這座位于23，226平方米森林中的住宅，專為一個都市家庭而設(shè)計，他們渴望擁有一處現(xiàn)代化的居所，不僅能增強與自然的聯(lián)系，還能作為寧靜的避風港，以便家庭成員重新建立彼此間的親密關(guān)系，同時享受獨處時光。

在最初的概念探索中，建筑師們以敏感而細致的方法將自然元素引入室內(nèi)，而業(yè)主則回憶起自己在果園環(huán)境中度過的生動童年。蘋果樹不僅是他早期接觸自然的重要象征，也是他與孩子們共同采摘蘋果這一傳統(tǒng)活動的延續(xù)，這種經(jīng)歷使得他們能夠在大自然懷抱中共享美好時光。由此，蘋果樹迅速成為他們共同愿景的一部分，并構(gòu)成該項目的核心。

通過融入蘋果樹，主人家庭得以滿足對自然親近感的渴求，這種體驗通過日常情緒變化、季節(jié)更迭及其相關(guān)天氣條件而實現(xiàn)。孩子們和家長們學習如何照料蘋果樹：觀察其成長、修剪枝葉、防治潛在病害，并欣賞花朵與果實。這種互動確保了周圍自然環(huán)境不再只是被動美麗，而是成為家庭日常生活的重要組成部分，使人們意識到自然脆弱性及其在人類生活中的重要角色。同時，它也提供了一個活生生的例證，表明人類可以并且必須（重新）學習與自然和諧共存的基本原則。

為了將蘋果樹有效地融入設(shè)計，以滿足家庭希望模糊室內(nèi)外界限的愿望，ACDF將透明度和開放性作為建筑理念基礎(chǔ)：打造一座現(xiàn)代簡約風格的玻璃房屋。設(shè)計始于兩塊簡單混凝土板，通過堅固鋁合金框架包裹，從而明確結(jié)構(gòu)水平界限。在中心位置，為方便重新栽植蘋果樹而設(shè)立開口，以最大程度增加光線透射，并營造出仰視天空及樹冠之視覺效果。

隨后，在水平平面之間插入三個獨立的木質(zhì)箱體，每個箱體略微突出，各自具備獨特功能。箱體設(shè)計理念清晰明確，ACDF通過拉伸、壓縮和重塑這些箱體，以精確滿足預期功能需求。其中一個箱體用于容納住宅車庫及服務(wù)設(shè)施；第二個箱體則用于孩子們的臥室和浴室。第三個盒子構(gòu)成了主套房，由臥室、私人休息室和浴室組成。每個單獨的盒子都提供了一個舒適的私人空間，遠離了家庭主要生活空間的公共氛圍，但它們都保持了與外部自然環(huán)境和家庭內(nèi)部空間的視覺聯(lián)系，這些空間穿過一個開放的中央庭院，是蘋果樹的家園。

Built on a 250，000 sq. ft. forested plot， the urban family wanted a modern home to enhance their communion with nature， both internally and externally， while serving as a peaceful retreat enabling family members to reconnect with each other， and also enjoy solitary moments.

During the very first explorations of the concept， the architects sought a sensitive approach to drawing nature inside of the house， while the owner embraced vivid childhood memories of growing up in an orchard environment. The apple tree was symbolic of his earliest encounters with nature as a child， and of the continuity of that connection years later while picking apples with his own children， part of an enduring tradition of quality time spent with the family in nature’s embrace. The apple tree was instantly incorporated into their collective vision， becoming the core of the project.

The integration of the apple tree enabled the host family to enjoy a much-desired connection with nature， played out through intimate relationships with various moods of the day， changing seasons， and weather conditions associated with each season. The children learned， and the parents relearned， how to care for the apple tree; watching it grow， trimming its branches， pre-emptively treating it for threatening diseases， and admiring its blossoms and its bearing of fruit. That relationship ensures that the surrounding nature of the house becomes so much more than just a spectacle of passive beauty. It has become a fixture of the family’s everyday lives， and it contributes to the awareness of nature's fragility and vital role on this planet. It serves as a living example of how humans can， and must， （re）learn the fundamentals of cohabitation with nature.

In order to integrate the apple tree in a manner that addressed the family’s desire to blur the lines between the interior of the house and its external natural beauty， ACDF focused on transparency and openness as the foundations of the obvious choice for the architectural concept： A modernist and minimalist glass house. The firm’s design began with a simple placement of two concrete slabs， clad in solid aluminum frames， to define the horizontal limits of the structure. In the center， to enable the replanting of the apple tree， an opening was created to maximize light penetration and frame views toward the sky and the treetops.

Three individual wooden boxes were then inserted between the horizontal planes， each slightly protruding， and each was designed for its own unique purpose. The concept for the boxes was clear， and ACDF pushed， pulled， and reshaped them in order to precisely accommodate their envisioned functions. One box houses the garage and servicing area of the home， and the second box is dedicated to the bedrooms and bathrooms of the client’s children. The third box frames the master suite， comprised of a bedroom， a private lounge， and a bathroom. Each of the individual boxes offers a cozy， private retreat from the communal ambiance of the home’s main living space， yet they all maintain visual connections both to the natural setting outside and to the home’s internal spaces across an open central courtyard that is home to the apple tree.
