架构师提供的文本描述。在洛杉矶市中心郊外鲜为人知的赫蒙社区，一座破旧的1920年的平房经历了一次重大的改造，给旧建筑带来了新的生活。新增加的房子正面与改建后的现有房屋形成了独特的联盟。这一新的前沿似乎是密切嵌套在老房子内，同时保持一个鲜明的区别。正面已经覆盖了一个清晰的雪松，这与燃烧的雪松形成鲜明的对比，它包裹着建筑的其余部分。前面的附加整合了房子与相邻的街景，因为它梯田下到人行道和形成一个长凳。

Text description provided by the architects. In the little-known neighborhood of Hermon, located just outside of downtown Los Angeles, a dilapidated 1920’s bungalow has undergone a major remodel, bringing new life to the old structure. The new addition to the front of the house forms a unique alliance with the remodeled existing house. This new frontispiece appears to be intimately nested within the older existing house, while maintaining a stark differentiation. The frontispiece has been clad in a clear cedar which contrasts the torched cedar that wraps the rest of the structure. The front addition integrates the house with the adjacent streetscape as it terraces down to the sidewalk and forms a long bench.

原来的门廊屋顶被拆除，在屋顶上留下一个大的三角形的开口，这已经成为天窗，淹没了内部的自然光。现有的天花板被拆除，以暴露原来的木制屋顶结构。新胡桃和柚木完成始终是相似的色调与这种现有的木材，模糊了新旧之间的区别。木头和白色灰泥的简单结合让人联想到加州的使命建筑。

The original gabled porch roof was removed leaving a large triangular opening in the roof which has become a skylight, flooding the interior with natural light. The existing ceiling was removed to expose the original wooden roof structure. The new walnut and teak finishes throughout are similar in tone with this existing wood, blurring the distinction between old and new. The simple combination of the wood and white plaster throughout is reminiscent of California mission architecture.

木包厨房被嵌入现有的灰泥-成品外壳，形成一个独特的空间内的一个空间，反映了新旧的外部关系，同时隐藏经济宜家橱柜。厨房柜台上方的一扇大窗户滑开，将室外带入，同时允许从外部使用计数器。室内的其他区域被一系列内置的东西所打断，它们将日常生活中的物体和它们所在的空间结合在一起。

The wood clad kitchen is embedded within the existing plaster-finished enclosure, forming a distinct space within a space that echoes the exterior relationship of old and new, while concealing economic Ikea cabinetry. A large window over the kitchen counter slides open, bringing the outdoors in while allowing use of the counter from the exterior. Other areas of the interior are punctuated by a series of built-ins that integrate everyday objects with the spaces they’re in.
