dhd：Casa Moderne是一座面积约10000平方英尺的超现代住宅，坐落在硅谷最理想的居住地点之一洛斯阿尔托斯山(Los Altos hills)橡树成群的山丘上。我们第一次到达项目场地时，这里还空空如也，山势陡峭，坡度呈33%向下倾斜——旧金山湾的景色被周围美丽而杂草丛生的现有橡树等植被所掩盖。

我们的设计目标是打造一个美丽的多功能户外空间，让场地变得更加开放、视野更开阔，但客户的设计愿景中还有一项特别的要求：创造一点与众不同。于是，我们精心打造了这样一个宜人、干净、实用且特别的现代化住宅空间。

dhd：Casa Moderne is an uber modern 10,000 sq.ft house nested in the oak filled hills of Los Altos Hills, one of the most desirable residential locations of the Silicon Valley. When approached for this design project, the site was empty with hills sloping g at 33% downhill – the views of the San Francisco Bay were hidden by the beautiful and overgrown heritage oaks surrounding the site.

The design goal was to open the site, open the views, and create outdoor spaces that are beautiful and multi-functional, but the clients wish list had another line that read: create something special. The team at dhd, a Palo Alto-based landscape design practice led by Damir Hurdich, had a clear vision of carefully crafted modern spaces that were inviting, clean, functional and special.

项目摘要 Project Summary

景观设计以住宅入口为起点，完全透明的钢门，与房子的几何语言相呼应的同时，也在视觉上与围栏创造了连通，人们在外面可以直接透过围栏或大门看到里面。如此开放且引人入胜的设计主要来自精心摆放的钢板条，使人可以直视住宅，但也仅限于正视，一旦变换角度，就会开始产生盲点，这样才能保障业主的隐私。而这种炭灰色的实心人行大门之所以配以红色调，是为了将人们的注意力从车道上引开。

The landscape begins at the property entrance. A steel gate is fully transparent and plays off the geometric language of the house. By design, visually connected to the fence, the gate allows the viewer to see inside. It is open and inviting – the steel slats are positioned so that one can look straight into the property, but only at the right angle. The moment a viewer changes the angle, the gate begins to create blind spots, creating both interest and privacy for the property owner. A charcoal gray solid pedestrian gate with a red accent draws attention away from the driveway.

在约15英尺宽的房屋入口门旁，是我们设计的现代锦鲤池。这座横跨鲤鱼池塘的钢桥由许多精心建造的钢结构细节构成，旁边点缀着一棵多枝桠的美丽枫树，在平衡其硬质感的同时，更增添了几分柔和。鲤鱼池天然的倒影效果，使钢桥上的钢结构细节在水中形成了另一种趣味倒影，润物无声地承载着所有与池塘相连的建筑、现代元素景观。悬在水池上方的钢结构一直延伸到砾石车道，围绕车道蜿蜒盘旋又循环折回在鲤鱼池塘。

A 15 foot house entry door is accompanied by dhd’s interpretation of a modern koi pond. The steel bridge, with carefully constructed steel detailing penetrating over the pond, is balanced by a beautiful multi-trunked green Japanese maple. The koi pond is naturally a reflecting pool, yet the constructed steel detailing playfully creates interest in the water reflection and thoughtfully carries the views of the constructed, modern elements connecting to the pond. The steel overhang over the koi extends into the gravel driveway, it snakes around and comes back to hang over the koi pond, before it returns to the driveway.

住宅的侧庭院呈梯田状，由此形成了两个不同的空间：一个草坪空间，一个平台空间。平坦的草地空间主要用于社交聚会，同时也提供了自由流动和多种功能的儿童游戏空间。这里最多可以容纳80多位客人。

然而侧庭院的最主要用途还是作为房子内部的延伸空间——将客厅视线无缝衔接延伸到平坦、绿色、制作精美的花园露台上。室外设计充分利用了房子的优势——梯田露台的干净线条延伸到挡土墙，又一直延伸到远处的大门。

钢材作为该基地的主要建筑材料之一，也有继续延用在梯田花园区。比如所有的挡土墙和花盆都是用钢材料制作而成，长凳和楼梯也是通过异形弯曲的钢材来制造。喷涂上一层炭灰色涂漆后的薄钢板，形成的清晰几何线条，保持了整个空间中一致的简洁精致性。

The side yard of this property is terraced to create two distinct spaces: one on grass and one on a deck. The flat grass space is designed to allow a space for garden parties yet also for free flowing and multi functioning opportunities for children’s play. Garden parties could accommodate 80+ guests.

The primary use of the side yard however is as a true extension of the interior of the house – it seamlessly extends the view from the living room out into the flat, green and beautifully crafted terraces. The outdoor is designed to take full advantage of the house – the clean lines of the constructed elements of the terraces extend to retaining walls and finally, the gate in the distance.

Steel was one of the primary constructed materials on this site – the team at dhd continued the use of steel into the terraced areas. All retaining walls and planters are made of steel – they also bend to create benches and stairs. The thinness of the steel, painted in the consistent charcoal gray creates clear, geometric constructed elements in the space allowing consistency in the crafted built elements.

木平台上的户外厨房，是家庭用餐或小型聚会的理想场所。

总之，这是一个艺术与生活、户外与室内相连的超现代生活空间：住宅入口处安装的由dhd团队设计的钢结构艺术装置，既保障了住宅的隐私，又为人们到达或离开时提供了送往迎来的元素；院子里混凝土模制的雕塑座椅既可以作为房子的装饰，也可以引导人们多在户外活动。

The deck houses an outdoor kitchen, allows family dining and is ideal for smaller parties.

Finally, the outdoor art connects to the living spaces and the house to the outside; at the entrance of the house steel art installation by dhd, providing both screening from the unwanted views into the house as well as an element that greets when one arrives or leaves the house; in the yard, concrete molded seating sculpted pieces act both as a drawing one out of the house as well as drawing the eye out of the house.
