架构师提供的文本描述。在多层城市住宅中，往往很难创造一种开放和连续性的感觉。通过允许这个三层结构的楼梯在每一层自由地移动位置-定义一个持续的空间流动和移动-我们把这个挑战放在它的头上，把平淡无奇的楼梯提升到关键的建筑和家庭的统一特征。

Text description provided by the architects. It is often difficult to create a sense of openness and continuity in multi-level urban homes. By allowing the staircases of this three-story structure the freedom to shift location on each level -- defining a continuous flow of space and movement -- we turn this challenge on its head, elevating the prosaic stairwell into the key architectural and unifying feature of the home.

在这个四层的项目中，一系列的楼梯井把你从花园的下层带到最上面的屋顶甲板，每一个都被当作雕塑的对象，内部楼梯均匀地覆盖在裂谷切割的白橡树中。在每个层次上，我们都允许楼梯找到自己最好的位置，对垂直路径的概念开放，这种垂直路径以一种更多的景观，少一些城市的方式蜿蜒穿过家园。

In this four-level project, a series of stairwells take you from the lower garden level to the uppermost roof deck, each treated as a sculptural object and with the interior stairs uniformly clad in rift-cut white oak. On each level we permitted the stair to find its own best location, open to the concept of a vertical path which meanders through the home in a way that is more landscape, less urban.

虽然居住空间经常被紧致的城市场地压缩，但这个蜿蜒曲折的楼梯井在功能、视觉和空间上将家庭结合在一起，使它感觉比实际大得多。

Although the living spaces are often compressed by the tight urban site, this meandering stairwell unites the home functionally, visually, and spatially, making it feel much larger than it really is.

我们举起了一个面积为850平方英尺的维多利亚女王，并在下面插入了一个新的车库和一层楼。但我们的解决方案有点激进；考虑到我们下坡的机会，我们在一个非常陡峭的坡道上建立了一个两辆车的车库，以便腾出新的街道面积，供急需的家庭居住空间使用。这一逻辑而又独特的举动启动了一系列定义项目的进一步的体系结构决策。

We lifted a diminutive, 850 square foot Queen Anne Victorian and inserted a new garage and ground floor underneath. But our solution was somewhat more radical; given the opportunities of our down-sloping site, we created a two-car garage on a very steep ramp in order to free up the new street-level area for much needed family living space. This logical yet idiosyncratic move set in motion a series of further architectural decisions that define the project.

起居室里巨大规模的体育场楼梯实际上隐藏了下面的停车坡道，为狭长的客厅创造了额外的社交空间。对我们来说，过度的楼梯在积极的方面可能是“奇怪的”；很明显，它的存在可能有一些隐藏的原因，但完全不清楚它是否源于对路边停车的平淡无奇的渴望。这个楼梯就成了整个项目的主题。

The hugely over-scaled stadium staircase in the living room actually hides the parking ramp below, creating additional social space for the long and narrow living room. For us, the over-scaled staircase is perhaps "odd" in a positive way; it is clear that there is likely some hidden reason for its being, yet totally unclear that that it results from the prosaic yearning for off-street parking. This stair then became a leitmotif for the entire project.

旧金山密集的城市社区是建立在狭小的25英尺宽地块的基础上的-这有利于传统维多利亚时代的小房间，但对现代加州来说，它的挑战在于与自然光和户外的连接。由于地块的宽度通常会随着两边需要的邻居挫折而进一步缩小，我们理解垂直发展的迫切性-在这里，我们用一个不同寻常的、最终优雅的概念来迎接挑战。

San Francisco’s dense urban neighborhoods are based on a grid of narrow 25’ wide lots -- conducive to the small defined rooms of a traditional Victorian, but challenging for modern California living with its premium on connection to natural light and the outdoors. With the width of the lots often further reduced with required neighbor setbacks on either side, we understand the imperative to go vertical – here we meet the challenge with a concept that is unusual and ultimately elegant.
