架构师提供的文本描述。该项目要求对加州贝弗利山庄特鲁斯代尔庄园部分的5500平方英尺现有住宅进行彻底翻新。1954年，保罗·特鲁斯代尔(PaulTrousdale)从多尼庄园(Doheny Estate)买下了410英亩未建的房产，不久之后，他就开始开发仅限于单层住宅的大面积

Text description provided by the architects. This project called for the complete renovation of a 5500 square foot existing home in the Trousdale Estates section of Beverly Hills, California. Paul Trousdale bought 410 acres of the unbuilt property from the Doheny Estate in 1954 and soon after began developing sprawling view properties limited to single-level homes.

该酒店位于一条小路的顶端，可欣赏到比佛利山和洛杉矶大约270°的壮观景色。最初的房子是1962年设计的。弯曲和圆形元素是重复的主题，可以在整个原始设计中找到。

This property sits near the top of a cul-de-sac road and enjoys roughly 270° spectacular views of Beverly Hills and Los Angeles. The original house was designed in 1962. Curved and circular elements are repeated motifs that can be found throughout the original design.

目前的业主购买这套房产的目的是把它变成一个开放、通风、现代的住宅，供生活和娱乐之用，并展示他们不断发展的现代和当代摄影系列。改造后的设计是永恒的，优雅的，当然也带有斯旺克元素，但具有非常前瞻性的感觉。

The current owners bought the property with the intention of turning it into an open, airy and contemporary home for living and entertainment and to showcase their evolving collections of modern and contemporary photography.  The remodeled design is timeless and elegant with elements of swank to be sure, but with a very forward-looking sensibility.

在整个设计过程中，目标是编辑各种元素的东西，随着时间的推移，一个过时的房子，加上一些不幸的补充，房子的骨头是古怪和曲折，但令人鼓舞的。

Throughout the design process, the goal was to edit the various elements of what had become, over time, an out-of-date house with some unfortunate additions.  The bones of the house were quirky and meandering, yet encouraging.

在外面，前面的门面被重新组织成一个简单的柏拉图式的姿势，呈弧形的纪念碑墙的形状。高地上覆盖着带肋的印第安纳石灰石面板。粗糙的石头与房子其余部分光滑的铲子涂成灰泥的外观形成了鲜明对比。到了晚上，隐秘的灯光提供了温暖的辉光，为酒店提供了诱人的欢迎。

At the exterior, the front façade was re-organized as a simple, platonic gesture in the curved shape of a monumental wall.  The elevation is clad in ribbed Indiana limestone panels.  The rough stone contrasts with the smooth-trowel painted stucco exterior of the remainder of the house.  At night, a warm glow provided by concealed up-lighting provides an inviting welcome to the property.

这座住宅始于50年前，最初是一个相对简陋的住宅，现在却在享受着另一种生活；它是一座现代的洛杉矶住宅，面向的是非常世故的客户。除了前院之外，大部分的外部建筑都是一件简单的事情，有着洁白的灰泥曲线和一堵长长的蛇形玻璃墙，反映出了广阔的视野；这房子有点像通往风景的门户。

The residence, which started out fifty years ago as a relatively modest home is now enjoying another life; it is a contemporary LA house for very worldly clients.  Other than the front courtyard, the majority of the exterior is a simple affair with sweeping white stucco curves and a long serpentine glass wall reflecting the generous scope of the views; the house is something of a gateway to the landscape.

很容易通过它，被吸引到外面-游泳池、花园和远处的山脉。有了这种视野，一层楼的外部建筑相对于戏剧性的场景来说，就显得有点不起眼了。与之形成反差的是，。室内建筑的经验是复杂的空间流动，丰富的材料和精细的细节。

It is so easy to simply pass through it, to be drawn to the outside - to the pool, the garden, and the mountains in the distance.  With that kind of view, the one-story exterior architecture assumes a modest position relative to the dramatic setting.  In contrast, the experience of the interior architecture is complex in its spatial flow and richness of materials and refined details.
