“这是一个出色的设计。设计团队对石材的利用让人惊喜。场地中的原始景观极为独特但所有的设计都恰到好处。而所有材料的运用都与建筑相辅相成。”
——2016年评审委员会
“A lovely job. The use of stone was very striking. Yes, there were grand gestures but these were appropriately done. The palette of the landscape agrees well with the architecture.”
– 2016 Awards Jury

项目陈述 PROJECT STATEMENT

项目坐落于麻省南侧岛屿Martha’s Vineyard上的终碛区，坐拥独特的冰川地貌与无边的开阔海景。考虑到场地中现存的冰川漂砾与大树，建筑以最简洁的形态呈现出来，为数不多的室外露台顺着建筑延伸，自然与建筑相互交融。空间组织的手法和材料的使用在室内外形成了一致与延续，内外空间的界限也随之变得暧昧，而这一切都必须归功于建筑师与景观设计团队的紧密合作。

Set high on the terminal moraine of Martha’s Vineyard, this project emphasizes the unique quality of a glacial landscape with sweeping ocean views. Existing glacial erratics and mature trees are woven into the design, which employs a minimal number of walls and terraces to ground the house to the site. Close collaboration between the Architect and Landscape Architect fostered a strong continuity of spatial organization and materiality between interior and exterior spaces, effectively blurring the boundaries between inside and outside.

项目说明 PROJECT NARRATIVE

这座度假小屋占地4英亩，主建筑、客人用房、篮球场、停车场和泳池散落在场地之中。正如作为现代艺术收藏家和摄影师的业主所希望的那样，建筑抽象、低调，完全融入了场地之中，遥看着南侧壮阔的海景。

景观设计团队与设计师的合作始于方案的概念阶段，他们一同选址、确定建筑朝向、选取主要景观元素和视野，并讨论如何将现状树木与岩层结合到设计之中。长长的石墙水平向延伸，进一步强调出冰川地貌独有的起伏感，带来丰富的空间视觉层次。在这片由巨大的树木和岩石围合而成的空间之中，自然景观与“人造景观”相辅相成，成为了一个整体。

怀着对Martha’s Vineyard岛屿上乡土植被的尊重，景观设计团队丛中稍作选择，限定出设计中所使用的物种范围。原生的橡木、枫树、雪松、金缕梅、须芒草、木槿以及蕨类交错种植，打造出层次丰富却又不显凌乱的花园空间。千百年的时光已经见证了这些植被在严酷而无常的海岸气候下的顽强与坚韧，几乎无需人工养护也能茁壮的生长。被完整保留的树木以及与附近区域遥相呼应的植物选择让新、旧景观相互交织，难分彼此。而线性的矮墙与顺着建筑、泳池延伸的露台则棱角分明，与自然生长的错落草甸、林地形成了充满趣味的对比。

经过重新规划的车行道不仅能同时服务主建筑与客人用房，同时也让场地中数株美丽的橡木更为凸显。以碎石和贝壳碎片铺设的车行道以及道路两侧的开阔草坪大大减少了对路基排水的压力。而在停车场后侧，略高于地面的木质走道与平台也为雨水的自然下渗留出了可能性。

随之人们的慢慢前行，内外空间在材料上的延续性与一致性也变得愈发明显和清晰。人们驶过砾石车道，踏过混凝土铺路石，来到入口处的木质走道上。走道向前延伸，在室内转化为木地板，再过渡到建筑后侧的木平台。其后，一块块混凝土板形成了一条延绵的小道，向着泳池延伸。这条南北向的轴线如同脊梁般串联起库房、停车场、入口花园、建筑与后侧的草坪。零星的花岗岩板散落在草地上，连接着草地与泳池平台。而内嵌在山坡上的无边泳池则创造出美妙的错觉，让人仿佛畅游在不远处辽阔的大海之中。

场地中的第二根轴线，一道东西向延伸的花岗岩挡土墙，则兼具路径与空间限定的功能。这道水平向的矮墙让泳池和草地从草坪空间中脱离出来，同时在东侧尽头转化为数阶台阶，联系着通往客房的草地小径。场地中散落的墙体将敏感的自然区域与功能性更强的空间区分开来。在本项目中，景观设计团队以各种有效的设计手段，让简洁干净的现代建筑与Martha’s Vineyard独特的冰川地貌融为了一体。

The project was conceived of as a 4 acre vacation retreat consisting of a main house, guest house, basketball court, parking court and swimming pool. The clients as collectors of modern art and photography wanted a design that was minimalist, understated, and strongly integrated with the site, taking full advantage of the ocean views to the south.

The Landscape Architect and Architect worked together from conceptual development to locate and orient the house, site major landscape features, capture views and incorporate existing trees and rock formations into the design. Grading and sight lines are enhanced by stone walls which underscore the dramatic contours of the unique glacial terrain. A strong interplay exists between the native landscape and the “man made” features of the design, which weave seamlessly through the spaces created by large existing trees and boulders.

The Landscape Architect created a simple planting palette that celebrates the native vegetation of Martha’s Vineyard. Native Oak, Maple, Cedar, Witch Hazel, Bluestem grasses, Rose Mallow, and ferns form understated garden areas. Plant species were selected for their proven hardiness against the unpredictable coastal climate, and for their ability to thrive with minimal maintenance. The new and old landscapes are stitched together by integrating plant types found in the surrounding environment, and by preserving trees. The linear geometry of walls and terraces adjacent to the house and pool contrast the less ordered, intersecting landscape of native meadow and woodland.

The existing driveway was realigned to serve the residences and to preserve and highlight significant oaks on the property. The use of crushed stone and shells in the driveway and the vast amounts of meadow planting reduce the amount of sub-grade drainage required. Upon entering the parking court, the raised wood decking in the boardwalk and terraces encourages infiltration of rainwater.

The strong relationship between interior and exterior materials becomes evident in the entry sequence. Concrete pavers lead across the gravel driveway to a wooden boardwalk that passes through the front entry. The boardwalk geometry continues as wood flooring in the house and rear deck, and evolves into a concrete plank walkway leading toward the pool. This north-south axis functions as a central spine which connects the garage, parking court, entry garden, house, and rear lawn plinth. Granite slabs lead informally through the meadow to the pool terrace, which is built into the hillside creating a dramatic juxtaposition between the pool’s edge and distant ocean views.

A second axis on site, a granite retaining wall running east-west, provides both circulation and delineation. The wall divides the pool and meadow from the lawn plinth and transforms into a set of stairs connecting to a meadow path which leads to the guesthouse. Walls on the site help demarcate sensitive natural areas from those more programmatic in use. As a whole, the project effectively integrates clean modern architecture with the unique surrounding glacial landscape of Martha’s Vineyard.
