设计特色：      

项目 – 坐落在安大略省乡村葱郁风景中的"森林度假屋"，由Kariouk建筑事务所设计，重新定义了当代加拿大乡间别墅的概念。这座令人印象深刻的住宅，建筑面积达957平方米，为一个希望重拾根源、沉浸于当地自然美景的家庭提供了宽敞的庇护所。

项目最引人注目的特色是其宏伟的铜质屋顶，延伸长达60米，与场地地形完美融合。这个帐篷般的结构不仅为住宅提供了视觉焦点，还创造了室内外空间的无缝衔接。建筑师巧妙地平衡了现代设计原则与温馨亲密感，避免了常见于当代建筑的冷淡盒状形态。

可持续性和环保意识是设计的核心。房屋战略性地位于一个现有的山顶空地上，保护了周围100英亩的森林、草地和湿地。这种方法不仅最大限度地减少了项目对生态的影响，还将房主转变为当地生态系统的守护者。

室内布局促进了家庭成员间的亲密互动，开放式设计鼓励交流，同时仍提供私密空间。悬挑的儿童卧室区域增添了建筑的趣味性，通过一条横跨中央空间的空中走廊可以到达。

通过采用本地材料和突出工艺技巧，"森林度假屋"为乡村风格提供了一种当代诠释，既传承了加拿大丰富的建筑传统，又拥抱了现代可持续技术。

Feature：

Project - Nestled in the verdant landscapes of rural Ontario, the Forest Retreat House by Kariouk Architects redefines the concept of a contemporary Canadian homestead. This impressive 10,300 square foot residence, completed in 2021, serves as a spacious sanctuary for a family seeking to reconnect with their roots and immerse themselves in the natural beauty of the region.

The project's most striking feature is its expansive copper-clad roof, which extends for 60 meters and follows the site's topography. This tent-like structure not only provides a visual anchor for the home but also creates a seamless flow between indoor and outdoor spaces. The architects have masterfully balanced modern design principles with a sense of warmth and intimacy, avoiding the sterile box-like forms often associated with contemporary architecture.

Sustainability and environmental consciousness are at the forefront of the design. The house is strategically positioned on an existing cleared hilltop, preserving the surrounding 100 acres of forest, meadows, and wetlands. This approach not only minimizes the project's ecological impact but also transforms the homeowners into custodians of the local ecosystem.

The interior layout promotes family togetherness, with an open-plan design that encourages interaction while still providing private spaces. A dramatic suspended volume housing the children's bedrooms adds an element of architectural intrigue, accessible via a catwalk that traverses the home's central space.

By incorporating locally sourced materials and celebrating craftsmanship, the Forest Retreat House offers a contemporary interpretation of rusticity that honors Canada's rich architectural heritage while embracing modern sustainable technologies.
