Toro Canyon Residence was designed by ShubinDonaldson, mixing concrete, steel, and glass to create a sophisticated effect. The house is located in Montecito, California, USA. This residence on a 10-acre site is approached via a narrow, tree covered drive, ending at a small clearing with views of the Pacific Ocean and Channel Islands. The residence is sited on axis with the canyon and views beyond.

Toro峡谷住宅由ShubinDonaldson设计，混合混凝土、钢和玻璃，以创造复杂的效果。这座房子位于美国加利福尼亚州的蒙托西托。这个10英亩土地上的住宅是通过一条狭窄的树木覆盖的车道靠近的，最后是一个小空地，可以看到太平洋和海峡群岛。住宅位于峡谷的轴线上，视野更远。

The building presents three one story, wedge shaped volumes; a carport /service volume to the north, a public living volume to the south west and a private sleeping volume to the south east.

这座建筑有三层楼高，呈楔形；北面有载货/服务区，西南有公共生活区，东南有私人睡房。

Constructed of laminated glass beams and roof panels, with glass doors, the entry space is conceptualized as a transparent exterior connection between the private and public wings of the house. The exterior walls are constructed of 12” thick insulated cast-in-place concrete, and a metal roof helps to provide maximum fire resistance in this secluded canyon. Interior floors are lightweight concrete. The exposed concrete is warmed with doors and windows of natural mahogany and interior millwork and ceilings of natural eucalyptus.

由夹层玻璃梁和屋顶面板构成，带有玻璃门，入口空间被概念化为一个透明的外部连接之间的私人和公共翅膀的房子。外墙由12英寸厚的绝缘现浇混凝土建造，金属屋顶有助于在这个隐蔽的峡谷提供最大的耐火能力。室内地板是轻质混凝土。裸露的混凝土与天然红木门窗、室内磨坊和天然桉树天花板一起取暖。
