This LEED Platinum, Net Zero Energy single-family home celebrates its – and our – existence in the intersection between earth and sky. In response to a pre-existing graded topography with an artificial elevated plateau, one arrives low onto the site, and ascends through carved spaces into a series of airy glass pavilions. These indoor-outdoor living spaces are anchored by rammed earth walls and sheltered under kite-like floating roofs. Extensive use of glass, much of which is operable, helps to obscure the boundary between inside and outside, connecting the interior to the landscape and meeting the owner’s request to feel as though they are living in a natural garden.

这个LEED白金，净零能量单家庭庆祝它和我们的存在地球和天空的交汇处。作为对一个已经存在的具有人工高架高原的分级地形的回应，一个人来到地势较低的地方，并通过雕刻的空间上升到一系列通风的玻璃展馆中。这些室内-室外起居空间由夯实的土墙固定，并在风筝状的浮动屋顶下栖息。大量使用玻璃，其中许多是可操作的，有助于模糊内部和外部的界限，连接内部和景观，满足业主的要求，让他们感觉就像生活在一个自然花园。

The owners proposed LEED Platinum certification and Net Zero Energy for House of Earth and Sky. With that as a starting point, the project strove to integrate ecological responsibility holistically into the design, such that sustainability performance and architectural expression become one inseparable whole.

业主建议LEED白金认证和净零能源的房子的地球和天空。以此为出发点，该项目力求将生态责任全面融入设计，使可持续性表现与建筑表现成为一个不可分割的整体。

The two principal tectonic components are the rammed earth walls and the folded roof planes. The walls are built using soil harvested on site. They provide thermal mass, regulating temperature fluctuations and participating in the heating and cooling of the interior. These heavy earthen walls bracket space within a seamless landscape, demarcating public and private zones while providing a sensual tactility.

两个主要构造成分是夯土墙和褶皱顶板。这些墙是用现场收获的土壤建造的。它们提供热质量，调节温度波动，并参与内部的加热和冷却。这些厚重的土墙将空间置于无缝景观中，划分了公共和私人区域，同时提供了一种感官触觉。

The floating roof planes also integrate multiple sustainable design strategies in a singular gesture. Their asymmetric butterfly forms vector interior spaces outward to the landscape. The folded shape tips solar panels toward the sun while their valleys direct rainwater to collection cisterns. Their overhangs are calibrated, working in tandem with window shades, for both shade and light – to provide abundant daylight to the interior, passive heat gain in winter, and shade in summer.

浮顶飞机还整合了多种可持续的设计策略，以一种独特的姿态。它们的不对称蝴蝶向外形成向外的矢量内部空间。折叠式太阳能电池板朝向太阳，而他们的山谷直接雨水收集水池。他们的悬垂是校准的，与窗帘一起工作，包括遮阳和光线-为室内提供充足的日光，在冬天被动增加热量，在夏天提供阴凉。

For the furnishings, designing with simple shapes and clean lines paid homage to the client’s Asian heritage, while pieces with sculptural qualities were selected to fill a large volume of space and relate to the dynamism of the architecture. Careful attention was paid to scale, creating intimacy within a largely transparent structure.

对于陈设，设计简单的形状和干净的线条表达了对客户亚洲遗产的敬意，而具有雕塑品质的作品则被挑选来填补大量的空间，并与建筑的活力有关。仔细关注规模，在一个基本透明的结构内建立亲密关系。

Finishes selected by the architectural team (rammed-earth, dark stained walnut floors, warm-colored woodwork) were complemented by pops of color that harmonize with the neutral walls and floors. Color choices were sourced from the immediate surroundings so that the line between indoor and outdoor was not jarring, but they also vary by room, depending on use and client preference. Earth and water tones were selected to reflect the landscape and sunset around the home.

由建筑团队挑选的成品(夯土，深色胡桃地板，暖色木制品)由颜色与中性墙壁和地板相协调的持久性有机污染物补充。颜色的选择来源于周围的环境，因此室内和室外之间的界线不会引起震动，但它们也因房间的不同而不同，这取决于使用和客户的喜好。地球和水的色调被选择来反映家园周围的风景和日落。
