架构师提供的文本描述。位于南公园斜坡不断扩张的布鲁克林的边缘，这一翻修最大限度地利用了一个无法描述的建筑外壳的潜力，以及有限的预算，以创造一个现代化的、充满光线的住宅，承认这座建筑的过去，同时展望社区的未来。一栋三层楼的顶上两层被改建为业主的复式公寓，一层是出租的，一条现有的消防通道被从外墙移走。

Text description provided by the architects. Situated at the edge of ever-expanding gentrified Brooklyn in South Park Slope, this renovation maximizes the potential of a non-descript building shell, and limited budget, to create a modern, light filled home that acknowledges the building’s past, while envisioning the neighborhood’s future. The top two floors of a three story building were converted to an owner’s duplex, with a rental on the ground floor, and an existing fire escape was removed from the façade.

这座住宅位于一个折中的街区，由20世纪初大小相似或较小的多家庭建筑组成，与最近建造的几栋较大的共管公寓楼混合在一起。街区缺乏统一性，这为大胆的立面设计提供了机会。原始外观的痕迹保留在窗口放置的节奏中，以及外部覆层材料的几何形状中。

The home is located on an eclectic block consisting of  early 1900s multi-family buildings of similar or smaller size, mixed with several recently constructed larger condominium buildings. The lack in uniformity on the block presented an opportunity for a bold façade design. Traces of the original facade are retained in the rhythm of the window placement, and in the geometry of the exterior cladding materials.

主要包层材料-波纹镀锌钢-被选择用于与工地相邻的坚韧、折中的建筑混合，以及它的可承受性。在漆红色面板前安装的穿孔铝制框架重音板为外墙提供了复杂性和平衡性。在主浴室淋浴中，红色的口音被用来固定入口的天篷和结霜的玻璃窗。

The primary cladding material-corrugated galvanized steel-was selected to blend in to the gritty, eclectic architecture adjacent to the site, as well as for its affordability. Framed accent panels of perforated aluminum installed in front of painted red panels provide complexity and balance to the façade. Red accents were used to frame the entry canopy and the frosted glass window in the Master Bathroom shower.

室内空间同样强调原始结构的痕迹。在业主复式公寓的较低层，现有的砖烟囱胸已成为主要居住空间的组织单元，以及顶层的主浴室。

The Interior spaces equally emphasize traces of the original structure. An existing brick chimney breast became the organizing element for the primary living space on the lower level of the owner’s duplex, as well as the Master Bathroom on the top floor.

从一楼往上的楼梯进入业主复式公寓主客厅的中心。这一层包括一个开放的家庭空间在前面，包括一个厨房，餐厅和小座位区。这个空间是四口之家的主要聚集地-烹饪，吃饭，练习音乐，早晨的杂乱无章，等等。地板的后部是另一个单独但独特的空间，专门用于更安静、更私密的活动，包括一个工作空间和观看电视的区域。这两个区域被一个壁橱和浴室隔开。

A stair up from the ground floor enters into the center of the main living floor of an owner’s duplex. This floor consists of an open family space at the front, comprised of a kitchen, dining and small seating area. This space acts as the primary gathering space for the young family of four-cooking, eating, practicing music, the chaos of the morning routine, etc. The rear portion of the floor is another separate, but singular space dedicated to more quiet, private activity, and includes a work space and area for watching TV. The two areas are separated by a closet and bathroom.

二楼由两间卧室组成，两间卧室在房子的后面，共用一间浴室，而主人套房在前面。主卧室和主卧室之间的超大开口可以用一个定制的钢和玻璃口袋门来划分，当这个门完全打开时，这两个空间之间的分离就变得模糊了。卫生间包含在一个单独的私人隔间里，使浴室的其他功能成为卧室的一部分。

The second floor consists of two bedrooms at the rear of the house with a shared bathroom, and the Master Suite at the front. The oversized opening between the Master Bedroom and Master Bedroom can be divided by a custom steel and glass pocket door which, when completely open, blurs the separation between the two spaces. The toilet is contained in a separate, private compartment, allowing the other functions of the bathroom to become more a part of the bedroom itself.

现成的材料，橱柜和固定装置与廉价的定制材料相辅相成，在有限的预算基础上创造出一个复杂的、动态的空间。

Off the shelf materials, cabinets, and fixtures are complemented by inexpensive custom materials to create a complex, dynamic space, on a limited budget.
