架构师提供的文本描述。这个私人天文台位于新罕布什尔州中部一座偏僻的山顶上。该遗址的特征是花岗岩露头，位于半径三英里半径“黑暗”景观的中心，光污染很小，不妨碍天文观测。

Text description provided by the architects. This private astronomical observatory is located on a remote mountain summit in central New Hampshire. The site is characterized by granite outcroppings and is situated at the center of a three-mile radius “dark” landscape with very little light pollution to obstruct astronomical viewing.

杰玛的设计摒弃了传统的穹顶，而是采用了一种综合建筑形式，最大限度地利用了可用空间，并对严酷的地理环境做出了反应。它的连续面的形状反映了周围的地形，梯田混凝土平台之间的山顶基岩和建筑基础之间的过渡，编织在一起的自然和人为景观。一种非常规的锁缝锌包层模式介于不规则的场地地形和建筑物的几何图形之间，反映了伽玛对地质和天体地标的定位。它的尺寸、颜色和云母与灰色花岗岩露头有物质关系，而其传热能力则通过将温差畸变降到最低，方便了天空观测。

Gemma’s design rejects a traditional dome in favor of a synthesized architectural form that maximizes usable space and responds to the stark geographic context. Its continuously faceted shape reflects the surrounding landform, and terraced concrete platforms transition between the summit’s bedrock and the building foundation, knitting together natural and man-made landscapes. An unconventional pattern of lock-seamed zinc cladding mediates between the irregular site topography and the building’s geometry, reflecting Gemma’s orientation to both geological and celestial landmarks. Its dimension, color, and patina evoke a material relationship to the gray granite outcroppings, while its heat transfer capability facilitates sky observation by minimizing temperature differential distortion.
