“我们坚信与我们的朋友和家人的团聚和分担面包。我们希望有大量的光线、开放的空间，以及与户外的联系”。对建筑公司The Ranch Mine在开始一个项目之前问每个客户的这个问题的回答，导致了在亚利桑那州天堂谷的一个名为 “Hive “的新建筑中重新想象经典的美国牧场房屋，这是一种曾经流行的房屋风格，但在20世纪末逐渐消失，适合现代生活。
“We believe strongly in togetherness and the breaking of bread with our friends and family. We wish for lots of light, open space, and connection with the outdoors.” This response to a question that architecture firm The Ranch Mine asks every client before starting a project led down the unexpected path of reimagining the classic American Ranch house, a once popular style of house that faded in the late 20th century, for modern living in a new build called ‘Hive’ in Paradise Valley, Arizona.
熟悉建筑历史的The Ranch Mine很快意识到，他们的客户的目标与牧场房屋的属性几乎完全一致，这些房屋在20世纪30年代首次出现，在本世纪中叶达到流行的顶峰，最终是关于阳光和非正式的室内/室外生活。从视觉上看，它们的特点是低矮的线性轮廓，不对称的庭院规划，分离的生活和睡眠区，拱形的主要生活区，混合的外部材料，以及通往户外庭院的大玻璃门。
Well-versed in architectural history, The Ranch Mine quickly realized that the goals of their clients aligned almost perfectly with the attributes of ranch houses, or ramblers, which debuted in the 1930s, reaching peak popularity in the midcentury, and were ultimately about sunshine and informal indoor/outdoor living. Visually they were often characterized by their low, linear profile, asymmetrical courtyard plans, separated living and sleeping areas, vaulted main living areas, mixed exterior materials, and large glass doors to outdoor patios.
房主购买了这块非传统形状的旗形地块，因为它虽然靠近城市设施，但面积大，私密性好。一条近300英尺长的狭长地带提供了进入该地产的唯一通道，在6个面的地块的每一侧都被住宅包围。
The homeowners purchased the unconventionally shaped flag lot because of its large size and privacy despite its proximity to urban amenities. An almost 300 foot long, narrow strip of land provides the only access to the property, surrounded by homes on each side of the 6 sided lot.
Ranch Mine利用这种独特的形状和私密性创造了一个延伸到景观中的住宅，伸展开来，引导朋友和家人进入庭院式规划的怀抱。传统的牧场住宅有低矮的屋顶，而 “蜂巢 “的特点是用坡屋顶的体量来表示入口和主要生活区，两侧是平屋顶，以保持低矮的线性轮廓，满足该地区严格的分区高度限制。
The Ranch Mine used this unique shape and privacy to create a home that extends out into the landscape, stretching out to guide friends and family into the embrace of the courtyard-style plan. While traditional ranch homes had low pitches roofs, ‘Hive’ features a gabled volume to signify the entrance and main living area, flanked by flat roofs to maintain the low, linear profile and meet the strict zoning height restriction of the area.
踏入屋檐下的生活区，朋友和家人可以看到房子里的景色，穿过浇筑好的混凝土壁炉，通过袋装玻璃门，可以看到有顶的天井、游泳池、热水浴缸和下沉的火坑。起居区的一侧是家庭办公室，另一侧是厨房，这两个地方都是交叉通风的，有充足的自然光。
Stepping into the gabled living area, friends and family are welcomed to views through the house past the poured in place concrete fireplace through pocketing glass doors to a covered patio, pool, hot tub, and sunken fire pit beyond. On one side of the living area is a home office and on the other side is the kitchen, both of which are cross-ventilated with ample natural daylight.
卧室侧翼与房子的生活区分开，设有一个书房、一个家庭作业区和一个带洗狗装置的杂物间。The Ranch Mine将传统牧场的卧室分开的做法更进一步，利用车库将主屋和附属的客房分开，可以通过车库或直接从外部进入。客户的父母在冬季会使用这间客房寻求阳光，而客人则全年使用。
The bedroom wing is separated from the living areas of the house and features a den, a homework area, and a mudroom with a dog wash. Taking the traditional ranch move of separating the bedrooms a bit further, The Ranch Mine used the garage to separate the main house from the attached guest house, which can be accessed through the garage or directly from the exterior. The guest house is used by the clients’ parents seeking sun during the winter and by guests year-round.
