Stack House by FreelandBuck is lodged into steep hillside in LA

美国建筑事务所FreelandBuck已经完成了一座多层次的洛杉矶住宅项目设计，建筑面积不大，内墙弯曲，其中的房间可用于出租。

US architecture firm FreelandBuck has completed a multi-level Los Angeles home with off-kilter volumes, curved internal walls and a rentable guest house sandwiched in the middle.



Stack 住宅位于洛杉矶东北部的华盛顿山地区域。这座山坡住宅的设计面临着各种挑战。

建筑师并没有让建筑与地形相分离，而是构思了一座四层高的住宅，并将其镶嵌在斜坡上。

The Stack House is located in the Mount Washington neighbourhood in northeast LA. The speculative home, which is currently for sale, was built on a hillside that presented various challenges.
Rather than create a building that felt disconnected from the steep terrain, the architects conceived a four-storey dwelling that is carved into the sharp slope.



“项目场地具有重重限制，这座建筑的设计方式就显得至关重要。”FreelandBuck是一家在洛杉矶和布鲁克林都设有办事处的事务所。

“与看似放置在斜坡上的传统山坡住宅不同，这座房屋嵌入其中，与景观建立了更紧密的关系。”

"Working with difficult site constraints is central to the design of this house," said FreelandBuck, a studio with offices in Los Angeles and Brooklyn.
"Unlike conventional hillside homes that appear to have been placed atop the slope, this house is embedded into it, creating a much closer relationship to the landscape."



这座面积2207平方英尺（205平方米）的住宅位于街道上，拥有冲击性的外观。这些体量以一定角度向外突出，而其他体量向后形成退台。正立面布置了楼梯，通往位于第三层的住宅主入口。

“建筑里的每个房间都经过轻微的旋转，在每个楼层形成无缝连接的室内外空间，使用者在每个空间都能看到圣加布里埃尔山脉独特的景色。”建筑师说。

From the street, the 2,207-square-foot (205 square metres) residence has a highly dynamic appearance. Some volumes appear to jut outward at an angle, while others step back and form terraces. A stairway cuts across the front elevation and leads to the home's main entrance on the third level.
"This vertical house uses the subtle rotation of each room to create seamless indoor-outdoor spaces at every floor, each with unique and unobstructed views to the San Gabriel Mountains," the team said.



建筑采用混凝土作为一二层外立面的元素，而上层体量采用定制切割的面板。

两种不同的图案用于外立面，形成简单的垂直条带状，而另一种图案则是层叠的框架元素。

Concrete was used for the base of the home, while upper levels are wrapped in custom-cut, board-and-batten siding.
Two different patterns were used for the cladding – one comprises simple vertical strips, while the other has a picture-frame configuration.



混合图案更具质感和深度，这通过不同色调处理进一步对比而突出。

“从白色到灰色的微妙渐变，面板和条纹板的光影效果全天都在变化。”建筑师说。

The mixed patterning generates a heightened sense of texture and depth, which is further accentuated by the two-toned colour treatment.
"Painted in subtle gradations from white to grey, the striped shadows of the board and battens shift throughout the day," the architects said.

室内设计与建筑外立面造型相呼应，通过错位避免空间过于静止。诸如用餐区、厨房、起居室和书房等公共空间则位于三层。这四个空间都有弯曲的墙壁，营造出流动感。

“每个房间的墙壁在中心弯曲，形成一系列切线弧线，融合各个空间，同时也开阔了房间视野。”建筑师说。

Similar to the exterior, the interior of the home avoids feeling static. Public spaces – a dining area, kitchen, living room and den – were placed on the third level. The floor was divided into four distinct rooms that each have curved walls, creating a sense of fluidity.
"The walls of each room curve at the centre in a series of tangent arcs that blend the individual spaces while carefully opening views through the house," said the team.



建筑的底层设置有一个容纳两辆车的车库，也可用作工作空间。顶楼设有两间卧室和一间主人套房。建筑背面布置有庭院和小院子，让使用者可以享受加州舒适的天气。

The home's bottom level encompasses a two-car garage, which can also be used as a workspace. The top floor contains two bedrooms and a master suite. In the rear, a patio and small yard provide opportunities to enjoy the pleasant California climate.
 


建筑的二层是附属住宅单元（ADU），此类附属单元一般建造于小型建筑的后院，主要使用者是客人、老人或租户。

“但是附属住宅单元独特地融入了建筑的主体内。”设计团队表示。

The second floor of the home was envisioned as an accessory dwelling unit (ADU), which typically are small buildings constructed in backyards and used for accommodating guests, ageing family members or rent-paying tenants.
"In this case the ADU is uniquely integrated into the massing of the house," the team said.
 


附属住宅单元设有独立入口、卧室、浴室和存储区。该单元位于临街的景观露台前侧。

在整座住宅中，设计团队使用了较为低调的材料和颜色。白色的墙壁和天花板搭配法式橡木地板和现代装饰。

The ADU has a separate entrance and features a bedroom, a bathroom and a storage area. The unit is fronted by a compact, landscaped terrace that overlooks the street.
Throughout the dwelling, the team used a restrained palette of materials and colours. White walls and ceilings are paired with French oak flooring and contemporary decor.

折叠玻璃门使室内外空间相互连接，使人们欣赏到洛杉矶的山地景观。

住宅的设计中加入了许多可持续功能，包括无水箱热水器和Nest控制系统。设计团队还安装了喷水灭火系统，这是美国独栋住宅的一项特殊功能。

该住宅由FreelandBuck和Urbanite Homes共同开发，上市价为140万美元（100万英镑）。

Folding glass doors enable interior spaces to spill outdoors and provide "iconic views unique to Los Angeles hillside living".
The residence has a number of sustainable features, including tankless water heaters and a Nest control system. The team also installed a sprinkler system – a unique feature in a single-family American home.
The dwelling was developed by FreelandBuck and Urbanite Homes, and is listed at $1.4 million (￡1 million).
 


FreelandBuck事务所成立于2008年，由建筑师David Freeland和设计师Brennan Buck主要负责。该事务所的其他项目包括洛杉矶工业大楼改造项目，以及MINI Living原型微型住宅设计项目。

另外，该事务所还设计了Parallax Gap，这是华盛顿特区Smithsonian's Renwick画廊的天花板装置，其特点是视觉错觉。

Founded in 2008, FreelandBuck is led by architect David Freeland and designer Brennan Buck. The firm's other projects include the transformation of an LA industrial building into offices for a production company, and an intervention of the MINI Living prototype micro home covered in bold graphics.
The studio also designed Parallax Gap, a ceiling installation at the Smithsonian's Renwick Gallery in Washington DC that featured trompe l'oeil illusions.
