架构师提供的文本描述。这对70多岁的夫妇买下了这座房子，开始了他们的共同生活。他们买了房子后订婚了，在房子里结婚了。他们喜欢烹饪和收集艺术，所以白色墙壁和黑色钢的调色板既是盐和胡椒的比喻，也是他们的艺术品框架的背景。颜色的POP突出了他们的艺术收藏中的颜色。

Text description provided by the architects. The Owners, a couple in their mid-70's, purchased this home to start their lives together. They got engaged after they bought the house, and got married in the house while it was under construction. They love to cook and collect art, so the palette of white walls and black steel is both a metaphor for salt and pepper, as well as a setting for framing their artwork. Pops of color highlight the colors in their art collection.

这所房子是围绕一个中央核心，包含服务空间，这创造了一个无缝的流动沿周界，主要空间面向正面和背面。现有的房屋被剥离成它的基本元素：砖墙、结构框架构件和室外空间。后二楼被移除，创建了一个面向后花园的两层楼的起居室/餐厅。钢结构被插入，以允许一个完整的玻璃墙的后方。厨房位于房子中央，面向花园，室内-室外餐桌与长椅(都是建筑师定制的)创造了一个强烈的相互依存的烹饪，饮食和享受户外空间。Corten钢喷泉提供平静的水的声音。

The house is organized around a central core containing service spaces, which creates a seamless flow along the perimeter, with major spaces facing front and back. The existing house was stripped down to its basic elements: brick walls, structural framing members, and outdoor space. The rear second floor was removed to create a two-story living/dining room facing the rear garden. Steel structure was inserted to allow for a full glass wall to the rear. The kitchen sits at the center of the house facing the garden, and an indoor-outdoor dining table with bench (both custom-designed by the architect) create a strong interdependence of cooking, eating, and enjoying the outdoor space. A Corten steel fountain provides the calming sound of water.

老化是一个重要的设计因素。一个电梯隐藏在中央核心，所有的循环路线都足够宽的轮椅。主浴室有自定义的不锈钢扶手杆和开放式淋浴，供无障碍使用。

Aging in place was an important design factor. An elevator is concealed within the central core, and all circulation routes are wide enough for a wheelchair. The master bathroom has custom stainless grab bars and an open shower for roll-in access.
