设计：以色列出生的建筑师丹·布鲁恩(DanBrunn)，来自洛杉矶，设计了一个现代化的海滨住宅，每层楼都有很深的露台，以最大限度地利用室外空间和海景。这座三层楼的房子位于威尼斯海滩的一片狭窄的海滨土地上，位于布鲁恩(另一位业主)之前完成的一栋房子和一栋两层楼的公寓楼之间。这个密密麻麻的场地让建筑师在房子里最大限度的开放和阳光，所以房间感觉宽敞和不受干扰。无数的天窗，从地面到天花板的玻璃，和慷慨的窗户照亮了房子的顶部和侧面。海滨阳台的锯齿状、灰白色的灰泥板和有节奏的窗口图案创造了充满活力的立面。面对海滩的突出平面和凹槽平面的视觉交互作用表明，从房屋中可以看到海潮的涨落，并巧妙地符合当地的设置和高度规定。

Design: Israeli-born architect Dan Brunn, AIA, of Los Angeles, designed a modern waterfront home with deep terraces on each floor to maximize outdoor spaces and ocean views. The three-story house occupies a narrow oceanfront lot on Venice Beach between a house previously completed by Brunn (for a different owner) and a two-story apartment building. This tight infill site led the architect to maximize openness and daylight inside the house so the rooms feel spacious and unencumbered. Numerous skylights, floor-to-ceiling glass, and generous windows illuminate the house from the top and sides. The zig-zag shape of the beachfront balconies, gray stucco panels, and rhythmic window patterns create dynamic façades. The visual interplay of projecting and recessed planes facing the beach suggests the ebb and flow of the ocean tides as seen from the house—and artfully comply with local set-back and height regulations.

为了满足客户的编程需求，架构师必须构建到整个集群的扩展。为了减轻一个大立方体的形状，Brunn为不同的效果组合了正面、侧面和背面的外观。前(海滩)立面是开放的，灰泥锯齿状的衬里深阳台。侧立面有长而深的孔洞，以及不同的整体彩色灰泥。后面的立面是以丝带为框架的，黑色的灰泥凹槽。这两栋布伦设计的房子位于相邻的地块上，有着共同的构造dna，但却显示出个性。业主们对隔壁当时在建的房子印象深刻，并联系了丹·布鲁恩建筑公司(DanBrunn Architecture)对他们的地段进行设计。

To fulfill the client’s programmatic needs, the architect had to build to the full extension of the lot. To mitigate a large cube shape, Brunn composed front, side, and back façades for different effects. The front (beach) façade is open with stucco zig-zags lining deep balconies. Side façades have long and deep apertures as well as varying integral colored stucco. The back façade is set in, framed by ribbon, with the dark stucco recessed. The two Brunn-designed houses on neighboring plots share tectonic DNA, yet exhibit individual personalities. The owners were impressed with the then-under-construction house next door, and contacted Dan Brunn Architecture to design on their lot.

这座有五间卧室的房子包括一套带小厨房的底层公寓，以及宽敞的车库。以上两层构成了主要的居住空间。所有三层都由电梯连接。板式混凝土锚固在地面水平，为上两层的灰泥和玻璃住宅提供了坚实的基础。在里面，一个玻璃围护，水磨石内衬楼梯照亮了大天窗和一个两层玻璃外墙允许阳光穿透到房子的中心。楼梯似乎是浮动由于隐藏的拉杆设计，进一步贡献了通风性质的内部。每个楼梯都位于一层楼的一半处，在楼梯和相邻房间的每一层都能看到动态的景色。

The five-bedroom house includes a ground-floor apartment with a kitchenette, as well as expansive garage. The two floors built above constitute the main living spaces. All three levels are connected by an elevator. Board-formed concrete anchors the ground level, providing a solid foundation for the stucco-and-glass dwelling on the upper two levels. Inside, a glass-enclosed, terrazzo-lined staircase illuminated by large skylights and a two-story glazed exterior wall allow sunlight to penetrate in the heart of the house. Stairs appear to be floating due to a hidden tension rod design, further contributing to the airy nature of the interiors. Each stair landing is positioned halfway up a floor, offering dynamic views at each level of both the staircase and adjacent rooms.

