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.

房子被命名为“White Dates”，这是对White Gates的一种戏剧，灵感来自于在现场发现的枣椰树，其中一棵树被用来标记住宅的入口。

The house is named “White Dates,” a play on White Gates inspired by the Date palm trees found on the site, including one that is used to mark the entry of the home.

2018年秋天，当建筑公司the Ranch Mine开车来到他们的新项目现场时，他们发现了凤凰城街对面最具代表性的中世纪住宅，这是一座由Al Beadle设计的房子，俗称“白门”，已经空置了几十年。

When the architecture firm The Ranch Mine drove up to their new project site in the fall of 2018 they spotted perhaps the most iconic midcentury home in Phoenix across the street, a house designed by Al Beadle commonly known as White Gates which has sat vacant for decades.

了解了这座住宅的历史，建筑师立即意识到他们面临着一项具有挑战性的任务，即创造一个新的邻居，既要尊重中世纪现代标志的遗产，又要为这个独特的社区的故事增添新的篇章。

Knowing the history of this home, the architects knew immediately that they had the challenging task of creating a new neighbor that should honor the legacy of the midcentury modern icon while adding a distinctly new chapter to the story of this unique neighborhood.

房子的布局是通过优先考虑Camelback山的景色来驱动的，将大房间和主要套房放置在充分利用它的位置。

The layout of the house was driven by prioritizing the view of Camelback Mountain, placing the great room and primary suite in positions to make the most of it.

大房间的特点是房间两侧从地板到天花板的口袋玻璃门，捕捉从山上吹来的凉风，并向前后露台开放，实现无缝的室内外生活。

The great room features floor to ceiling pocketing glass doors on both sides of the room, capturing the cool breezes that come up the mountain and opening out onto front and rear patios for seamless indoor outdoor living.

为了纪念这座世纪中叶的标志性建筑，the Ranch Mine以新鲜、现代的方式在设计中融入了世纪中叶的现代设计元素。前天井可能是最清晰的中世纪连接，使用挡风砖遮挡道路，并将视线集中到远处的山脉。

To honor the iconic midcentury neighbor, The Ranch Mine incorporated midcentury modern design elements in the design in fresh, contemporary ways. The front patio is perhaps the most clear midcentury connection, using breezeblock to screen the road and focus the view towards the mountain beyond.

建筑师使用了当地一家公司的风砖，其规模比大多数本世纪中叶的建筑都要宏大。外部露台和人行道是石板的，房子的入口是一棵独特的椰枣树，它通过三角形的孔向天空生长，参考了Albert Frey进入棕榈泉市政厅的入口。

The architects used breezeblock from a local company in a more grandiose scale than most midcentury applications. The exterior patios and walkways are flagstone and the entry of the house is highlighted by a singular date palm tree growing through a triangular aperture to the sky, referencing Albert Frey’s entry to Palm Springs City Hall.
