美國內華達 紅岩之家
此宅坐落於 0.75 英畝的基地上，東望拉斯維加斯大道，西接紅岩峽谷國家保護區，地勢開闊，卻面臨極端氣候挑戰。當地常年強風，冬季乾冷、夏季酷熱且伴隨季風暴雨，設計師因應環境，以「防曬、防風、耐用、隱私」四大原則作為造型與選材的核心依據。建築以簡約手法呼應沙漠特質，於量體中鏤空，形成東向防風內院，並設置與起居空間等寬的高架水池。遠方城市倒映水中，「倒影」的瞬息與水面間脆弱的連結，引發詩意聯想。
Located on a three-quarter-acre parcel with views of the Las Vegas Strip to the east and Red Rock Canyon to the west, this site endures strong winds, cold, dry winters, and harsh, hot summers with monsoon rainstorms. Protection from the sun and wind, as well as durability and privacy were the simple constraints that shaped the formal direction and materiality of the house. The house repeats the spare behavior of the desert in material and form. A subtractive process left a wind-protected court to the east and provided an opportunity for an elevated basin of water that mirrors the dimensions of the living space. The distant view of the city profile on the water calls out its ephemeral nature and delicate relationship with water.
入口以暗門形式隱藏於混凝土表面，一道與水面齊平的窄口，引導訪者進入一條幽暗、略向上傾斜的通道，最終抵達一座開敞天際的內院，植栽皆為當地原生物種，構築出層層疊疊的垂直景觀。
Entry to the house is gained via a narrow opening in the concrete mass. The threshold, at eye level with the water, leads to a closed and shaded passage that ramps up slightly to an entry court, open to the sky and inhabited by a vertical landscape of native plantings. The architecture represents a contextual conversation between the desert landscape and the city.
整體設計呈現沙漠地貌與城市語彙的對話。地坪與牆體選用當地沙石、礫石及粉煤灰混凝土，在強烈日照下呈現如遠山般柔和的米黃色調，自地面延展而上，彷彿自然隆起的地景。因超過半數空間位於地下，團隊透過結構開口引入日光與通風，並於水池下設窗，增添自然採光。
Locally sourced sand, gravel, and fly ash mix concrete floors and walls in the harsh desert light take on a buff hue that associates with the distant mountains, rising from below grade to build a habitable landscape. Over half of the built area is below grade, ventilated, and lit with openings in the structure to introduce sunlight, including several submerged under the basin's water level.
建築採厚重量體對抗極端氣候，配備反光屋頂、33kW 太陽能板、高效節能玻璃與機電照明系統。臥室區位於一座穿孔耐候鋼結構中，沿東西軸展開，阻擋來自泳池的烈日與強風；南側則延伸出覆有穿孔金屬網的露台，為下層空間與停車區遮蔭。
The mass-heavy house sports a reflective roof, 33kW photovoltaic array and high-efficiency glazing, mechanical, and lighting systems. Upper level sleeping rooms inhabit a screened framework sheathed in perforated weathering steel and elongated along the east/west axis to shield the pool from wind and sun. A south-side shaded deck screened with perforated mesh extends over the form to shade the structure and cars below.
這座略微懸挑的量體，東望城市燈火，西迎紅岩峽谷景色，其沉穩的雕塑感亦與水池光影相互映襯，有如大地自然延展的形體，覆上耐候鋼的肌理，向拉斯維加斯谷地與紅岩地貌致意。
Open to the Red Rock Canyon to the west and the city lights of the east, the cantilevered form balances the sculptural weight of the basin and water. The earth-like ground form, fitted with its layer of weathered steel, is a nod to the geology of the Las Vegas Valley and Red Rock Canyon beyond.
