This modern home is a 3-story 3 bedroom 2500 square foot residence designed by ShubinDonaldson on a hilltop in Santa Barbara, California. The site is an up sloping wedge shaped piece of land on a narrow lot. The Skyline Residence is designed for a young family with 2 children. The owner is an industrial designer intent on creating a home consistent with his design values: modern, functional and efficient yet comfortable. Also, his desire was to create a home with a limited palette of materials ultra responsive to the site constraints and view opportunities. The site provides 270-degree ocean and mountain views that the owner wanted to optimize. The home is an upside down home with the main living level on the top floor. Fully utilizing the site, the main living areas sits on the top 3rd floor with panoramic Pacific Ocean views looking south and west. The bedrooms sit on the 2nd floor and the service areas like garage and laundry bury into the ground floor.

这座现代住宅是一座3层3层卧室2500平方英尺的住宅，由ShubinDonaldson设计，位于加利福尼亚州圣巴巴拉的一个山顶上。这个遗址是一片倾斜的楔形土地，在一片狭小的土地上。Skyline住宅是为一个有两个孩子的年轻家庭设计的。业主是一个工业设计师，致力于创造一个符合他的设计价值观：现代，功能和效率，但舒适。此外，他的愿望是创造一个有限的材料调色板的家园，对网站的限制和查看机会的超响应。该网站提供270度的海洋和山景，业主希望优化。房子是一个颠倒的家，主要的生活水平在顶层。充分利用这一地点，主要的生活区位于顶层3楼，俯瞰南、西太平洋全景。卧室位于二楼，服务区如车库和洗衣房都埋在一楼。

The main challenge was to “wedge” this home into a narrow complex shape of constraints and opportunities provided by the hillside site, zoning requirements and neighborhood context. These constraints resulted in a unique formal solution deploying a concrete and steel structural frame to maximize the formal responsiveness of the structure.

主要的挑战是“楔入”这个房子，形成一个狭窄的复杂形状，由山坡场地、分区要求和周边环境提供的限制和机会。这些约束导致了一个独特的正式解决方案，部署混凝土和钢结构框架，以最大化结构的正式响应能力。

Due to the complexity of the form, the material palette for the home was limited to wood, cast concrete, steel and glass. The Skyline Residence has a central stair that cuts up through the home with a skylight above that allows daylight to penetrate the home and light it from within.

由于形状的复杂性，房屋的材料调色板仅限于木料、浇铸混凝土、钢和玻璃。天际线住宅有一个中央楼梯，它穿过房屋，上面有一个天窗，允许日光穿透房屋，并从内部照亮它。

Environmentally, the home is cooled passively by ocean breezes, lit evenly during the day by daylight, and Ipe wood screens minimize sun load on the extensive view windows.

在环境方面，家庭是被动地由海风冷却，白天阳光照射均匀，伊贝木防晒霜将阳光在广阔的窗户上的负荷降到最低。

The benign climate encourages an indoor-outdoor living style and the home flows onto strategically placed outdoor patios for outdoor living. Every square foot of this small site is used as living area, whether indoors or out.

良好的气候鼓励室内-室外的生活方式，家庭流向战略位置的户外露台进行户外生活。这个小场地的每一平方英尺都被用作居住区域，无论是室内还是室外。
