我们的客户对多年来两小时的工作通勤感到疲惫，委托我们在他们南加州制造公司的设施和办公室一英里范围内开发一个新的住宅。他们希望与目前的住宅保持类似的联系，因此选择了一个未开发的崎岖砂岩地形，被一条干涸的河流一分为二，并点缀着本地玉兰、橡树、沙棘和海狸尾巴仙人掌，作为新住宅的地点。
Weary from years of two-hour work commutes, our client engaged us to develop a new residence within a mile of their Southern California manufacturing company’s facility and offices. Interested in maintaining a similar connection to the land as their current residence, an undeveloped rugged sandstone terrain, bisected by a dry river, and dotted with native yucca, oak, sagebrush, and beavertail cactus, was selected as the site for the new home.
为了应对创造空间以观察、测量和参与周围半干旱景观的多样性这一挑战，阿罗约橡木屋是开放和透明的，沉浸在自然光中，并在视觉上与周围的佩罗纳山脉融为一体。为了优化与这一独特地形的联系，多个相互交错的特定项目的亭子在整个场地的方向上。这些亭子的位置和重叠导致了不同规模的花园、阳台和露台，鼓励景观元素从字面上和感知上渗透到住宅的内部。
In response to the challenge of creating spaces to view, measure, and engage with the diversity of the surrounding semi-arid landscape, the Arroyo Oak House is open and transparent, immersed in natural light, and visually integrated with the surrounding Sierra Pelona Mountains. Optimizing the connection to this unique topography, multiple interlocking program-specific pavilions are oriented across the site. The placement and overlap of these pavilions result in varying scales of gardens, terraces, and decks, encouraging landscape elements to literally and perceptually permeate the home’s interior.
走近一看，一个高高的、水平覆盖的锌制体量呈现在眼前，它既是透明的，将注意力集中在远处的山脊线上，又是半反射的，以捕捉云的印象。从高架下进入居住层，位于周边的主要开孔和亭子之间的次要裂缝拼贴出独特的山景和天景。分层的内部空间扩展到外部露台，使家庭环境与乡村景观相融合。
Upon approach, an elevated, horizontally-clad zinc volume is presented, both transparent to focus attention on the distant ridgelines and semi-reflective to capture the impression of the clouds. Entering below the elevated mass and into the living level, primary apertures located on the perimeter and secondary fissures between the pavilions collage distinct mountain and sky views. Split-level interior spaces expand into exterior terraces, collapsing the domestic environment upon the rural landscape.
下层包括家庭健身房、洗衣房、客人套房和泳池露台，延伸到山坡上，提供了一个无遮挡的全景视野。雪松和石灰石的连续材料强调了内部和外部之间的体验关系。这种与室外的联系在上层继续，这里有主卧室、家庭办公室、两间次要卧室、线性阳台和休闲甲板。
The lower level, containing a home gym, laundry room, guest suite, and pool terrace, extends into the hillside providing an unobstructed panoramic vista. The continuous materiality of cedar and limestone accentuates the experiential relationship between inside and out. This connection to the outdoors continues on the upper level, which contains the primary bedroom, home office, two secondary bedrooms, linear balcony, and lounge deck.
泳池露台和相邻的露天起居室延伸到草地上，并最终延伸到下面的河谷，为动物提供了一条自然的、预先存在的路径，并为探索该地提供了一个最小的步行圈。易受火灾影响的景观的敏感性质，以及独特的气候、太阳和季节条件，要求对住宅进行仔细定位，并考虑植物的规格和灌溉要求。
The pool terrace and adjacent open-air living room unfold onto the meadow and ultimately the arroyo below, augmenting a natural, preexisting path for animals with a minimally delineated walking loop with which to explore the site. The sensitive nature of the fire susceptible landscape, as well as the unique climate, solar, and seasonal conditions called for careful positioning of the home, as well as consideration of plant specifications and irrigation requirements.
