架构师提供的文本描述。1961年由易卜生(IbsenNelsen)设计，这座住宅的布局被很好地考虑，但空间之间的特征和流动并不适合新业主的日常生活模式。房主的愿望清单中最重要的是增加房间之间和室外之间的物理和视觉联系。最初设计的一个中心特征是庭院花园，主要通过客厅进行体验。

Text description provided by the architects. Designed by Ibsen Nelsen in 1961, the layout of this home was very well considered but the character and flow between spaces wasn't a good fit for the daily patterns of the new owners. High on the owner's wish list were increased physical and visual connections between rooms and to the outdoors. A central feature of the original design was a courtyard garden, experienced primarily through the living room.

仔细考虑围绕这一空间的开口使它重新成为房子的一个宁静的组织要素，不仅是起居室的中心，而且也是入口、日常流通的通道和更非正式的住宅空间的中心。更换了单一的玻璃窗，并将地板伸向天花板。升级的绝缘和高效率的地板辐射热量允许拆除管道和低天花板，显着地降低了家庭的能源消耗。新的项目是更新的，更适合居住，但仍然尊重最好的元素，原来的设计。

Careful reconsideration of the openings surrounding this space reframed it as a tranquil organizing element of the house, central not just to the living room but also to the entry, the daily circulation paths and the more informal spaces of the home. Single pane windows were replaced and extended floor to ceiling. Upgraded insulation and high efficiency radiant floor heat allowed the removal of ductwork and low ceilings, dramatically reducing the home's energy consumption. The new project is updated and more livable but still respectful of the best elements of the original design.
