This new single family house floats over the steep hillside in Echo Park, California. Anonymous Architects have designed this contemporary home for a young family with four members. The placement of the Echo Park house was very important to avoid removing any of the mature Cypress trees that surround the house. In one case the house surrounds the tree as the tree penetrates through the house. Waterproofing a tree in this situation proved to be very challenging but the system works to keep water out of the house.

这座新的单身家庭住宅漂浮在加州回声公园陡峭的山坡上。匿名建筑师为一个有四名成员的年轻家庭设计了这座当代住宅。安置回声公园的房子是非常重要的，以避免移除任何成熟的柏树周围的房子。在一种情况下，当树穿过房子时，房子围绕着树。在这种情况下，一棵树的防水被证明是非常具有挑战性的，但该系统的工作是将水挡在屋外。

To maintain privacy, the house is located close to the center of the lot to create a buffer between it – and other adjoining conditions such as a public street and other houses. In an effort to blend into the wooded environment there is a heavy use of wood – both outside and inside. The exterior uses fire treated cedar siding which is a rating required by local building codes.

为了保持隐私，房子位于靠近地块中心的地方，以在它和其他毗邻的环境(如公共街道和其他房屋)之间建立一个缓冲。为了融入树木繁茂的环境，大量使用木材-无论是外部还是内部。外部使用经防火处理的雪松墙板，这是当地建筑规范所要求的等级。

Echo公园的房子被设想成一个屋檐下的两个独立的单元。房子的主要部分是两间卧室，是为一个四口之家设计的。另一个组件-由室外风道隔开-由一间卧室、一个起居室、一个浴室和一个厨房组成。这个次要区域每天都用作办公和娱乐场所，但可以很容易地与主空间隔绝，供来访的朋友或家人使用。
