架构师提供的文本描述。布伦特伍德住宅位于圣莫尼卡山麓的一大片风景如画的地段。由于该地段没有提供任何直接的意见，从可建设的地区的房地产，构成项目的结构是设计为相互吸引，同时集中精力建设和自然景观的内部。

Text description provided by the architects. The Brentwood Residence is located on a large picturesque lot in the foothills of the Santa Monica Mountains. Because the lot did not offer any immediate views from the buildable area of the property, the structures that comprise the project were designed to engage each other while focusing attention on the built and natural landscape within.

该地段的特点是一个巨大的加州橡树在网站的后半部，作为重点的正式游行通过项目。为了对抗网站规划的正式设置，已经设置了空间组织，以挑战已建立的轴而不侵蚀它。为了实现这一点，路径被有意地设计成溶解并沿着路线重新出现。这条线清楚地将主住宅的正式起居区与非正式的公共空间分开，但它被构成外部的复杂的联锁几何和不对称的体积所抵消。

The lot features a large California Oak tree on the rear half of the site which serves as the focal point of the formal procession through the project. To counteract the formal setup of the site plan the spatial organization has been setup to challenge the established axis without eroding it. To achieve this, pathways have been intentionally designed to dissolve and reappear along the route. The line clearly divides the formal living area of the main house from the informal public spaces but it is counteracted by the complex interlocking geometry and asymmetrical volumes that make up the exterior.

作为对经典中古设计调色板的敬意，这座房子的材料组成包括钢铁抹灰、宾夕法尼亚蓝石和芒加里斯木墙板。

As a homage to the palette of classic Mid-Century design, the house features a material composition of steel troweled plaster, gauged and stacked Pennsylvania Bluestone, and Mangaris wood siding.
