王氏别墅位于海洋公园附近，距离繁忙的林肯大道一个街区，但距离平静的太平洋半英里。它坐落在一个特别长的角落地段：80英尺长，只有25英尺宽。
The Wang cottage is located in the Ocean Park neighborhood, one block from busy Lincoln Blvd but half a mile from the calm of the Pacific Ocean. It lays on an exceptionally elongated corner lot: 80 feet long and only 25 feet wide.
该项目承认附近地区不断发展的特点及其矛盾：城市的繁华与海岸的平静，传统的平房和别墅与新的超大开发项目的矛盾；它打算协调这些力量，以设定一个适合其复杂环境的基调和规模。房子有一个现代简洁的体量，直线简单的线条，但同时，拱形屋顶和雪松护墙板软化了这种体量，带来了让人想起别墅感觉的物质性，重新找回了附近的海滩特征。室内和室外的关系是通过在战略区域刻画房子的体量来完成的，在底层创造了一个侧天井，在上层创造了两个屋顶平台。
The project acknowledges the evolving character of the neighborhood and its contradictions: the urban bustle versus the coastal calm, traditional bungalows, and cottages against new oversized developments; it intends to harmonize these forces to set a tone and scale that fits its complex surroundings. The house has a contemporary clean volume with straight simple lines, but at the same time, the gable roof and cedar siding soften this volume, bringing materiality reminiscent of the cottage feel to reclaim the beachy character of the neighborhood. The relationship between the interior and the exterior is done by carving the house’s volume in strategic areas, creating a side patio on the ground floor and two roof decks on the upper floor.
在底层，房子没有将可建面积最大化，而是将房子的位置从要求的后退处多出了3.5英尺，沿房屋的街道一侧创造了一个线性的半覆盖式天井。这种设计方法使生活空间实际上大了很多，通过创造一个户外延伸的起居/用餐区，由大型玻璃滑梯隔开，可以堆叠在房屋楼梯前。客厅/餐厅是一个双高空间，北侧与入户和厨房相连，南侧与楼梯相连。厨房和电器与木质橱柜融为一体，成为生活空间的无缝衔接和优雅延续。
On the ground floor instead of maximizing the buildable area the house is positioned an additional 3.5 feet from the required setback to create a linear semi-covered patio along the home’s street side. This design approach makes the living space actually much larger by creating an outdoor extension of the living/dining area separated by large glass sliders that can stack in front of the house stairs. The living/dining area is a double-height space connected to the entry and kitchen on the Northside and to the stairs on the Southside. The kitchen and appliances are integrated into the wood cabinets and become a seamless and elegant continuation of the living space.
在二楼，房子悬空于侧边的庭院，形成一个开放式的走廊，俯瞰起居/用餐区，并将主卧与客卧和浴室连接起来。一个内置的书柜与窗边的座椅提供了储物空间，并提供了一个与相邻街道的树冠同高的座位。在楼上，一个带有倾斜天花板的阁楼层连接着两个屋顶平台。
On the second floor, the house cantilevers over the side patio creating an open gallery that overlooks the living/dining area and connects the master suite to the guest bedroom and bathroom. A built in bookcase with window seats provide storage and a place to seat at the same height as the canopy of the adjacent street’s trees. Upstairs, a loft level with a sloped ceiling connects both roof decks.
当阁楼的天窗打开时，空气从侧院天井流过双高空间，作为被动冷却策略，为整个房子通风。
When the loft’s skylights are open the air flows from the side yard patio through the double-height space ventilating the whole house as a passive cooling strategy.
对于室内，选择了白色和不同色调的木头的柔和调色板。直线简单的纯粹线条让人们把注意力集中在木材的材料性、房屋的空间特质和一天中不断变化的光线上。木质的橱柜、门和饰件都是枫木，染色后与法国橡木地板饰面相匹配。五金制品被控制在最低限度，大部分被内置的手指拉手所取代。
For the interiors, a muted palette of white and different shades of wood was selected. Straight simple pure lines allow keeping the focus on the wood’s materiality, the house’s spatial qualities, and the evolving light which shifts throughout the day. The wood cabinets, doors, and trims are maples, stained to match the french oak floor finish. Hardware is kept to the minimum and mostly replaced by built-in finger pulls.
房子的外部用雪松护墙板包覆；木板之前经过天然染色处理，加速了老化过程，呈现出银色的铜锈和陈旧的风化外观，再加上结实的木板，让我们想起典型的海滩别墅外观。门窗饰面采用阳极氧化铝，与立缝屋顶相匹配，并与护墙板的银色调相呼应。
The exterior of the house is cladded in cedar siding; the planks were previously treated with a natural stain that accelerates the aging process, providing a silvery patina and aged weathered look that, together with the knotty planks makes us recall the typical beach cottage look. The windows and doors finish is anodized aluminum which matches the standing seam roof and resonates with the silvery tones of the siding.
