架构师提供的文本描述。业主们想要在洛杉矶以外的地方建造一座逃跑的房子，在那里他们可以娱乐和找到他们想要的现代设计和与自然更直接的关系之间的平衡。在对南加州地区进行了两年的搜索之后，他们发现了蒙台西托附近的原始土地，它位于山顶，毗邻国家公园。

Text description provided by the architects. The owners wanted to build a getaway house outside of Los Angeles where they could entertain and find a balance between the modern design they desired and a more direct relationship to nature. After a two year search in the Southern California region they discovered pristine acreage near Montecito at the top of a mountain and adjacent to national park land.

该网站的战略是缓慢发现和发现房子，并最终-景观。这条道路是为进入而建的，它把游客带到了房子下面的一个地方-在那里，一个正式的楼梯通向入口序列。前门框架和揭示圣巴巴拉海岸线通过庭院的看法。

The site strategy is one of slow revelation and discovery of the house and- ultimately- the view. The road, which had to be built for access, brings the visitor to a point below the house- where a formal stair leads up to the entry sequence. The front door frames and reveals views of the Santa Barbara coastline through the courtyard.

一个40‘宽的水平的’Panavison‘-漂亮的开放给房子一个像展馆的气氛。该住宅由三个庭院组成，位于住宅中心的初级庭院也用作前门和室外起居室。庭院有两个目的：它们带来充足的自然光和通风，但也提供了保护免受强风，可以在山间疾驰。

A 40’ wide horizontal ‘panavison’-esque opening gives the house a pavilion-like atmosphere. The dwelling is organized around three courtyards; the primary one at the heart of the house also serves as the front entrance and outdoor living room. The courtyards have a dual purpose: they bring in ample natural light and ventilation but also provide protection from the strong winds that can race across the mountain.

粗糙和非常厚的木板形混凝土墙，自定义的颜色混合，以匹配深红和棕色色调的地球在现场，形成一个坚固的外壳，不时有大开口，并揭示阿拉斯加雪松木壁板。内壳的温暖木材和窗户进入受保护的庭院创造了温暖和触觉的内部休息，从艰苦的环境。

The rough and very thick boardform concrete walls, custom color-mixed to match the dark red and brown tones of the earth at the site, form a rugged shell that is punctuated by large openings and reveals of the Alaskan cedar wood siding. The inner shell’s warm wood and windows into the protected courtyards create a warm and tactile interior respite from the hardy environment.
