Cliff Dwelling is a renovation project recently completed by Specht Architects.

悬崖住宅是斯佩克特建筑师最近完成的一项修缮工程。

From the architects: Suspended on a narrow limestone ridge halfway down a cliff overlooking Lake Austin, this home builds upon the frame of an existing 1970s-era structure. The renovation re-works the processional sequence into and through the house making it habitable for an elderly couple, enhancing engagement with the dramatic site, and incorporating elements that have personal importance to the owners.

来自建筑师：悬挂在一个狭窄的石灰岩山脊半山腰的悬崖俯瞰奥斯丁湖，这所房子建立在一个现有的1970年代的结构框架。翻修改造了进屋和穿过房屋的进场顺序，使其适合一对老年夫妇居住，加强了与戏剧性场地的接触，并纳入了对业主具有个人重要性的因素。

The original entry was via a dangerous exterior ramp that ran from street level down to a front door, 25’ below. One now enters via a light-filled pavilion that overlooks the lake and opens onto a large rooftop herb garden. A sequence of stairs, supplemented by an elevator, descends through the three levels of the house, revealing views of both the lake and the limestone cliff.

最初的入口是通过一个危险的外部坡道，从街道水平一直延伸到前门，25英尺以下。一个人现在通过一个光线充足的亭子进入，俯瞰湖面，并打开一个巨大的屋顶草药花园。一串楼梯，辅之以一部电梯，从房子的三层向下延伸，展现了湖和石灰岩悬崖的景色。设计团队：Scott Specht，Louise Harpman，Brett Wolfe
