加州陡坡上的Creek别墅竟然保存着巨大的石头
Creek House by Faulkner Architects preserves boulders on steep site in California

客户要求建筑师在加利福尼亚的一个岩石上设计一个偏远的度假胜地，并要求不要破坏巨石。

"Don't hurt the boulders" was the request from the client who asked Faulkner Architects to design this remote getaway on a rocky site in California.

住在纽约的一个艾滋病研究科学家希望有一个可以逃离都市的地方。他们找到了一处地形崎岖的地方，这是靠近塔霍湖，通向特拉基附近的一处峡谷。他们请求当地的Faulkner建筑事务所为他们设计这样的一个场所。

The AIDS research scientist lives in New York City but desired a place to escape to. After finding a site on rough terrain leading down to a ravine in Truckee, near Lake Tahoe, they turned to locally based Faulkner Architects.

设计伊始，优先考虑的是尊重自然环境，因此，建筑师设计的别墅环绕着这个地块上的所有巨石。

Respect for the untouched natural setting was a priority from the outset, so the firm designed the residence over or around all of the largest boulders dotted around the plot.

建筑师们说：“这所别墅是围绕着每一块岩石建造的。”“别墅悬挂在几块大圆石上；有一种房子根本没有建在基地上的感觉”他们补充说。

"The house was built around and in deference to every rock," said Faulkner Architects. "The house cantilevers over several boulders; there's a feeling of it not even touching the site," they added.

低矮的Creek墅是用混凝土、木材和深色的板材建造的，这些都是冷色调的材质，便于融入到周边环境中。

The low-slung Creek House is clad in concrete, wood, and dark panels – a sober palette that allows it to blend into its context.

别墅主入口在北面，这里从东北到西南有一面巨大的墙。这面墙可以保护隐私，也有助于遮阳。

The main entrance is from the north, where a massive wall runs from north-east to south-west. This provides privacy for the client, but also helps shade the interiors from the summer sunlight, which can be harsh.

“密集的公共区域导致了开放的私人空间，”建筑师们说，这个项目被描述为“颠倒常态，通常私人空间很小，且封闭。”

"Densely packed public areas lead to wide-open private spaces," said the architects, describing the programme as "a reversal of the usual, where the private spaces are smaller and more enclosed."

开放式厨房、客厅和餐厅设置在别墅中央，俯瞰着下方的峡谷。一条走廊沿着主要的水泥墙面，通向房屋两端的私人住宅。

An open-plan kitchen, living, and dining room occupies the centre of the home and overlooks the ravine below. A corridor follows the main concrete wall, leading to private quarters at either end of the longitudinal home.

除了两个完整的卧室，还有一个空间部分降低的冥想空间，在需要时可以用作睡眠休息。在别墅的主建筑上，有一个独立的房间是家庭办公室，同时具备窗户的功能，将阳关和空气带入建筑中。

In addition to the two full bedrooms, a partial lower level contains a meditation space that can be used as a sleeping area when required. Above the main volume of the house, a single room serves as a home office, but also acts as a clerestory window to bring light and air into the centre of the building.

建筑师希望避免至上而下的设计，并在整个过程中与客户的家人们不断沟通。

“所有这些设计过程创造了最后的冥想建筑，对于一个庞大的多代同堂的家庭来说是理想的，每一个成员都贡献了自己的投入——从文化意义上的重要几何学到作品的完成和色调的品质——到这个项目，”建筑师说。

住宅的内部装修以柔和的色调完成，尊重周边自然环境。项目着重使用混凝土、钢材、木材以及突出窗户的通透性。

Faulkner Architects wanted to avoid a top-down approach to the design, and engaged with the client's family throughout the process.
"All of it creates ultimately contemplative architecture, ideal for a sprawling multi-generational family, each member of which contributed input – ranging from cultural significant geometry to finishes and tonal qualities – to the project," the studio said.
The interiors of the residence were finished in muted tones, in deference to the project's natural context. Concrete, steel, and wood feature prominently, with expansive windows throughout.

建筑师们说：“钢铁和锯木形的橡树形成了阴影，与自然照明的混凝土、青石、白色石膏墙形成对比。”

"Steel and rift-sawn oak create shadows that contrast to naturally-illuminated concrete, bluestone, an、d white gypsum walls," said the architects.

房子外面的小石头花园，以及巨石上部分玻璃的地板，都提示着客户最初的意图，使自然环境不受到干扰。

Faulkner的建筑师在加州北部完成了另外两个项目：一个穿着耐候钢的住宅，和一个位于内华达山脉的无边际住宅。

Small rock gardens outside the home and occasional glass floors over the boulders are reminders of the client's initial intention to leave the site undisturbed.
Faulkner Architects has completed two other projects in Northern California: a family residence clad in weathering steel and a spacious dwelling in the Sierra Nevada Mountains.
