从这个项目的现场可以看到三个当地著名的土地形态。”鹰岩”、山脊和下面的葡萄园谷地。主要的挑战是如何将这三个独立的景观框起来,同时保留现场的每一棵橡树。三根手指正好在现有的树木之间延伸,每根手指都朝向一个地层。

Three locally known land formations can be seen from the site of this project: “Eagle Rock”, a mountain ridge, and the valley of vineyards below. The main challenge was to frame these three separate views while at the same time, preserving each existing oak tree on site. The three fingers extend precisely in between the existing trees, each oriented toward a land formation.

房子建在钢制高跷上,以避免切断树根。 

为了降低成本并满足客户的可持续发展目标,该建筑的设计使用了标准尺寸的现成板材(未完成的胶合板和OSB),以减少浪费。该建筑以极小的预算(按加州标准)完成,每平方英尺不到190美元。

The house was constructed on steel stilts to avoid severing tree roots. 

To cut cost as well as meet sustainability goals of the clients, the building was designed using standard sized, off the shelf sheet-goods (unfinished plywood and OSB) to minimize waste. The building was accomplished with a tiny budget (by California standards) at under $190 per square foot.
