Difference from Modern Rustic: There Are Mountains Here

A mountain interior inseparable from its site. Modern rustic speaks of the juxtaposition of rough materials and precise craftsmanship, which can occur anywhere. Mountain modern, however, is tied to its location: outside the window, one must see coniferous forests, rock faces, or distant snow-capped peaks. The interior stone comes from around the site, the wood is local Douglas fir, and even the floor plan steps back following the contours. Without the mountains outside the window, this style simply doesn't exist. Avoid: having urban and flat landscapes outside the window, using imported stone unrelated to the region, making the house a box that can be moved to any site, and treating the mountain view merely as a background texture.

一個離不開基地的山居室內。現代質樸講的是粗材與精準加工的並置,可以發生在任何地方;山居現代則被地點綁死:窗外一定看得到針葉林、岩壁或遠處的雪峰,室內的石材來自基地周邊、木材是當地的道格拉斯冷杉,連平面都順著等高線退台。拿掉窗外的山,這個風格就不成立。避免:讓窗外是都市與平地、使用與地域無關的進口石材、把房子做成可以搬到任何基地的盒子、把山景只當成一張背景貼圖。
