架构师提供的文本描述。在曼哈顿上东区，一座严重退化但意义重大的1879年新希腊联排别墅的改造，使这座建筑的历史和背景与一个前瞻性的当代住宅的愿望相平衡。这在很大程度上是通过对工艺的特别关注来实现的，并辅以设计、协调和广泛协作的数字方法。

Text description provided by the architects. The reinvention of a badly degraded, but significant 1879 Neo-Grec townhouse on Manhattan’s Upper East Side negotiates and balances the building’s history and context with a desire for a forward-looking, contemporary residence. This is accomplished largely through an exceptional attention to craft, augmented by digital methods for design, coordination, and a broadly collaborative approach.

机器生产的装饰和脆的，切割的装饰表面是新希腊风格的特征，被投射到一个当代的背景，为当前和前瞻性的制造工艺，如计算机控制的铣削和其他现代制造方法提供信息。

The machine-produced decoration and crisp, incised ornamental surfaces that are characteristic of the Neo-Grec style were projected forward to a contemporary context, informing current and forward-looking processes of making like computer controlled milling and other contemporary manufacturing methods.

它既是家庭的家，也是大型娱乐和活动的场所，它是围绕着多方向和多层次的循环而组织的。光、空气和流通使高度受限的场地的内部和外部活跃起来的机会是通过巨大的垂直开口和双层玻璃高度空间开发的，这些空间强调建筑物的宏伟比例，并在各层之间建立视觉和空间联系。

Conceived as both a family home and a setting for large-scale entertaining and events, the house is organized around multi-directional and multi-level circulation. Opportunities for light, air, and circulation to enliven the interior and exterior on the highly constrained site were developed through generous vertical openings and glazed double height spaces that emphasize the building’s grand proportions and create visual and spatial connections between floors.

通过这种设计方法，值得注意的合作包括艺术家萨拉奥本海默(SarahOppenheimer)专门安装的网站，整合到大楼的顶层。这幅艺术品由一个平齐的可行走天窗、一个铝制歧管和一个前镀银镜子组成，将天空的一片永远垂直的薄片反射到主楼梯和图书馆的空间中，在中间建筑的整体几何结构中引入了一个倾斜的角度，以及内外空间之间的强烈联系，这也为屋顶顶楼、外部空间的设计提供了信息，和后面的正面。

Notable collaborations enabled by this design approach include a site-specific installation by artist Sarah Oppenheimer, integrated into the top floor of the building. Comprised of a flush walkable skylight, an aluminum manifold, and a front-silvered mirror, the artwork reflects a perpetually vertical slice of sky into the space of the main stair and library, and introduces a skewed angle into the overall geometry of the mid-block building, as well as a strong linkage between interior and exterior spaces that also informs the design of the rooftop penthouse, exterior spaces, and the rear facade.

立面广泛使用雕刻的兵马俑元素，并纳入了一个垂直花园，设计与SUNY保护植物学家，其中有许多本土林地植物区系。由于气候变化的影响，使用的一些植物是联邦濒危物种，并首次作为城市保护园艺的试验案例进行宣传。密集的环境分析提供了立面和播种机元素的几何形状，为各种本地植物创造了被动区分的温度、暴露和湿度的纳米梯度。

The facade makes extensive use of sculpted terracotta elements, and incorporates a vertical garden, designed in collaboration with SUNY conservation botanists, that features a host of native woodland flora. Some plantings used are federally endangered species due to the impact of climate change, and are being propagated for the first time as a test case in urban conservation gardening. Intensive environmental analysis informed the geometry of the facade and planter elements which creates passively differentiated nano gradients of temperature, exposure, and moisture for a variety of native plantings.

在整个房子里，新兴和独立的美国设计师和工作室的设计作品与意大利、斯堪的纳维亚和美国的现代主义设计作品相结合。许多当代家具主要是通过设计师的委托为房子设计的，包括建筑师的一些定制作品，他们单独负责该项目的建筑和内部设计。

Throughout the house, works of design by emerging and independent American designers and studios is integrated with significant works of modernist design from Italy, Scandinavia, and the United States. Much of the contemporary furniture was custom designed for the house primarily through designer commissions, including a number of custom pieces by the architects who are solely responsible for the project’s architecture as well its interior design.
