Bachman·Wilson住宅

Frank Lloyd Wright于1956年在新泽西州Millstone River岸边首次建造了Bachman-Wilson住宅。在他的职业生涯中，Wright已经是一个著名的建筑明星，他受Abraham和Gloria Wilson的委托建造了这个家。这座建筑是弗兰克·赖特的“Usonian”设计的一个经典例子，“Usonian”是他用来描述他的新兴建筑风格的一个术语：单层住宅，使用自然元素和简单的设计将住宅与地球连接起来，专为中等普通的美国家庭而设计的。

The Bachman-Wilson House was first built in 1956 by Frank Lloyd Wright on the banks of the Millstone River in New Jersey. Wright was already an architectural star during his career, and he was commissioned by Abraham and Gloria Wilson to build the house. This building is a classic example of Wright's "Usonian" design, the term he used to describe his emerging architectural style: single-storey homes, designed to connect homes to the earth using natural elements and simple designs, and designed specifically for mid-to-average American families.

Wright创造的透明角落，可以从高窗户在角落相遇的方式看到房子的后门廊区域，让室内空间有更大的开放和平静的感觉。

Wright's invention of the transparent corner, which can be seen in the way the tall windows meet at a corner looking out onto the back porch area of the house, allows the interior space to have an even greater sense of openness and calm.

Frank Lloyd Wright的另一个建筑特征也体现在壁炉上，因为它位于房屋的中心部分，使其成为某种象征性的建筑中心。虽然它确实有许多特征给人一种开放空间的感觉，但它也有许多其他有趣的建筑特征。

Another architectural signature of Frank Lloyd Wright is also seen in the fireplace, as it sits in the central portion of the house, making it a sort of symbolic architectural centerpiece. While it does have many features that give a sense of open space, it also has many other interesting architectural features.

混凝土块的正面有一个几乎像堡垒一样的外观，以确保与街道的隐私。房子是用Way-Lite混凝土砌块和菲律宾红木装饰建造的。它有第二层，有悬臂式阳台，这在Usonian的房屋中很少见。客厅里有一张嵌壁式的长椅，透过10英尺高的玻璃墙，面朝一片树林，象征着大自然祭坛前的一条超然的长凳。

The front facade of concrete blocks has an almost fortress-like appearance to ensure privacy from the street. The house is built with Way-Lite concrete blocks and Philippine mahogany trim. It has a second story, rare in a Usonian house, with cantilevered balconies. The living room has a built-in banquette facing a wooded scene through a wall of 10 foot high glass panes, symbolizing a transcendental pew set before the altar of nature.

公共空间是一个引人注目的焦点，有玻璃墙和开放式的平面布局。镂空木板抽象形式超过24个天窗提供了一个不引人注目的，但克制的装饰触摸这个豪华的空间。这些让人想起印第安人的几何图案，以及可能基于自然的程式化形式。

The public space is a dramatic focal point, with walls of glass and an open floor plan. Cut-out wooden panels of abstracted forms over 24 clerestory windows provide an unobtrusive yet restrained decorative touch to this lavish space. These recall Native American geometric motifs as well as stylized forms that may be based in nature.
