When the new owners of the this home that was originally designed by famed Bay Area mid-century architect Joseph Esherick approached Edmonds   Lee to help them renovate the historically-loaded project, the architects felt a sense of deference without obligation, and an enthusiasm for taking on this modestly-sized but historically important house, and giving spatial clarification to their clients’ visions of openness, joy, light, and exploration.

这座房子最初是由著名的海湾地区中叶建筑师约瑟夫·埃舍利克(JosephESherick)设计的。当这座房子的新主人走近埃德蒙兹·李(Edmonds Lee)，帮助他们翻修这个历史悠久的项目时，建筑师们感到了一种没有义务的尊重感，他们热衷于接受这座规模适中但具有历史重要性的房子，并在空间上澄清了客户对开放、欢乐、光明和探索的憧憬。

Edmonds   Lee didn’t enlarge the house’s footprint or square footage, but they did rework the interior plans and spatial sequences in order to design ways to structurally and architecturally give a sense of containment to the newly-expanded interior spaces, brightly-colored pops of paintings and vases, and the expressive maximalism the clients naturally gravitated towards.

埃德蒙兹·李(Edmonds Lee)并没有扩大房子的占地面积或面积，但他们确实重新设计了室内规划和空间序列，以便在结构和建筑上赋予新扩大的室内空间一种包容感，色彩鲜艳的绘画和花瓶，以及客户自然倾向的表现主义。

The Esherick Sea Cliff house itself is a flip plan, with living space on the top floor and bedrooms and a family room on the lower floor, with an entrance that leads right towards a grand staircase that became the central organizing element around which Edmonds   Lee began to operate, keeping it as a spatial cue but removing busy details like posts and guard rails and transforming it into a floating cantilevered structure that brought light into the lower rooms and a sense of logic to the interior space.

埃舍利克海崖别墅本身就是一个翻转方案，顶层和卧室都有居住空间，下层有一个家庭房间，入口一直通向一个大楼梯，这是埃德蒙兹·李(Edmonds Lee)开始运作的主要组织元素，它是一个空间线索，但去掉了柱子和护栏等繁忙的细节，并将其改造成一个漂浮的悬臂式结构，给下层房间带来了亮光，给室内空间带来了一种逻辑感。
