Text by Belzberg Architects: The new Bridge Residence turned the challenge of a sloping site into an opportunity to evoke quiet seclusion while creating a grand statement. The taller wing of the L-shaped house abuts a foothill to the east and features textured, dry-stacked Hera limestone that forms a predominantly opaque façade facing the neighbors uphill. Conversely, three levels of floor-to-ceiling glass, protected by deep, faceted frames, opens downhill into the site. This juxtaposition, while using divergent architectural languages, optimizes privacy, solar orientation, and use of the site.

贝尔茨伯格建筑师的文字：新的桥梁住宅把一个倾斜的地点的挑战变成了一个机会，以唤起安静的隐居，同时创造一个宏伟的声明。L形房屋的较高翼紧靠着东面的一座山脚，其特征是质地分明、层叠干燥的赫拉石灰岩，形成了一个面向邻居上坡的主要不透明的立面。相反，三层地板到天花板的玻璃，由深的，多面的框架保护，打开下坡进入现场。这种并列，同时使用不同的建筑语言，优化隐私，太阳方向，和网站的使用。

Surrounded by a mature oak grove, the building accommodates access to the outdoors from each floor as the landscape slopes. Not only are connections from the house to the exterior important, but views through are used to accentuate the ubiquity of the verdant surroundings, the pinnacle of this is evident in the kitchen. Conceived as the control center or “bridge” of the house, the kitchen’s generous volume projects perpendicular from the hill, giving it high visibility upon arrival and to the other wing of the house. The nearly 12’ space, with floor-to-ceiling glazing on the north and south sides, appears to float when doors on both sides of the garage/multi-purpose room below are open. Its appearance emphasizes the relationship between the built form and the outdoors, and the kitchen’s place as the focal point of the home.

在一片成熟的橡树林的环绕下，这座建筑可以从每一层作为景观斜坡进入户外。不仅从房子到外部的连接很重要，而且透过视野来强调绿色环境的无处不在，这一点在厨房中是显而易见的。厨房被认为是房子的控制中心或“桥梁”，厨房的庞大体积与山丘垂直，在到达时和房子的另一边都有很高的能见度。这个近12英尺的空间，北面和南侧都有从地板到天花板的玻璃，当车库/多用途房的两边的门都打开时，这片空间似乎浮起了水面。它的外观强调建筑形式与户外的关系，厨房的位置是家庭的焦点。
