架构师提供的文本描述。以前的四栋公寓后来合并成了一套复式公寓，这个项目包括把1900年的房产改造成一个当代的独栋住宅，后面还有一小部分。现有的两层楼被废弃了一半，需要进行重大翻修.在彻底清除内部空间后，对结构进行了修改，以消除所有内墙以及后壁。

Text description provided by the architects. A former 4-plex later combined into a duplex, the project consisted in transforming this 1900’s property into a contemporary single-family home, with a small addition in the back. The existing two-storey building was half abandoned and in need of major renovations. After completely gutting the interior space, the structure was modified to remove all interior walls as well as the back wall.

布局是围绕一个新的中央开口，6‘宽和延伸的房子的全宽度，由一个线性天窗也是45’宽，这提供了充足的自然光中心空间。一个浅色的调色板和无所不在的木材有助于明亮和温暖的空间。楼上的开口把孩子们的房间和父母的卧室隔开了。

The layout is articulated around a new central opening, 6’ wide and extending the full width of the house crowned by a linear skylight also the full 45’ width, which provides ample natural light to the central spaces. A palette of light colors and the omnipresence of wood contribute to the brightness and warmth of the space. Upstairs, the opening separates the children’s area from the parents’ bedroom.

在后面的附加部分提供了通往地下室的通道，并划定了一个私人的室外露台。餐厅上方的木料体积延伸到楼上，向外延伸，与加铺的混凝土板形成对比。前面的立面被恢复到原来的特征，新的砖块，阳台和檐。

An addition at the rear provides access to the basement and delineates a private outdoor terrace. The wood volume above the dining room extends upstairs and overhangs to the outside set in contrast with the concrete board cladding of the addition. The front façade was restored to its original character with new brickwork, balconies and cornice.
