美國加州 懸吊住宅

Suspended between two beautiful California hills, this remodel spans a creek and boasts a waterfall in the back yard.
A man-made object in nature may exist in harmony or disparity. The goal was to reconnect this structure into the environment while best utilizing the exceptional site for the clients.
懸浮於兩座美麗的加州山丘之間,這座改建後的建築跨越了小溪,並在後院擁有瀑布。
自然界中的人造物可能存在著和諧或不和。本案的目標便是將這個結構與環境重新連結,同時為客戶充分利用這個特殊的場地。



In this part of California, it is no longer legal for homes to be suspended over a creek. Therefore, there were strict guidelines on how use the existing structure as the basis for design. Most importantly, the new home had to follow the exact outline of the existing house and decks.
在加州的這個地區,住宅懸掛在溪流上已不再合法。因此,對於如何使用現有結構作為設計基礎有嚴格的規定。最重要的是,新房屋必須完全依循現有房屋和露台的輪廓。
The goal with this unique site was to enhance the relationship of the structure to the nearby bodies of water and the rock face. Rather than bearing down and disturbing the creek below, the new structural system has been anchored to the bedrock within the flanks of the hill, suspending the home completely over the water. By opening site-lines and using transparent materials, floor-to-ceiling windows, see-through floors and open-concept outdoor spaces such as floating staircases, the natural water features are visible from the front and back of the house.
這個獨特場地的目標是加強結構與附近水體和岩壁的關係。 新的結構系統並未向下傾斜而影響下方的溪流,而是錨定在山側的基岩上,將住宅完全懸浮在水面上。藉由開放地線、使用透明材料、落地窗、透視地板和開放概念的戶外空間 (例如漂浮樓梯),從房子的前方和後方都能看到自然水景。





The remodel retains 50% of the existing wood structure, inserting a steel frame beneath the original floors and anchoring the home to the rocky hillsides – thus allowing us to remove supporting columns from within the creek bed. Rather than hide this support system, it is exposed on all the floors.
改建工程保留了 50% 的現有木結構,在原有地板下方插入鋼架,並將房屋錨定在多岩石的山坡上 - 因此我們可以移除溪床內的支撐柱。我們並沒有隱藏這個支撐系統,而是將它暴露在所有樓層上。



The first two floors’ structure and orientation follow the existing house, but the new third floor rotates 90 degrees to better relate to the site. This shift breaks up the mass of the structure, giving some levity and height, while differentiating itself from the lower floors. Atop a steel frame, the roof—like the home itself—hovers, creating a dynamic space with lots of natural light.
The Suspension House at once balances the role of architecture—especially modernism—in nature with the role of the client to home.
前兩層樓的結構和朝向與現有房屋相同,但新的第三層樓旋轉了 90 度,以便更好地與現場相連。這一轉動打破了結構的質量,給人一些輕鬆感和高度,同時與較低的樓層區別開來。在鋼架之上,屋頂就像住宅本身一樣懸浮,創造出一個充滿自然光的動態空間。
Suspension House 平衡了建築(尤其是現代主義)在自然中的角色與客戶在家中的角色。
