这是由Bestor Architecture设计的托罗峡谷别墅。户主想在洛杉矶市外建造一所度假别墅,这座别墅应该是现代风格的,并与自然有更紧密的关系。在南加州寻找了两年,他们终于在Montecito附近找到合适的选址。项目位于山顶,临近国家公园。场地的位置条件形成缓慢发现别墅的进入过程。一条道路将访客引入到别墅低处的某点,然后通过楼梯进入入口序列空间。前门形成圣巴巴拉海岸线的框景。 一个40(米?英尺?)宽的横向开窗营造了亭子般的气氛。别墅主要围绕三个庭院组织空间:别墅核心的小庭院同时兼作前门入口空间和户外生活区。庭院有着双重目的:自然采光、通风、免受来自山的强风吹袭。粗糙而厚重的混凝土墙,混合了不同的颜色,与场地的暗红色和棕色调相互协调,坚固耐用的外墙上设有大开窗和阿拉斯加雪松木壁板。室内使用了暖色的木材,在这个粗犷的环境中营造了温馨而放松的休憩空间。 译者: 艾比 The owners wanted to build a getaway house outside of Los Angeles where they could entertain and find a balance between the modern design they desired and a more direct relationship to nature. After a two year search in the Southern California region they discovered pristine acreage near Montecito at the top of a mountain and adjacent to national park land.The site strategy is one of slow revelation and discovery of the house and- ultimately- the view. The road, which had to be built for access, brings the visitor to a point below the house- where a formal stair leads up to the entry sequence. The front door frames and reveals views of the Santa Barbara coastline through the courtyard. A 40’ wide horizontal ‘panavison’-esque opening gives the house a pavilion-like atmosphere. The dwelling is organized around three courtyards; the primary one at the heart of the house also serves as the front entrance and outdoor living room. The courtyards have a dual purpose: they bring in ample natural light and ventilation but also provide protection from the strong winds that can race across the mountain. The rough and very thick boardform concrete walls, custom color-mixed to match the dark red and brown tones of the earth at the site, form a rugged shell that is punctuated by large openings and reveals of the Alaskan cedar wood siding. The inner shell’s warm wood and windows into the protected courtyards create a warm and tactile interior respite from the hardy environment.
