架构师提供的文本描述。当这座20世纪80年代的房子的新主人要求彻底翻新时，建筑师们看到了改变其黑暗过时的内部结构的机会，同时更好地利用了这栋房子位于海角上的壮观位置，可以俯瞰奥斯丁湖和远处起伏的小山。

Text description provided by the architects. When the new owner of this 1980s house called for a complete renovation, the architects saw the opportunity to transform its dark, dated interiors while taking better advantage of the home’s spectacular location atop a promontory offering a 180-degree view of Lake Austin and the rolling hills beyond.

现有的车道和车库在房地产中心占据了大量的优质房地产，并进行了重新配置，以便提供一个宽敞的、景观美化的庭院，由一系列台阶梯田与宾夕法尼亚青石相望。以前以车辆为中心的汽车场被改造成了一个以行人为导向的空间，通过强调自然元素，比如物业的橡树，建立了进入房子的清晰顺序。

The existing driveway and garage, which had occupied a large area of prime real estate at the center of the property, were reconfigured in order to provide for a generous, landscaped courtyard accessed by a series of stepped terraces faced with Pennsylvania bluestone. What had previously been a vehicle- centric motor court was transformed into a pedestrian-oriented space that, by emphasizing natural elements like the property’s oak trees, establishes a clear sequence of entry into the house.

为了使自然元素更接近房屋，现有的人行道被拆除，取而代之的是美化的韩国草和河流岩石，这意味着一种和平与安宁的品质。前门上方悬挂的铝制建筑不仅能保护游客免受德克萨斯州阳光的影响，而且还提供了一种多样化的质地，巧妙地突出了入口，将游客吸引到家中。

To bring natural elements closer to the house, the existing pavement was removed and replaced with landscaped Korean grass and river rocks, suggesting a quality of peace and tranquility. An aluminum overhang above the front door not only protects visitors from the Texas sun, but also provides a varied texture that subtly accentuates the entry, drawing visitors into the home.

在内部，曾经是一个零碎的空间集合，按照一个清晰的层次结构进行了重组。最重要的改变是壁炉的搬迁。在进入房子之前，游客们立刻看到客厅全景的畅通无阻的景色。现在，重新安置的壁炉掩盖了这一观点，分隔了空间，使视野逐渐显现为一个过渡到开放的生活和就餐区域。

Inside, what was once a fragmented collection of spaces was reorganized according to a clear hierarchy. The most significant alteration was the relocation of the fireplace. Before, upon entering the house, visitors were immediately greeted by an unobstructed view of the panoramic backdrop to the living room. Now, the relocated fireplace conceals this view, separating the space, allowing the view to be gradually revealed as one transitions into the openness of the living and dining area.

这间中央大房间是东翼之间的枢纽，包括餐厅、厨房、早餐区、酒窖和儿童室；西侧有主套房、家庭办公室和健身房。斑马木橱柜，巴西樱桃地板，和独特的，纹理壁炉包不锈钢网口音，内部的柔和的材料调色板。

This central great room acts as a hinge point between the east wing housing the dining room, kitchen, breakfast area, wine cellar, and children’s rooms; and the west wing containing the master suite, home office, and exercise room. Zebrawood cabinets, Brazilian cherry floors, and the distinctive, textured fireplace clad in stainless steel mesh accent the interior’s subdued material palette.

与现有的室内建筑形成鲜明对比的是，尽管整个住宅都有从地板到天花板的窗户，但室内空间仍感觉黑暗和幽闭，而翻新后的室内空间则向外聚焦，最大限度地连接了周围的景观。一个现有的石阶沿住宅的后方周界被重新配置，以创造一个过渡空间之间的内部和外部。一个横扫的铝格子统一了这一区域，提供遮荫和捕捉风在室外，而框架从内部的看法。通过隐藏无情的几何形状的甲板的角度，格子创造了一个更软的边缘，吸引眼睛向外周围的景观。与此同时，一个扩大的ipe甲板，内置的座位台阶下到一个零边游泳池，由一个小型的室外酒吧服务，所有的设置在似乎无限的山野的背景之外。

In contrast to the existing interiors, which felt dark and claustrophobic despite the presence of floor-to- ceiling windows throughout the residence, the renovated interior spaces focus outward, maximizing the connection to the surrounding landscape. An existing stone terrace along the home’s rear perimeter was reconfigured to create a transitional space between interior and exterior. A sweeping aluminum trellis unifies this zone, providing shade and capturing breezes outdoors while framing views from the interior. By concealing the relentless geometry of the deck’s angled roof, the trellis creates a softer edge that draws the eye outwards to the surrounding landscape. Meanwhile, an expanded ipe deck with built-in seating steps down to a zero-edge pool serviced by a small outdoor bar, all set against the seemingly limitless backdrop of the hill country beyond.
