Located just 20 miles from Las Vegas on the outskirts of a historical mining town of 290 residents, Rubber Ducky Trail House is situated on the banks of a desert arroyo and against the backdrop of millions of acres of public-access wilderness and trails.

位于距拉斯维加斯仅20英里，在一个有290名居民的历史矿业城镇的郊区，橡胶达克步道大厦坐落在沙漠阿罗约的河岸上，背景是数百万英亩的公共通道荒野和小径。

This arroyo cuts through a 1-acre lot, effectively slicing off 2/3 of the property from the rest of the town of Blue Diamond, and rendering most of the site undevelopable. Although limited by topography, the remaining buildable area offered unparalleled views in three primary directions: up the arroyo toward a rim the locals refer to as “The Cirque”; across the arroyo toward Blue Diamond Hill; and back over the town of Blue Diamond toward the picturesque Rainbow Mountain and Bridge Mountain.

这个阿罗约通过一个1英亩的土地，有效地分割了2/3的财产从其余的蓝钻石镇，并使大部分的土地无法开发。尽管受地形的限制，其余的建筑区在三个主要方向提供了无与伦比的景观：沿着阿罗约向当地人称为“马戏团”的边缘前进；穿过阿罗约向蓝钻石山；以及返回蓝钻石镇向风景如画的彩虹山和桥山。

Each of the principal spaces in the home needed to capture at least one primary view. Simplified programmatically and architecturally into functional volumes, each of the cubes frame one of the primary views, capture pieces of secondary views, and provide privacy from neighboring properties, hikers, mountain bikers, and the occasional wild burro or coyote.

住宅中的每个主空间至少需要捕捉一个主视图。每个立方体在编程上和体系结构上简化为功能卷，每个立方体构成一个主要视图，捕获次要视图片段，并提供来自相邻属性、徒步旅行者、山地骑车人以及偶尔的野生驴子或土狼的隐私。

A limited palette of materials and a minimal aesthetic are fitting to the stark, weathered, Mojave Desert setting. Perched somewhat precariously on the site, the bank of the arroyo seems to have been worn away over time exposing a raw concrete foundation. Crossing the arroyo gives access to world-class hiking and mountain biking trails with names such as “Hurl Trail”, “Landmine Loop”, “Lawnmower” and “Rubber Ducky Trail”.

有限的材料调色板和最低限度的审美适合严酷的，风化的，莫哈韦沙漠环境。阿罗约河岸在工地上的位置有点不稳定，似乎随着时间的推移而磨损，暴露出一个原始的混凝土地基。穿越阿罗约可以进入世界一流的徒步旅行和山地自行车道，其名字有“呼啸小径”、“地雷环路”、“劳恩割草机”和“橡胶达克小径”。
