架构师提供的文本描述。这座位于密尔谷的5，000平方英尺的房子是为一对空巢夫妇设计的.该遗址是建筑的灵感和指导元素：巨大的山景。塔玛尔派斯，与红木树林的亲密联系，和陡峭的斜坡。考虑到它的位置，沿着山坡，挤在红树林之间，房子被分成三层，下层建在山坡上，而上面两层则阳光明媚，景色宜人。

Text description provided by the architects. This 5,000-square-foot house in Mill Valley was designed as a home for an empty-nester couple. The site was the inspiration and the guiding element for the architecture: vast views of Mt. Tamalpais, intimate connections to groves of redwood trees, and a steep incline. Given its location, stepping up the hillside and squeezed between redwoods, the home is stratified into three levels.The lower floor is built into the hillside, while the upper two are open to daylight and views.

一楼包括车库、入口、绘画工作室、画廊和客人宿舍。入口是一个两层高的空间，有一个通往二楼的楼梯-主要的生活层-连接到外面，从多个方向看风景。这个双高的空间，房子的核心空间，有一个很大的窗户海湾，集中在10英尺远的一片红木树林上。顶层有两间卧室，一间家庭办公室和一座通往上院落和游泳池的横冲直撞的桥。

The first floor includes the garage, entry, painting studio, gallery, and guest quarters. The entry is a two-story space with a staircase leading up to the second floor—the main living level--which connects to the outside with views in many directions. This double-height space, the spatial core of the house, has a large bay of windows focused on a grove of redwood trees just 10 feet away. The top floor contains two bedrooms, a home office, and a ramped bridge that leads to anupper yard and pool.

天然铜是主要的外部材料，包裹在二楼的房屋，强调主要居住空间的位置。第二层以下的墙是暴露的混凝土，上面的是水泥灰泥。室内唤起了乡村画廊的感觉，有白色的墙壁，广阔的玻璃和宽阔的木板橡木地板。

Natural copper is the primary exterior material, wrapping the second floor of the house to emphasize the location of the main living spaces. Walls below the second level are exposed concrete; those above are cement plaster. The interior evokes the feeling of a gallery in the country, with white walls, expanses of glass, and wide-plank oak floors.
