架构师提供的文本描述。纳帕谷之家是由我们的合伙人之一，艾略特·李和他的妻子，也是建筑师，为艾略特的父母设计的，坐落在加州纳帕谷的山丘上。它占据了一个以前没有建造过的山脊，而且岩石非常多。

Text description provided by the architects. The Napa Valley House was designed by one of our partners, Eliot Lee, along with his wife, who is also an architect, for Eliot’s parents, and is located in the hills of Napa Valley, California. It occupies a ridge site that had not previously been built on and was very rocky.

他们没有把山脊炸开，创造一个平坦的场地，而是与地形一起工作，让它来指导设计。这座“房子”实际上是由四座建筑组成的，它们排成一排，坐落在两座山之间。一个是起居/就餐空间，一个是主卧室和浴室，一个是客房，另一个是带桑拿的水疗中心。

Instead of blasting away the ridge to create a flat site, they worked with the topography, letting it guide the design. The “house” is actually a compound of four buildings that sit in a row between two hills. One is a living/dining space, one is a master bedroom and bath, one is a guest house, and one is a spa with a sauna.

 Floor Plan

独立的建筑由一系列相交的正交小径和夯土墙组合而成，这些墙也延伸到景观中，并将其他元素(如游泳池)融入到地产中。大部分原始植物区系被保存下来；较大的树木被暂时移到该地点的其他地方，然后重新种植。增加了额外的种植，尽管所有的植物都是土生土长的物种，如塔诺克，雄鹿和曼扎尼塔。

The separate buildings are united by a series of intersecting orthogonal paths and a rammed earth wall, which also extend into the landscape and incorporate other elements, such as the pool, into the property. Most of the original flora was preserved; larger trees were temporarily moved elsewhere on the site and then replanted. Additional plantings were added, though all the plants are native species such as tanoaks, madrones, and manzanitas.

有少量的石头被挖掘出来，但实际上没有一块被移走，不是用作墙壁，就是在小径上捣碎。

A small amount of stone was excavated, though none was actually removed from the property; it was either used for the walls or crushed for the paths.

游泳池设计成一个膝池，一端有一个涉水池(供儿童和成年人放松)。另一端是布鲁克林艺术家彼得·莱恩的一件艺术品。建筑过程和最终设计的总体理念是轻踩现有景观。

The pool was designed as a lap pool with a wading pool (for children and for adults to relax) at one end. The other end features an art piece by Brooklyn artist Peter Lane. The overall philosophy of both the construction process and the final design was to step lightly on the existing landscape.

居住在这片土地上意味着你被带到大自然中只是为了从一个空间进入另一个空间，而室外庭院、露台、游泳池和花园会导致更多的时间花在户外而不是室内。

Living on the property means that you are brought into nature simply to pass from one space to another, and the outdoor yards, terraces, pool, and gardens result in more time spent outdoors than inside.
