架构师提供的文本描述。一位注重细节的研究科学家以一种谦逊的眼光和一些基本的实际需要接近我们：第一，把1908年诺埃尔山谷的一座小屋-有着低劣的改建历史-改造成一座有凝聚力的现代住宅。第二，在附近提供一个封闭的车库，有一个很难停车的地方，还有一个有组织的家，可以收集大量的葡萄酒。这样的结果就是一座安静的3500平方英尺的房子。英国“金融时报”。有两张截然不同的脸：一张是提供城市街道交通的隐私，另一张是开阔的海湾景观。

Text description provided by the architects. A research scientist with an eye for detail approached us with a modest vision and a couple of basic practical needs:  First, transform a 1908 Noe Valley cottage– with a history of subpar alterations – into a cohesive modern dwelling.  Second, provide an enclosed garage in a neighborhood with tough parking and an organized home for a sprawling collection of wine.  The result is a quiet house of 3500 sq. ft. with two distinct faces; one that provides privacy from urban street traffic, and another that opens up to expansive Bay views.

原别墅的痕迹保存在最后一栋建筑的聚集和流通中。宏伟的楼梯标志着南部的公共空间和北部的私人空间之间的隔阂。新车库被并入“公共”集合，上下都有客人套房。在北边，住宅中心的开阔起居区，通过折叠窗户墙向东向外的甲板流血，人们可以在那里晒太阳，欣赏城市和东湾的全景，或在下面的花园里考虑城市与自然的并列。这一主要空间之上是主套房，它利用了更壮观的景观，既通过框架开口，也通过一个高的私人甲板。在下面，人们钟爱的葡萄酒藏品被安放在陡峭的斜坡上，最终得到了它应得的空间和TLC：软木地板，用来填充“以防万一”的软木地板，在气候稳定的情况下进行隔热和冷却，以及从地板到天花板的架子，还有成长的空间。

Traces of the original cottage are preserved in the massing and circulation of the final building.  The grand stair marks the separation between public spaces to the south and private spaces to the north.  The new garage is incorporated into the “public” massing, with guest suites both above and below.  To the north, the open living area at the heart of the home bleeds out through the folding window wall to the east-facing deck beyond, where one can bask in the panoramic views of the City and East Bay, or contemplate the juxtaposition of urban and natural in the garden below.  Above this main space is the master suite, which takes advantage of even grander views through both framed openings and a lofty private deck.  Down below, the beloved collection of wine is nestled into the steeply sloping site, finally receiving the space and TLC it deserves: cork floors for padding “just-in-case,” thermal mass insulation and cooling for consistent climate, and floor-to-ceiling shelving with room to grow.

从内部到外部，建筑/工程团队提供全方位的服务，从最初的概念到2013年的最终完工：城市规划、建筑许可以及设计和施工监督的所有阶段，包括建筑、室内、家具、景观和照明。全女性团队一直致力于创造一个平静而和平的静修场所。这个项目的成功在于明智地使用了这些精心执行的“瞬间”-主卧室窗户上的天然木屏，重新诠释了一棵现存的入侵树；一堵统一厨房和客厅的定制橱柜，由客户手工挑选；主楼梯护栏上的金属和玻璃舞蹈；色调和材料中反复出现的“温暖”和“凉爽”的微妙调色板：木头与玻璃并列，金属与石头并列。

From inside to outside, the architectural/engineering team provided full-services every step of the way, from initial concepts to final completion in 2013: City planning, building permits, and all phases of design and construction oversight, including architecture, interiors, furnishings, landscape, and lighting.  The all-female team consistently worked toward creating a calm and peaceful retreat, with a balance of restraint and supple details sure to be appreciated by a female client with a discerning eye.   The project’s success lies in the judicious use of these carefully executed “moments” –natural wood screening at the master bedroom window which reinterprets an existing invasive tree; a wall of custom cabinetry that unifies the kitchen and living room, clad in veneer hand-picked by the client; the dance of metal and glass on the main stair guardrail; the subtle palette of “warm” mixed with “cool” that recurs in both tone and materials: wood juxtaposed with glass, metal against stone.
