陰陽住宅是一座位于加利福尼亞州威尼斯安靜社區的獨棟住宅。項目設計目標是為一個多孩大家庭創造一個強調公共家庭空間的平靜、放松、有組織的居住環境。既是休息娛樂之地，也是青少年孩童與同齡人尋求社交空間時的溫馨場所。

房屋圍繞一系列庭院和其他戶外空間安排布局，這些空間又與房屋內部融為一體。面向街道一側的房屋看起來十分堅固。然而在鋼制入戶門后卻是一處能夠透過堅固外墻揭示房屋內外屬性的庭院。從入戶庭院可以看到延伸至后花園墻體的整個空間：這是連接室內外空間的第一條線索。房屋空間專為娛休閑樂而設計，通往客廳的50英尺滑動玻璃門突出了與主屋的和諧關系，讓房主可以接待更多的客人，又不會感到空間負擔過重。

一條12英寸寬的鋼制條帶緩緩貼合但又不時高于或者低于二樓地板線，巧妙地突出了房屋的外部空間表現張力——就仿佛一個連續的循環，又如同一支永遠不會從頁面上提起的筆，同時強化了將室內外區域間在空間上編織成一處單一空間的意圖。

對建造規模的靈活運用在本項目的結構設計中也發揮了積極的作用。從后方看去，這所房屋像是一座單層建筑。主臥室的大窗戶和戶外臺階都是為了強化這種錯覺而專門設計的。只有當走上臺階時，人們才會意識到這座房子其實是雙層建筑。

The Yin-Yang House is a single-family home in a quiet Venice,CA neighborhood.The design objective was to create a space for a large and growing family with several children,which would create a calm,relaxed and organized environment that emphasizes public family space.The home is also meant to serve as a place to entertain and a welcoming space for teenagers as they seek social space with friends.

The home is organized around a series of courtyards and other outdoor spaces that integrate with the interior of the house.Facing the street the house appears to be solid.However,behind the steel entry door is a courtyard,which reveals the indoor-outdoor nature of the house behind the solid exterior.From the entry courtyard,the entire space to the rear garden wall can be seen;the first clue of the home’s spatial connection between inside and out.These spaces are designed for entertainment,and the 50 foot sliding glass door to the living room enhances the harmonic relationship of the main room,allowing the owners to host many guests without the feeling of being overburdened.

The tensions of the house’s exterior are subtly underscored by a 12-inch steel band that hews close to,but sometimes rises above or falls below the floor line of the second floor -a continuous loop moving inside and out like a pen that is never lifted from the page,but reinforces the intent to spatially weave together as a single space the indoors with the outside space.

Scale manipulation also plays a formal role in the design of the structure.From the back,the house appears to be a single-story volume.The large master bedroom window and the outdoor steps are scaled to support this illusion.It is only when the steps are animated with people that one realizes the true scale of the house is two stories.

配有開放工作區的廚房是這座建筑的中心，這使得事業有成的廚師屋主可以在做飯時與朋友暢聊。臥室被有意縮小且結構簡單，以便能提供更大的公共空間來強調家庭環境而非個人領域。從早餐室透過室外庭院可以看到客房/兒童游戲室，在區分功能空間的同時，又建立起了視覺連接。成年人在用餐區就餐或辦公區域時能夠同時監督孩子們在戶外玩耍，或者孩子們也可在成年人占據相鄰室外或室內空間時來到辦公室做家庭作業。

陰陽住宅使用的很多材料，包括竹子、復合磚石、瓷磚臺面，以及浴室飾面，均為可回收材料，此外還設計有綠植屋頂，進一步強化了房屋的環境DNA。陰陽住宅采用纖維素保溫材料、輻射熱供暖和許多其他可持續功能技術，來改善建筑的供暖和制冷性能。

房屋的主能源系統包含一個12千瓦的太陽能光伏發電板系統，這是當前市面上規格最大的同類家用產品。太陽能光伏板還可為建筑提供遮陽功能，有效防止房屋過熱。自搬入以來，這家住戶至今未收到電費單。

The kitchen is the heart of the house,with an open working area that allows the owner,an accomplished chef,to chat with friends while cooking.Bedrooms are intentionally designed to be very small and simple,to provide larger public spaces,emphasizing the family over individual domains.The breakfast room looks across an outdoor courtyard to the guest room/kids playroom,establishing a visual connection while defining the separation of uses.The children can play outdoors while under adult supervision from the dining area or the office,or do homework in the office while adults occupy the adjacent outdoor or indoor space.

Many of the materials used,including the bamboo interior,composite stone and tile countertops and bathroom finishes are recycled,and reinforce the environmental DNA of the house,which also has a green roof.Blown-in cellulose insulation,radiant heating and a host of other sustainable features aids in the performance of the building’s heating and cooling.

The active systems in the home include a 12 KW solar photovoltaic panel system,the largest such residential system available on the market.The solar panels also provide shade from the sun,preventing the house from becoming overheated.The owners have been in the home have yet to receive a power bill.
