裸露的钢结构将住宅与周围环境联系起来
Built on a site which is directly across the street from White Rock Park, the PV14 House sits on one of the highest elevations in the city. The residence was a project byM Gooden Designand offers a total living space of 3700 square feet.
The house is approximately 100′ above the surface of the White Rock Lake and was completed in 2014. It was elevated in order to separate the living spaces from the street and all the traffic and noise. Another reason was to expose the house to the beautiful views.
The architects focused on creating a house that responds to its location and orientation and takes maximum advantage of everything the site offers. This design approach makes it very functional and sustainable and also gives the house a lot of character.
同时，一个重要的设计选择不是隐藏房屋的结构元素。因此，诸如混凝土地板之类的功能exposed steel structure模块和砌体被暴露。
总共有三间卧室，三间半浴室和许多娱乐场所，一个两车库，一个大型储藏室和宽敞的室外区域。一个简单的混凝土窗格人行道通向入口。
Gabion fencesframe the walkway on either side. The entrance is placed within the masonry column which divides the entertain area and the port-cochere, which is basically a covered porch-like structure large enough for a vehicle to pass through and which in this case accommodates an outdoor dining area.
The entrance foyer is separated from the entertainment area by two columns. Above, it exposes one of the bridges which connects the two sides of the second story. A glass door opens the foyer to the pool area. The swimming pool is situated in the back yard. It lines up with the masonry column which, on this side, is mostly made of glass.
The ground floor houses a large and elevated entertainment zone. It contains a sitting area that overlooks the back yard, a media room placed at the center and a small kitchen with views of the front yard. The kitchen has a door that leads to the garage and all these three spaces are connected by a long yellow accent wall.
The sitting room is decorated with neutrals, except for the yellow wall we’ve just mentioned. It has a fireplace which offers it a particularly welcoming look and a comfortable and intimate ambiance. A door connects this space to the washroom and the storage room.
媒体室设有红色沙发作为焦点。由于这些元素，它具有动态和充满活力的魅力，但否则它仍然很简单。
The main living area is situated on the second floor and can be accessed via a steel staircase. The staircase along with a few other design elements introduce an industrial vibe into the house.
The second floor also houses the dining room which is overlooking the backyard, the living room which is facing the front yard and the kitchen.
厨房放在客厅后面。它连接到一个走廊，一侧一侧通往主卧室，另一侧到达浴室和第二间卧室。大型步入式储藏室将浴室和厨房工作区分开。
All three bedrooms have access to terraces. Two of them are facing the front of the house and one is looking towards the back. Covered terraces reveal panoramic views on both sides.
The master bedroom has a stylish en-suite bathroom with a zen interior. The marble walls and floor are complemented by industrial elements resulting in a unique combination and a charming aesthetic.
The third bedroom faces the front yard and it too has its own en-suite bathroom this one featuring double vanities. A staircase next to this bedroom leads to a hallway which has a small sitting area. The staircase leads up to the roof deck.
The roof deck, apart from being a perfect relaxation spot, offers spectacular views and, at the same time, serves as a solar screen that protects the membrane roof below and thus helps reduce the energy cost and extends the life of the roof.
除了这个美丽的屋顶甲板外，该住宅还覆盖了前后的露台。此外，大的悬垂和门廊将窗户屏蔽到阳光直射的同时，让光线进入并打开内部空间。
