“Sol “是位于亚利桑那州凤凰城中区Willo历史区的一个填充式住宅，该地区以其博物馆和不断增长的商业集合而闻名。当地建筑公司The Ranch Mine从西南城市的庭院式住宅中得到启发，设计了一个既能拥抱阳光又能逃离城市的现代住宅。
“Sol” is an infill house in the Willo Historic District in midtown Phoenix, Arizona, an area known for its museums and growing collection of businesses. Inspired by the southwestern urban vernacular of the courtyard house, local architecture firm The Ranch Mine designed a modern home that both embraces and escapes the sun and the city.
“索尔 “位于凤凰城发展的核心地带，距离快速城市化核心区的轻轨站仅300码，但周围是20世纪初的历史区。这座由Boxwell Southwest建造的2300平方英尺的新房，不仅要获得历史保护办公室的批准，而且要在一个不断发展的大都市的现实中航行。虽然城市化和历史保护通常会有冲突，但The Ranch Mine团队选择了回顾过去，以便为更多的城市未来进行设计。
“Sol” sits at the crux of development in Phoenix, just 300 yards from a light rail station in a rapidly urbanizing core, yet surrounded by an early 1900s historic district. This 2300 square foot, new build home built by Boxwell Southwest not only had to gain approval from the Historic Preservation Office, but it had to navigate the reality of a growing metropolis. Although urbanization and historic preservation may typically be at odds, The Ranch Mine team chose to look to the past in order to design for the more urban future.
四合院的风格在17世纪末首次引入该地区，是沙漠气候中城市生活的理想选择。它提供了一个逃离城市喧嚣的机会，同时也创造了一个有阴影、自然冷却的室外房间。”Sol “是一个U形的庭院住宅，有一个向开放的第四面伸出的悬臂式屋顶。悬臂式屋顶创造了一个宽敞的、有盖的户外生活区，可以遮挡阳光，而开放的一面允许微风流过水池，在文丘里效应的帮助下，蒸发的空气在交叉通风的主要生活空间中冷却。在几步之遥的地方，定制的弧形混凝土长椅和火盆提供了一个取暖的地方，无论是白天在阳光下休息还是晚上在火堆旁休息。
The style of the courtyard house was first introduced to the region in the late 17th century and is ideal for urban living in a desert climate. It provides an escape from the bustle of the city while also creating a shaded, naturally cooled outdoor room. “Sol” is a U-shaped courtyard house with a cantilevered roof projecting towards the open, fourth side. The cantilevered roof creates a generous, covered outdoor living area, sheltered from the sun, while the open side allows breezes to flow across the pool where evaporation cools the air before it cross ventilates the main living space with help from the Venturi Effect. Steps away, the added touches of a custom curved concrete bench and firepit provide a place to warm up, whether by lounging in the sun during the day or by the fire at night.
这座房子主要在三个区域拥抱城市，这三个区域是在一个有效设计的盒子里刻出来的。首先，前门廊是凹陷的，墙面朝向街道，仿佛在张开双臂欢迎邻居。一旦进入室内，开放的生活空间中的横梁就会穿过玻璃，向发展中的市中心天际线倾斜。最后，为了在享受凉爽的夜空的同时更好地欣赏天际线，一个集成的外部楼梯通向一个隐藏的屋顶平台，这是对西南地区原生的睡廊的一种赞美。
The house embraces the city primarily in 3 areas that are carved out of an otherwise efficiently designed box. First, the front porch is recessed with walls that flare out towards the street, as if to open its arms and welcome the neighborhood. Once inside, the beams in the open living space extend through the glass and angle up towards the developing midtown skyline. Finally, to get a better view of the skyline while soaking up the cool night sky, an integrated exterior stair leads up to a hidden roof deck, a nod to sleeping porches that are native to the southwest.
庭院式住宅起源于创造一个绿洲的尝试，无论是在沙漠气候下的阳光和热量，还是在人口密集地区的公众。随着沙漠西南部城市的不断填充，我们希望看到当地乡土形式的四合院重新得到重视，并充分发掘其现代诠释的潜力。 住宅应该是一个避难所：一个不仅可以悬挂帽子的地方，而且，如果你愿意，还可以使心脏和 “Sol “恢复活力。
The courtyard house originated as an attempt to create an oasis, whether from the sun and heat in desert climates, or the public in populated areas. As the cities of the desert southwest continue to infill, we hope to see the local vernacular form of the courtyard house return to prominence and the potential of their modern interpretations fully explored. Homes should be a refuge: a place to not only hang one’s hat but, if you will, rejuvenate the heart and “Sol”.
