一个四口之家对他们位于洛杉矶地区的海滨城市的避暑别墅感到兴奋，但对其喧闹的90年代的建筑不满意，他们向Blue Truck Studio提出了一个指示–淡化它。他们的情况是：房子有狂野的几何形状，如八角形的房间和三角形的空间。他们想要的是：一个简单形式和质朴纹理的房子，就像北加州海牧场社区的房子。
Thrilled with the beach town location of their summer house in the Los Angeles area, but not with its loud ’90s-era architecture, a family of four approached Blue Truck Studio with a directive — tone it down. What they had: a house with wild geometry, such as octagon-shaped rooms and triangular spaces. What they wanted: a home of simple forms and rustic textures, like the ones in the Northern California community of Sea Ranch.
在外部，Blue Truck Studio重新配置了窗户，并增加了护墙板，将其包裹在房子周围，以简化其形式并提供隐私。定制的铣削护墙板是阿拉斯加黄杉，是专门为它如何随着时间的推移而风化而选择的，灰白的颜色创造了一种质朴的铜锈，让人想起海洋牧场的审美。蓝色卡车工作室创造了一个全新的内部空间，平静、开放的空间，很容易地流向彼此。
On the exterior, Blue Truck Studio reconfigured windows and added siding, wrapping it around the house to simplify its form and provide privacy. The custom milled siding is Alaskan yellow cedar and was chosen specifically for how it will weather over time, graying out to create a rustic patina reminiscent of the Sea Ranch aesthetic. Blue Truck Studio created an all-new interior of calm, open spaces that flow easily into one another.
他们拆除了位于客厅一侧的壁炉结构，该结构阻碍了室内活动。从地板到天花板的窗户通向家里的两个天井，创造了一个从室内到室外的无缝过渡。一扇转轴门和两扇大滑门将充足的光线引入室内。为了呼应住宅的外观，涂成白色的雪松壁板环绕着住宅的楼梯间。
They removed a fireplace structure at the side of the living room that was blocking indoor movement. Floor-to-ceiling windows open to the home’s two patios, creating a seamless transition from indoors to outdoors. A pivot door and two large slider doors invite ample light inside. In an echo of the exterior of the home, cedar siding, painted white, wraps around the home’s stairwell.
位于加州曼哈顿海滩的3770平方英尺的房子的翻新工作花了14个月。这个家庭在洛杉矶地区扎根，希望创造一个既有利于接待朋友和家人，又有利于放松和安静的家。这个有四间卧室的住宅两者都有，既有用于娱乐的大型聚会区，也有为保护隐私而隐藏起来的居住区。还有许多空间和细节都是为了娱乐。一个改装的车库里有一个游戏区和艺术工作室。同时，一个车道变成了足球场，还有一个板条式的户外淋浴，可以在去海滩后冲洗，这反映了这个家庭对户外活动的热爱。
Renovation of the 3,770-square-foot house in Manhattan Beach, California took 14 months. The family, which has roots in the Los Angeles area, wanted to create a home that would be as conducive to hosting friends and family as it was relaxation and quiet. The four-bedroom home has both, with large gathering areas for entertaining, but also living quarters tucked away for privacy. There are also many spaces and details geared towards recreation. A converted garage houses a play area and art studio. Meanwhile, a driveway turned soccer pitch and a slatted outdoor shower for hosing off after a trip to the beach reflects the family’s love of the outdoors.
