金斯兰住宅是独一无二的，因为它是柳井隆和Patti Rhee的家庭住宅，他们都是EYRC的合伙人。柳井正出生在日本，在加利福尼亚长大。多年来，他住在日本，并担任GA Houses的编辑。他以其极简的美学而闻名，反映了加州和日本现代主义的信条。

Kingsland Residence is unique since it is the family residence of Takashi Yanai and Patti Rhee, both partners at EYRC. Yanai was born in Japan, and raised in California. For many years, he lived in Japan and served as the editor of GA Houses. He is known for his minimal aesthetic which reflects tenets of both Californian and Japanese modernism.

金斯兰住宅位于西区一个充满牧场房屋的社区，是一个适度预算的装修仍能产生巨大影响的例子。设计的总体概念是将外部引入。住宅的外部被涂成亚光黑色，以中和住宅的外部环境，最大限度地吸引人们对Terremoto设计的景观和花园的注意，以及最小的内部空间。

Located in a West Side neighborhood full of ranch houses, Kingsland Residence is an example of how a modest budget renovation can still have a high impact. The overall concept of the design was to bring the outside in. The exterior of the home was painted matte black to neutralize the exteriors of the home, drawing maximum attention to the landscape and gardens designed by Terremoto, as well as the minimal interiors.

一扇大的推拉门兜开，框住了后院，模糊了室内和室外的界限。将餐桌放置在这个框架旁边，为一天中最重要的时刻创造了一个舞台：与家人一起吃饭。外部空间有日本的细微差别，但完全是加利福尼亚式的，成为从内部和外部体验房子的焦点。该设计剥离了任何不必要的元素，如嵌入式照明。建筑使用简单、简陋的材料，包括海洋级胶合板。受唐纳德-贾德启发的厨房是房子的另一个焦点，掩盖了某些元素，如冰箱，而是突出了对家庭有感情的物品和艺术品。

A large sliding door pockets away to frame the backyard, blurring the line between indoors and outdoors. Placing the dining table adjacent to this frame creates a stage for the most important moments of the day: eating with family. The exterior spaces have Japanese nuances but are entirely Californian, becoming a focal point when experiencing the house from inside and out. The design stripped away any unnecessary elements like recessed lighting. The construction uses simple, humble materials including marine-grade plywood. The Donald Judd-inspired kitchen is another focal point of the house, masking certain elements like the fridge and instead accentuating objects and art that are sentimental to the family.

住宅内的艺术作品由客户的艺术作品组合而成，包括Johannes Girardoni的灯柱，EYRC与他一起设计了Spectral Bridge住宅。另外还有一些著名艺术家的作品，如杉本博司和森山大道的作品，这些作品是高希希的灵感来源，在整个住宅中都有。书籍是家庭生活的重要组成部分，因此，贯穿客厅的定制橱柜是生活空间的一个焦点。当然，柳井正和Rhee认为这是一个持续的 “进展中的工作”，因为当你是你自己的客户时，设计永远不会完成！

The art pieces inside the residence are a combination of art by clients, including a light-bar by Johannes Girardoni with whom EYRC designed the Spectral Bridge Residence. Additional pieces by notable artists like Hiroshi Sugimoto and Daido Moriyama, who serve as inspiration for Takashi especially, are featured throughout the home. Books are a huge part of the family’s life therefore the custom casework that runs the length of the living room is a focal point of the living space. Of course, Yanai and Rhee consider this to be a continuous “work in progress” as design is never done when you are your own client!
