这座住宅周围的景观可以是起伏的基岩层，有突起、氧化的露头。该遗址位于下面的沙漠之上，是一片干旱的草原，有橡树、梅斯奎特岩、季节性野花，与茂密的河岸地区交织在一起。

The surrounding landscape for the residence can be characterized by undulating bedrock formations with jutting, oxidized outcroppings.  The site is remote and elevated above the desert below.  It is a dry grassland with oaks, mesquites, seasonal wildflowers, and is interlaced with lush riparian areas.

N-S节

在整个地形中，你呈现的是广阔而亲密的相互作用，一刹那就能看到遥远的分层山脉，而下一个则是直接的岩石面和茂密的棉林和柳树的叶子。季风风暴的猛烈作用、日日的太阳弧线和夜空的星辰，证明了头顶上巨大的壮观。这里的自然世界是无可争议的主要人物。

Moving through the terrain, one is presented with the interplay of expansiveness and intimacy, one moment seeing distant layered mountains, and the next, immediate rock faces and the dense foliage of cottonwood and willow trees. The violence of monsoonal storms, the daily arc of the sun, and the nightly array of stars attest to a sublime vastness overhead.  Here the natural world is the undisputed main character.

住宅的设计是为了配合这种独特的环境。它的规划部分与特定景观的特定空间和显着性方面相结合。起居室展馆是通过锚定构图，聚集在怀特森山(MountWright Son)的视野中，帮助定义一个相邻的室外房间，由奥科蒂洛(Ocotillo)和由两个锯齿状岩面组成的墙面组成。

The residence is designed to play a supporting role in response to this unique environment.  Its programmatic components are paired with specific spatial and phenomenal aspects of the given landscape.  Anchoring the composition, the Living Room pavilion gathers in the view of Mount Wrightson and helps to define an adjacent outdoor room populated by ocotillo and walled by two jagged rock faces. 

 Floor Plan

其余的室内空间覆盖在起居室的南边缘和东边，每个空间都集中在选定的岩石露头、中间岩层群或邻近山坡的细微凹槽上。屋顶甲板有助于连接远景，并为夜空剧院提供了最佳座位。从物质上讲，住宅采用当地的石头和彩色石膏，从周围直接指示。和氧化钢。

The remaining interior spaces are draped around the Southern and Eastern edges of the Living Room, each focusing on select rock outcroppings, groupings of mesquites, or subtle recesses in the adjacent hillside.  A roof deck assists in connecting with distant views and provides prime seating for the theater of the night sky.  Materially, the residence takes direct cues from the surroundings, using local stone, pigmented plaster, and oxidized steel.

圣凯耶塔诺山住宅的设计经过精心设计，以与其环境融合。这座住宅由三座建筑组成，相邻的景观集成基础设施部分。设计的中心部分是主楼，其中包含了大部分的居住空间。独立的工作室和车库结构为直线岩石脊柱提供了空间延伸，构成了建筑群的北缘。

The San Cayetano Mountain Residence is carefully designed to merge with its environment.  The composition is a modest assembly of three buildings, with adjacent landscape-integrated infrastructural pieces.  The center piece of the design is the Main House, which contains the majority of living spaces.  Detached Studio and Carport structures provide spatial extensions toward a linear rock spine which defines the Northern edge of the compound.

通过将室外空间和室内空间结合起来，家庭被编织成景观。起居室、餐厅和厨房都有外部对应空间。每间卧室都有一个隐蔽的外部休息区，主浴室向外部淋浴开放。

The home is woven into the landscape by pairing outdoor spaces with interior ones.  The Living Room, Dining Room, and Kitchen all have exterior counterparts.  Each of the Bedrooms has a secluded exterior sitting area, and the Master Bath opens to an exterior shower.

每栋建筑都是由结构钢和轻质钢建造的，覆盖着石膏和纤维水泥板。透明的氧化钢丝网有助于模糊外部边缘。局部石材将成分延伸到景观中，并在驯化的外部空间和更加坚固、自然的地形之间做出微妙的区分。精致的自然环境需要强大的视觉连接。因此，策略性放置绝缘玻璃面板提供膨胀的开口，在外部信封。

Each building is constructed of both structural and light gauge steel, clad in plaster and fiber-cement board.  Diaphanous oxidized steel screens help blur the exterior edges.  Local stone extends the composition into the landscape, and makes subtle distinctions between domesticated exterior space and more rugged, natural terrain.  The exquisite natural setting necessitates strong visual connections.  As a result, strategically placed insulated glass panels provide expansive openings within the exterior envelope. 

遮阳是由悬臂式屋顶平面和水平遮阳屏提供的，在长期缺席的情况下，这些屏风会折叠起来，以确保住所安全。固定转盘有助于确定与拉普水池(Lap Pool)相邻的室外房间，以及室外厨房和餐厅。壁炉是用碎熔岩制成的，以向土地的地质起源致敬。

Shading is provided by cantilevered roof planes, and horizontal shade screens that fold down to secure the residence in the event of prolonged absences.  Fixed trellises aid in defining outdoor rooms adjacent to the Lap Pool as well as the outdoor Kitchen and Dining Rooms.  The fireplace is rendered in crushed lava as an homage to the geologic origins of the land.
