对于新房子来说，最合适的组合是使用原始结构的“药丸盒”类型。

The most contextually appropriate massing for the new house was to work with the “pill-box” typology of the original structure.

旋转屋顶线的方向，90度，提供了一个类似的街道存在，聚集，但能力，以更深的移动到后方的网站。

Rotating the orientation of the roof line ninety degrees provide a house with a similar street presence massing but the ability to move deeper into the rear of the site.

房子是由当地的建设者建造的，使用的是建筑商级别的细节和常用的材料和框架。业主选择使用木材墙板的外观，因为它的视觉温暖和可再生的质量。

The home was to be constructed by a local builder using builder-level detailing and common materials and framing. The Owners elected to use wood siding on the exterior for its visual warmth and renewable quality.
