纽约州的卡茨基尔山区，拥有占地15540平方公里的山脉、河流、森林和草原，这里冒险与宁静并存，精致佳肴与家常美食、令人屏息的远景与横架在潺潺流水之上的雅致棚桥，无不令人感叹这片边境地区的壮美。城市居民被卡茨基尔所吸引，这里有更多自由空间，逃离城市的忙碌生活，在旷野中寻得一瞬宁静。
The Catskill Mountains in upstate New York, just a few hours’ drive from New York City offers clear water in the summer, fall foliage in October and great skiing opportunities in the winter, so it is no surprise that New Yorkers have escaped to nature in the Catskills for decades.

托比亚斯山建造的梦想之所
Mount Tobias
曼哈顿夫妇 Maria和Todd与他们的两个女儿Inez和Luz住在下东区。他们在自己的公司IDS/R Architecture担任建筑师，该公司成立于2000年。10年来，一家四口一直在山上徒步旅行，荒野的宁静和与曼哈顿日常的喧嚣形成了对比。于是，他们决定在大自然中找到恢复精神能量的理想场所——在纽约卡茨基尔的托比亚斯山建造了梦想中的乡村家园。
The architect couple who run their own New York City firm, IdS/R Architecture, decided to build their own country retreat in New York’s Catskill Mountains after 10 years of travelling to the mountainous region to hike in the fresh air and unplug with their two teenage daughters, Inez and Luz. After 10 years of frequently hiking in the Catskill mountains, a Manhattan-based family of four found the perfect spot to refresh their spirits to the sound of nature.

可持续节能设计保证生态环境平衡
Solar Energy
坐落于丛林中的可持续卡茨基尔小屋，仿照传统的长屋布局，该结构有一个中央起居空间，两端设有卧室，多用途阁楼空间堆叠在它们之上。这座房子历时一年多，分为上下两层，由SIP（预制结构绝缘板）组成。对于建筑师来说，避免砍伐树木很重要，同时也能让建筑物将与周围环境融为一体。于是，它建在两条溪流上方的钢架平台上，这样可以最大限度地减少他们必须清除的树木数量，保证周边的生态环境平衡。房子里的内部配套采用VIPP经典的工业设计系列，包括灯、床单、羊毛地毯、枕头和陶瓷。以及一个独立的黑色VIPP不锈钢厨房柜台，作为整个空间设计不可或缺的一部分，用以贯穿可持续发展的生态设计主题。
Modelled after a traditional longhouse layout, the ground floor has two bedrooms and two bathrooms at either end of the house, and a living room, dining area and open-plan kitchen.

房子俯瞰着林地——内部和外部的颜色被选择与户外融合。为此，整个主层都铺有像岩石一样的大象灰色的萨米特维尔采石场瓷砖，工业风落地台灯为空间增添更多利落美感。
Since the house overlooks woodland, Ibañez de Sendadiano and Rouhe chose interior and exterior colours that blend with the outdoors, while they chose a grey rock-like quarry tile for the entire main floor.

在全自然环境中寻找完美厨房方案
Great Kitchen
房子的北端通向厨房，由于生活空间是全开放的，这对夫妻一直在精心研究，以寻找完美的厨房。一种不影响房间宽敞或极简主义的设计解决方案，他们希望它适应宽敞的房间，而不影响落地窗户外的风景。Vipp制造的独立厨房中岛，随意搭配组合的厨房模块，为开放性空间展示了更多美学可能，并且配有水槽、洗碗机和电磁炉。黑色粉末涂层饰面更加适于户外多变化性的使用环境，对抗阳光暴晒和雨水腐蚀，均能保持初现之姿，展现出钢铁恒久的坚韧品质。
The couple wanted the kitchen to adapt to the spacious room, making sure to keep window views unobstructed and their search for such a kitchen led them to the freestanding Vipp V1 kitchen. The couple have designed and built their kitchen table of birch plywood and an anodized aluminum base themselves. The table stands next to a built-in pantry with drawers of unfinished birch ply and white doors.

卧室采用落叶松木镶板，营造出现代主义小屋的感觉，VIPP工业壁灯保留金属最原始的形态，无任何流行性元素，成为小屋中久经不衰的经典之缀。通过楼梯进入，房子南端的阁楼配有Maria和Todd为该空间设计的橱柜级别桦木层沙发床。它们可以在来客人时随时拼接，以成为更大的床。对于Todd和 Maria来说，这座两层楼的长屋，就像一座童话般的小屋，坐落在树林中间。在初秋，依然能感受到大自然的木质和乡土间传递给我们的温暖。
Here, they built their very own two-story longhouse.And that is exactly what Maria Ibañez de Sendadiano and Todd Rouhe decided to do in 2018.
