更清楚地表达这一点，它是在一个嵌入的混凝土基座上提出的，它表示通常会接触地面的底部的两条边(因此也是第五面)。

Text description provided by the architects. The concept for the house is a matchbox in which the four inner quadrants (cedar siding) slip past one another within the outer sleeve (standing seam metal wrapper).  By doing so, each end of the inner quadrants either juts out past the outer sleeve, or is pushed into it, thereby creating outdoor space that is still within the confines of the sleeve. The house is meant to read as an urban cottage nestled in the woods and therefore in its approaching (short) elevation it has the geometry of an iconic 4 sided house. To articulate this even more, it is raised on an inset concrete plinth, which expresses the bottom two edges (and therefore fifth side) that would normally touch the ground.

这所房子有四间卧室，1，740 SF的空调空间和一个车库。它正在接受LEED白金认证。它的评级为49和许多“绿色”的特点，包括FSC木材，回收修剪从已拆除的谷仓，没有传统的草坪(没有灌溉)和低流量管道固定装置。房子应该是小而紧凑的：房子里的每一个区域都被使用(既没有阁楼，也没有地下室)。正因为如此，房子有不同的房间，在体积和创造动态空间。楼上的房间有戏剧性的天花板，从3‘-0“开始，到16’-0”结束。主起居区的一部分有一个双容积的空间，可以到达屋顶。

The house has four bedrooms, 1,740 sf of conditioned space and a one car garage. It is on track to receive LEED Platinum Certification. It has a HERS rating of 49 and many "green" features, including FSC wood, reclaimed trim from demolished barns, no conventional turf (no irrigation) and low flow plumbing fixtures. The house is meant to be small and compact: every area in this house is used (there is neither an attic nor a basement). Because of this, the house has rooms which vary in volume and create dynamic spaces. The upstairs rooms have dramatic ceilings that begin at 3’-0” and end at 16’-0”. A portion of the main living area has a double volume space which goes to the roof.
