架构师提供的文本描述。图森山隐居地位于索诺兰沙漠内；一片极其茂盛、裸露、干旱的土地，散发出一种静谧和永恒的感觉，并蕴藏着神奇比例的神秘。房子的位置小心，以回应邻近的阿罗罗群岛，岩石外种植，古老的仙人掌，动物迁徙路径，空气运动，阳光曝晒和景观。在如此脆弱的环境下，我们投入了巨大的努力，以尽量减少家庭的物质影响，同时试图创造一个地方，作为生活的背景，并加强与令人敬畏的神秘景观的神圣联系。

Text description provided by the architects. The Tucson Mountain Retreat is located within the Sonoran Desert; an extremely lush, exposed, arid expanse of land that emits a sense of stillness and permanency, and holds mysteries of magical proportions. The home is carefully sited in response to the adjacent arroyos, rock out-croppings, ancient cacti, animal migration paths, air movement, sun exposure and views. Great effort was invested to minimize the physical impact of the home in such a fragile environment, while at the same time attempting to create a place that would serve as a backdrop to life and strengthen the sacred connections to the awe-inspiring mystical landscape.

故意将停车场与房子隔离开来，人们必须沿着狭窄的步道向房子走去，穿过密密麻麻的仙人掌和帕洛维德(Palo佛得角)，在每一步进步的步道上都能看到房屋的直接景致，这样才能穿过沙漠，慢慢地从地面上露出来。进入顺序，一系列有趣的具体步骤，溶入沙漠。当一个人上升时，每一步都提供了另一种选择和一种新的冒险。通过这一过程，运动减缓，感官被激发，城市生活的匆忙被抛之脑后。房屋主要是用夯土建造的，这种材料使用了广泛可用的土壤，提供了理想的热质量，几乎没有对环境造成不良影响。从历史上讲，乡土到干旱地区，它很适合索诺兰沙漠，但同时它也体现了内在的诗性，使所有体验到它的人的视觉、触觉和听觉都能感受到。

Intentionally isolating the parking over 400 feet from the house, one must traverse and engage the desert by walking along a narrow footpath toward the house, passing through a dense clustered area of cacti and Palo Verde that obscure direct views of the home  Upon each progressive footstep, the house slowly reveals itself, rising out of the ground. The entry sequence, a series of playfully engaging concrete steps, dissolves into the desert. As one ascends, each step offers an alternative decision and a new adventure. Through this process, movement slows and senses are stimulated, leaving the rush of city life behind.  The home is primarily made of Rammed Earth, a material that uses widely available soil, provides desirable thermal mass and has virtually no adverse environmental side effects. Historically vernacular to arid regions, it fits well within the Sonoran Desert, while at the same time it embodies inherent poetic qualities that engage the visual, tactile and auditory senses of all who experience it.

家庭节目分为三个独立的区域：居住、睡觉和音乐录制/家庭娱乐。每个区域必须通过离开被占领的区域、跨过外部并进入不同的空间来访问。这种分离解决了客户想要的声音分离，同时提供了一个独特的机会，不断体验原始的沙漠景观。

The program of the home is divided into three distinct and isolated zones; living, sleeping, and music recording/home entertainment.  Each zone must be accessed by leaving the occupied zone, stepping outside, and entering a different space.  This separation resolves the clients’ desired acoustic separation while at the same time, offers a unique opportunity to continuously experience the raw desert landscape.

该设计植根于沙漠，那里的水总是稀缺，它包含了一个慷慨的30，000加仑雨水收集系统和一个先进的过滤系统，使我们最宝贵的资源可供所有家庭使用。

Rooted in the desert, where water is always scarce, the design incorporates a generous 30,000 gallon rainwater harvesting system with an advanced filtration system that makes our most precious resource available for all household uses.

通过沿着东西轴以线性的方式将房屋定向，并将狭窄的东西正面的门窗开口最小化，太阳能热增益降低了。主要的居住空间和睡眠空间延伸到露台，向南延伸，在深深的悬垂下开放，这使得人们可以清晰地看到索诺兰沙漠的景色，并进入索诺兰沙漠。悬垂提供避暑的地方，同时允许冬季阳光进入地面和墙壁并被动加热。它们还能刮起盛行的南风，并加强交叉通风，通过调整从地板到天花板的滑动玻璃门，可以灵活控制交叉通风。当大玻璃门被完全打开时，房子被改造了，让人联想到一种无边无际的华美达式的精神，在那里沙漠和家园成为一体。

Solar heat gain is reduced by orienting the house in a linear fashion along an east–west axis, and by minimizing door and window openings in the narrow east and west facades.  The main living and the sleeping spaces extend into patios and open toward the south under deep overhangs that allow unadulterated views and access to the Sonoran Desert. The overhangs provide shelter from the summer sun while allowing winter sunlight to enter and passively heat the floors and walls. They also scoop prevailing southerly breezes and enhance cross ventilation, which can be flexibly controlled by adjusting the floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors.  When the large glass doors are fully opened, the house is transformed, evoking a boundless ramada-like spirit where the desert and home become one.
