The Mountain Retreat residence presented a unique architectural
opportunity given the remote and private site, overlooking a serene lake
and rugged hills beyond. The layout of the building in the landscape
resulted from the intent to create a series of private family spaces
each with a unique visual connection to the surrounding site, while
providing privacy for those spaces from the site access and adjacent
interior spaces. To ensure privacy, the program elements are arranged in
a pinwheel form, radiating from a central corridor, which also serves
as the main entry of the house. The corridor is fully glazed to maximize
views to the outdoors, providing fully climatized circulation between
the smaller peaked wooden volumes, in which the family spaces are
housed. The goal for the architectural form language was to create a
series of well-proportioned gable volumes that allow the building’s
massing to break-down in terms of its scale and magnitude and integrate
into the surrounding natural environment.
Mountain Retreat 住宅提供了一个独特的建筑机会，因为它是一个偏远而私密的地点，俯瞰着宁静的湖泊和远处崎岖的山丘。建筑在景观中的布局源于创建一系列私人家庭空间，每个空间都与周围场地具有独特的视觉联系，同时为这些空间提供来自场地入口和相邻内部空间的隐私。为了确保隐私，功能元素以风车的形式排列，从中央走廊向外辐射，该走廊也是房屋的主要入口。走廊采用全玻璃幕墙，以最大限度地扩大户外视野，在较小的尖顶木质体量之间提供完全气候的流通，家庭空间位于其中。建筑形式语言的目标是创造一系列比例匀称的山墙体量，使建筑的体量在规模和量级方面有所分解，并与周围的自然环境融为一体。
To help ensure that the home is energy-efficient, comfortable and
healthy to occupy, the shell and mechanical systems were designed based
on the Passive House principals. The building shell construction
includes an airtight, highly insulated foundation, wall and roof
assembly that successfully passed a blower-door-test.
Ultra-high-performance windows and doors were specified and located
where they collect maximum heat from the sun. For the mechanical
equipment, high-efficiency heating and cooling systems were installed,
including a heat-recovery ventilation system that delivers a constant
flow of fresh air while capturing 80 percent of the heat from the air it
exhausts to the outdoors. Combined, this results in a building that
uses approximately 20 percent of the energy consumed by a conventional
code-compliant house, while providing a healthier, more comfortable
living environment.
为了帮助确保房屋节能、舒适和健康的居住环境，被动房的外壳和机械系统的设计基于被动房的原则。建筑外壳结构包括一个气密、高度绝缘的地基、墙壁和屋顶组件，该组件成功通过了鼓风机门测试。指定了超高性能门窗，并将其放置在它们从太阳收集最大热量的地方。对于机械设备，安装了高效的加热和冷却系统，包括一个热回收通风系统，该系统提供恒定的新鲜空气流，同时捕获 80% 的热量从排放到室外的空气中。综合起来，该建筑使用的能源大约是符合规范的传统房屋的 20%，同时提供更健康、更舒适的生活环境。
The core of the Mountain Retreat construction system is an innovative all-wood panel made from cross-laminated timber (CLT), which was manufactured in Quebec by Nordic Structures. CLT is an engineered wood product consisting of sawn planks bonded in alternating-direction layers to form structural panels that can be quickly assembled—in house-of-cards fashion—into a solid-wood building shell. The benefit of this construction system is that the wood panels are carbon storing, extremely durable, and also create a delightful interior environment through the exposed wood interior finish of the CLT.
Mountain Retreat 建筑系统的核心是由交叉层压木材 （CLT） 制成的创新全木板，该板由 Nordic Structures 在魁北克制造。CLT 是一种工程木制品，由锯木板以交替方向粘合而成，形成结构板，这些板可以以纸牌屋的方式快速组装成实木建筑外壳。这种建筑系统的好处是木板是碳储存的，非常耐用，并且还通过 CLT 的裸露木内饰创造了一个令人愉快的室内环境。
