The Ranch Mine是一家由夫妻领导的建筑公司，总部位于亚利桑那州凤凰城，专门为具有先锋精神、梦想家和探索者设计住宅，他们认为家不仅仅是一个房子。

The Ranch Mine is a multiple national award-winning husband - wife led architecture firm based in Phoenix, Arizona that specializes in designing homes for people with the pioneer spirit, the dreamers and seekers who see home as more than just a house.

“我们坚信团结，坚信与朋友和家人共进晚餐。我们希望有充足的光线、开放的空间，以及与户外的联系。”

“We believe strongly in togetherness and the breaking of bread with our friends and family. We wish for lots of light, open space, and connection with the outdoors.”

建筑公司The Ranch Mine在开始一个项目之前会问每个客户一个问题，这个问题导致了一个意想不到的路径，即重新想象经典的美国牧场住宅，一个曾经流行的房子风格，但在20世纪末褪色，在亚利桑那州天堂谷的一个名为“蜂巢”的新建筑的现代生活。

This response to a question that architecture firm The Ranch Mine asks every client before starting a project led down the unexpected path of reimagining the classic American Ranch house, a once popular style of house that faded in the late 20th century, for modern living in a new build called ‘Hive’ in Paradise Valley, Arizona.

The Ranch Mine精通建筑历史，很快就意识到他们客户的目标与牧场住宅(或漫步者)的属性几乎完美地结合在一起。牧场住宅于20世纪30年代首次亮相，在20世纪中期达到高峰，最终是关于阳光和非正式的室内/室外生活。

Well-versed in architectural history, The Ranch Mine quickly realized that the goals of their clients aligned almost perfectly with the attributes of ranch houses, or ramblers, which debuted in the 1930s, reaching peak popularity in the midcentury, and were ultimately about sunshine and informal indoor/outdoor living.

在视觉上，它们的特点通常是低矮的线性轮廓、不对称的庭院规划、分隔的起居和睡眠区域、拱形的主要起居区域、混合的外部材料和通往户外天井的大玻璃门。

Visually they were often characterized by their low, linear profile, asymmetrical courtyard plans, separated living and sleeping areas, vaulted main living areas, mixed exterior materials and large glass doors to outdoor patios.

业主购买了这个形状非常规的旗帜地块，因为它的大尺寸和隐私，尽管它靠近城市设施。近300英尺长的狭长地带是进入这处房产的唯一通道，这片6边地块的两侧都被住宅包围。Ranch Mine利用这种独特的形状和私密性创建了一个延伸到景观中的住宅，延伸到引导朋友和家人进入庭院风格的规划。

The homeowners purchased the unconventionally shaped flag lot because of its large size and privacy despite its proximity to urban amenities. An almost 300 foot long, narrow strip of land provides the only access to the property, surrounded by homes on each side of the 6 sided lot. The Ranch Mine used this unique shape and privacy to create a home that extends out into the landscape, stretching out to guide friends and family into the embrace of the courtyard style plan.

传统的牧场住宅有低矮的屋顶，而“蜂巢”的特点是一个山墙体，象征着入口和主要生活区域，两侧是平屋顶，以保持低的线性轮廓，并满足该地区严格的分区高度限制。

While traditional ranch homes had low pitches roofs, ‘Hive’ features a gabled volume to signify the entrance and main living area, flanked by flat roofs to maintain the low, linear profile and meet the strict zoning height restriction of the area.

走进带山墙的起居区域，欢迎朋友和家人通过灌注混凝土壁炉，通过袖袋玻璃门到有顶棚的露台、游泳池、热水浴缸和远处的下沉式火坑，欣赏房子的景色。生活区的一边是家庭办公室，另一边是厨房，两者都是交叉通风的，有充足的自然光线。

Stepping into the gabled living area, friends and family are welcomed to views through the house past the poured in place concrete fireplace through pocketing glass doors to a covered patio, pool, hot tub, and sunken fire pit beyond. On one side of the living area is a home office and on the other side is the kitchen, both which are cross ventilated with ample natural daylight.

卧室与住宅的生活区分开，设有书房、家庭作业区和带狗洗浴设施的mudroom。the ranch Mine采用了传统的牧场风格，将卧室分隔得更远一些，用车库将主屋和附属客房分开，客房可以通过车库进入，也可以直接从外部进入。在冬天，客人的父母和一年四季的客人都可以使用这个客房。

The bedroom wing is separated from the living areas of the house and features a den, a homework area, and mudroom with a dog wash. Taking the traditional ranch move of separating the bedrooms a bit further, The Ranch Mine used the garage to separate the main house from the attached guest house, which can be access through the garage or directly from the exterior. The guest house is used by the clients’ parents seeking sun during the winter and by guests year round.
