On the shores of Lake Ouareau in Saint-Donat, Quebec, ACDF Architecture has designed a home that looks out across the landscape and provides a peaceful place for a busy family.

在魁北克省圣多纳特的瓦雷奥湖畔，阿民防建筑设计了一个可以俯瞰风景的家，为忙碌的家庭提供了一个宁静的地方。

The self-proclaimed ‘hyperactive family’, with a schedule packed with activities, namely skiing and waterskiing, needed a quiet respite from their timetable to rest and regroup. In love with nature, they wanted a house that would place them directly in the landscape and enable them to continue to enjoy the great outdoors whilst feeling protected.

这个自称是“多动症家庭”的家庭，有着大量的活动，比如滑雪和滑水，需要从他们的时间表中得到一个安静的休息和重新组合。在热爱大自然的情况下，他们想要一座房子，把他们直接安置在风景中，使他们能够继续享受伟大的户外活动，同时又感到受到保护。

Montreal-based ACDF Architecture came up with a solution that opened up the house to its picturesque location. Orientated towards the lake, the residence’s upper volume is a prism of dark wood that leans out into the landscape. The curved roof shelters a wide elevated terrace, a spacious extension of the interior, for the family to spend time outdoors in the sheltered space. The architects even built-in mosquito nets for all-season nature appreciation.

总部位于蒙特利尔的APDF建筑公司想出了一个解决方案，把房子打开到其风景如画的位置。朝向湖面，住宅的上部空间是一个黑色的木头棱镜，倾斜到景观中。弯曲的屋顶遮住了一个宽阔的高架露台，一个宽敞的内部延伸部分，供家庭在隐蔽的空间里呆在户外。建筑师甚至内置蚊帐来欣赏四季自然。

Family life plays out in the upper volume. From each raised end of the volume, sunlight streams through the space while the shape of the curved roof distributes the light evenly. Reminiscent of a boat’s hull, all the activity of the house is collected here in – from the entrance to the house, the kitchen, dining room and two bedrooms.

家庭生活在更高的音量中发挥作用。从体积的每一个上升端，阳光流过空间，而弯曲屋顶的形状均匀地分布着光线。让人想起一艘船的船体，房子的所有活动都收集在这里-从入口处到房子，厨房，餐厅和两个卧室。

The lower volume, where there is a family room, sauna and the children’s rooms, was defined by the specific shape of the surrounding site and is almost buried into the land. The solid façade of the concrete base shields the house from the nearby road for privacy, and extends into an exterior wall to protect an outdoor space for socialising. §

较低的空间，即有家庭房间、桑拿浴室和儿童房，是由周围场所的具体形状确定的，几乎被埋在土地中。这座混凝土基地的实心立面将房屋与附近的道路隔开，以保持隐私，并延伸至外墙，以保护户外空间进行社交活动。§
