沃尔特夫妇要求我们为他们20世纪20年代的平房做一个重要的扩建,以适应他们不断增长的家庭。新的体量有一个阁楼书房,两间儿童卧室,一个共享的儿童浴室,一个阁楼办公室,一个新的主卧室套房,以及一个上层的平台,其位置和标高的选择是为了收集城市的景观。厨房、起居室和客人功能仍保留在原来的房子里。加建部分与房屋不同,通过一个玻璃大厅与之相连,但仍然用真实的材料制作,以传达对老平房的同情。

The Walters asked us to make a significant addition to their 1920’s bungalow to accommodate their growing family. The new volume has a lofted den, two children’s bedrooms, a shared childrens’ bath, an office in the loft, a new primary bedroom suite, and an upper-level deck, the location, and elevation of which was selected to gather views of the city. The kitchen, living, and guest functions remain in the original house. The addition is different than the house, connected to it by a glass hall, but still crafted from real materials to communicate empathy for the old bungalow.

加建的简单的立方体形式比老房子要高,以使上层的平台可以看到平房屋顶上的城市景观。一个低调的玻璃走廊将两种形式连接起来,为两座相隔近一个世纪的建筑之间的对话提供了空间。主要的室内空间,一个阁楼式的书房,直接从连接的大厅进入。这个空间通向后方的天井,已经成为住宅的活动中心。

The simple, cubic form of the addition is taller than the old house to allow the upper-level deck views of the city over the bungalow roof. A low-profile glass hallway connects the two forms, allowing space for a conversation between two buildings built nearly a century apart from one another. The main interior space, a lofted den, is accessed directly from the connecting hall. This space opens to a rear patio and has become the center of activity for the home.

预算是一个问题,施工方法也很简单。一个爬行空间、木结构的墙壁、地板和屋顶桁架在外面用柏木覆盖,里面用石膏板和硬木。窗户开得不多,但位置很好。三个天窗的开孔接纳了更多的光线,而加建的空间在白天不需要人工照明。

The budget was a concern, and construction methods are simple. A crawlspace, wood-framed walls, and floor and roof trusses are clad with cypress outside and sheetrock and hardwoods inside. Window openings are modest, though carefully located. Three skylight openings admit additional light, and the spaces within the addition require no artificial lighting during the day.
