Description by Feldman Architecture: The clients of The Sanctuary, recent empty-nesters planning ahead to retirement, hoped to downsize and simplify in the design of their new Palo Alto home. When the clients purchased the property, an old wooden fence across the front yard and original house closed off the site from the street. Behind this rough and aged presentation however was an urban refuge of lush vegetation throughout the deep lot. This sense of discovery served as the original inspiration for the design of the house and directed both architect and client to its culmination.

费尔德曼建筑描述：庇护所的客户，最近的空巢计划退休前，希望缩小规模和简化设计，他们的新帕洛阿尔托家。当客户购买该房产时，前院对面的一个旧木栅栏和原来的房子从街道上关闭了。然而，在这粗糙而古老的展示背后，却是一座城市避难所，遍布着整个深谷中茂盛的植被。这种发现感是对房子设计的最初灵感，并指导建筑师和客户达到顶峰。

The proximity of the downtown Palo Alto area by foot and bike was fundamental to the clients’ decision to purchase this lot, and their belief in building to a higher density in an urban setting lead to the inclusion of a second story apartment. The couple fell in love with the overgrown garden and its obvious potential, approaching Bernard Trainor   Associates to help them enhance the landscape; retaining scenes of serenity and surprise while creating more of a cohesive and modern feel. Through their collaboration with the BTA team, the clients connected with our firm, bringing with them a desire to design a long-lasting modern house that fit comfortably into the surrounding neighborhood while featuring its unique and charming landscape.

帕洛阿尔托市区的步行和自行车距离非常近，这对客户决定购买这片土地至关重要，他们相信在城市环境中以更高的密度建造，这导致了一套二层公寓的出现。这对夫妇爱上了这座过度生长的花园及其明显的潜力，与伯纳德·特拉诺(Bernard Trainor Associates)接洽，帮助他们改善景观；保留宁静和惊喜的场景，同时创造出一种更有凝聚力和现代感的感觉。通过与bta团队的合作，我们的客户与我们的公司建立了联系，带来了一种设计一个长期的现代住宅的愿望，它能舒适地适应周围的社区，同时具有独特和迷人的景观。

The house is sited quietly behind the large heritage oak tree with its canopy stretching across the generously sized front yard. After passing under its branches, guests are lead through a series of courtyards and view gardens that weave through the undulating footprint of the building. Each interior space is paired with its own landscape moment, allowing the architecture and landscape to flow into each other.

这座房子静静地坐落在大型传统橡树的后面，它的天篷横跨宽大的前院。经过它的枝干后，客人们被领着穿过一系列庭院，看到花园，这些花园编织在建筑物起伏的脚印中。每个室内空间都与自己的景观时刻成对，让建筑和景观相互流动。

The structure floats on stilts of piers, allowing the building to participate in dialogue with the trees on site while protecting the root areas. The floor plate projects beyond the building envelope and dissolves into balconies to blur the sense of indoor/outdoor while at the same time lifting the building up from the ground. Even the driveway is constructed out of floating concrete structural slabs supported on piers to minimize the impact on the heritage oak tree. By expanding the living area to spill into the outdoor spaces, our teams provided ample room for the clients to entertain their ever expanding family.

该结构漂浮在桥墩的高跷上，允许建筑物在保护根部的同时与现场的树木进行对话。楼板超出了建筑的围护结构，溶入阳台，模糊了室内/室外的感觉，同时将建筑物从地面上抬起来。甚至车道也是用浮在桥墩上的混凝土结构板建造的，以尽量减少对遗产橡树的影响。通过扩大起居面积，扩大到室外空间，我们的团队为客户提供了足够的空间来娱乐他们不断扩大的家庭。

Three pavilions span the depth of the lot. The thoughtfully placed second story apartment is designed for rentals. Below, board-formed concrete walls serve as organizing elements in the main residence which separate private from public areas. Diffused natural light streams into the space throughout the day, working gently with the clean material palette of concrete and Alaskan yellow cedar. The Sanctuary was constructed as a modern house that allows the landscape to speak first. The design features its many hidden courtyards, inviting guests to experience the same sense of wonder that first drew our clients to this urban oasis.

三个亭子跨越了很多的深度。精心布置的二楼公寓是专为出租而设计的。在下面，委员会形成的混凝土墙用作主要住宅中的组织元件，其将私人与公共区域分开。整个白天将自然光线扩散到空间中，用混凝土和阿拉斯加黄色雪松的清洁材料调色板轻柔地工作。避难所被建造为一座现代化的房子，允许景观首先发言。设计的特点是它的许多隐藏的庭院，邀请客人体验同样的奇迹，首先让我们的客户来到这个城市绿洲。
