*지속가능한 주거 [ Gluck+ ] House in the Mountains

록키산맥의 멋진 풍경에 둘러싸인 게스트 하우스는 풀로 뒤덮힌 지붕으로 보다 자연스러운 풍경을 보여준다.

하우스는 크고 넓은 창을 품어 거주자를 위한 풍경을 담아주는 노력도 잊지 않았다.

두 개의 직사각형으로 조형된 미니멀한 디자인은 내추럴한 우드에 투명한 유리를 더함으로서 단아해진다.

게다가 화학에너지가 아닌 일명 스마트 솔라 시스템을 도입하여 집과 수영장, 스파를 순환하는  에너지 체계를 만들고 저장

보일러를 별도로 설치하여 여름과 겨울의 거주에 편리한 환경을 조성하였다.

Houses embedded in the earth are becoming a specialty of Gluck+, the New York architect-led design-build firm formerly known as Peter Gluck and Partners. The reasons are compelling–the grass roofs reduce energy loads and their low profile doesn't impinge on the natural landscape. In the case of a 2,850-square-foot guesthouse in the Colorado Rocky Mountains, the clients, for whom Gluck had designed a main house on the site in 2004, wanted a separate structure to be located on property to the south between a creek and an access road. But they didn't want it to interfere with the splendid mountain vista they had from the main house. “So many views are destroyed by plunking buildings on top of the land,” says Gluck.

The architects configured the guesthouse as two rectilinear steel-framed bars that intersect; the primary one contains open living and dining spaces, with a roof gradually rising to the south at a 20-degree angle. The volume seems to collide with and lift over a rectilinear structure running east–west on a diagonal, which contains three bedrooms and the garage. A wall of solar panels on the south elevation of the bedroom wing supplies heat for the house and swimming pool.

The living and dining areas, anchored by a bluestone fireplace wall on the north, open out through glazed doors to the pool on the east and a private, sunken, triangular courtyard on the west. Cor-Ten clads the courtyard's slanted retaining wall, into which an outdoor fireplace is carved. Just beneath the Cor-Ten fascia of the house's roofs, clerestories frame panoramic views of the mountains. “It's become more than a guesthouse,” says Gluck. “It's a communal space for the family.”
