A-I-R在亚利桑那州沙漠住宅的生活空间周围创建绿洲
A-I-R creates oasis around central living spaces at Arizona desert house

A-I-R建筑事务所用有图案的砖墙界定这座亚利桑那州住宅，为住户提供了各种各样的室内外生活空间。

Patterned brick walls define this Arizona home by A-I-R Architects, providing residents with a variety of indoor and outdoor living spaces amongst the desert landscape.

位于天堂谷的Ghost Wash 住宅占地8500平方英尺（790平方米），有三间卧室。

Located in Paradise Valley, an affluent town near Phoenix, Ghost Wash House encompasses 8,500 square feet (790 square metres) and contains three bedrooms.

一座带独立泳池的住宅有卧室、厨房、浴室和洗衣房等基本功能，让客人有完全的隐私。

A detached pool house also has its own bedroom, as well as a kitchen, bathroom, and laundry, allowing guests to have complete privacy.

从概念上讲，建筑师们将住宅设想为沙漠之流——一种发生在亚利桑那州恶劣气候下的生物群落，并因其保留水分而使动植物存活。

Conceptually, the architects envisioned the home as a desert wash – a type of biome that occurs within Arizona's rugged climate and hosts plant and animal life because of its water retention properties.

A-I-R代表建筑基础设施研究表示，建筑的目的是设计“沙漠住宅，而不是沙漠里的房子”。

两层砖墙的体块沿着基地平行于南北两方向。较短的一个体块位于东边，包括一层的车库和厨房，以及上面的家庭办公室。这个体块是住宅的主要入口。

A-I-R, which stands for Architecture-Infrastructure-Research, said the intention was to design "not a house in the desert, but a house of the desert".
Two brick-clad volumes run parallel from north to south along the site. The shorter one, to the east, contains service areas such as the garage and kitchen on the ground floor, and a home office above. This volume serves as the main entry to the residence.

西边则为一长串私人空间包括家庭卧室和生活区域。这些都通过砖走廊进入，为了适应景观的不同变化。

Facing it, to the west, a long sequence of private spaces includes the home's bedrooms and living areas. These are accessed through a brick corridor, which steps down to accommodate landscape variations.

这两个体块由主客厅和餐厅连接，巨大的悬挑屋顶遮蔽着建筑。建筑师们说：“作为住宅的主要组织装置，这个中心的便利基础设施从Sonoran沙漠中获得启发。”

These two volumes are connected by the main living and dining room, which is sheltered by a large overhanging roof. "As the primary organising device for the house, this central amenity infrastructure takes its cues from the nature of the Sonoran Desert," said the architects.

建筑的设计还包括几何的形态，含雨水存储系统的悬挑式屋顶，以及为家庭供电的光电板。

The geometric, cantilevered roof also contains a rainwater retention system, as well as photovoltaic panels that power the home.

“（屋顶的）阴影、力量和水都在物理特性和象征性的基础上滋养着住宅的生活，”A-I-R说。“在很大程度上，沙漠流水提供了一处栖息地和完整的生态系统，Ghost Wash保护，连接，并促进住宅的室内外生活。”

"[The roof's] shade, power, and water both physically and symbolically nurture the life of the house," said A-I-R. "In much the same way that desert washes provide a habitat and an ecosystem that facilitates desert life, the Ghost Wash protects, connects, and facilitates the indoor and outdoor life of the residence."

从住宅的公共区域到卧室均提供着充足的户外空间。砖墙包围了一系列庭院和阴影区域，许多台阶通向被中心居住空间忽视的斜坡。

Ample access to the outdoors is provided from the home's public areas and bedrooms. Tessellated brick walls enclose a series of courtyard and shaded areas, and a set of steps leads down a gradual slope to a pool overlooked by the central living space.

建筑师们为了补充整座住宅中使用的浅砖，采用了混凝土、落地玻璃窗和大屋顶的风化钢来进行整体平衡。

The architects complemented the pale brick used throughout the home with accents of concrete, floor-to-ceiling glass windows, and weathering steel for the large roof.

其他沙漠项目也使用了类似的色调。同样在亚利桑那州，建筑事务所Marwan al - sayed完成了一套房子，其特点是用石灰石墙定义室内外空间，而DUST建筑事务所则使用由火山石制成的夯实土材料，在圣拉斐尔山谷建造了一座住宅。

Other desert projects have used a similar palette. Also in Arizona, architect Marwan Al-Sayed completed a home characterised by patterned limestone walls that define indoor and outdoor space, while DUST architecture used a rammed-earth substance made from volcanic stones to build a house in the San Rafael Valley.
