架构师提供的文本描述。位于加州北部沿海山区，专为两位退休的地球物理学家设计，2750英尺。住宅被认为是一个栖息的巢穴，翅膀升起，水锚定，反射大地和天空。悬臂屋面由两个内部实用柱支撑，使结构经济。房子的位置是围绕着一个挖掘出来的岩石小丘，并遵循土地的轮廓和太阳的方向。它是独立的能源和效率；结合主动太阳能电池板技术的电力和供暖，和被动设计，以可持续的舒适性。

Text description provided by the architects. Located in the northern California coastal hills and designed for two retired geo-physicists, the 2750 2ft. residence was conceived as a sheltering nest with wings to lift and water to anchor and reflect the earth and sky. The cantilevered roof is supported by two internal utility columns to give an economy of the open structure. The house is sited to wrap around an excavated rock-knoll and follows the contours of the land and solar orientation. It is energy independent and efficient; incorporating active solar panel technologies for power and heating, and passive design for sustainable comfort.

一个长悬臂的棚屋屋顶聚集和给结构轻盈，开放的景观和拥抱270度的观点。混凝土、夯土、玻璃、钢铁、木材和水被用来加强建筑物与周围景观之间的联系。

A long cantilevered shed roof gathers and gives lightness to the structure, opening to the landscape and embracing the 270 degree view. Concrete, rammed earth, glass, steel, wood and water are employed to enhance the connection between the building, and the surrounding landscape.

在精心设计的进入顺序中，块状夯土入口墙部分显示折叠的全高度16英尺高的玻璃墙，包围着中央居住、餐饮和厨房区域，并沿着分层的土墙循环。坚固的八英尺高的入口墙在整个100英尺长的夯土上用两英尺厚的对光幕墙盖住，给屋顶的平面以一种通风、飘浮的特征。幕墙是一个独特的定制设计，热破碎的玻璃系统.在生活和睡眠区，幕墙被整合成一个从地板到屋顶的垂直装配，以减少多个尺寸和支持浮动屋顶。

In a carefully choreographed entry sequence, the massive rammed earth entry walls part to reveal folded full height sixteen foot glazed walls enveloping central living, dining, and kitchen areas, with circulation following the layered earthen walls. The solid eight-foot-high entry walls are capped with two feet of butt-glazed curtain wall along the entire 100-foot length of rammed earth, to give the roof plane an airy, floating character. The curtain walls are a unique custom-designed, thermally broken glazing system. In the living and sleeping areas the curtain wall is integrated into a floor to roof vertical assembly to reduce mullion size and support the floating roof.

结构体系的设计是为了补充和加强建筑的轻盈和轻盈的强调。通过使用钢框架和精简结构系统，设计将材料消耗降到最低，并允许最大限度地提高性能。南墙和东墙的幕墙施工采用自定义竖向桁架体系，采用铸钢腹板支撑。屋顶系统，由三维斜拉桁架和自定义的铸钢腹杆组成，用非常轻的钢形状固定在平面上，使屋顶有一个长而清晰的跨度，漂浮在玻璃墙上。

The structural system is designed to complement and strengthen the architectural emphasis of lightness and flight. By utilizing a steel frame and streamlining structural systems, the design minimizes material consumption and allows for maximum performance. The curtain wall construction of the south and east walls utilize a custom vertical truss system with cast-steel web struts. The roof system, is framed with very light steel shapes held in plane by three-dimensional cable-stayed trusses and the custom cast-steel web struts, allowing the roof a long clear span, floating on the glass walls.

为了进一步整合房子的位置，房子的北墙漂浮在一个70英尺的反射池里。南阶梯田是为了消除栏杆和提供一个较低的膝池露台。业主的景观意图是恢复土生土长的草甸，有一个小橄榄园和厨房花园，从房子里可以看到，和一些样本植物毗邻的房子。

To further integrate the house to its site, the north wall of the house floats in a 70 foot reflecting pool. The south terrace is stepped to eliminate railings and provide a lower lap pool terrace. The owners’ landscape intent is to restore indigenous, native meadows, with a small olive orchard and kitchen garden viewable from the house, and a few specimen plantings adjacent to the house.
