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.
