Lookout House是一个位于加利福尼亚州特鲁奇的极简主义住宅,由福克纳建筑师设计。建筑工地对这所房子的设计有很大的影响。在一座有三百万年历史的火山的底部,有着强烈的地质历史,这个地点是一个朝北的20度斜坡,在平均海平面以上6300英尺处有相等的避难所和远景。该遗址由来自古代水流的火山沉积物组成,散落着直径达15英尺的巨石,位于第二生长的杰弗里松树和白杉树的开阔地上。

Lookout House is a minimal residence located in Truckee, California, designed by Faulkner Architects. The building site had a significant influence on the design for this house. Layered with intense geologic history at the base of a three-million-year-old volcano, the site is a north-facing 20-degree slope with equal parts refuge and prospect at 6,300 feet above mean sea level. Consisting of volcanic sediment from ancient flows and strewn with boulders up to 15 feet in diameter, the site is in an open stand of second-growth Jeffrey Pine and White Fir trees.
