这座新房子是在旧金山现有的25英尺宽的土地上填充的,包括两个不同的体量,由一个内部庭院分隔。前面的结构在街道上有一个车库,上面有一个画室;后面的体量是主屋,卧室在下层,生活空间在中间,主卧室在顶层。这个项目的设计使用了两个分段移动:水平和垂直。水平移动创造了两个庭院–在房子的中间和后面–而垂直移动将低层的卧室挖到了车库和街道上。这两个动作的结合,使房子与场地和周围的城市结构相联系,从而使内部和外部空间交织在一起,形成了一种明暗的游戏。

This new house, infilled on an existing 25-foot wide lot in San Francisco, includes two distinct volumes separated by an interior courtyard. The front structure has a garage at street grade and a painting studio above; the back volume is the main house, with the bedrooms on the lower level, living spaces in the middle, and a master bedroom on the top floor. The design of this project uses two sectional moves: horizontal and vertical. The horizontal move creates two courtyards — in the middle and at the back of the house — while the vertical move digs the lower bedrooms down to the garage and street level. The combination of these two moves serves to interlock the house to the site and the surrounding urban fabric, thus interweaving the inside and outside spaces with a play of light and dark.

房子的主楼层–一个带有厨房、餐厅和生活空间的开放式平面图–被一个两层楼的楼梯空间所点缀,并与后院在同一高度。三楼的建筑后退,使房子可以看到海湾和金门大桥的壮观景色。房子有七个室外空间,都有独特的品质和景观:工作室的前甲板,工作室顶部的甲板,低层庭院,庭院外的入口层甲板,后院,玻璃和木头走道,以及后院。这些露台和空间围绕着房子的生活区域展开,从而释放了结构和场地的视觉复杂性。

The main floor of the house – an open floor plan with kitchen, dining and living spaces — is punctuated by a two-story space for the stair, and is on grade with the rear yard. A setback of the building on the third floor opens the house to spectacular views of the bay and the Golden Gate Bridge. The house has seven outdoor spaces, all with distinctive qualities and views: the front deck at the studio, the deck on top of the studio, the lower level courtyard, the entry level deck off the courtyard, the back courtyard, the glass and wood walkway, and the backyard. These decks and spaces unfurl around the living areas of the house, thereby unlocking the visual complexity of the structure and its site.

这座房子大胆地在旧金山引入了一种新的建筑类型,一个由庭院和光线组成的家,为城市的住宅建筑世界带来了新的活力。

This house boldly introduces a new building typology to San Francisco a home of courtyards and light that brings new life to the world of the city’s residential architecture.
