架构师提供的文本描述。这个典型的奥斯丁1940年的平房被战略性地改造，将黑暗、低天花板的房间改造成一个单独的连续空间，包括厨房、餐厅和生活区。定制的神职人员窗户可以提供一天的间接采光，厨房水槽前的一个很高的窗户插槽将一棵紫薇做成框架。内置的橱柜最大限度地增加了房间两侧的存储空间。

Text description provided by the architects. This typical Austin 1940’s bungalow was strategically remodeled to transform an arrangement of dark, low-ceilinged rooms into a single continuous space with kitchen, dining, and living areas. Custom clerestory windows provide indirect daylighting throughout the day, and a tall window slot in front of the kitchen sink frames a crape myrtle. Built-in cabinets maximize storage along both sides of the room.

我们的意图是配合现有的建筑类型，即战后适度的棍棒框架结构。木架结构是住宅建筑中最常见的建筑体系，其继承美和典雅往往被隐藏起来，埋藏在石板和其他装饰材料的下面。对于这个项目，我们想要揭示和工作作为一个成品的棍子框架，并允许它塑造内部空间的特征。在建筑形式中，荷载路径的均匀分布给了木棒框架一种轻巧精致的品质。我们介绍了气球框架技术，以支持屋顶，并在框架的外部放置一个自定义窗口单元。在这样做时，我们消除了大标题的需要，也能够隐藏窗台和其他玻璃评论后面的连续木制气球框架钉。这种技术减少了可见组件的数量，从而揭示了框架的简单性。

Our intention was to work with the existing building typology, the modest post-war stick frame construction. Stick frame construction is the most common building system used in residential construction and its inherit beauty and elegance is often hidden, buried underneath sheetrock and other finish materials. For this project we wanted to reveal and work with the stick framing as a finished product and to allow it to shape the character of the interior space. The even distribution of load paths through the building form give the stick framing a light and delicate quality. We introduced a balloon framing technique to support the roof and placed a custom window unit on the outside of the framing. In doing so we eliminated the need for a large header and were also able to conceal the window stops and other glazing comments behind the continuous wooden balloon frame studs. This technique reduces the amount of components that are visible so that the simplicity of the framing is revealed.

对于暴露的墙壁和屋顶框架元素，我们选择标准1号道格拉斯杉木作为温暖色调和缺乏缺陷，但仍然是标准框架木材。这些框架元素也是家具级定制木材成本的一小部分，后者通常用于外露的框架元素。我们在裸露的钉和托梁上加了一层缎纹聚氨酯饰面，以便通过牧师室反射光线。另一个标准的木条框架元素暴露是3/4“AB胶合板屋顶甲板与A侧朝下。我们在木头上加了一个酸洗污渍，以减轻它的重量，抑制谷物的生长。效果是一个非常轻和反射天花板，有一种温暖和自然的感觉。屋面框架是分层的，使得从下面可见的暴露的结构框架支持一个二次框架系统，该系统的上方是用于绝缘的空腔，该系统还隐藏了用于连接屋顶的紧固件。

 For both the exposed wall and roof framing elements we chose standard No 1 Douglas Fir for the warm tone and lack of defects while still being standard framing lumber. These framing elements were also a fraction of the cost of furniture grade custom lumber that is typically used for exposed framing elements. We added a satin polyurethane finish to the exposed studs and joists to reflect the light through the clerestory. Another standard stick framing element that was exposed was the 3/4” AB plywood roof deck with the A side facing down. We added a pickling stain to the wood to lighten it and suppress the grain. The effect is a very light and reflective ceiling that has a warm and natural feeling. The roof framing was layered so that the exposed structural framing, visible from below, supported a secondary framing system above that from the cavity for the insulation which also concealed the fasteners used to attached the roofing.
