这套320平方英尺的车库公寓坐落在一座现存的中世纪住宅下面，坐落在山坡的边缘，它创造性地利用了一个小空间。客户也是项目总承包商的两倍，他们使用共同的固定装置和材料，以使项目尽可能便宜。

Nestled underneath an existing mid-century home on the edge of a hillside, this 320 square-foot garage apartment makes creative use of a small space.  The client, who also doubled as the general contractor on the project, used common fixtures and materials in order to keep the project as inexpensive as possible.

两面墙壁上的半透明墙板为主要居住区域带来了漫射的光线，而隔着北墙的大窗户则将单元与室外露台空间连接起来，给整个公寓带来了更大的感觉。

Translucent wall panels on two walls bring diffused light into the main living area, while large windows across the North wall connect the unit with an outdoor terrace space and give the whole apartment a much larger feel.

以前被忽视的侧院子被重新设计成一个室外座位区，有一个由钢网和回收的雪松片组成的有创意的栅栏。这些木屑在篱笆的网架内独立地转动每个枢轴，允许无限的渗透性变化。

The previously neglected side yard was re-purposed as an outdoor seating area with an inventive fence made of a steel mesh and recycled cedar pieces. These wood scraps each pivot independently within the fence's mesh frame, allowing for infinite variations of permeability.

窗户被战略性地放置在一定的视野中，比如相邻的绿化带，同时也堵住了其他的景观，比如前面的车道。在里面，一个交替的踏板楼梯集双倍作为货架，同时导致一个1/2卧室的阁楼，实际上是悬挂在上面的房子。

The windows are strategically placed to simultaneously frame certain views, such as the neighboring greenbelt, while also blocking others, such as the driveway out front.  Inside, an alternating tread stair set doubles as shelves while leading to a 1/2 bedroom loft that is actually suspended from the house above.
