Fire Island, New York 火岛，纽约
This first house built on the dunes on Lonelyville, a once remote area of the western end of Fire Island, was conceived in the greatest simplicity as an assembly of precut parts. It suggests the source of later investigations with building systems for inexpensive repetitive structures using mass produced or prefabricated parts.
Precut posts, roof, and floor beams are repetitive elements in five structural bays that raise 1,425 square feet of living space above hurricane water. The fourteen posts rest on concrete foundation piers.
This house was constructed for $11,000 by a Michigan firm which had built only log houses. The lumber was precut and transported to Long Island from Michigan by truck with a team of six men who had completed construction over the course of nine days. One of the important factors permitting such rapid construction was the use of tongue-and-grooved solid lumber panels for the walls, rather than the conventional “stud wall” construction.
The house is open toward both ocean and bay. The open walls consist of oversize screen and glass panels, some of them opening as doors providing access to the porch and deck that offer views of the ocean and the Great South Bay.
位于纽约火岛西端孤僻之地的兰伯特海滨别墅，是由迈耶设计的首座沙丘房屋。以简单的预切木构件作为组合，房屋有五个结构隔间，由预切的柱子、屋顶和地板梁构成。14个柱子放在混凝土地基上，将1425平方英尺的居住空间抬高到飓风水平以上。这座房子是由一家仅建造原木房屋的密歇根公司建造的，耗资1.1万美元。木材经过预切后，由一支由6个人组成的团队用卡车从密歇根州运到长岛，经过9天的施工，完成了建造。墙壁使用的是凹槽实心木板，而不是传统的立柱墙结构，这是实现快速建造的一个重要因素。房子面向海洋和海湾，开放式的墙壁由超大的屏幕和玻璃面板组成，其中一些可以作为门打开，通向可以欣赏到大西洋和大南湾全景的门廊和甲板。
一座开创性的房子为火岛上的现代主义设计树立了持久的基准。
Lambert 住宅是火岛西端曾经偏远的 Lonelyville 的沙丘上建造的第一座房屋，Richard Meier 的开创性设计对该地区后来的住宅设计产生了深远的影响长达半个多世纪。
这座房子以最简单的方式构想为预切木构件的组合，这些构件被组织成一个由五个结构隔间组成的严格简单的组合。房子两边都是开放的，结合了大玻璃面板和宽敞的甲板，这将成为迈尔住宅设计的标志，可以欣赏到大西洋和大南湾的全景。
这座房子是由一个六人团队在九天内建造的，使用的是密歇根州的预切木材，然后用卡车运到长岛。Meier 为墙壁设计的系统和凹槽实心木板取代了传统的立柱墙结构，从而实现了这种快速建造。
