架构师提供的文本描述。这座房子被设计成一个个人发现的容器，供两个对现代建筑有着良好兴趣的房地产专业人士和他们的两个儿子。房子优雅地拥抱着沙漠水洗的地形褶皱，集中在远处的麦克道尔山脉的东北面。

Text description provided by the architects. This house is designed as a vessel of personal discovery for two real estate professionals with an educated passion for modern architecture and their two sons. Gracefully embracing the topographic fold of a desert wash, the house focuses on the northeasterly view of the McDowell Mountains in the distance.

它简单的棚屋屋顶和深沉的悬垂，是一个雕塑形式的风化钢和铜。一艘用于游泳的大型风化钢船从天然沙漠中浮出，毗邻一片有阴影的凸起的砾石梯田。

With its simple shed roof and deep overhangs, the house is a sculptural form of weathered steel and copper. A large weathered steel vessel for swimming emerges from the natural desert adjacent to a shaded raised gravel terrace.

入口，办公室和卧室，都在上层，有基本的生活和就餐体验，媒体/音乐室和波特的工作室藏在下面。软木和混凝土地板，半透明玻璃墙面，樱桃和不锈钢橱柜连接内部。上层入口和通道被认为是业主艺术收藏的画廊。通往集体居住空间的楼梯与南面倾斜的微妙戏剧格格不入，把你吸引到沙漠之外，在那里，双高的起居室把你带到天空。

Entry, office and bedrooms, are on the upper level with the primary living and dining experience, a media / music chamber and potter’s studio tucked beneath. Cork and concrete floors, wall planes of translucent glass, and cabinets of cherry and stainless steel articulate the interiors. The upper level entry and passage are conceived as galleries for the owners’ art collection. The stair down to the collective living spaces plays against the subtle drama of the angled south façade, to draw you to the desert beyond where the double height living room takes you to the sky.
