架构师提供的文本描述。这座房子的新月形是从地形和景观中形成的，镶嵌在山坡上，类似于北加利福尼亚小山的温和弯曲。建筑物是为了最大限度地保护当地植被，包括海岸活橡树和马德隆树标本。几棵地标树在入口处或前景中成为焦点。简单的体积，包覆在预先风化的白灰锌，旨在退让进入纹理的景观。

Text description provided by the architects. The crescent plan of the house derives its form from topography and landscape, embedded in the hillside and similar to the gentle curvature of the Northern California hills. Structures are placed for maximum preservation of native vegetation, including specimen Coast Live Oak and Madrone trees. Several landmark trees become focal points at entry or in foreground views. The simple volumes, clad in pre-weathered pewter-gray zink, are intended to recede into the texture of the landscape.

垂直‘站立缝’鳍在包层创造一个随机间隔的阴影模式，如阴影松树和红杉在网站上。威尼斯的小石膏板在房间里点缀着土地、太阳和天空的颜色，回忆起伊姆斯或尼尔森的设计，或理查德·迪本科恩的画。玻璃是“Solex Green”，用于视觉上与景观的和谐；可操作的窗户是桃花心木，因为其温暖，并与建筑传统的地方，包括梅贝克，摩尔，埃舍利克，艾希勒和卡恩。代替悬垂，阴影是提供半透明的玻璃罩-高棉薄蓝过滤器的海湾地区，阳光明媚的阴天一月的日子。

Vertical ‘standing seam’ fins in the cladding create a randomly-spaced shadow pattern like shadows of Pines and Redwoods on the site. Small panels of venetian plaster punctuate rooms with colors of land, sun, and sky, recalling Eames or Nelson design, or the paintings of Richard Diebenkorn. Glass is ‘solex green’, for visual harmony with landscape; operable windows are mahogany for their warmth, and linkage to architectural traditions of the place, including Maybeck, Moore, Esherick, Eichler, and Kahn. In lieu of overhangs, shade is provided by translucent fiberglass awnings—gossamer thin blue filters for the Bay Area sun—luminous for overcast January days.

这座房子是由光线和阴影、外部和内部以及私人和公共空间组成的舞蹈编排。从上面的入口下来，一个有框架的海湾景观向游客介绍了房子和它的自然环境。这种运动感-穿过窗户的座位，穿过门，穿过房间-在整个房子里都带着一种感官的新鲜和连续性。主客厅通过玻璃和滑动隔断扩展到悬臂木甲板和草坪露台；边界通过通风的穿孔金属栏杆和半透明的玻璃罩溶入景观。

The house is a choreography of light and shadow, of exterior and interior, and private and public spaces. Descending from the entry above, a framed bay view introduces the visitor to the house and its natural surroundings. The sense of movement—past window seats, through doors, across rooms—carries a sensual freshness and continuity throughout the house. The main sitting room expands through glass and sliding partitions to a cantilevered wood deck and lawn terrace; boundaries dissolve into the landscape through airy perforated metal railings and translucent fiberglass awnings.

花园对面的音乐工作室把几英尺深埋在地上，把窗台放在了地面上。室内有混响的混凝土地板，有多面墙壁衬里的木材，石膏和织物吸收，扩散和反射声音。在概念上，这些轻薄的折页是石盒里的折纸迷，为制作和听音乐的体验提供了形式。

The music studio across the garden is inset several feet in the earth, placing window sills at grade. The interiors have reverberant concrete floor, with faceted wall linings of wood, plaster, and fabric to absorb, diffuse, and reflect sound. In concept these lightweight foldings are origami fans within stone boxes, giving form to the experiences of making and hearing music.

这是一座由它的场地构成的建筑，一种与自然环境的色调和地形相融合的抽象，向崇高的树木繁茂的园地俯视。它被认为是一个拥抱的巢穴，以拥抱家庭和他们居住的房子和景观，适应不同的生活阶段。它将促进一种生活方式的色彩固有的美丽和奇迹的地方。随着光线、天气和季节模式的不断变化，它将是一个不断参与创造力和感官的地方-一个精确比例和比例、纹理和精致的组合。

This is an architecture formed of its site, an abstraction blended with the tone and topography of its natural context, deferring to the sublime wooded garden site. It is conceived as an enfolding nest to embrace the family and their habitation of house and landscape, adapting through stages of living. It will foster a lifestyle colored by the inherent beauty and wonder of the place. Constantly shifting with patterns of light, weather and season, it will be a place of continual engagement of creativity and the senses—a composition of precise proportion and scale, texture and refinement.
