Studio Vara have designed the Diamond House in San Francisco, California.

Vara工作室设计了位于加州旧金山的钻石屋。

Description by Studio Vara: On a steep downhill lot, we attained the rare opportunity to design this new ground-up house in San Francisco; taking advantage of its vertical arrangement to achieve both intimacy and generosity.

Vara工作室描述：在一个陡峭的下坡地段，我们获得了一个难得的机会来设计这座位于旧金山的新建地面房屋；利用它的垂直布置，实现亲密和慷慨。

The three levels balance spatial luxuriousness and fluidity, a disciplined and delicate approach to materials and details, and a multifunctional program for its family of four.

这三个层次平衡了空间的丰富性和流动性，对材料和细节的严格和微妙的处理方法，以及四口之家的多功能程序。

The main level, lifted off the street like a piano nobile, is divided into large open spaces for the living areas and kitchen, which are interwoven with discrete masses: fireplace, powder room, and pantry.

主要的一层，就像钢琴的鼻孔，从街道上升起，被分成大的空地，供起居室和厨房使用，这些空间与独立的群众交织在一起：壁炉、化妆室和储藏室。

In contrast, the top floor benefits from a switchback stair with a central landing that offers communal access to the compact and efficient layout of bedroom suites.

相比之下，顶层则得益于带有中央落地的折叠式楼梯，该楼梯提供了公共通道，可以使用紧凑、高效的卧室套房布局。

The lower level is spatially and materially distinct, and acts as entertaining space and private refuge. The deck and backyard were carefully designed to maximize expansive hill views and to integrate interior and exterior.

较低层次在空间和物质上是不同的，并充当娱乐空间和私人避难所。甲板和后院是精心设计的，以最大限度地扩大山景，并融合了内部和外部。
