On November 12, 2015 at the Seaport Boston Hotel and World Trade Center in Boston, Engineering News-Record New England held the ENR Best Projects Award Breakfast to honor this year’s winners. Summer Star’s Trailhead House was chosen as the winner of the Best Small Project award. Read an excerpt from ENR below.

夏日星辰野生動物保護園的園區入口屋贏得ENR最佳小型項目獎，2015年11月12日時，在波士頓世貿中心的海港酒店舉行的紐英崙工程新聞紀錄的頒獎早餐會中領獎。

“Given the sanctuary’s mission to preserve the natural environment, the project team integrated nature into the building’s design and construction. Along with the limitations of a tight 3,000-sq-ft footprint and the need to protect the surrounding two acres of forest, the building twists and turns with the landscape. The use of 3D modeling helped the project team coordinate between different disciplines and preview the effect of structural members and framing patterns.
保護園的使命是要保護自然環境，項目小組把大自然整合進樓宇設計及建築中。一方面把面積限制在3000平方英尺內，同時顧及保護兩英畝森林的需要，這棟園區入口樓改變了那兒的整個景觀。他們利用三維模型來協助不同專業的項目團隊合作，並預覽結構及框架模式的效果。

The building’s structural complexity required equally complex and customized construction details, including the handcrafted timber framing and custom-cut cedar detail installation on the building’s interior and exterior. The 30-foot-tall Tree Room’s exterior glazed walls—comprised of vertical steel—are held plumb by exposed wood, not steel, as in typical construction.”
這登山入口樓的結構複雜性，和定做建築細節同樣複雜，包括手工彫製的木框，按裝在樓宇內外，照要求切割的雪松等等。這座30英呎高樹屋外的閃亮牆壁，是由垂直鋼條組成，由外露的木頭支撐，而不像傳統建築那樣是用鋼。
