Los Altos Residence is a 5,360 SF modern house designed by Bohlin Cywinski Jackson. Located in an established Los Altos neighborhood, this single-family residence is a modernist reinterpretation of the Northern California ranch style home the clients desired. Nestled amongst neighboring houses and a variety of mature trees, the residence’s plan and form is designed to create a private world as respite from the dense suburban community.

洛斯阿尔托斯住宅是一座5，360 SF的现代住宅，由Bohlin Cywinski Jackson设计。坐落在一个著名的洛斯阿尔托斯社区，这个单一的家庭住宅是一个现代化的重新解释北加利福尼亚农场风格的家，客户想要的。它坐落在邻近的房屋和各种成熟的树木之间，它的规划和形式被设计成一个私人世界，作为对密集的郊区社区的休息。

Designed around an existing Japanese maple tree—a vestige of the previous landscape and the relationship shared between residence and site—the house takes full advantage of the Silicon Valley’s mild climate. While windows and doors fill interiors with air and light, they also frame views of the diverse flora surrounding the home. In the living room, a wall of sliding glass doors blurs the line between indoors and out, opening to the back patio overlooking a meadow of tall grasses. In the master bedroom, one can hear the trickling of water and quiet rustling of trees coming from the meditation garden just outside. It is these moments, when the outdoors extend inside, that help anchor the building to site.

这栋房子围绕着一棵现存的日本枫树设计-这是以前风景的遗迹，以及住宅和场地之间的关系-这座房子充分利用了硅谷温和的气候。当窗户和门充满了空气和光，他们也框架的看法，多样化的植物围绕在家里。在客厅里，一堵滑动玻璃门的墙模糊了室内和室外之间的界线，从后面的露台打开，俯瞰着一片高草的草地。在主卧室里，你可以听到水的滴答声和静悄悄的树木沙沙声从外面的冥想花园里传来。正是这些时刻，当户外延伸到里面，帮助锚定建筑物到现场。

The main house is composed of a central double-height living and communal space that runs parallel to the street, shielding the home from the quiet thoroughfare. This common area, which includes a modest kitchen and place for family gathering, connects two single-story volumes, each containing a variety of private and functional spaces. With views from every room, one’s eye is easily drawn outside, where a linear pool and board-formed concrete garden wall, located along the eastern edge of the property, visually connects the main building to the guesthouse beyond.

主房子是由一个中央双高的居住和公共空间组成的，它与街道平行，保护家远离安静的大道。这个公共区域，包括一个朴素的厨房和家庭聚会场所，连接着两本单层的书，每一本都包含各种私人空间和功能空间。从每个房间都可以看到，人们的视线很容易被吸引到外面，在那里，沿着房产的东边有一条直线的水池和一块木板砌成的混凝土花园墙，从视觉上把主楼和外面的宾馆连接起来。

The home is detailed with a natural, crisp palette, reflecting the client’s fondness for simplicity and tranquility. A variety of woods, including Douglas fir, western red cedar, and gray elm, are used throughout and provide a sense of warmth directly contrasted by exposed structural steel, polished concrete floors, and a textured concrete fireplace. A locally sourced Claro walnut table, measuring 10-feet in length, creates a comfortable dining space, its live edge balancing the clean lines of the living room. Additional furnishings reinforce the client’s desire for a minimalist environment.

家庭是详细的自然，清脆的调色板，反映了客户的爱好简单和宁静。各种木材，包括道格拉斯杉木，西部红雪松，和灰色榆树，在整个过程中，提供了一种温暖的感觉，直接对比暴露结构钢，抛光混凝土地板，和一个纹理混凝土壁炉。当地采购的克拉洛核桃桌，长度为10英尺，创造了一个舒适的用餐空间，它的生活边缘平衡干净的线条客厅。额外的陈设强化了客户对极简主义环境的渴望。

The simple layout and detailing of this single-story residence, with its numerous connections to the surrounding landscape, create a home that is both calm and restful for the family to enjoy for many years to come.

简单的布局和详细的单层住宅，它与周围的景观众多的联系，创造了一个既平静和宁静的家庭享受了许多年。
