架构师提供的文本描述。这个洛斯加托斯家的设计是为了捕捉圣克鲁斯山脉的美景，因为它坐落在山坡上的南面斜坡上。客户想用自然光来填充房子，在那里，现有的房子在南侧有低矮的突出屋檐，限制了视野和自然光线。

Text description provided by the architects. This Los Gatos home was designed to capture the amazing views of the Santa Cruz Mountains as the home sits nestled into the hillside on a south-facing slope. The clients wanted to fill the house with natural light, where the existing house had low overhanging eaves on the south side, limiting the view and natural light.

业主们想要确保他们的房子外面没有任何维护，所以我们选择了瑞士明珠纤维水泥板，采用了防雨屏系统，在夏天保持房子的凉爽，并允许墙板和防水之间有一个透气的屏障。这个系统不需要维护，不需要染色，也不需要在必要时擦去灰尘，这使它成为恶劣山区天气的理想选择。

The owners wanted to ensure they had a no maintenance exterior to their home so we chose Swiss Pearl, fiber cement panels utilizing a rain-screen system, which keeps the house cooler in the summer, and allows a breathable barrier between the siding and the waterproofing. This system requires no maintenance, no staining and no painting just wipe of the dust when necessary, which makes it an ideal choice for the harsh mountain weather.
