Appreciation towards Specht Harpman Architects for providing the following description:
该项目位于Saugatuck河附近的山谷中。被绿色植物装点的平面和立面模糊了住宅与周围自然环境的界限。
经由上面山崖上的道路可以到达位于屋顶的住宅入口。屋顶入口是该项目设计的关键要素。从阶梯式的平台到山脚种满了四季常青的当地特色绿植。卧室陷于屋顶花园中，仿佛完全被周围景色所掩埋。屋顶花园与同样种满绿色植物的立面融为一体。
视线、透明玻璃墙壁和材料的连续性将住宅内外部连接起来。优雅的玻璃壁炉为内部空间带来了惊喜。如所有的玻璃房一样，风景成为住宅的天然装饰。白天，透过玻璃墙壁可以直接看到外部景色；夜晚，被灯光照射的玻璃墙壁反射出影影绰绰的植物暗影。
The Weston Residence nestles in a valley adjacent to the Saugatuck River. In plan and section, the elements of the house engage the site in a way that purposefully blurs the transition and distinction between the built and natural environment.
As the house is approached from a road that begins high on a cliff above, the roofscape – or fifth façade – becomes a critical element of the design. Terraced planes planted with year-round, region-specific succulents step down the hill. Bedrooms project out into these roof gardens, giving a feeling of being fully immersed in the landscape. The planted roofs are also integral to the high-performance building envelope.
Interior and exterior spaces are joined through views, portals, and material continuity. A glass-backed fireplace provides an elegant surprise. Like other glass houses, the landscape becomes the “decoration” for the rooms, playing with transparency during the day and reflectivity at night.

简单大气
我觉得这个设计是不是细节上没有设计好，一畏的去着重考虑与环境融合，一楼的主卧，过于开放，二楼的客卧过于私密，并且2楼卫生间极为尴尬。
一楼的卧室完全没有私密性吧，一边厨房一边露台，像个交通空间。应该是一楼客卧，二楼主卧吧，流线很奇怪呢。
看了比较动容的一个设计，个人认为优点在于：1.依附地形协调建筑与场地的关系，没有破坏掉场地的本真美，从折线形挡土墙与山体相接的细节、河道石砌驳岸就能体会到这种质朴的用心 2.建筑藏于景中，室内即可享受较大面积的景致和阳光，至于私密性问题，可以考虑加装窗帘或者百叶窗 3.建筑墙体的设计还是比较有趣的，部分面积较大的墙体不承重，虽然这种手法已经较为常见，但还是值得学习。
