设计特色：      

项目 – 这座山间住宅及作家隐居休养之所毫无保留地融入弗吉尼亚州蓝岭山脉起伏的山坡地，布局由一个单一的走廊连接起形态各异的多个模组，机智地贴合着山顶地貌的轮廓。建筑这种简约中包含的巧思在于，它让周遭壮美的景色成为绝对主角，仅以防水灰泥和金属屋顶这些极简的材料作为点缀。建筑的窗户设计更是个性十足，它们在视觉上串联起内部各个房间，在望向山林和开阔草原时形成一种迷人的望远镜效应。配以当地产的皂石和竹木等自然材质，这些定制化的建筑构件为室内空间增添了丰富的质感。而整个建筑的亮点则是那如诗如画般舒展流动的金属屋顶，它起伏的线条映衬着周遭山峦，仿佛轻柔而坚固的披风，将这座现代主义风格的休憩之所拥入山腰。毋庸置疑，这是设计团队对生物性设计理念的一次出色诠释。

团队 – 美国SCHAUM/SHIEH建筑设计工作室于2009年由Rosalyne Shieh和Troy Schaum在纽约和休斯顿两地创立，是一家小型的建筑设计工作室，主要探索艺术、形式和城市空间的交汇点。他们曾完成从建筑、装置到理论探索的各类项目，并在实践中培养了兼具理论实验和现实转化特质的创作对话。SCHAUM/SHIEH 曾入围 2017 年 MoMA PS1 青年建筑师计划决赛，荣获 AIA 2016 年纽约新实践奖，并被纽约建筑联盟评为 2019 年新兴声音之一。事务所的作品尺度广泛，有在底特律、纽约、马法、休斯顿和弗吉尼亚完成或正在施工的项目，如此多样性的设计实践彰显了这个小型工作室独特的设计视角。

Feature：

Project - Unfolding over a lush Allegheny Mountain slope in western Virginia, the Shenandoah Writer's Retreat designed by SCHAUM/SHIEH epitomizes organic architecture with its harmonious integration into the dramatic topography. The 2,750 square foot home's elongated plan consisting of irregular pods connected by a single corridor ingeniously embraces the contours of the hilltop site, while creating intimate pockets of gardens and outdoor nooks between each room on both sides. The genius of the design lies in its simplicity - a restrained material palette of insulated stucco and metal roofing allows the surrounding landscape to shine as the main feature. Strategically placed windows visually connect the interior rooms through a fascinating telescope effect, focusing views on either the dense forest or the open meadows. The custom quasi-furniture objects adding unique texture demonstrate admirable attention to detail, with locally-sourced materials like soapstone and bamboo adding a touch of nature inside.

But the pièce de résistance is the sensuous folding metal roof whose undulations mirror the surrounding slopes to poetic effect. Coupling pliability and durability, the roof formally and spatially ties together the home’s sprawling horizontality, almost like a gently protective mantle enveloping the writer's retreat into the mountainside. An inspiring slice of modern architecture in harmony with the ancient Allegheny ridges, SCHAUM/SHIEH's latest creation promises to be the archetype of biophilic design.

Design Team - Established in 2009 between Houston and New York City by Rosalyne Shieh and Troy Schaum, SCHAUM/SHIEH is a small architectural collaboration exploring the intersection of art, form and the urban fabric. Across projects spanning buildings, installations and speculative visions, they have nurtured a creative dialogue grounded in theoretical experimentation yet transformational in built reality. Operating at varying scales, their distinct sensibility shines through completed and ongoing commissions in Detroit, New York, Marfa, Houston and Virginia.
