皮特曼·道威尔住宅，洛杉矶，美国

皮特曼·道威尔住宅区位于洛杉矶以北24km，邻近洛杉矶国家森林，占地2.43hm2。此住宅区原规划是理查德·努特拉设计的一个山体住宅区，共有3层可建设地块，但最终只建了努特拉1952年的舒如尼克住宅。一个广阔的沙漠花园和露天亭占据了第二块地。而今，皮特曼·道威尔住宅建造在最后一块土地上，经过弯曲的道路可以抵达在断崖边的舒如尼克住宅。

一个现代主义地标的当代诠释

从第一栋住宅的建设至今有50年了，其间，洛杉矶在不停地成长和改变。居住在第一栋住宅中的艺术家决定在这个地段上建第二栋住宅。他们设想的是一个能容纳现代化生活方式并能体验景观环境的住所。

新的七边形住宅设计的灵感来自环环相扣的多边形，这是由很多对角切片形成的。围合的建筑物上具有一系列精心设计的切口，朝向不同方向的景观；东北墙上有一个椭圆形的天窗；位于入口的一道墙体在穿过住宅之后再次从建筑中穿出，限定了起居室外的南向阳台。

空间的透视断裂

室内的生活空间通过一个变化的序列展开，形成了住宅内和望向外面山谷的多重框景。一系列不平行的墙壁将空间断裂、延伸，没有一个房间是完全围合的。该设计中没有门，私密感是通过层叠的空间和限定的视线获得的。无门的构思让人有空间延续的体验，从一个房间流动到下一个房间，创造出一种区域的层叠感。住宅的中心是一个不规则形状的中庭，其边界融入了邻接的起居空间。这样的设计使移动和视觉联系得以延展，回应了建筑的离心特质和周围的环境背景。□

Located 15 miles north of Los Angeles at the edge of Angeles National Forest, the Pittman Dowell Residence sits on 6 acres of land originally planned as a small hillside subdivision designed by Richard Neutra. Although three level pads were originally cleared, only one house, Neutra's 1952 Serulnic Residence, was built on the site. An extensive desert garden and outdoor pavilion occupies the second clearing. Today, the Pittman Dowell Residences sits on the last clearing, circumscribed by the winding driveway which leads to the Serulnic Residence on the bluff above.

A Contemporary to A Modernist Landmark

Five decades after the original house was constructed in this once remote area, the city has grown around it with an accompanying change in both the visual and the physical context. While living in the original house, the artist owners decided to build a second residence on the site.They envisioned a home that would accommodate contemporary lifestyles and reflect an evolving attitude about the relationship between buildings and the landscape.

Inspired by geometric arrangements of interlocking polygons, the new residence takes the form of a heptagonal figure whose purity is confounded by a series of intersecting diagonal slices though the space. The emphatically closed object continuously re-frames and contextualizes its views through a series of precise, conscientious incisions at its shell; an oval window folds over the northeast wall to become a skylight; the splayed entry walls move through the house and emerge outside again to define a southern balcony off the living room.

A Perspectival Collapsing of Space

Inside the house, living spaces unfold in a shifting array of framed views of spaces within the house and vistas out to the valley below. These perspectival manipulations begin at the level of the room, collapsing and distending space through a series of non-parallel walls that never fully enclose the space of a room. Instead of using doors, a level of privacy is maintained by layering space and limiting view access. The unbounded nature of each room lends itself to a spatial continuity of experience, allowing each room to bleed or spill over into the next, creating an overlap of zones.An irregularly shaped void caught within these intersections creates an outdoor room at the center whose edges blur into the adjoining living spaces.In such ways, movement and visual relationships expand and contract to respond to the centrifugal nature of the building and context beyond. □
