El Dorado wraps Missouri home around sunken courtyard

美国 El Dorado建筑事务所完成了堪萨斯城的一个住宅设计，它采用了建筑围绕中心下沉庭院组织的模式。

Shelton Marshall 住宅位于密苏里州西部，总面积达2000平方英尺（185平方米）。建筑师利用基地自然的坡度与主体建筑更好地融合在一起。

American studio El Dorado has completed a residence in Kansas City that is organised around a sunken central courtyard.
The Shelton Marshall Residence is a 2,000-square-foot (185-square-metre) residence located in the city on the western edge of Missouri. The architects used the natural slope of the site to nest the main volume into the terrain.

“建筑U型的平面围合了露台花园和下沉入口庭院，”El Dorado解释道。“这也让自然光可以进入建筑，另外也成为到达住宅各处的交通核心。”

从场地的东部尽端可以进入低矮的建筑。参观者可以通过种植着植物的混凝土大台阶一直下到住宅中心的庭院。

"The house's U-shaped plan encloses terraced gardens and a sunken entry courtyard," explained the El Dorado. "This allows natural light and ventilation into each wing of the house".
The low-slung building is accessed from the eastern end of the property. Visitors descend large concrete steps filled with planters that lead to the courtyard in the centre of the house.

“顺着场地上的窄道人们可以走到建筑屋顶，这里也是住宅的主入口，”建筑师解释道，“屋顶面积比较大，种植了大片的植物，非常适宜家居生活。”

庭院可以直接通向主要的起居空间。L型的厨房、起居室和餐厅都围绕着下沉的户外空间的北侧。

"The main entrance to the house is from the alleyway, which is roughly level with the rooftop," the architects explained. The roof is a large, inhabitable plane that supports dense swathes of vegetation.
The courtyard is directly accessible from the main living spaces. An L-shaped kitchen, living and dining room wraps around the north side of the sunken outdoor space.

从起居室还可以到达庭院对面的阳台。“石灰岩有顶门廊相对道路标高抬高了20英尺，”事务所说。

建筑师将三个卧室安排在庭院的南侧。主卧室有一个可以直接通向阳台的边门。两个儿童卧室共享一个可以瞭望种植庭院的书房。

The living room also has access to a balcony located across from the courtyard. "A covered porch hovers off of the limestone bluff twenty feet above street level," said the firm.
The architects located three bedrooms on the southern side of the courtyard. The master bedroom has a side door that provides direct access to the balcony. The children's bedrooms share a study space that looks out onto the planted courtyard.

住宅外部采用再生木材进行饰面，再生木切割成相同的尺寸，并染成黑色。

住宅室内采用了天然木地板和简约的白色墙面，并选择了一些中世纪现代主义的家具，比如让空间更加整洁的Eames休息椅。

The residence is clad in reclaimed wood, which was cut down to size and stained to achieve a dark black colour.
Interior finishes mainly comprise natural wooden floorboards and simple white walls. Mid-century modernist furniture pieces such as an Eames lounge chair complement the space's simplicity.

深色的木材饰面是现代居住建筑比较流行的材料。

其他使用了这个材料的项目，比如西雅图音乐之家和北卡罗纳乡村住宅。

Stained wooden cladding is a popular material for residential projects.
Other buildings that use it include an acoustically insulated home for a musician in Seattle and a longitudinal wooden volume raised on a concrete plinth in rural North Carolina
