为了确定房屋的最佳位置和方向，我们花了很多心思。它选址在相对平坦的土地上，以避免平整土地，因为这将对环境造成不必要的破坏。设计有三个目标：捕捉自然风，将壮观的景色框起来，使每个房间都有一个稍微不同的景色，并使房子的方向尽量减少太阳辐射。因此，直接置于峡谷风的沐浴中，房子被风的流动冷却，通过多个滑动玻璃门进入每个房间。
Much consideration was put into determining the best location and orientation for the house. It was sited on relatively flat land to avoid grading, which would have caused undue damage to the environment. The design had three goals: capture natural breezes, frame the spectacular views so every room has one that is slightly different, and orient the house to minimize solar heat gain. Thus, placed directly in the bath of canyon breezes, the house is cooled by the flow of wind through multiple sliding-glass doors into every room.
我们的目标是在土地上轻装上阵，特别是考虑到该地处于一个接受特殊资源保护的区域。要求包括生物学家检查，以确保没有沙漠龟或猫头鹰会受到施工的影响。为了尽量减少对沙漠脆弱的生态系统的干扰，房子的结构设计采用了零废料系统；轻钢柱和梁是在现场外制造的，然后在施工过程中用螺栓连接起来，只需几天而不是几个月。这种房屋外露钢架的系统也受到了当地马场上简单的金属结构的启发。
The aim was to build lightly on the land, especially given that the site is in a zone that receives special Resource Conservation Protection. Requirements included a biologist inspection to ensure that no desert tortoises or owls would be affected by construction. In order to minimize disturbance to the desert’s delicate ecosystem, the house’s structure is designed with a zero-waste system; the light steel columns and beams were manufactured off-site, then bolted together during construction in a matter of days rather than months. This system for the house’s exposed steel framing was also inspired by simple metal structures on local horse ranches.
屋顶悬垂形成了一个与房子一样大的遮阳的环绕式平台，用于室内/室外生活，有户外烧烤、用餐和休息的区域。一条阶梯式的小路通向一个热温泉和一个冷牛仔浴缸，这是对旧西部将镀锌牲畜槽作为浴缸重新利用的传统的致敬。在室内，房子的特点是抛光的混凝土地板、干净的白墙和暴露的金属管道。大玻璃窗将沙漠的景色尽收眼底，并接纳了大量的日光。厨房是开放式大房间的一面墙，两侧各有一间卧室和浴室。
The roof overhangs form a shaded wrap-around deck as big as the house for indoor/outdoor living, with areas for outdoor grilling, dining, and lounging. A stepped path leads to a hot spa and a cold cowboy tub, a nod to the Old West tradition of re-purposing galvanized livestock troughs as bathtubs. Inside, the home features polished concrete floors, clean white walls, and exposed metal ducts. Large-paned windows frame desert views and admit an abundance of daylight. The kitchen lines one wall of the open-concept great room, which is bookended by a bedroom and bathroom on each side.
主要的生活空间没有墙壁和任何其他障碍物，以使风能够被动地通风。在海拔4800英尺的地方，沙漠的这一部分经历着极端的天气条件。因此，材料和细节的选择对建筑的性能至关重要。钢材作为框架，与木材不同，不会随着温度的变化而明显膨胀和收缩。再生木材的水分含量极少，其耐用性优于新木材，后者在极热和极冷的情况下会膨胀和收缩。为了增强木材的耐候性，还使用了透明的密封剂。
The main living space is kept free of walls and any other barriers to allow wind to passively ventilate the house. At an altitude of 4,800 feet, this part of the desert experiences extreme weather conditions. Therefore, the choices of materials and details were critical to the building’s performance. Steel for the frame, unlike wood, does not expand and contract significantly as the temperature changes. The moisture content of reclaimed lumber is minimal and its durability is superior to new lumber, which expands and contracts under extreme heat and cold. A clear sealant was applied to augment the wood’s weather resistance.
摆设与旧西部与现代的主题相得益彰。起居室里有一个骆驼皮沙发和长椅，以及质朴的木质咖啡和餐桌。户外家具是由木头制成的，配有黑色软垫。杰里米-莱文设计公司构思的 “千里马 “火桌，从当地的动物群中获得灵感，用剩余的家庭建筑材料制成。主浴室概括了可持续性、牛仔和现代主义的融合。它的盥洗台是回收的木材，参考了当地酒馆的凹陷木制酒吧和桌子。牛仔现代沙漠生态疗养院是一个年轻家庭和朋友的休息场所，他们可以在这里享受开阔的视野和无污染的夜空。
Furnishings play into the Old West-meets-modern theme. In the living area are a camel leather sofa and ottoman as well as rustic wood coffee and dining tables. Outdoor furniture is made of wood with black upholstered cushions. Jeremy Levine Design conceived of the “jackrabbit” fire table that takes inspiration from local fauna and is made from leftover home-construction materials. The primary bath encapsulates the melding of sustainability, cowboys, and modernism. Its vanity is reclaimed lumber, referencing local saloons’ distressed-wood bars and tables. The Cowboy Modern Desert Eco-Retreat is a place of respite for a young family and friends, where they can enjoy open views and an unpolluted night sky.
