架构师提供的文本描述。该住宅位于19世纪建立的一个私人海滨社区内，是一对年轻夫妇居住的地方，他们正在寻找一个能够容纳他们日益壮大的家庭和反映他们现代生活方式的家。由于它的历史，大多数的房子在设计和规模上比周围的当代海滨社区更为保守。因此，客户想要一套符合其历史背景的现代住宅，同时又要接受适度规模的房产。

Text description provided by the architects. Located within a private oceanfront community established in the 19th century, this residence is for a young couple looking for a home that would accommodate their growing family and reflect their modern lifestyle. Due to its history, most houses in the neighborhood are more conservative in design and scale than surrounding contemporary oceanfront communities. As a result, the clients desired a modern home that would fit within it’s historic context while embracing the modest scale of the property.

该设计通过参考附近的土木建筑，特别是埋在地面上的山墙马铃薯谷仓，达到了这些目标。一个独特的结构体系被用来创造一个虚假的地面平面，从等级到二楼倾斜，当从街道上看到房子时，掩盖了房子的规模。该结构由7“厚胶层合木梁组成，由钢梁和柱支撑。这种结构消除了传统木结构框架和结构元素的必要性，并被暴露在整个地面空间的成品天花板表面。

The design meets these goals by referencing the nearby agrarian vernacular buildings, specifically gabled potato barns embedded in the ground. A unique structural system was employed to create a false ground plane that slopes up from grade to the second floor, masking the scale of the house when viewed from the street. The structure consists of 7” thick glue-laminated wood beams supported by steel girders and columns. This structure eliminates the necessity of traditional wood framing and structural elements and was left exposed as the finished ceiling surface throughout the ground level spaces.

独特的结构为许多设计机会提供了机会：材料从内到外无缝过渡为12英尺长的90英尺长悬臂，楼梯踏板从同一材料上切割以表示其厚度，圆柱形凹槽从木天花板上凿出，将表面安装的固定装置转换成独特的照明元素。这种雕刻方法在整个设计过程中继续作为个案工作和定制家具。最值得注意的是，家庭室沙发是由巨大的胶水层压木梁制成，并雕刻出来，以创建边桌和饮料栏杆。

The unique structure allows for a number of design opportunities: the material transitions seamlessly from inside to outside as a 12’ by 90’ long cantilever, stairs treads are cut from the same material to express its thickness, and cylindrical recesses are carved out of the wood ceiling to transform surface mounted fixtures into unique lighting elements. This method of carving continues throughout the design as casework and custom furniture. Most notably, the Family Room sofa is fabricated out of the massive glue-laminated wood beams and carved out to create side tables and drink rails.

一楼是专门为客人服务和娱乐的，而二楼是为家庭预留的。环绕着家庭卧室的高架地面上种植着土生土长的草本植物。在植物内，亲密的户外空间被雕刻为小型聚会，包括一个火坑和水疗中心，可以看到大海。高架地面的倾斜部分包括将家庭区域与等级上的公共娱乐区连接起来的路径。

While the first floor is dedicated to guests and entertaining, the second floor is reserved for the family. The elevated ground plane that surrounds the family bedrooms is planted with native grasses. Within the plantings, intimate outdoor spaces are carved for small gatherings, including a fire pit and spa with views of the ocean. Sloping portions of the elevated ground plane include paths to connect the family areas with the more public entertaining areas on grade.

传统上用于农业建筑的材料由于其低维护性、耐久性和长期良好的气候能力而被选择。雪松和耐候钢是以非传统的方式使用的。阿拉斯加的黄色摇晃着屋顶和侧壁。为了减少房子的明显规模，晃动过程的曝光量是典型过程的四倍。耐候钢参照了谷仓屋顶上常用的波纹钢。耐候钢自动密封，以创造一个持久，低维护包层。这些材料的温暖，泥土的色调与周围的风化景观融为一体。

Materials traditionally used on agricultural buildings are selected for their low maintenance, durability, and ability to gracefully weather over time. Cedar and weathering steel are executed in nontraditional ways. Alaskan yellow shakes monolithically clad the roof and sidewalls. The shake coursing exposure is four times larger than the typical coursing to reduce the apparent scale of the house. The weathering steel references the corrugated steel often used on barn roofs. Weathering steel self seals to create a durable, low maintenance cladding. The warm, earthy tones of these materials blend with the weathered landscape that surrounds it.

以过度开发和与周围环境脱节而闻名的当代海滨社区。通过参考当地的土话和提升地面平面，这座大房子植根于景观之中，并成为邻里的一种有凝聚力的附加物。

Surrounding contemporary oceanfront communities are becoming known for their overdevelopment and disconnect from their surrounding environment. By referencing the local vernacular and elevating the ground plane, this large house is rooted within the landscape and becomes a cohesive addition to the neighborhood.
