蝴蝶隐居是加州圣露西亚保留区的费尔德曼建筑设计的一座单层住宅。蝴蝶退场赢得芝加哥雅典-2015美国建筑奖

Description by Feldman Architecture: The clients approached Feldman Architecture to design a retreat for eventual retirement and visits from their grown children—a retreat befitting the natural beauty of the location in the Santa Lucia Preserve, a 20,000 acre private development and land trust near Carmel, California.

FeldmanArchitecture的描述：客户与FeldmanArchitecture接洽，为最终退休和从他们长大的孩子那里参观而设计了一个退场---这是一个符合圣卢西亚保护区的自然美的地方。圣卢西亚保护区是一个20,000英亩的私人开发和土地信任，位于加州卡门附近。

The clients were meticulous in the selection of the site, searching for two years for a spectacular piece of land that was flat enough to accommodate living on one level. In an initial meeting with Feldman Architecture, the clients noted their vision of butterflies alighting on the meadow site, which the architects took as inspiration. They also expressed a desire to integrate indoor and outdoor spaces with a simple, modern aesthetic and to provide separate spaces for their visitors.

客户精心挑选了这块地皮，花了两年时间寻找一块足够平地住在一层楼上的壮观的土地。在与Feldman建筑公司的初步会面中，客户注意到他们对蝴蝶在草地上飞翔的看法，这是建筑师们的灵感所在。他们还表示希望将室内和室外空间与简单、现代的审美结合起来，并为游客提供单独的空间。

Sitting lightly on the land, the house is divided into three pavilions that are topped by expressive butterfly roofs. Each pavilion has a separate function: the central pavilion houses the main living, dining, and cooking spaces, while two other pavilions provide for sleeping, bathing, and relaxing. The structures are modest in size, yet each expands into an outdoor room that opens up to dramatic views of the canyon below and hills above.

这座房子轻轻地坐在地上，分成三个亭子，上面有表现力的蝴蝶屋顶。每个展馆都有一个独立的功能：中央展馆容纳了主要的生活、就餐和烹饪空间，而另外两个展馆则提供睡眠、洗澡和放松。这些建筑体积不大，但每一间都扩展成一个室外房间，可以看到下面的峡谷和上面的小山。

Beyond poetic gesture, the butterfly roofs bring in views of the surrounding hills, expand the main living spaces into the outdoors and also harvest rainwater. Water, an increasingly limited resource, is celebrated throughout the design. Each roof funnels water to a rain chain fountain and into landscape collection pools, which then gather in cisterns where it is stored and used to irrigate the landscape. In addition, the pavilions were sited to allow storm water to flow under the office bridge during the rainy season and seep slowly into the ground in the main courtyard.

除了诗意的姿态之外，蝴蝶屋顶还能看到周围的山峦，将主要的居住空间扩展到户外，并收获雨水。水是一种越来越有限的资源，在整个设计过程中都受到人们的欢迎。每个屋顶将水输送到一个雨水链喷泉中，然后进入景观收集池，然后收集在蓄水池中，将其储存起来，并用于灌溉景观。此外，亭台楼阁的位置是为了让雨水在雨季流过办公室的桥梁，然后慢慢地渗入主庭院的地面。

The neutral palette of the house—concrete floors and walls, large glass openings, plywood ceilings, and steel structure—flows from indoors to outdoors. The use of concrete and large expanses of glass acts as a heat sink—absorbing heat from the sunlight all day and releasing that heat at night. The house uses little energy as a result of extensive daylighting and passive thermal strategies. A large solar array located out-of-sight provides much of the energy that is used.

房子的中性调色板-混凝土地板和墙壁、大玻璃开口、胶合板天花板和钢结构-从室内流向室外。使用混凝土和大面积的玻璃作为散热器-白天从阳光中吸收热量并在夜间释放热量。由于广泛的采光和被动式热策略，这座房子很少使用能源。位于视线之外的大型太阳能阵列提供了大量所使用的能量.
