这座梧桐住宅是Kovac Architects设计事务所为本公司的负责人Michael Kovac设计的，是目前公司正在进行的节能建筑研究的实验室，同时也展示着Kovac典型的设计哲学。这座建筑完全的融入了周围自然环境，采用了环保建筑材料，使得这座建筑成为加利福尼亚第一座获得美国绿色建筑白金奖的住宅。梧桐住宅的命名源自用地上三颗漂亮的梧桐树，这也是最初吸引Kovac购买这块土地的原因。用地中陡峭的坡度为这座简单的几何形体赋予了动势，建筑位于一条山路的下坡处，所以从道路方向看上去只有一层，而从山下才能看到建筑的全貌，超过了三层高，建筑面积为3400平方英尺。Kovac委托了艺术家Jill Sykes将临街面的回收纤维水泥板变成一块画布，在那里表现着梧桐树光影的丰富变化。一面23英尺高的室内混凝土墙将建筑固定在用地上，建筑形式和功能都通过这面墙进行组织。它稳重优雅的外观成为了立面上那些灵动元素的背景和对照，楼梯沿着墙面向下，将上层公共起居空间与下层的私密空间连接起来。设计采用了许多被动节能措施：保温层的设置有利于调节室内温度，较高的层高则便于空气流通，热空气通过天窗流走，凉爽的山峰则从建筑底部补充进来。 Designed as the home of firm Principal Michael Kovac， Sycamore House serves as a laboratory for the firm’s ongoing research into sustainable architecture and a showcase for Kovac’s design philosophy. The home’s seamless integration of environmental systems and green materials has made it one of the first in California to garner Platinum Certification from the USGBC LEED for Homes Program.Sycamore House takes its name from three beautiful trees on the site that originally attracted Kovac to the property; the simple geometry of the house is driven by the steeply descending site. Nestled into the downhill side of a ridge top street， the 3，400 square-foot home presents a deceptively modest one-story face to the street， while a view from below reveals a series of sculpted volumes over three floors. Inspired by the surrounding sycamores， Kovac commissioned artist Jill Sykes to turn the minimal street facade of recycled fiber cement panels into a canvas into which her subtle shadow patterns were etched.A 23-foot tall interior concrete wall anchors Sycamore House to its site and organizes the house formally and functionally. The wall’s weighty presence provides an elegant counterpoint to a delicate cantilevered stair connecting the upper living spaces to private spaces below. Its thermal mass helps to regulate air temperature while its vertical expanse encourages natural ventilation， both guiding warm air to clerestory windows and drawing cool canyon breezes from below.
