Mountain House II

This house was commissioned as a primary residence by a family of four moving to France from the UK. It is located in the lower Alps, a more rural landscape than ski-oriented regions.
这座房子是由一家四口从英国搬到法国的人委托建造的主要住宅。它位于下阿尔卑斯山，与滑雪为主的地区相比，这里的风景更具有乡村魅力。

The house needed to capture the surrounding landscape, provide generous spaces inside but appear contained from the outside. Our initial design (of a single pitched roof, reminiscent of 1950s regional constructions) was rejected despite several revisions & iterations, on the basis that all new construction had to have double pitched roofs to make them look more vernacular.
这座房子需要捕捉周围的景观，在内部提供宽敞的空间，但从外部看似乎是封闭的。我们最初的设计（单坡屋顶，让人想起20世纪50年代的地区建筑）尽管经过多次修改和反复，但还是被拒绝了，因为所有新建筑都必须有双坡屋顶，以使其看起来更具地方特色。

The building code however stated that under certain conditions of sustainable design, a flat roof would be allowed. We seized the opportunity to express the changing climate context (snow precipitation has become less frequent, flat roofs have therefore become a viable option from a structural point of view) and contribute to rejuvenating the Alpine design typology.
然而，建筑规范规定，在可持续设计的某些条件下，可以使用平屋顶。我们抓住了这个机会来表达不断变化的气候背景（雪降水已经变得不那么频繁，因此从结构角度来看，平顶屋顶已经成为一种可行的选择），并为复兴阿尔卑斯山设计类型做出了贡献。
