架构师提供的文本描述。在历史悠久的布伦特伍德社区居住了十年，并充分意识到它独特的品质，业主们计划扩建他们1950年的房子。拆除这座平淡无奇的建筑，最终证明是更好的解决方案。由此产生的4 200平方英尺住宅于2011年9月完工。

Text description provided by the architects. Having lived in the historic Brentwood neighborhood for a decade and well aware of its unique quality, the owners had planned to expand their 1950’s house. Demolishing the unremarkable structure and building from ground up ultimately turned out to be the better solution. The resulting 4,200 square foot residence was completed in September 2011.

在严格的法规要求一个世纪中期的人文现代主义理想和对其价值的欣赏的启发下，设计是对其内在品质的当代诠释和庆祝，并对可持续性给予了更多的关注。

Inspired by strict regulations demanding a mid-century ideal of humane modernism and appreciative of its values, the design is a contemporary interpretation and celebration of its inherent qualities, with an added strong focus on sustainability.

在树木茂密的峡谷上方，一个陡峭的下坡地点需要街道的低姿态和仔细的空间定位来保存景观，同时使这座相当大的住宅看起来与邻里保持适度的比例。

A steep down-slope site above a wooded canyon required a low profile from the street and the careful positioning of the volumes to preserve views, while making the comparably large home appear modestly scaled in keeping with the neighborhood.

聚集的概念包括一个简单的大开玻璃空间共享的生活空间，包裹在三维周围的一个坚实的较小的房间带，也保持业主的隐私从街道。与历史环境紧密结合，房子的特点是典型的透明牧师在不透明的墙壁和一个浮平屋顶暴露钢梁。

The massing concept consists of a simple large open glass volume for the shared living spaces, wrapped around three-dimensionally by a solid band of smaller rooms that also maintain the owner’s privacy from the street. Closely integrated into the historic surroundings, the house features a typical transparent clerestory above the opaque walls and a floating flat roof with exposed steel beams.

理想的内-外关系，开放性和对工艺和细节的注意是实现了釉钢后梁结构。在可能的情况下，混凝土挡土墙暴露在外面，与钢和可持续收获的热带硬木墙板形成对比。

The desired inside-outside relationships, openness and attention to craft and detailing were achieved with a glazed steel post-and-beam structure. The concrete retaining walls are left exposed where possible and contrast with the steel and the sustainably harvested tropical hardwood siding.

光伏玻璃面板为房子提供动力，在露台上提供一个宁静的点点光线，同时，随着深屋顶的悬垂，他们帮助它遮荫。自然通风是通过放置可操作的窗户和折叠玻璃墙，打开大甲板，沿着盛行的微风的路径来促进和鼓励的。

Photovoltaic glass panels power the house and offer a serene dappled light on the terrace while, along with deep roof overhangs, they help shade it. Natural ventilation is facilitated and encouraged through the placement of operable windows and folding glass walls, opening to the large deck, along the path of the prevailing breezes.

在整个房子里，峡谷、树木、遥远的海洋和海岸线的景色都是精心设计的，以达到最大限度的享受和隐私。空间向外延伸，周围的景观不断融入设计中。进入顺序穿过坚固的周边房间带，穿过一扇由天窗遮住的玻璃门，进入大空间，当一个人穿过独立厨房的音量后，这一空间终于戏剧性地打开了。

Throughout the house, views of the canyon, the trees and the distant ocean and shoreline are carefully framed for maximum enjoyment as well as privacy. Spaces are extended outward and the surrounding landscape is continually incorporated into the design. The entry sequence leads through the solid perimeter band of rooms, through a glazed door sheltered by a skylight, into the large space, which finally opens up dramatically after one passes behind the freestanding kitchen volume.

内置的桃花心木橱柜和书架，包括一个完全旋转的书架墙，将书房隔开，并在书架和电视机之间提供选择，有助于保持高空间的开放和整洁。

Built-in mahogany cabinets and shelves, including a fully rotating shelf wall separating a study and offering a choice between bookshelves and a TV, help to keep the tall space open and uncluttered.

老房子的屋顶梁被重新设计成台阶和长凳，并补充了主要的抗旱景观。

Roof beams from the old house were repurposed as steps and benches throughout and complement the largely drought-resistant landscaping.
