Appreciation towards Edmonds + Lee Architects for providing the following description:

记得住宅坐落在旧金山Noe Valley的下坡处，拥有纵向叠加的、外观干脆利落的四层体量，是Edmonds + Lee建筑事务所为一个三口之家设计的紧凑的居住单元。

On a down-sloping hillside parcel of land in San Francisco’s Noe Valley sits the Remember House, a four-story project that embraces vertical stacking and crisp materiality and was designed by Edmonds + Lee Architects for a tightly-knit family unit of three.

四层的体量通常会带来密闭或重复的感觉，因此建筑师着力于唤起纵向流线的功能价值，舍弃了洛杉矶式住宅一贯的平铺风格，尤其是在建筑面积中将一切最大化的做法，反之将住宅的剖面打开，以最大程度地实现宽敞且充满冒险的感觉。尽管这意味着要牺牲一小部分实用面积，但却为建筑带来了更多乐趣。双层高空间和位于中轴线上的楼梯使主人和他们的客人能够在每个楼层中都得到充分交流。

Four-story massing usually leads to a space that feels tight or repetitive, so the architects worked to make the vertical circulation both evocative and valuable, forgoing the pancake-style San Francisco house where everything is maximized in terms of square footage, and instead opening the house in section, maximizing a feeling of spaciousness and a sense of architectural adventure. That meant a small sacrifice in terms of physically usable space, but a huge gain in terms of enjoyable architecture. Double-height spaces and a staircase centered within the central spine of the house encourage the clients and their visitors to engage with each level.

对于室内空间，建筑师首先从物质材料入手，在设计最初便选择了作为整栋住宅基调的Dinesen白色花旗松木地板，并在建筑既有的几何形态中构建出一个纯白的空间。这种“白上加白”的选择基于房主在审美上对纯净、留白以及极简主义的一贯关注，以及他们对于室内设计的极大热情，这些都与Edmonds + Lee事务所不谋而合：例如画廊或艺术馆的视觉趣味往往产生于布置、艺术品以及家具。“我们是在为房主设计一块画布，使他们能够去展示自己的作品”，建筑师Robert Edmonds如是说。这是一块天衣无缝的画布，完全的空间流动，以及连贯一致的材料，这种行云流水般的空间变化，与现代主义建筑中常见的中断感完全不同。

On the interior, the architects started with the materiality first, working within the inherited geometry of the project, and from an all-white palette that began with the very first design choice, white Douglas fir floors from Dinesen, something the architects knew they were going to build the house around. They started with white-on-white because of the clients’ general aesthetic focus—on white, spare, minimalism—and their enthusiasm for treating interiors the same way Edmonds + Lee do: like galleries or museums where the main visual interest pops from the decor, the art, and the furniture. “We were designing a neutral canvas onto which they project their own artifacts,” says architect Robert Edmonds. That neutral canvas became seamless, with spaces that flow from end to end, and with a continuity of materials that favor fluid transitions over the sharp disconnects so often found in modernist projects.

室外空间的色调选择也是关键所在。由于这是一个翻新项目，因而需要在既有的骨架和地块中进行操作，临街的体量需要保持原状；建筑师没有太多可以改动的地方。为了与室内延绵的白色和附近两座同为白色的房屋形成对应，建筑师为住宅选择了暗色的立面，使其与周围环境及其自身所容纳的空间显出不同。

The sharpest moment is in the choice of exterior palette. Because the project was a renovation that required working within existing bones and an existing ground parcel, the street-side massing needed to remain consistent; there wasn’t much the architects could do with it. Offering a counterpoint to the interior’s spreading whiteness, and to the two neighboring houses, both of which are white, the architects chose to wrap the front in a dark cladding, differentiating the house from its neighbors and also from what it contains.

Edmonds + Lee还担任了室内家具和陈设的设计，并使无缝衔接的流畅性贯穿于建筑的始终。建筑师着力于连贯性，不仅考虑到材料与空间（建筑设计的重中之重），同时也考虑到了家具与室内设计。他们对美的关注体现在每一个大大小小的方面，为建筑带来逻辑严密且充满活力的空间、材质以及建筑性的编排。例如，为强调坚固、持久和沉稳的质感，建筑师为推拉门设计了一个巨大的框架；又或者是两英寸厚的花旗松木地板，为建筑带来一种不可思议的触觉体验。

Edmonds + Lee also designed the interior furnishings, working with an ongoing notion of seamlessness all the way though the project. Working on a schematic level, the architects thought about materiality and space, (the big ideas of capital-A Architecture), but also furniture and interior design. Their aesthetic focus explored everything from the greatest mass to the smallest detail – which allowed for a precise and vibrant spatial, material, and architectural choreography, like the sliding doors, for which the architects introduced a large window frame to bring a sense of solidity, history, and heft, or those Douglas fir floorboards, two-inch thick pieces of wood that create what Edmonds sees as an incredibly haptic experience.

“记得住宅”的主人为它赋予了这个名字，他们希望能够始终记住自己来自何方，如今又为何居于此地，同时永远不忘记这里的建筑、空间以及设计为他们带来了多么与众不同且值得铭记的生活。

The Remember house was named by the clients to help them remember where they’d come from, and what they’d done to get here. To never forget that architecture, space, and design create the ultimate foundation from which to build a compelling and memorable life.
