CASA ROCA

羅卡之家

Casa Roca is located in Yosemite Lakes, a prime location offering exceptional natural surroundings and stunning views of the national park. This house was designed with the primary objective of maximizing these views and creating visual transparency.

羅卡之家（Casa Roca）位於加州優勝美地湖區（Yosemite Lakes），這是一個擁有充沛的天然環境資源和國家公園壯闊景色的首選地點。在設計方面主要目的是運用充分的天然景色創造視覺的連貫性與透明度。

住宅的布局被精心規劃，有策略性地安排窗戶開口位置，讓生活的主要動線和空間面向這個壯麗的景觀，這些開口不僅引入自然光，當人們身處室內也能與戶外的環境相連。此外，中央敞開的空間形成一個與戶外連接的核心，人們能夠在這裡放鬆地享受天然環境所帶來的寧靜與安詳。其傾斜的屋頂與山勢坡度相互呼應，形成建築順應環境與之共存的重要特點。

The distribution was planned to orient the living spaces towards the most impressive views. This was achieved through the strategic incorporation of openings that not only let in natural light, but also connect residents with nature even when they are inside the house. Moreover, at the center of the project, an outdoor space has been created where residents can fully enjoy the tranquility and serenity of the natural environment that surrounds them. Another relevant gesture in its composition is that the slope of its roof corresponds to that of the mountain.

而在材料方面的選擇，使用了能夠與自然環境進行對話的木材，外部採用融入周圍的深色調，內部則保留原始木材的溫暖質感，同時搭配石材和混凝土等材料。而地面則保留了最初狀態，不夾帶任何覆蓋材質與周圍的三塊大型岩石存在，延續著與自然的聯繫與岩石景觀形成整體的一致性。

In terms of materials, the decision was made to use exposed materials in dialogue with the mountain's natural surroundings. Wood is the main protagonist, with a dark tone on the outside that blends into the environment, and warmth on the inside. Materials such as stone and concrete are also used. Covered floors are left bare, and the presence of three large surrounding rocks creates a link with nature, generating a sense of continuity with the surrounding rocky landscape.

如今，羅卡之家已成為旅客的時尚避風港，提供頂級設施和17英畝的私人步道和美景。這個夢幻的森林度假勝地為人們帶來大自然、冒險和舒適的享受。同時，距離洛杉磯、舊金山和薩克拉門托不遠，成為城市居民尋找擺脫忙碌生活的理想目的地。在靠近優勝美地的舒適小屋中，遊客可以完全放鬆，沉浸在自然和奢華的體驗中。

Today, Casa Roca has become a fashionable haven for travelers, offering top-notch facilities and 17 acres of private trails and scenic views. This dreamy forest retreat provides enjoyment of nature, adventure, and comfort. Located not far from Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Sacramento, it serves as an ideal destination for city dwellers looking to escape the hustle and bustle of busy life. In the cozy cabins near Yosemite, visitors can fully relax and immerse themselves in an experience of nature and luxury.
