由SAOTA设计的Hillside住宅坐落在洛杉矶日落大道之上的海角上，与Pierre Koenig的地标性建筑Stahl 住宅仅一墙之隔。该地块占地20,000平方英尺，拥有300度的洛杉矶天际线与洛杉矶的城市景观。项目更多的是作为一个独立的绿洲，而不是一个传统的房子。

SAOTA’s Hillside home in Los Angeles is located immediately above Sunset Boulevard on a promontory just one over from Pierre Koenig’s landmark Stahl House. The site is a 20 000 square foot estate, featuring 300-degree views over the LA skyline and the city basin below, and the design was conceived of more as a self-contained oasis rather than a conventional house.

Stahl住宅是一个关键的出发点。Hillside住宅的屋顶平面的形式和衔接尽可能地向前推进，以创造有意义的外部有顶生活空间，使其建筑与附近的标志性剪影对话，并将其与环境的戏剧性联系起来。

The Stahl House served as a key point of departure. The forms and articulation of Hillside’s roof planes, which were pushed as far forward as possible so that they could create meaningful external covered living spaces, set its architecture in dialogue with the iconic silhouette nearby and connect it to the drama of its context.

突出的屋檐之间创造了“第五”个立面，事实证明，这是偶然的，因为周边的景观需要仔细控制实墙的位置，并大量使用玻璃，以最大限度地发挥场地的全景潜力，因此，建筑是通过浮动的、重叠的水平楼板和屋顶板来确定特定的景观轴线，而不是使用大规模的墙壁或外部结构。

The projecting eaves and soffits create a “fifth” façade proved fortuitous in creating a sense of identity because the wraparound perimeter views necessitated the carefully controlled placement of solid walls and extensive use of glass to maximise the panoramic potential of the site. Consequently, the architecture is defined through the floating, overlapping horizontal floor and roof plates curating specific view axes rather than mass walls or external structure.

地下陡峭的通道了创造了一个戏剧性的入口，通过一个顶部照明的中央中庭，来到通过一个12个车位的地下车库以及一个层层叠叠的室内瀑布，进入庭院后会进入主要的生活空间中心，在这里，洛杉矶市中心的景色一览无余。项目也围绕着这个焦点景观进行安排，松散地形成两翼，一翼是东西方向，另一翼是南北方向，大体上开放的内部，在没有大量墙体的情况下，通过垂直衔接和体积变化，使布局合理化。

The steep approach from below resulted in a dramatic entrance through a top-lit central atrium – rising via a 12-car underground garage and an indoor waterfall cascading into a courtyard – before surfacing into the centre of the living level in a dramatic moment of revelation as a dead-on view of downtown LA opens up. The programme is arranged around this focal view, loosely forming two wings, one oriented east-west, and the other north-south. The largely open-plan interior, in the absence of mass walls, has been articulated vertically and through volumetric changes to rationalise the layout.

在钢柱的衔接、地板和墙面上木材和石灰石的感性和触感的使用上，现代主义建筑技术的参考被广泛地运用到室内和室外的细节中。一些可识别的特征，如屋顶上的切口，在室内天花板的细节中被重新演绎，以增加趣味性。

References to modernist construction techniques are picked up in the articulation of the steel columns and the sensuous and tactile use of timber and limestone on the floors and wall, which is carried extensively throughout the interior and exterior detailing. Some of the identifying features such as the cut-outs in the roof have been reprised in the detailing of the interior ceilings to add interest.

南非开普敦的地中海气候和地形与洛杉矶非常相似，SAOTA在开发无缝的室内与室外开放式生活空间方面有着丰富的经验，他们将该方案构想为一系列连接到广泛的室外露台的起居室。这些户外空间又被一个巨大的起伏不定的无边泳池和周边郁郁葱葱的景观所包围，用攀援的榕树巧妙地遮挡了邻近的房产，并确保了他们的隐私。

In keeping with SAOTA’s extensive experience in developing seamless indoor/outdoor open-plan living spaces appropriate to their base in Cape Town, South Africa, where the Mediterranean climate and topography are very similar to that in LA, they conceived of the programme as a series of living rooms connected to extensive covered outdoor terraces. These outdoor spaces are in turn enclosed by a vast undulating infinity pool and lush landscaping along the perimeter, subtly screening neighbouring properties (and ensuring their privacy) with climbing ficus trees.

与Stahl 住宅和1945年至1966年期间建造的洛杉矶案例研究房屋的原则相一致，户外空间的慷慨的分配最大化潜在的宜居环境，重新连接了洛杉矶当代建筑失去了的现代主义传统。

In keeping with the principles taken from the Stahl House and the ground-breaking Los Angeles Case Study Houses, which were built between 1945 and 1966, the generous allocation of outdoor space maximises the potential of the liveable climate, reconnecting contemporary LA architecture with a somewhat lost aspect of its modernist heritage.
