The Building and the cottage

The building replaces an older, non-insulated cottage that was oriented toward the east and sat parallel to the lake.

建筑代替了旧的、朝向东侧与湖面平行联系紧密的小屋。

Some marsh had to be cleared in preparing for the building phase, exposing bedrock and thus aiding in integrating the cottage with the terrain.

在建设准备阶段，必须清除一些沼泽以暴露出基底的岩石，从而帮助把小屋与地形结合起来。

This is a typical country cottage in an English rural setting. The building owner, Sally Harper, insulated the house with natural breathable materials and other energy sufficient devices.
