“链接”是位于亚利桑那州凤凰城住宅区的皮尔逊广场(Pierson Place)社区的一栋充满生机的房子。这所房子被命名为“林克”，因为它是附近最后一个空置的包裹，丢失的环节。牧场矿由卡文和克莱尔·科斯特洛组成，这是一支年轻的国家获奖夫妇设计团队，专门负责亚利桑那州历史街区和中世纪社区的现代住宅设计，被西南博克斯韦尔的埃文·博克斯韦尔(Evan Boxwell)雇佣，设计了一套2000平方英尺3间卧室，2浴室规格的房子在这8，500平方英尺的空地上建造标准的开发商级材料，以一种独特的，现代的方式。在一个历史悠久的社区里设计一套经济实惠的现代住宅并非易事，但“链接”最终是以每平方英尺138美元(约合每平方米人民币)的价格建成的，开发商在这栋房子建成两周后就接受了报价。

“Link” is an infill house in the Historic Pierson Place neighborhood in uptown Phoenix, Arizona. The house is named "Link" as it was the last vacant parcel in the neighborhood, the missing link. The Ranch Mine, comprised of Cavin and Claire Costello, a young, national award winning husband and wife design team specializing in the design of modern homes in historic and mid-century neighborhoods in Arizona, was hired by Evan Boxwell of Boxwell Southwest to design a 2000 square foot, 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom spec house on this 8,500 square foot vacant lot constructed with standard developer grade materials in a unique, modern way. It was no easy task to design an affordable modern house in an historic neighborhood that would sell quickly, but “Link” was ultimately built for $138 a square foot and the developer accepted an offer just 2 weeks after the house was completed.

由于房屋设计必须经过凤凰城历史遗产保护办公室，设计过程开始于将历史街区的原始房屋的共同规模、形式和集合抽象为现代诠释。这一历史街区的大多数房屋都是单层的，从遮荫的生活空间向街道突出。这个简单的形式导致了简单的“链接”的聚集图，一个社会开放的生活盒，和一个家庭的公用组件的盒子。厨房可以两者兼而有之，作为空间之间的枢纽。

Since the house design had to go through The City of Phoenix Historic Preservation Office, the design process started by abstracting the common scale, form and massing of the original houses in the historic district into a modern interpretation. A majority of the houses in the historic neighborhood are single-story with a volume protruding to the street from a shaded living volume. This simple form led to the simple massing diagram for “Link,” a social open living box, and a box for the utility components of the home. The kitchen, which can be both, acts as the pivot between the spaces.

大多数现代住宅都欢迎向自然或后院开放，但往往靠近城市社区的街景。“链接”是作为城市结构的一部分而设计的，它连接着自然和它的邻里，无论是视觉上还是物理上都是如此。滑动玻璃门，宽24英尺，高10英尺，使房主能够打开房子的整个起居空间，在室外将起居区延伸到有板状混凝土防火坑的私人后院、带有板式混凝土墙的社会前廊，或两者兼而有之。房子的居住和就餐区，与胡桃木胶合板，基本上可以转化为一个露天展馆，理想的娱乐在凤凰城。从四月到十月，房子用巨大的悬垂来遮阳玻璃门，当沙漠之夜气温下降时，这些门提供了难以置信的交叉通风来冷却房子。LED照明，先进的框架结构，只有窗户在北部和南部帮助保持这房子难以置信的能源效率。房子的卧室、浴室和储藏室位于房子的私人主空间。该材料调色板，裸露混凝土地板，石英台面，背漆玻璃背溅，胡桃胶合板，是非常简单和设计低维护。

Most modern homes embrace opening up to nature or backyards, but often close up to the streetscape of their urban neighborhood. “Link” is designed as part of the urban fabric connecting it both to nature and its neighborhood, visually and physically. Sliding glass doors, 24 feet wide and 10 feet tall, enable the homeowner to open up the entire living space of the house, extending the living area outdoors to either the private backyard with a board-formed concrete fire pit, the social front porch with the board-formed concrete wall, or both. The living and dining area of the house, clad with walnut plywood, can essentially transform into an open air pavilion, ideal for entertaining in Phoenix. The house uses large overhangs to shade the glass doors from April through October, and those doors provide unbelievable cross ventilation to cool the house when the temperature drops during the desert nights. LED lighting, advanced framing construction, and only windows on the north and south help to keep this house incredibly energy efficient. The bedrooms, bathrooms, and storage areas of the house are located in the private, main volume of the house. The material palette, exposed concrete floors, quartz countertops, back painted glass backsplash, and walnut plywood, is very simple and designed to be low maintenance.

我们创办牧场矿是因为我们相信我们都与我们的文化环境有利害关系。凤凰城，就像其他城市一样，有声誉，有名片，有一些简单的方式让人们识别它。长期以来，设计和开发社区一直被认为是米色的，过度扩张和投机，对任何被认为是标准或安全的东西都充满了痴迷。这个身份并不存在。“链接”是对常规的一种突破。这是凤凰城设计和开发的新方向。一个我们尊重过去，挑战规范，激励未来的未来。

We started The Ranch Mine because we believe that we all hold a stake in the state of our cultural environment. Phoenix, like any other city, has a reputation, a calling card, some easy ways for people to identify it. For far too long the design and development community has been identified as beige, over run with sprawl and speculation, and littered with an obsession for anything perceived as standard or safe. This I.D. did not bring itself into existence. ‘Link’ is a break from the norm. It is a new direction for design and development in Phoenix. A future in which we honor the past, challenge the norm, and inspire the future.
