LR2住宅由位于圣莫尼卡的Montalba建筑事务所设计，从山坡上俯瞰帕萨迪纳及其附近的山脉。这个4200平方英尺的新房子是由几个不同的生活体量和程序组成的。
Designed by Santa Monica-based firm, Montalba Architects, the LR2 House overlooks Pasadena and its adjacent mountains from its hillside perch. This new 4,200-square-foot house is made up of several distinct living volumes and programs.
为了响应客户的愿望，保留相邻山坡之间的大部分现有平地，房子遵循火柴盒的概念，用堆叠的体量创造出一系列旋转的矩形体量，与山坡相邻，每一个都有自己的室内/室外空间。
In response to the client’s desire to retain a significant portion of the existing flat pad between adjacent slopes, the house follows the matchbox concept with stacked volumes creating a rotated series of rectangular masses abutting the hillside, each with its own take on indoor/outdoor space.
室外通廊、门廊、庭院、有顶的人行道和巨大的屋顶平台将有限的楼层面积延伸到自然皲裂区和远处的景色。房子包括客人套房、家庭办公室、健身房和剧院放映室，以及丰富的户外空间，所有这些都可以看到周围的山丘和山谷。
Outdoor breezeways, porches, courtyards, covered walkways and an immense rooftop deck extend the reaches of the limited floor area to the natural chaparral and views beyond. The house includes guest suites, a home office, gym, and theatre screening room, as well as abundant outdoor spaces, all taking in views of the surrounding hills and valley.
该结构的方案元素从主要的建筑块群中剥离出来，并顺着山坡的粗糙坡度转移。预期的入口顺序与景观一起流动，引导游客沿着延伸到建筑体下的人行道。由此产生的空间的压缩提供了一个独特的到达体验，结合了前门外的自然小溪，它依偎在二楼。
The structure’s programmatic elements peel away from the primary group of building blocks and shift to follow the rough slope of the hillside terrain. The intended entry sequence flows with the landscape, guiding visitors along a reaching sidewalk that extends under the mass of the building. The compression of the resulting space offers a unique arrival experience incorporating the natural creek just beyond front door, which is nestled on the second floor.
沿着自然坡度，前台楼梯创造了一条拱形的路径，通往一个桥形的入口，同时展示了房子的全景。当前门打开时，深色的、有棱有角的混凝土面板立面让位于由柔软的木材和明亮的白色饰面组成的充满光线的室内。
Following the natural grade, the front stairs create an arching path to a bridged entry portal, all the while showcasing panoramic views of the house. As the front door opens, the dark, angular façade of paneled concrete gives way to a light-filled interior of soft wood and bright white finishes.
一进门，参观者就发现自己在一个室内/室外的生活空间里—外部景观的有框视野使参观者沐浴在自然光中，使他们沉浸在外面的自然世界中。一旦进入住宅，楼梯下降到一个私人放映室，或上升到三楼的生活空间。一系列开放的露台与室内生活区相映成趣，涵盖了几乎与三楼的封闭空间一样多的户外空间。
Upon entering, visitors find themselves within an indoor/outdoor living space – framed views of the exterior landscape bathe visitors in natural light and immerse them in the natural world outside. Once inside the residence, stairs descend to a private screening room or ascend to the third floor living spaces. A series of open terraces mirror the interior living quarters, encompassing almost as much outdoor space as the enclosed third-floor footprint.
