美国·拉斯维加斯的日落高峰住宅

该住宅位于内华达州拉斯维加斯的山麓，抓住了沙漠建筑的真正精髓，同时表达了高级的设计和工程。客户希望得到一个大型循环住宅，可以从每个空间的不同方向欣赏到特色的场地景观。Cushing Terrell是一家建筑工程公司，在美国西部拥有多个办事处(该公司在拉斯维加斯以CTA的名字营业)，该公司的首席建筑师Jesse Vigil指出:“我们的想法是创造一种平静、宁静、水幕般的感觉，软化了现代设计的边缘，从而体会到非常宜居的感觉。”

This residence is located in the foothills of Las Vegas, Nevada, and captures the true essence of desert architecture, while expressing high design and engineering.  The clients’ desire for a large circulating home, that would also capture views in every direction from each space on this incredible, five-acre lot within the signature development The Summit, was accomplished in every way.   “The idea was to create a calm, tranquil, spa-like feeling that softened the edges of modern design and felt very livable,” notes lead architect Jesse Vigil of Cushing Terrell, an architecture and engineering firm with multiple offices across the Western U.S. (the firm practices in Las Vegas under the name CTA).

这座房子很大，包括一座14500平方英尺的主住宅、一座3500平方英尺的独立三居室招待所、1400平方英尺的游泳池和2700平方英尺的车库。尽管如此，建筑、室内设计和景观设计的所有元素都协调一致，以达到舒适的效果，适合那些已经在落基山脉西部和加利福尼亚拥有热情好客、更传统风格房产的客户。

The home is large, comprising a 14,500-square-foot main residence, a separate three-bedroom guest house measuring 3,500 square feet, a 1,400-square-foot pool casita, and a 2,700-square-foot garage. Yet, despite those dimensions, all elements—the architecture, interior design, and landscaping—harmonize to achieve a soothing effect, befitting clients who already possess warmly welcoming, more traditionally styled properties in the Rocky Mountain West and California.

这里距离拉斯维加斯只有30分钟的路程，在这里可以360度欣赏大自然和城市的明亮灯光。西北部的沙漠景观土地属于土地管理局，包括卡利科山、红岩峡谷和春季山脉等著名的地貌特征。附近的查尔斯顿山海拔10000英尺，高耸入云。

The prominent site, a mere 30 minutes from Las Vegas, provides 360-degree views of nature and the bright lights the city. The desert landscape to the northwest is Bureau of Land Management land and includes such notable features as Calico Hills, Red Rock Canyon, and the Spring Mountains. Mount Charleston, at 10,000 feet, towers above it all.

Vigil和业主一起决定将原计划方案旋转180度，这样主要的室内和室外生活区就可以观赏到自然景观，而不是人造景观。建筑立面看起来很优雅，外墙使用Gridworx制成，这是一种包层系统，可以容纳1.5英寸厚的耐用石英砂岩面板，浅色的小鹿色与沙漠色调互补。在砂岩和室内凉爽的大理石、石英岩、其他石头和灰泥组成的白色墙壁之间，有7英寸的无缝隔热层，以帮助缓解极端温度，三层玻璃窗户也是如此。定制的游泳池也有助于保持凉爽;为了呼应房子的轮廓，它的“刀刃”使水面与周围的平台对齐，与室内地板相比这个纹理更粗糙具有，防滑作用。

Together, Vigil and the owners decided to rotate the original plan 180 degrees so that the primary indoor and outdoor living areas would gaze at natural rather than manufactured wonders.  The structures themselves look elegantly spare, with exterior walls made using Gridworx, a cladding system that holds 1.5-inch-thick panels of durable quartzitic sandstone in a light fawn color that complements the desert palette.  Between the sandstone and the interior’s cool white walls of marble, quartzite, other stones, and plaster, are 7 inches of gap-free insulation to help mitigate temperature extremes — as do the triple-paned windows.  The custom swimming pool also helps keep things cool;  designed to echo the contours of the house, its “knife-edge” puts the surface of the water perfectly level with the surrounding deck, which is a more rough-textured, slip-proof extension of the same stone flooring in the house.

主住宅的开放式平面布局和完整的客厅为业主提供家庭聚会场地，以及举办一些大型的特殊的活动，同时厨房也为厨师提供了烹饪活动所需的工具。在主楼层的外面，有住宅的另一个亮点--无边界泳池，配有热水浴缸和壁炉，房主和他们的客人可以再活动中有用放松一下。

The main residence’s open floor plan and full guest house allows for exceptional intimate family time along with the ability to host large functions and special events, all while the chef’s kitchen is set up to provide even the most talented chef the tools they need to create a culinary event. Just outside the main level sits another signature highlight of the residence, with an incredible zero-edge pool with hot tub and fireplace elements that invite the homeowner and their guests in for a refreshing break in the action, not to mention its sheer beauty.

当落地窗打开时，是看不见墙壁的，主楼层是室内外生活的典范。厨房包括三个烤箱和两个操作台，一个用于准备，另一个用于休闲用餐。厨房还设有一个下沉式水吧，三面都有座位，其中一个位于室外，面朝平台的北侧，游泳池小屋（包括一个披萨炉），防风雨的户外家具上有休闲座位，非常适合刚游完泳的客人休息。

When the floor-to-ceiling windows are open, receding unseen into the walls, the main level is exemplary of indoor-outdoor living. The kitchen, which includes three ovens and two islands — one for prep, the other for casual dining — also features a sunken wet bar with seating on three sides, one of which is located outdoors. Just steps away, facing the deck’s northern side, the pool casita — which includes a pizza oven — offers still more casual seating on comfortable weatherproof furniture, perfect for guests in still-damp swimwear.

游泳池深色的装饰面有助于反射主建筑的线条和夜空。

The pool’s dark interior finish helps reflect the lines of the main house and the hues of the evening sky.