在二楼，居住、就餐和厨房区域被安排在一个开放的空间内，旁边是一个室外露台，框架是从地板到天花板的玻璃。玻璃护栏与一种温和的，不透明，透明的梯度薄膜层压，以使隐私和视图。在楼梯的对面，一个煤气壁炉、内置的橱柜和流线型厨房被建在北墙中，以节省房子狭长的脚印内的空间。在餐厅内建的窗户上方有一扇牧师式的窗户，餐厅角落里有一口深光井，可以让更多的阳光透过这一层。

On the second floor, living, dining, and kitchen areas are arranged within an open space adjacent to an outdoor terrace framed in floor-to-ceiling glass. Glass guardrails are laminated with a gentle opaque-to-clear gradation film to enable both privacy and views. Opposite from the staircase, a gas fireplace, built-in cabinets, and streamlined kitchen are built into the north wall to save space within the long, narrow footprint of the house. A clerestory window above the built-ins and a deep light well in the corner of the dining space allow more daylight to filter through this level.

由Eero Saarinen，Jean Prouvé，Charles和Ray Eames设计的现代古典家具补充了极简美学。白色对白色与灰色的触感相呼应结构本身，而明亮的红色增加了颜色和对比弹出。水磨石地板进一步扩展了新鲜的海滨别墅的感觉。混凝土甲板摊铺机是为了与内部水磨石匹配，以获得无缝的外观。

Modern classic furnishings designed by Eero Saarinen, Jean Prouvé, and Charles and Ray Eames complement the minimalist aesthetic. White-on-white with touches of gray echo the structure itself, while bright red adds pops of color and contrast. Terrazzo floors further extend the fresh beach-house feeling. Concrete deck pavers were created to match the interior terrazzo for a seamless look.

三楼主套房同样被视为一个流动的空间，毗邻一个室外甲板。卧室和浴室是相互连接的，独立的，雕塑式浴缸打开窗景。立方淋浴由磨砂玻璃组成。内置书架和电视壁龛增强清洁内衬的感觉。电视机旁边是一个定制的不锈钢壁炉，周围有一个内置的生态智能燃烧器。

The third-floor master suite is similarly treated as a flowing space adjoining an outdoor deck. Bedroom and bathroom are interconnected with a freestanding, sculptural bathtub open to the window views. A cubic shower is composed of frosted glass. Inset bookshelves and TV niche enhance the clean-lined feeling. Beside the TV is a custom-designed, stainless-steel fireplace surround with a built-in Eco-Smart burner.

在附近，从卧室甲板到达一个私人保护区飞地，俯瞰广阔的太平洋景色。从不同的内部优势点可以看到，房间的玻璃墙可以看到前面的海洋和后面的楼梯。与建筑外部相呼应，另外两座建筑由灰白色灰泥组成。在人造草坪的衬里，这个空间象征着房子的主题的透明度，以及发挥开放和受保护的空间。

Nearby, a private sanctuary enclave is reached from the bedroom deck for contemplating the expansive Pacific Ocean vista. Visible from various interior vantage points, the room’s glass wall opens to views of the ocean in front and the staircase in back. Echoing the building exterior, the other two consist of gray and white stucco. Lined in artificial turf, this space is emblematic of the house’s themes of transparency along with the play of open and protected space.

第三层包括一个由天窗照明的艺术工作室和办公室。二楼和三楼的后面都有两间卧室和一间浴室，供家庭和客人使用。一个开放的楼梯井，框架的天空，从三楼到屋顶甲板，它的座位和就餐区，以及广阔的海景。

The third level includes a combination art studio and office illuminated by skylights. At the rear of both the second and third floors are two bedrooms and a bathroom for family and guests. An open stairwell, framing a view of the sky, leads from the third floor to the roof deck with its seating and dining areas, and expansive ocean views.
