架构师提供的文本描述。A到Z之家提出了一种替代传统方法来扩建旧式旧金山住宅的方法。坐落在金门高地的山坡上，1934年，一座朴素的单层开发商的乡土建筑空间有限，未能充分利用苏特罗大厦、金门公园、索萨利托和海湾的广阔景色。

Text description provided by the architects. The A-to- Z House proposes an alternative to conventional approaches for expanding an outmoded San Francisco home. Perched on a hillside in Golden Gate Heights, a modest single story 1934 developer vernacular structure had limited space and failed to take advantage of expansive views of Sutro Tower, Golden Gate Park, Sausalito, and the Bay.

但是，A-to-Z策略并没有取代或仅仅附加到现有的结构上，而是抓住了现有的形式-缩放、重复和操作发现的对象，形成一个上下文结构集合，构成一个沉浸在周围环境中的动态家园。

But rather than replacing or merely attaching to the existing structure, the A-to- Z strategy seizes upon the existing forms – scaling, repeating, and manipulating found objects into a contextual collection of structures comprising a dynamic home immersed in its surroundings.

在现有起居室酒吧的脊线处插入一种新的门式刚顶结构，从街道向后退，以减少质量，嵌套在现有屋顶上，建立一条低地平线。这一数据的特点是一条可操作的窗户带，它包裹着建筑物的两个角落，利用关键的景色，通过锯齿形的窗口系统和加厚的金属边缘来强调。在内部，不同的楼层和天花板高度提供了不同的方式来体验这个地平线在每一个空间，从广泛的前景和私人了望台。

A new gabled roof structure is inserted at the ridgeline of the existing living room bar, stepping back from the street to reduce mass and nestling into the existing roof to establish a low horizon line. This datum is characterized by a ribbon of operable windows that wrap two corners of the building to take advantage of critical views, accented by to a sawtooth window system and thickened metal edge. Inside, variations of the floor level and ceiling height provide different ways to experience this horizon in each space, from sweeping vista to private lookout.

当新的门廊结构到达精心建造的后院时，它绕着餐厅蜿蜒而下。这条弯弯曲曲的Z字形轴(水平和垂直交替)与现有的房子相隔很小的距离，用一束光和天花板的连接来创造出与之相似的有意义的差异。

As the new gabled structure reaches the carefully terraced back yard, it twists and wraps down around the dining room. This turn along a torqued Z-shaped axis (alternately horizontal and vertical) is held ever so slightly apart from the existing house, using a band of light and the articulation of the ceiling to create meaningful difference out of similar forms.
