架构师提供的文本描述。阴阳之家是加州一个安静的威尼斯社区中的一家独栋住宅，设计的目的是为一个有几个孩子的大家庭创造一个空间，这将创造一个平静、放松和有组织的环境，强调公共家庭空间。家庭也是一个娱乐的地方，也是一个欢迎青少年的空间，因为他们寻求与朋友的社交空间。

Text description provided by the architects. The Yin-Yang House is a single-family home in a quiet Venice, CA neighborhood.  The design objective was to create a space for a large and growing family with several children, which would create a calm, relaxed and organized environment that emphasizes public family space.   The home is also meant to serve as a place to entertain and a welcoming space for teenagers as they seek social space with friends.

家庭是围绕着一系列的庭院和其他与房子内部相结合的室外空间组织起来的。面对街道，房子看起来是坚固的，然而，在钢制的入口门后面是一个庭院，它揭示了房子在坚固的外部后面的室内-室外性质，从入口庭院可以看到整个空间到后花园墙；住宅内外空间连接的第一条线索。这些空间是为娱乐而设计的，50英尺高的起居室滑动玻璃门增强了主房间的和谐关系，让主人可以接待许多客人而不会感到负担过重。

The home is organized around a series of courtyards and other outdoor spaces that integrate with the interior of the house. Facing the street the house appears to be solid.  However, behind the steel entry door is a courtyard, which reveals the indoor-outdoor nature of the house behind the solid exterior.  From the entry courtyard, the entire space to the rear garden wall can be seen; the first clue of the home’s spatial connection between inside and out.  These spaces are designed for entertainment, and the 50 foot sliding glass door to the living room enhances the harmonic relationship of the main room, allowing the owners to host many guests without the feeling of being overburdened.

12英寸的钢带巧妙地突显了房子外部的紧张，这条钢带靠近二楼的地板线，但有时会上升或下降-这是一个连续的循环，就像一支从未从纸上拿出来的钢笔，但它强化了将室内与外部空间作为一个单独空间织在一起的意图。

The tensions of the house’s exterior are subtly underscored by a 12-inch steel band that hews close to, but sometimes rises above or falls below the floor line of the second floor – a continuous loop moving inside and out like a pen that is never lifted from the page, but reinforces the intent to spatially weave together as a single space the indoors with the outside space.

规模操纵在结构设计中也起着正式的作用。从后面看，这所房子似乎只有一层楼高。大主卧室的窗户和室外的台阶被缩放以支持这种错觉。只有当台阶上充满了人时，人们才会意识到这座房子的真正规模是两层楼。

Scale manipulation also plays a formal role in the design of the structure. From the back, the house appears to be a single-story volume. The large master bedroom window and the outdoor steps are scaled to support this illusion. It is only when the steps are animated with people that one realizes the true scale of the house is two stories.

厨房是房子的心脏，有一个开放的工作区，可以让主人-一位有成就的厨师-一边做饭一边和朋友聊天。卧室被故意设计成很小很简单，可以提供更大的公共空间，强调家庭在各个领域的重要性。早餐室通过室外庭院向客房/儿童游戏室望去，在定义用途分离的同时建立视觉联系。孩子们可以在成人的监督下从餐厅或办公室到户外玩耍，或者在办公室做家庭作业，而成年人则占据相邻的室外或室内空间。

The kitchen is the heart of the house, with an open working area that allows the owner, an accomplished chef, to chat with friends while cooking.  Bedrooms are intentionally designed to be very small and simple, to provide larger public spaces, emphasizing the family over individual domains. The breakfast room looks across an outdoor courtyard to the guest room/kids playroom, establishing a visual connection while defining the separation of uses. The children can play outdoors while under adult supervision from the dining area or the office, or do homework in the office while adults occupy the adjacent outdoor or indoor space.

许多使用的材料，包括竹子内部，复合石材和瓷砖台面和浴室饰面被回收，并加强了环境DNA的房子，这也有一个绿色的屋顶。吹入纤维素绝缘，辐射加热和许多其他可持续的功能，有助于性能的建筑物的取暖和冷却。

Many of the materials used, including the bamboo interior, composite stone and tile countertops and bathroom finishes are recycled, and reinforce the environmental DNA of the house, which also has a green roof. Blown-in cellulose insulation, radiant heating and a host of other sustainable features aids in the performance of the building’s heating and cooling.
