摄影：James Steeves这座美丽的住宅设计宽12英尺，长110英尺，它和周围自然和文化的氛围很好的结合在了一起。建造面积为4英亩，三面环海，住宅不算精美的外观衬托着周围的环境。住宅外观的材质是标准工业化有波纹的铝锌合金镀层。地基的上层混凝土线提高，是为了避免寒冷的气候以及建筑方面所花费的相对高额的成本。重型的水泥楼梯可以保护建筑不受到来自大海的盛行西风的影响。

屋顶从南端斜向上，雨水穿过一系列的生活空间，从车库到入口大厅，再到厨房、起居室和悬臂式的屋檐。该管道上面的图腾元素使得这个管道显得很特别，它可以进行弯曲，用于各种地方(桥梁、井、灶台、行价以及南面的窗户)。

建筑在主要生活区域建造了一个护墙板，一层有三个卧室，主人卧室和书房在第二层的阁楼里面。分层式的墙壁和天花板使平台框架显露出来。

住宅还利用了积极的环保方法，进行供暖和通风。Architects: Brian MacKay-Lyons Urban Design

The modest house is a 12 foot wide, 110 foot long wall playing a didactic role within both the natural and cultural landscapes. It sits on a four acre field surrounded by the sea on three sides. Its ‘rough-and-ready’ wrapper is in keeping with the dog-patch-like cultural landscape context. The exterior skin is standard, industrial, corrugated galvalume. The top-of-concrete line of the foundation is raised, expressing the relatively high cost of getting out of the ground in cold climates and forming a horizontal datum against the opposing slopes of land and roof. A heavy, concrete stair bump is a protective gesture against the prevailing westerly winds coming off of the sea.

The monolithic, monopitch roof climbs to the south and the water covering one continuous, unobstructed living space progressing from garage, to entry court, to kitchen, living and cantilevered deck. This tube is punctuated by totemic elements which inflect it and provide comfort and place-making (bridge, well, hearth, truss, south window). The spatial reading of the concrete foundation makes a wainscoting sill in the main living area. Three bedrooms occupy the lower level, while a master bedroom/study occupies a second floor loft. Delaminated walls and ceiling expose conventional platform framing. The house exploits a passive environmental approach to heating and ventilation.
