当房主购买他们1959年的房子时，它作为一个牧场房子的卑微开始被掩盖在多年来的临时变化之下。以前的业主试图将这个中世纪的牧场房屋改造成它所不具备的东西，并在后院填上一些不适合新房主需要的笨重结构。
When the homeowners purchased their 1959 house, its humble beginnings as a ranch house was buried beneath layers of ad hoc changes over the years. Previous owners tried to transform the midcentury ranch house into something it wasn’t and filled the backyard with a number of bulky structures that didn’t fit the needs of the new homeowners.
经过一生的改造，这个西北现代住宅应该得到全面的振兴，以尊重它的原始精神，并使它适合当代生活。SHED建筑与设计公司受雇于此，使用一种有凝聚力的方法和永恒的材料来消除层层障碍，恢复房屋的原始特征。主要的目标是让设计工作生活在现有的体积内，并创造一个更综合的结果，连接过去和未来。
After a lifetime of remodeling, the Northwest Contemporary home deserved a holistic revitalization to honor its original spirit and make it suitable for contemporary living. SHED Architecture & Design was hired to undo the layers and restore the home to its original character using a cohesive approach and timeless materials. The primary goal was for the design work to live within the existing volume and create a more integrated result that bridges the past and future.
分隔的平面图被打开，空间之间的联系被加强，浴室也被重新设计，以简化和提高功能。SHED提出了一种与原来的房子相一致的材料语言；石头烟囱、杉木装饰板和放大自然光的天窗。建筑师将深色的砖和混凝土地板加入其中，与原来的色调保持一致，同时为未来提供一个永恒和耐用的美学。
The compartmentalized floor plan was opened up, connections between spaces were enhanced, and the bathrooms were reworked to simplify and improve functionality. SHED came up with a material language that was consistent with the original house; stone chimney, fir decking, and skylights to amplify natural light. The architects added dark brick and concrete flooring into the mix to align with the original palette, while providing a timeless and durable aesthetic for the future.
屋主希望有一个面向露台和院子的中央厨房聚会空间。SHED插入了一个超大的厨房岛，在空间中占据了主导地位，同时提供了充足的空间来烹饪、用餐和社交。室内和室外空间通过大的滑动门连接在一起，这些门通向广阔的甲板和下层庭院的火盆区。
The homeowners wanted a central kitchen gathering space that was oriented towards the deck and yard. SHED inserted an oversized kitchen island that takes a commanding position in the space, while providing ample room to cook, eat, and socialize. The interior and exterior spaces were linked together via large sliding doors that open up to the expansive deck and firepit zone on the lower patio.
通过拆除后院的旧建筑，SHED能够重新分配空间，使房子以一种更直接的方式向院子开放。室外生活空间在成熟的树木中小心翼翼地穿过院子，并由混凝土墙进一步建立，以提供必要的结构和隐私。表层骨料混凝土砖作为主要的室内地板，与新院子景观中看到的表层骨料混凝土铺面的外观和感觉相似。小路和台阶缓缓地与自然景观接触，逐渐将住宅与物业周围的一系列私人户外空间连接起来。
By removing the old structures in the backyard, SHED as able to reallocate spaces so the house opens up to the yard in a more direct way. Outdoor living spaces carefully extend their way through the yard among mature trees and are further established by concrete walls to provide necessary structure and privacy. Expressed aggregate concrete tiles serve as the main interior flooring, echoing a similar look and feel to the exposed aggregate concrete pavers seen in the new yardscape. The paths and steps gently engage with the natural landscaping, gradually connecting the home to a series of private outdoor spaces around the property.
