架构师提供的文本描述。这是一个五口之家的周末住所。该地段在海滨，但非常小，远离街道，并有许多法规规定的面积和高度限制。我们面临的挑战是创造一种开放的、光线充足的东西，利用它美丽的环境，同时利用法律允许的每一平方英寸的可建造面积。

Text description provided by the architects. This is a weekend residence for a family of five. The lot is on the beachfront, but is very small, tucked away from the street, and had many code-regulated square-footage and height restrictions. The challenge was to create something open and light-filled that takes advantage of its beautiful setting, yet uses every available square inch of buildable area allowed by law.

这座房子最初是在2012年设计的，飓风桑迪横扫该地区，造成严重破坏和海滩侵蚀时，建筑工程才刚刚开始。此后不久，联邦应急管理局改变了所有关于海滨房屋的规定，要求“从头开始”重新设计整个房子。显然，客户并不高兴，而是理解，我们按照新的规定重新设计了设计。这是唯一的现代住宅，在海滩港湾，是按照这些新的规则设计，和一个模型的房子可以抵抗风和风暴潮，但仍然保持了非常美观的吸引力。

The house was initially designed in 2012, and construction had just begun when Hurricane Sandy swept through the area causing major damage and beach erosion. Shortly thereafter, FEMA changed all the regulations regarding beachfront houses, which required a “start from scratch” redesign of the whole house. The clients, obviously, were not happy, but understanding, and we reworked the design in accordance with the new regulations. It is the only modern house in Beach Haven that was designed in accordance with these new rules, and a model for how a house can be resistant to winds and storm surge, yet still remain very aesthetically appealing.

许多(如果不是大多数)房屋建造的现行法规在海岸基本上是传统的风格，在桩上架设到所需的洪水位。即使桩被面板覆盖，比例也往往不讨人喜欢，而且显得笨拙或特别。我们与海滩港湾的意图是接受这样一个事实，那就是房子必须被架设在基本的电线杆上，然后把它们作为主要的设计部件来表达和强调。

Many (if not most) houses built to current regulations on the coast are basically traditional styles, elevated on pilings to the required flood level. Even when the pilings are covered with panels, the proportions often are not pleasing, and they appear awkward or ad-hoc. Our intent with the Beach Haven house was to embrace the fact that the house had to be elevated on what are basically telephone poles driven into the sand, and use these as major design components, to be expressed and highlighted.
