架构师提供的文本描述。加州索诺马的这一农业财产是两名科学家的家，他们参与了各种农业项目，包括橄榄、橄榄油、蜂蜜的生产，以及养蜂、广泛的园艺和其他利用该地区气候、土壤和选址的努力。作为“本地”运动的一部分，他们把他们的产品带到当地市场和餐馆。

Text description provided by the architects. This agricultural property in Sonoma, California is the home of two scientists who are involved in various farm projects including the production of olives, olive oil, honey, as well as bee keeping, extensive gardening and other endeavors that take advantage of the area’s climate, soils and siting. And as part of the “locavore” movement, they bring their produce to local markets and restaurants.

业主要求进行高效率的翻新，以最大限度地利用山坡景观，并将两层连接起来，以便有更开放的生活体验。他们还要求以木材为主要材料。

The Owners requested an efficient renovation that would maximize hillside views and connect the two levels to allow for a more open living experience. They also requested that wood be a dominant material.

这所房子在两层楼上有2200平方英尺。主曝光面朝北，利用视野、微风和间接光线。现有的北立面、楼梯和门廊被拆除，取而代之的是新的玻璃墙和阳台结构。我们维护了房子本身的大部分原木框架，包括木板和接力棒壁板(染成深灰色)和山墙屋顶结构。在里面，楼上的起居室被移除，把较低层次的书房打开到音量的全部高度。现在，他们没有在两层楼的每一层都有一个黑暗的起居室，而是有一个充满开阔视野和光线的令人兴奋的生活空间。

The house is 2,200 square feet on two levels. The main exposure faces north, taking advantage of the view, breezes and indirect light. The existing north façade, stair and porch were removed and replaced with a new glass wall and balcony structure. We maintained most of the original wood framing for the house itself including board and baton siding (stained dark grey) and a gable roof structure. Inside, the upstairs living room was removed, opening the lower level den to the full height of the volume. Instead of having a dark living room on each of the two levels, they now have one exciting living space with open views and light.

阳台是重新定义房屋形象和焦点的标志性形式。IPE被用作屏幕和帧设备。这种材料为凉爽的加州光线带来了温暖，创造了一个更亲密的环境，并聚焦于周围的景观。IPE是专门选择的，因为它的力量和能力跨越整个深度的门廊，没有中间支撑。随着时间的推移，天气会自然地变暖，在黑暗的背景下，会产生更多的艺术效果。

The balcony is the iconic form that redefines the image and focus of the house. Ipe is used as a screen and framing device. This material brings warmth to the cool California light, creating a more intimate setting and focusing views on the surrounding landscape. Ipe was chosen specifically for its strength and ability to span the entire depth of the porch without intermediate support. It will weather naturally over time, resulting in a more artistic patina against the dark background.

在室内，橡木是首选材料。所有楼层、厨房橱柜、墙板、楼梯和栏杆均采用一致的切割尺寸和纹理方向。台面是一个屠宰场。

Inside, oak is the primary material of choice. A consistent cut-size and grain direction was used for all floors, kitchen cabinetry, wall panels, stairs, and railings. The countertop is a butcher block.
