Appreciation towards Whipple Russell Architects for providing the following description:

在抵达这座山顶住宅时，客人们将首先看到由Richard Erdman创作的卡拉拉大理石雕塑“小夜曲”（Serenade）——它是由该项目的业主亲自挑选，其对于艺术的热忱也使得此次合作变得分外愉快。此外，本案的室内设计由McCormick and Wright事务所完成。这是一座在细节上充满趣味和新意的住宅，它彰显的是个人化的独特品位，而非对于时尚的迎合。

▼建筑外观，exterior view

Guests coming up the front steps of this hilltop home are met with a Carrera marble sculpture by Richard Erdman, titled Serenade, selected by our clients, whose devotion to the process made this an especially joyful collaboration. Also part of the team were Robert Wright and Jason York of McCormick and Wright, who did the interior design and were a distinct pleasure to work with. There are a lot of details and non-standard finishes in this house – personal taste, not trendy taste.

▼立面细部，detailed view

在立面上，粗糙的深灰色板岩与白色灰泥边框形成强烈的对比。全玻璃的枢轴旋转门迎接人们来到西海岸的当代生活，并带来远处的优美山景。穿过大厅，走下几级台阶，便到达了装有标志性竖向带状窗户和铺设以巧克力色釉面混凝土的化妆间。右侧和上方分别是两间带浴室的客房，所有台面均选用了Dekton XGloss的产品。

The dark-grey rough stacked-slate exterior is capped with crisply contrasting white stucco. A pivot-style all-glass front door and surround welcomes you to the modern West Coast lifestyle, framing a view through the house to the hills beyond. Inside, just left off of the foyer and down a few steps, is the powder room featuring Whipple Russell’s signature vertical ribbon windows and Anne Sacks concrete and ceramic-glazed tile in chocolate. And to the right and up a split-level are the two guest bedrooms with baths. All bath countertops are Dekton XGloss.

位于中央的带有天窗的开放体量是对传统庭院的现代化诠释：通过使庭院下沉的方式使所有位于地下层的房间变得开敞，从而将黑暗的空间变成了充满光线和风景的“反地下室”。

The central open volume topped by a skylight is Marc Whipple’s modern take on the traditional courtyard. He took the courtyard, and sunk it so that all the below-grade rooms open off of it, transforming what normally would be a dark basement into a lower floor with light and views – the anti-basement. The large skylight pulls the dramatic focus upwards as well, so this vertical volume contains both dynamics seen while crossing the glass bridge.

▼以天窗照亮的中央空间，the central open volume topped by a skylight

这一充满魔力的中央空间从视觉上将住宅内部的不同轴线连接起来，提示着居住者的所来所往。业主希望在这座1万多平方英尺的大房子中过上一种“小生活”。意思就是，如果你想睡觉，你不需要先从封闭的楼梯走到三楼再拐到卧室里。相反地，你可以在走出卧室的时候就回头看到厨房的一角，也可以直接和客厅里的家人们说晚安。在这座房子里，你可以在家庭影院旁边的楼梯上看到从前门到访的客人，也可以在练习高尔夫球的时候和在几步之外的厨房里的家庭成员交谈。如果没有这一强大的中央空间，那么家庭内部便会丢失应有的联系。这一策略对于最终的设计起到了决定性的指导作用，并且得到了业主的赞赏和喜爱。

▼中央空间从视觉上将住宅内部的不同轴线连接起来，the central volume is the magic that allows a visual connection along different axes within the house

For Marc, this central volume is the magic that allows, “A visual connection along different axes within the house, reminders of where you are going and where you have been. The design theory is one that we perfected with the Summit house, (and then applied to our Walker Road and Georgina Avenue houses as well) where the clients wanted a big house, 10,000 plus sq. ft., but then wanted it to “live small.” I understood that to mean if you are going to bed you aren’t going up a closed stairway and down a hall to the third door on the left. The idea is that right outside your bedroom you can look back to where you were, catch a corner of the kitchen, or see into the family room to say goodnight to someone. In this design you can be downstairs next to the theater and see someone near the front door, or be practicing your golf swing, and in a few steps see who is up in the kitchen. Absent this strong design drive of the central volume, the family connection is lost. This strategy guides a lot of decisions at our end, and when you explain it to a client they sort of get it – but when they see it and feel it as the house takes shape, they say, wow, – I love it.”

▼与室外露台相连的休息区域，seating area opening towards the outdoor terrace

在阳光明媚的中庭周围分布着厨房、客厅和餐厅。全白的Glacier White Glossy Lacquer厨房岛和橱柜来自Poliform的Varenna产品线，搭配Dekton XGloss台面以及Brueton的吧台椅。客厅和餐厅通过一个三面的壁炉实现分隔，壁炉的外观选择了与住宅立面相同的层叠岩板，从玻璃一直延伸至中庭外部。客厅休息区摆放着四张由Juin Ho设计的、以柔软羊驼呢包覆的旋转躺椅，中间是一张点缀以金色云母的Brueton黑色大理石咖啡桌。壁炉旁边是Holly Hunt座椅和Juin Ho的小型饮料桌。圆形餐桌来自纽约的Hellman-Chang，餐椅来自A. Rudin。

Surrounding this sunny atrium are the kitchen, living, and dining areas. The sleek all-white kitchen island and cabinetry are Glacier White Glossy Lacquer from the Varenna line by Poliform, with countertops of Dekton XGloss, Halo Collection, and bar chairs from Brueton. The living and dining areas are divided by a 3-sided fireplace of the same exterior stacked slate, which extends beyond the glass to the patio. One living room seating area is composed of four swivel chairs by Juin Ho, covered in soft white alpaca around a dark marble coffee table with gold mica flecks from Brueton. Next to the fireplace is a Holly Hunt chair and small Juin Ho drink table. The round dining table is by Hellman-Chang in NY, and chairs are by A. Rudin.

