架构师提供的文本描述。Mintz住宅是位于克利夫兰西部附近的一座城市别墅。尽管坐落在底特律海岸社区的城市环境中，它的“处女地”却是一个像公园一样的环境中的田园诗般的飞地。不间断的景观伊利湖和克利夫兰的市中心和工业公寓，以及该地点接近繁忙的车辆通道，使项目与其城市环境连接。

Text description provided by the architects. The Mintz Residence is an urban villa located on Cleveland’s near west side. Despite being situated within the urban context of the Detroit-Shoreway neighborhood, its “virgin” site is an idyllic enclave within a park-like setting. Uninterrupted views of Lake Erie and Cleveland’s downtown and industrial flats, as well as the site’s proximity to a busy vehicular thoroughfare, keep the project connected to its urban environment.

该节目是为一对夫妇设计的，其中一人是摄影师，该项目要求有空间来生活、工作和玩耍。由于足迹有限，并希望利用网站提供的壮观景观，这些资源在四个层次上都得到了分发。这种垂直的组织结构给建筑一种城市密度的感觉，甚至与它的居住规模形成对比。

Designed for a couple, one of whom is a photographer, the program called for spaces to live, work, and play. These were distributed on four levels due to a limited footprint and a desire to take advantage of the spectacular views afforded by the site. This vertical organization gives the architecture a sense of urban density even in contrast to its residential scale.

Mintz住宅的建筑被描述为一系列最小和离散的体积，在计划和剖面上不断地堆叠和变换，从而产生建筑物的聚集。这些正式的操作不仅仅是一种组合设备，还利用了站点的独特机会和限制。而不是单一的几何图形，多个形状暗示了一个微妙的整合到显着倾斜的山坡。由于体积的叠加和重叠，由此产生的间隙空间形成了一系列的露台和悬臂，为外部空间提供了遮蔽。在内部，体积之间的交汇处创造了戏剧性的双高和夹层空间，模糊了公共和私人住宅区域之间的界限。

The architecture of the Mintz Residence is articulated as a series of minimal and discrete volumes which continually stack and shift, both in plan and in section, generating the building’s massing. More than a compositional device, these formal manipulations take advantage of the singular opportunities and constraints of the site. Instead of a monolithic geometry, the multiple shapes suggest a subtle integration into the dramatically sloping hillside. As the volumes stack and overlap, the resulting interstitial spaces form a series of terraces and cantilevers which shelter exterior space. On the interior, intersections between volumes create dramatic double height and mezzanine spaces, blurring the boundary between communal and private domestic zones.

外部开窗由各种不同的孔组成。由此产生的效果是创造一个独特的景观序列，包括景观，全景和一瞥，这重新调整了观众与周围环境的接触，因为一个人体验了住宅空间的多样性。

The exterior fenestration is composed of a variety of different apertures. The resulting effect is to create a distinctive sequence of views, including vistas, panoramas, and glimpses, which recalibrate the viewer’s engagement with the surrounding context as one experiences the diversity of spaces in the residence.
