Horizon是在猶他州Powder Mountain上海拔2743米處建造的首個預先設計的社區。它包括30個麵積從93到279平方米不等的小屋，以及許多巧妙布置的車庫，還有一個名為“先鋒小屋”的公共小屋供房主們使用。買主可以從四種房屋類型中選擇，這些房屋有的模仿山羊的輪廓，有的是交叉紋理，像極限滑雪者一樣從山腰突出。然後為每位房主定製小屋。具有主題的多變策略與劇烈起伏的地形相結合，使得整個社區既有很強的統一感，又有豐富的多樣性。前八個小屋現已完工，隨後的單元正在建設中。
Horizon is the first pre-designed neighborhood to be built at 9,000 feet elevation on Powder Mountain, Utah. It consists of 30 cabins ranging in size from 1,000- 3,000 square feet, along with a series of strategically placed garages, and a communal lodge called the ‘Pioneer Cabin’ for the use of the homeowners. Buyers choose from four typologies, which either follow the contours like mountain goats, or are cross-grain, projecting off the mountainside like extreme skiers. The cabins are then customized for each owner. The theme and variation strategy, in combination with the dramatic topography, results in a neighborhood that has a powerful sense of both unity and variety. The first eight cabins are now complete, with subsequent units under construction.
SummitSeries是一個雄心勃勃的演講者計劃，吸引了一群來自各個領域的創新者和具有社會影響力的投資者。新村莊是它的基地，也是協會價值觀的建築化表達，即社區建設、氣候回應和土地管理。這裏不是一個滑雪旅遊區，而是一個經過詳細規劃的社區，提供給企業家和創意人員來共同努力應對全球的挑戰。
Commissioned as a home base for Summit Series, an ambitious speaker program that attracts a community of innovators and social impact investors from a broad range of fields, this new village is an architectural expression of Summit’s values: community building, climate responsiveness and land stewardship. This isn’t another ski resort, but rather a planned community for entrepreneurs and creatives working together to address global challenges.
小屋圍繞庭院聚集，綜合考慮了社交和隱私，以促進人們的偶遇和社交互動。從車庫出發，經過小屋和橋下的經曆就像是遊戲“蛇與梯子”。建築和橋的選址也經過精心設計，以最大限度地減少對鄰近單元的視線幹擾，同時框出沒有視線阻隔的西南方日落景觀。
The cabins are aggregated around courtyards in a way that maximizes both community and privacy to foster chance meetings and social interactions. The experience of passing from garages, between units and under bridges is like a game of ‘Snakes and Ladders’. The siting of the buildings and bridges was also carefully organized to minimize views into neighboring units, while framing unobstructed, southwest sunset views.
氣候回應措施包括被動式的朝向確定，同時使用了蓄熱混凝土地板和循環地暖。鋼製支柱使建築物輕盈地立於脆弱的高寒荒漠景觀中。另一方麵，一群被保護的庭院在開闊的、常有大風的景觀中創造了微氣候。密集的社區將使Powder Mountain上約46.5平方公裏的大部分地區保持未開發狀態，為後代保護下來。
Climate responsiveness begins with passive solar orientation, combined with thermal mass concrete floors and hydronic-in-floor heating. The steel stilts make the buildings light on the fragile high desert landscape. A series of protected courtyards create micro-climates in an otherwise open, windswept landscape. The dense neighborhood will allow the majority of Powder Mountain’s 11,500 acres to remain undeveloped, and conserved for future generations.
小屋與Mountain West的度假景點裏常見的誇張建築形成鮮明對比。受到下部的Eden山穀中雪鬆穀倉的啟發，每間小屋均由雪鬆屋頂和垂直搭建的雪鬆牆構成。鋁合金木窗和雪鬆木內飾完善了被委托人稱作“現代遺產”的整體雕塑效果。這裏年降雪量極高，故小屋入口位於二層，通過鋼橋進入，Powder Mountain也正是因此得名。
MacKay-Lyons Sweetapple’s modest cabins stand in contrast to the excessive architecture that is now typical of resorts in the Mountain West. Each cabin consists of a cedar-shingled roof and vertical shiplap cedar walls inspired by the cedar clad barns of the Eden valley below. Aluminum-clad wood windows, and cedar interiors complete the monolithic sculptural effect called ‘Heritage Modern’ by the clients. The cabins are accessed on the second floor via steel bridges due to the extremely high annual snowfall that gives Powder Mountain its name.
MacKay-LyonsSweetapple自去年在丹佛開設衛星工作室以來，目前有許多在美項目在建，而這是首個完工的項目。他們的做法十分出名，即吸收當地建築實踐和材料文化，適應當地氣候和景觀，來創造具有適應性、典型特質和普遍共鳴的現代建築。類似的村莊建造項目包括位於安大略省馬斯科卡Bigwin島、布雷頓角Margaree的Golden Groves以及大西洋邊緣的新斯科舍省的Shobac農場上的小屋集群。
This is MacKay-Lyons Sweetapple’s first completed project of many currently in construction in the United States since opening a satellite studio in Denver last year. The practice is well known for drawing on regional building practices and material culture, and looking to local climate and landscape, to create responsive contemporary architecture that expresses archetypal qualities and universal resonance. Similar village making projects include a recent collection of cabins on Bigwin Island in Muskoka, Ontario, Golden Groves at Margaree in Cape Breton, and Shobac Farm in Nova Scotia, on the edge of the Atlantic Ocean.