从客厅旁的台阶下去是带有嵌入式酒吧柜的阅读休闲区，该空间完全向中央庭院敞开，并与家庭办公室相连。

Just off the living room, there are a few steps down to an intimate library seating area with a built-in bar cabinet, all open to the central volume and an adjoining home office.

房子的后方以玻璃立面围合，为起居空间带来了朝向游泳池和远处比弗利山的全景视野，在打开窗户时则可以直接漫步至泳池和户外休闲区域。住宅整体呈V字形向景观敞开，稍远一点的地方设有一个巨大的火坑和固定在场地中的环形座椅，可以在朋友们聚会时使用。

At the back of the house two walls of glass give the living space panoramic views across the pool and patio to the slopes and greenery of Beverly Hills. These window walls glide open for a stroll to the pool and patio entertaining spaces. The property extends out in a V-shape towards the view; at the far point is a large built-in seating circle around a fire pit for gathering with friends.

后院的空间并不很大，因此细节部分就成了设计的重点。座位、水池、spa和烹饪等功能空间从外部看时连成一个整体。分隔spa区和泳池区的亚克力板、水上的平台步道以及精心设置的照明共同为户外生活赋予了格调和乐趣。设计师的理论是，在较小的空间中，精致的细节会带来更多的乐趣。

Because the backyard space is not large, detail was key. The functional spaces – seating, pool, spa and cooking, all needed to be working and flowing together as you look out from the house. The acrylic wall between the spa and pool, pedestal walkways across the water, and specialty lighting, were additions that brought an extra interest and style to the outdoor living space. Marc’s design theory here is that in small spaces, refined detail creates more interest.

主人的卧室也向水池和庭院敞开。挂在床头上方的是James Nares的画作，床头板则来自Holly Hunt。定制的床头柜来自Ironies，表面铺设3英寸厚的树脂版，形成琥珀色的水面效果。床头柜的正面采用了炭灰色树脂材料并搭配以褶皱纹路。天花板和地面采用了Mindi的木材。

Also open to the pool and patio is the owner’s suite. The painting above the bed is by James Nares, and headboard is by Holly Hunt. The custom nightstands are from Ironies which is available through Kneedler-Fauchere. Three-inch thick resin slabs were countersunk into the tops of the chests, creating an amber pool effect. The fronts are resin, distressed for a crackled linen look, with a charcoal gray finish. Interiors are Mindi wood.

悬浮的楼梯通向最底部的楼层，或者你也可以乘坐门厅右侧的镜面不锈钢电梯到达这里。除了从视觉上连接空间，这一下沉的区域还需要满足各种功能。设计师希望业主能够提供一个他们需要的空间列表。最终这份列表包含了电梯、图书馆、办公室、家庭影院、健身房、沙龙、模拟高尔夫球场以及屋顶露台。一开始并没有一个能够满足所有这些需求并且能够符合建筑高度限制的解决办法。对此，设计师想到了使空间下沉的方案：降低后的图书馆使其上方的屋顶得以符合规范。客卧被设置在楼上，在保证私密性的同时也在下方形成了额外的车库空间。

Floating stairs lead down to the bottom level – or you can take the elevator of polished mirrored stainless-steel at right of the foyer. In addition to connecting the house visually, the below-grade space was needed to fulfill the design program. “We like clients to give us a list of spaces they require,” says Marc. “Which in this case included an elevator, library, office, theater, gym, salon, golf simulation area and roof terrace – there didn’t appear at the outset a way to fit all of this on the property and still meet building height restrictions.” So, a complete subterranean level seemed a natural solution, along with doing portions of the house split-level – the library is down a few steps allowing the roof terrace to fit above it. The guest bedrooms are up a few steps, creating a more private space, and also giving those extra feet to the garage below. Three dimensionally, it’s a complicated design. When the clients saw our solution, adds Marc, “Their grasp of volume, juxtaposition, and axes was immediate.”

▼模拟高尔夫球场和家庭影院， golf simulation area and home theater

楼下的庭院通过天窗照亮，并配有休息室和藏酒室。周围的房间包括设施齐备的健身房和器械室、一间带有按摩床的沙龙、带有蒸汽淋浴间的浴室、模拟高尔夫球场以及一个铺设着Decorative Carpets地毯的家庭影院。这是一座高科技的住宅，家庭影院中不仅配有最先进的投影和音响设备，停车场内还设有一个转车台，可以识别每辆车并将其旋转到预设角度以方便驶出。

The downstairs courtyard area, lit by the skylight, includes seating and wine storage. The surrounding rooms include a full gym and weight room, a salon with massage table and full bath with steam shower, a golf simulator, and an 8-seat home theater, with carpeting from Decorative Carpets. This is a high-tech house. Not only does the home theater have state-of-the-art projection and sound, the car park features a turntable that identifies each car, rotating to a preset angle, enabling it to exit with ease.
