该住宅由Ibsen Nelsen设计于1961年，有着考虑周到的布局，但房间的特征以及空间之间的流动性并不能很好地适应新主人的日常生活需要。在业主的强调下，设计师在实体和视觉两个层面上增加了房间和室外空间的连接性。

Designed by Ibsen Nelsen in 1961, the layout of this home was very well considered but the character and flow between spaces wasn’t a good fit for the daily patterns of the new owners. High on the owner’s wish list were increased physical and visual connections between rooms and to the outdoors.

在最初的设计中，与客厅相连的庭院花园是最主要的特征，设计师重新考量了围绕着这一空间的门窗，并将其重新定义为住宅中的一处宁静的组织元素，使其不仅作为客厅的中心，也成为入口的核心、日常的交通路径，以及非正式的起居空间。

A central feature of the original design was a courtyard garden, experienced primarily through the living room. Careful reconsideration of the openings surrounding this space reframed it as a tranquil organizing element of the house, central not just to the living room but also to the entry, the daily circulation paths and the more informal spaces of the home.

单格的窗户被替换为通高的落地窗。性能升级的隔热层和高效的地暖减少了管道的使用，从而提高了天花板的高度，同时显著降低了日常的能源消耗。

 

Single pane windows were replaced and extended floor to ceiling. Upgraded insulation and high efficiency radiant floor heat allowed the removal of ductwork and low ceilings, dramatically reducing the home’s energy consumption. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

该项目使整个住宅变得更加现代化和宜居，但同时也尊重并维持了原设计的优良品质。

 

The new project is updated and more livable but still respectful of the best elements of the original design.
