Studio Schicketanz embraced the principles of sthapatya veda for this retreat designed and built for a close-knit family from southern California. Sthapatya is a word from ancient India that means “establishment,” and Veda means “knowledge.” The guiding principles of the practice are based on an understanding of established cosmic order. Each element of the building must face a certain direction, and a particular emphasis is placed on the importance of using green building materials.

Schicketanz工作室采纳了sthapatya veda的原则，为南加州的一个紧密联系的家庭设计和建造了这个静修所。Sthapatya这个词来自古印度，意思是“建立”，Veda的意思是“知识”。实践的指导原则是基于对既定宇宙秩序的理解。建筑物的每一个要素都必须面对一个特定的方向，并特别强调使用绿色建筑材料的重要性。

The main residence, guest house, and barn have been built; three studios are underway. The singular vision is for a compound that can shift and adapt uses depending on family needs: for work, meditation, meals, music, games, and celebrations. All utilities have been installed underground in order to preserve the pristine nature of this ancient plot of land.

主要住宅、招待所和谷仓已经建成，三间工作室正在进行中。唯一的愿景是，一种可以根据家庭需要改变和调整用途的化合物：工作、冥想、吃饭、音乐、游戏和庆祝活动。所有的公用设施都安装在地下，以保存这片古老土地的原始性质。

This California Coastal Retreat was originally built completely off the grid. Today, a connection to the grid exists, but the entire property is primarily serviced by a large solar array, and conservation of natural resources remains very important to the family.

加州海岸撤退最初是完全脱离电网的。今天，与电网的连接已经存在，但整个财产主要由一个大型太阳能阵列提供服务，而自然资源的保护对家庭来说仍然是非常重要的。
