BRELAND HARPER--加利福尼亚Burleigh 住宅

在帕萨迪纳San Rafael高地的一条蜿蜒道路上，Brereland Harper将一座两层四居室住宅改造成了树屋绿洲。该项目保留了该社区作为精心制作的中世纪现代主义住宅的避风港的历史，以及尊重西海岸气候和文化混合的设计传统。


On a winding road in Pasadena’s San Rafael Heights, Breland Harper has transformed a two-story, four-bedroom home into a treehouse oasis. The project remains true to the neighborhood’s history as a haven for well-crafted mid-century modernist residences, and to a design tradition that venerates the climate and cultural hybridity of the West Coast.





凭借其深厚的屋檐和经典的柱梁结构，我们与战后同时代的建筑师，如Buff & Hensman和Vladimir Ossipoff发现了一种共同的语言，他们将日本美学、欧洲现代主义和工艺美术的影响融入了独特的加州和太平洋风格中。由此产生的改造是对这种独特的现代主义的当代致敬，具有强烈的室内外联系，自然光、空气和阴影的构成也十分考究。


With its deep eaves and classic post and beam construction, we discerned a common language with postwar contemporaries such as Buff & Hensman and Vladimir Ossipoff, architects who blended Japanese aesthetics, European modernism, and Arts and Crafts influences into a uniquely Californian and Pacific vernacular. The resulting renovation is a contemporary homage to this distinct strand of modernism, with strong indoor-outdoor connections and careful composition of natural light, air, and shadow.





一个全新的、引人注目的入口楼梯，20 英尺的天花板高度，将相反的楼层规划串联在一起，主要卧室位于下层，公共起居空间位于上层。每个房间现在都通过连接的阳台和露台网络直接向周围的花园开放。


A new, striking entry stair with 20-foot ceiling heights threads the reverse floor plan together, with primary bedrooms on the lower level and the common living spaces above. Each room now opens directly onto the surrounding garden through a network of connected balconies and terraces.





厨房现在占据了上层的主要位置，是日常生活中实用和协作的核心。 三车位车库被改造成了光线充足的卧室和一间书房。吊吊顶天花板被剥离，展现出引人注目的体量和深度；全新的天花板装饰和饰面使每个表面都变得温暖。


The kitchen now occupies a prime location on the upper floor as the pragmatic and collaborative core of daily life. The three-car garage was converted to light-filled bedrooms and a den. Drop ceilings were peeled away to reveal dramatic volumes and depth; all-new ceiling millwork and trim warms each surface.





棕色数字装饰和楣板楣板框住了落地玻璃窗，彩色标点符号融入绿色景观，模糊了室内和室外的界限。原有的燃木壁炉等标志性特征被保留了下来;粗糙的锯红木壁板被修复并延伸至整个外部和住宅内部。


Brown umber trim and frieze board frame floor-to-ceiling glass windows—chromatic punctuation—melding into greenery views and eroding the boundary between indoor and outdoor. Signature features like the original wood-burning fireplaces were retained; rough sawn redwood siding was restored and extended throughout the exterior and into the home.





精心挑选的室内陈设融合了19世纪东亚古董和20世纪现代主义家具，每一件家具都承载着工艺和世代关怀的故事。在未来的岁月里，这座住宅将以其悠久的历史，诠释并延续其独特的南加州风情。


Thoughtfully selected interior furnishings embrace a harmonious blend of 19th-century East Asian antiques and 20th-century modernist furniture, each bearing stories of craftsmanship and generational care. This is a home that will ease into its longevity, interpreting and extending its distinctly Southern California context for the years to come.
