架构师提供的文本描述。奥科特岛上现有的房子是一个受人喜爱的，60年代的低坡牧场，从左边可以看到一个完整的地下室。多年来，原本是世纪中叶住宅建筑的干净形象已陷入混乱-地下室被随意切割，以容纳更多的卧室，主楼层和公共空间被以一种奇怪的方式重新配置，右侧增加了一个非常糟糕的日光浴室。我们的第一项努力是移除这些碎片，并揭开原始表格。

Text description provided by the architects. The existing house on Ocotea was a well-loved, 1960's, low-sloped ranch with a full basement visible from the left side. Over the years, what was originally a clean image of mid-century residential architecture had fallen into disarray - the basement had been haphazardly chopped up to accommodate additional bedrooms, the main floor and public spaces had been reconfigured in an odd way, and a very poorly built sunroom had been added to the right side. Our first effort was to remove this debris and uncover the original form.

我们为这所房子设计的主要改变包括：右侧的一个新的车库，它取代了太阳房，延伸了屋顶的线条；新的前甲板，为以前沉重的正面引入了一种浮动的、薄的美学；一个新的厨房和主人套房；新的楼梯，把楼上的主要空间连接到地下室的一个新的开放的家庭房间，新的公用系统，里面和外面都有全新的装饰。这栋房子现在舒适地坐落在它世纪中叶的社区里，这是一种完全不同于目前雷利第一圈郊区的购买、推土机和建筑的方法。

The major changes we designed for the house include a new carport on the right side that replaces the sunroom and extends the line of the roof, new front decks that introduce a floating, thin aesthetic to the formerly heavy front facade, a new kitchen and master suite, new stairs that connect the main spaces upstairs to a new, open family room in the basement, new utility systems, and completely new finishes inside and out. The house now sits comfortably in its mid-century neighborhood, a stark alternative to the method of buy, bulldoze, buildout that currently plagues Raleigh's first-ring suburbs.
