架构师提供的文本描述。栗树街镇屋是50年来第一栋建在波士顿比肯山社区的房子。位于“公寓”，一个地区的山和对面的查尔斯街，原来的结构被认为是一个马厩在20世纪20年代被改造成一所房子。这座建筑被一系列的结构工程师认为是无法挽救的，因此遭到了谴责，并开始了更换的审批过程。为了忠于当地文物保护社区的关注，并对社区的历史建筑元素有着准确的理解，该团队对新联排别墅的设计采取了谨慎的外科方法，以补充而不是超越邻近的建筑。

Text description provided by the architects. Chestnut Street Townhouse is the first house to be built in Boston’s Beacon Hill neighborhood in 50 years. Located in the “Flat,” an area off the hill and across Charles Street, the original structure was thought to have been a stable before it was converted into a house in the 1920s. Deemed unsalvageable by a series of structural engineers, the building was condemned and the approval process began for its replacement. Equipped with an allegiance to the concerns of the local preservation community and a precise understanding of the neighborhood’s historic architectural elements, the team adopted a careful, surgical approach to the design of the new townhouse so as to complement rather than upstage the neighboring buildings.

设计团队从最初的结构中汲取灵感，努力保持上下文的敏感性。据指出，所使用的砖块的颜色与相邻的建筑物略有不同，将外墙隔开，并在街景上标点符号。此外，最初的设计还包含了一个装饰砖框架，具有双重功能：突出窗口，并明确立面的深度。在新的设计中，采用了同样的方法对砖的颜色和士兵的课程，以获得与原来的框架相似的结果。增加了一个工作室窗口，两侧有较小的窗户，为街道的重复节奏提供了一个重音。如铜、锻铁和钢等具有时代感的材料，将建筑物锚定在附近的历史环境中。

The design team drew inspiration from the original structure in an effort to maintain contextual sensitivity. It was noted that the color of brick used was slightly different than the adjacent buildings, separating the façades and punctuating the streetscape. In addition, the original design incorporated a decorative brick frame that served a dual purpose: to accentuate window openings and articulate the depth of the façade. In the new design, the same approach was taken for the color of brick and soldier coursing was incorporated to achieve a similar result to the original frame. An atelier window was added, flanked with smaller windows to provide an accent to the street’s repetitive rhythm. Period-evocative materials, such as copper, wrought iron, and steel, anchor the building to the neighborhood’s historical context.

为了最大限度地利用自然光穿透生活空间，主楼梯被推到一边和后面，用钢和玻璃制作。楼梯顶部有天窗，从二楼庭院和一楼花园可以看到。厨房区还增加了天窗，以进一步促进自然光。还增加了一个铜背，创造了一个360度视野的屋顶甲板.家里的内部调色板在黑暗和光线之间取得了平衡。可可色白橡木用于地板和大多数磨坊。厨房和厨房外的粉刷，由卡拉卡塔大理石，玻璃和钢的窗户和楼梯。在正式的客厅里，壁炉的黑色花岗岩与传统相呼应，但却以一种现代的、极简主义的方式执行。

In order to maximize natural light penetration to the living spaces, the main stair was pushed to the side and rear and fabricated in steel and glass. The stair has a skylight at the top and is visible from the second-floor courtyard and the first-floor garden. Additional skylights were included in the kitchen area to further facilitate natural light. A copper dormer was also added, creating a roof deck with 360-degree views. The home’s interior palette strikes a balance of dark and light. Cocoa-stained white oak is used for flooring and most millwork. Whitewashes over the kitchen and beyond, accented by Calacatta marble and the glass and steel of windows and stairs. In the formal living room, the black granite of the fireplace nods to tradition but is executed in a modern, minimalist way.

一种类似的方法被带到主卧室的壁炉上，用大理石包裹着。卡拉卡塔再次出现在主人和两个楼上的浴室。特别是，主浴室提供了白色地砖，梳妆台和单色容器浴缸的休息。栗树街镇屋在接近这种历史填充时，体现了“不伤害”态度的重要性。以高质量为基石，确保新结构能够以上下文和文字的方式经受时间的考验是至关重要的。该项目的目的是拥有一种地方感，努力满足客户的需要，当地的保护社区，和历史性的灯塔山社区。

A similar approach was taken to the fireplace in the master bedroom, sheathed in marble. Calacatta appears again in both the master and two upper-floor bathrooms. In particular, the master bath offers the respite of white floor tiles, vanities, and monochrome vessel tub. Chestnut Street Townhouse embodies the importance of a “do no harm” attitude when approaching this type of historic infill. With high quality serving as the cornerstone, it was crucial to ensure that the new structure will stand the test of time in a contextual and literal way. The project is intended to possess a sense of place, striving to satisfy the needs of the client, the local preservation community, and the historic Beacon Hill neighborhood.
