架构师提供的文本描述。由于他们对地方的热爱和以前修缮的历史，这座山的主人们被赋予了权力。Sequoyah地产公司为他们朴素的牧场风格的住宅寻求彻底的改造。他们来到我们这里，寻求一种创造性的、现代的设计方法，在整个项目中提供自然光和景观。由于与周围社区有着深厚的联系，人们也渴望在不完全切断他们与这个迷人社区的联系的情况下，对邻近的房屋进行优雅的审查。

Text description provided by the architects. Empowered by their love of place and a history of previous renovations, the owners of this Mt. Sequoyah property sought a complete transformation for their modest ranch-style home. They came to us for a creative and modern approach to design that would provide natural light and views throughout the project. With deep ties to the surrounding neighborhood, there was also a desire to tastefully censor the adjacent homes without completely severing their connection to this charming community.

 Floor Plan

现有的房子面临着传统窗户隔开的狭小空间的类型问题。通过开放生活区和在设计中整合层次的透明度，住宅的空间边界被故意模糊，有时甚至完全被抹掉。现有房屋的简单直线图现在被一个惊人的角度扩展所改变，这是由于想要保存和尊重前院的一棵大橡树，并且在从车道接近家的时候也有目的地控制对相邻地段的看法。

The existing house faced the typological problems of small, segregated spaces with traditional windows. By opening the living areas and integrating layers of transparency into the design, the spatial boundaries of the home are purposely blurred, and at times, completely obliterated. The simple rectilinear plan of the existing home is now modified by a striking angular expansion, derived by a desire to preserve and respect a large oak tree in the front yard and also purposefully control the views to adjacent lots when approaching the home from the drive.

这种正式的转变不仅为游客创造了摇篮式的入口空间，而且还允许居民通过玻璃和雪松的平面同时体验住宅的内部和外部。从地板到天花板的窗户充满了自然光线，并在视觉上将主要的生活区延伸到了前廊。从前门附近的一个位置，连接到中央橡树通过主卧室的休息区，进一步模糊了公共和私人空间的界限在家里。

This formal shift not only creates the cradle-like entry space for visitors but also allows the resident to experience the interior and exterior of the home simultaneously through planes of glass and cedar. Floor to ceiling windows flood the interior with natural light and visually extend the primary living areas out onto the front porch. From a position near the front door, a connection is made to the central oak through the sitting area of the master bedroom, further blurring the boundaries of public and private space in the home.

灵感来自时间的能力和改变材料，改变色调的外观在核心的设计理念。就像一片慢慢磨练的浮木一样，街道正面新的雪松雨幕在吸引光线和视觉的同时，向室内空间乞求人的接触。房屋的扩张也可以类似地与水对一块原钢的影响相比较，就像翻新后的外墙的风化一样。

Inspired by time’s ability to patina and alter materials, the changing tones of the façade at the heart of the design concept. Like a slowly honed piece of driftwood, new cedar rain screens on the street side facades beg for human touch as they draw light and views almost sensually into the interior spaces. The expansion of the home can similarly be compared to the effect of water over time on a piece of raw steel, as expressed by the weathered cor-ten of the renovated façade.

氧化过程使钢铁在吸收水的过程中自然膨胀，就像这个家为了满足其精力充沛的租户的需求和照顾而扩大的一样。这些天然材料以深邃诱人的色彩展现了家园的共生扩张，并提供了一种原始而醒目的形式，优雅地与老牌山腰社区古怪的居住环境并排在一起。

The oxidation process causes the steel to expand naturally as water is absorbed, in the same way that this home has expanded in response to the needs and care of its energetic tenants. These natural materials speak to the home’s symbiotic expansion with deep and inviting hues and provide a raw and striking form on the site, gracefully juxtaposed with the quirky residential context of the established mountainside neighborhood.
