架构师提供的文本描述。LeanToo是现有别墅的补充，坐落在充满活力的奥斯汀社区。该遗址的原始家园从街道上被两棵大型传统橡树所环绕，一条活跃的城市排水管道穿过了这片土地，一条干涸的小溪在后面。

Text description provided by the architects. LeanToo is the addition to an existing cottage situated in vibrant Austin neighborhood. The site had the original home set back from the street and bracketed by two large heritage oak trees, an active city drainage line that cut through the property, and a dry creek at the rear.

农舍的主人以前曾和建筑师一起工作过，并要求设计这样的设计，以便进行大规模的聚会、亲密的休息，以及成为奥斯汀的酷人。他们喜欢收藏绘画和雕塑，喜欢在家里演奏音乐。我们的设计必须能够生活和适应这些收藏品和居住者。设计本身意识到邻近的居住环境，以及业主和场地的需要。

The owners of the cottage had previously worked with the architect and had asked for the design to allow for large gatherings, intimate respite, and to be Austin cool. They love collecting paintings and sculpture, and having music play throughout the home. Our design had to able to live and adjust to these collections and occupants. The design itself is aware of the neighboring residential context along with the needs of the owner and site.

这是一套微妙的低倾斜屋顶，作为传统农舍形式的基础，我们将车座向后退，以淡化加盟店的街道存在，确认相邻的布料，并为整个建筑增添价值。原有的小屋也进行了翻修，新的厨房和客房都向外开放。外部梯田被引入，以回应几件事，包括传统的外出期间，在美丽的季节，德克萨斯山国家。在前面和后面的院子里，梯田从年级一直延伸到房子里，我们喜欢说有一个层次到这个家，在那里我们拒绝楼梯而选择台阶。这些步骤使我们能够最大限度地利用地面空间，同时又不把能量消耗在垂直循环上，而且它还允许我们在较大的会议区域之间随意聚集点。大玻璃窗，滑动面板门，和一个安静的屏风门廊，使家庭以几种动态的方式打开自己，而不损害网站的自然美景。LeanToo是一个高度细致的项目，它意识到需要复杂的缝纫，既尊重别墅，引进现代形式，并解决复杂的网站。几种材料被重复使用，有助于在材料的颜色、用途和质地上保留周围环境的特征和魅力。

It’s subtle low pitched roof sets as a base to the traditional cottage form and we set back the carport to down play the addition’s street presence, acknowledge the neighboring fabric, and add value to the whole.  Renovations were also done to the original cottage, with a new kitchen and guest room both opening to the addition. Exterior terraces were introduced to respond to several things including the tradition of being outside during the beautiful seasons of the Texas Hill Country. The terraces continue up into the house from grade in both the front and rear yards, we like to say there is a single level to this home where we reject stairs in favor of steps. Steps allowed us to maximize the floor space while not expending energy on vertical circulation, and it allowed us casual points of gathering between larger meeting areas. Large glass panes, sliding panel doors, and a quiet screen porch make for the home to open itself up in several dynamic ways without compromising the site’s natural beauty. LeanToo was a project of intense detail that was aware of the intricate stitching needed to both respect the cottage, introduce a modern form, and address the complex site. Several materials were reused, helping to retain the character and charm of the surroundings in the color, use, and texture of material.
