Whidbey农场住宅坐落在一片森林边缘，周围遍布着高大的道格拉斯冷杉、铁杉和野草莓树。这座历史悠久的住宅从农田和附近道路上看都保持了低调谦逊的姿态，为的是可以避开人们的视野。住宅捕捉到了俯瞰旧谷仓、鱼塘和有机牛场的视野，但依然展现出对周围景观和农业历史的尊重。森林深处，房屋的体量被谨慎地置入冷杉之间的一处不大不小的空地，以尽可能地保护场地上的树木。根据房主的要求，项目的设计和施工过程也将对树木的保护放在了极其重要的位置。

The Whidbey Farm house tucks into the edge of a dense forest of large Douglas Fir, Hemlock and Madrona trees, overlooking a turn of the century family farm. The view of the house is intentionally discreet and modest from the agricultural areas and nearby road, with the intent that someone may not even notice it. The house captures views overlooking weathering barns, a fishing pond and organic cattle fields, but still feels deferential to the landscape and the agricultural history of the site. Within the forest, the house massing is designed to slip between tall Firs and wrap around a modest clearing within the dense forest. Each building wing was carefully situated to preserve as many significant trees as possible. At the owner’s request, intense care and effort during design and construction placed the protection of the trees over construction expediency.

住宅的空间被分解成一系列大小适中的分散区域，谨慎地穿插在一排高大的杉树之间，并环绕着种满原生灌木和蕨类植物的庭院。低矮的玄武岩墙壁定义出庭院的边界，同时将住宅的各部分体量组织起来。庭院在这些体量之间建立了视觉和空间上的联系，既提供了进入和连接路径，又能够在必要之时起到分隔与退避的作用。粗犷的碎石步道穿过茂密而幽暗的常青树林一路延伸至房屋，带来朝向庭院和森林的多层次视野。

The program of the home is broken down into discrete, modestly sized volumes, carefully woven between an array of large Douglas Fir trees, wrapped around a courtyard of natural and native shrubs and ferns. A low wall of stacked local Basalt stone organizes the volumes and subtly defines the perimeter of the courtyard. The courtyard becomes the visual and physical link between the different volumes, providing access and connection, but offering separation and retreat when desired. The rustic gravel approach to the house meanders through the dense and dark evergreens, opening to the house and layered views of the courtyard and trees.

这座假期住宅是为多代人的家庭而设计，虽然其初衷是为两个人提供舒适的生活环境，但也足以为20个人提供相聚的空间。主体部分拥有4间卧室，此外还有一座布局紧凑的小屋，可供亲戚的孩子们或客人们居住。
The house was designed as both retreat and part-time residence for a multi-generational growing family with strong local roots going back several generations on the island. While designed to be comfortable for two, the house accommodates up to 20 people, with a four-bedroom main house and a compact bunkhouse for the many grandchildren and guests.

石砌的墙体紧贴着杉树的边缘，看上去房屋已经与森林共同生长了多年。石墙的特殊基座结合了传统干墙、管型桩和浅墙梁结构，能够根据需要横跨或避开关键的树根。树木的落叶被小心堆积在场地，可以为农场提供木材、牛群护栏和壁炉柴火。草坪边缘还设置了新的篝火休闲区。
Stones site walls were designed to slip directly adjacent to and between the Fir trees, looking as the trees grew around the walls over time. Specially engineered foundations for the stone walls used a mix of traditional stem wall, pin piles and shallow in wall beams to span over and dodge critical roots as needed. What little treefall required was carefully stored on the site, and is being used as lumber for the farm, cattle fencing and seasonal firewood for the fireplace and the new fire pit at the edge of the meadow.

可再生的天然材料和低维护成本的外墙随着时间的推移将焕发出更强烈的自然之美。材料的选择强调坚固耐用，以便在建筑的生命周期内尽可能地减少废弃物的产生。外墙的设计超出了被动式房屋在气密性上的一般标准，采用了流体的水/空气屏障和喷涂泡沫密封层。屋顶的平均隔热水平超过R-60。木制的窗户系统采用了以氩气填充的大尺寸低辐射玻璃，减少了房屋的热桥效应，平均传热系数稳定在0.28或更佳的水平。
Renewable natural materials and a low maintenance exterior, chosen to increase in natural beauty with age, emphasize durability and minimize waste stream contributions over the building’s life cycle. The building envelope is designed to exceed Passive House standards for airtightness using a fluid applied water/air barrier and spray foam air seals. The average roof insulation level exceeds R-60. The wood window system uses low-e squared, argon filled glass panes with large panes reducing thermal bridging, with an average U-value of 0.28 or better.

水平的屋顶可根据业主的需要在种植后成为绿色屋顶，从而起到减少雨水径流、净化空气、减轻城市热岛效应的作用，此外还可以提高屋顶膜材料的使用寿命。
The flat roofs are designed to be green roof ready structurally if the owner decides to move forward with the planted roofs. Green roofs reduce storm water run-off, purify the air, mitigate the urban heat island, and increase longevity of roofing membranes.
