架构师提供的文本描述。该遗址的特点是其遥不可及的感觉和成熟的树木，这是尽管周围是密集的城市发展。如此自然的环境发生在洛杉矶市中心，这是一个不同寻常的悖论。洛杉矶以无休止的扩张和爬行交通而闻名。

Text description provided by the architects. The site is characterized by its remote feeling and mature trees; this despite being surrounded by dense urban development. It is an unusual paradox to have such a natural setting that occurs in the middle of Los Angeles – a city known for its endless sprawl and crawling traffic.

这样做的目的是在实际可行的情况下保护自然景观-即使这意味着要让一棵树在房屋中生长。陡峭的山坡让房子可以作为一种设计方案来悬臂，以尽量减少地基的影响。这种悬臂法还尽可能地保留了自家庭院的种植空间。

The goal was to preserve the natural features where practical – even if this meant having a tree grow through the house.  The steep hillside allows the house to cantilever as a design solution to minimize foundations.  This act of cantilevering also preserves as much native yard space as possible for planting.

为了保持隐私，房子位于靠近地块中心的地方，以在它和其他毗邻的环境(如公共街道和其他房屋)之间建立一个缓冲。

To maintain privacy, the house is located close to the center of the lot to create a buffer between it – and other adjoining conditions such as a public street and other houses.

这座房子被设想成一个屋檐下的两个独立单元。房子的主要部分是两间卧室，专为四口之家设计。另一个组件-由室外风道隔开-由一间卧室、一处起居室、一间浴室和一间厨房组成。这个次级区域每天都用作办公和娱乐区。但可以很容易地与主空间隔绝，供来访的朋友或家人使用。

The house is conceived as two separate units under one roof.  The main part of the house is two bedrooms and is designed for a family of four.  The other component – separated by an outdoor breezeway –  is self-contained with one bedroom, a living area, a bathroom, and a kitchen.  This secondary area is used daily as an office and entertainment area, but can easily be closed off from the main space and used by visiting friends or family.
