架构师提供的文本描述。1880年波士顿在牙买加平原附近的房子翻新，这是美国最早的“有轨电车郊区”之一。该设计保留了房屋的历史方面，如暴露的木天花板，选择灰泥墙，板岩屋顶和木地板，同时增加了新的元素，包括一个大的开放的客厅和厨房，图书馆，顶层的宿舍楼，浴室，垂直增加到侧面，和甲板。翻修揭示了早期的建筑元素，因为它增加了一层当代材料的集合和使用家居空间的新方法。该项目打开了一个典型的新英格兰封闭式信封，以增加内外关系，延伸出一个新的皮肤，在每个层次的角度，以开玩笑地与周围的环境。

Text description provided by the architects. Renovation of an 1880 Boston house in the neighborhood of Jamaica Plain, one of the first “streetcar suburbs" in the US. The design preserves historical aspects of house, such as exposed wood ceilings, select plaster walls, the slate roof, and wood floors, while adding new elements, including a large open living area and kitchen, library, top floor dormer, bathrooms, vertical addition to side, and decks. The renovation reveals early building elements as it adds a layer of contemporary material assemblies and new ways of using domestic space. The project opens up a typical New England enclosed envelope to increase the relationship of inside and outside, stretching out a new skin that angles at each level to playfully engage with the surroundings.

新旧之间的相互作用从外到内都在继续，在某些有利条件下，似乎是一座19世纪的房子，而在另一些地方，则是一座当代的房子。重新设计的特点是宽敞的，光线充足的开放空间，如厨房和客厅，图书馆和顶层，以及更亲密的空间，如书房，卧室和餐厅。

The interplay between old and new continues from outside to inside, at certain vantage points presenting what seems to be a nineteenth-century house, and at others, a contemporary one. The redesign features both expansive, light-filled open spaces, such as the kitchen and living area, the library, and the top floor, as well as more intimate ones, such as the study, bedrooms, and dining room.

顶层的甲板可以看到周围的街区和波士顿市中心。

在房子的最高点有可操作的窗户，在夏天可以有效地通风热空气。由于广泛的隔热、新窗户的战略性布置以及现有落叶蝗树的存在，夏季不需要空调，冬季被动太阳能的增加有助于供暖。

The dormer, with operable windows at the highest point of the house, efficiently ventilates hot air in the summer. Thanks to extensive insulation, strategic placement of new windows, and the presence of existing deciduous locust trees, no air conditioning is needed in the summer, and heating is helped by passive solar gain in the winter.

许多现有的材料从房子和现场被重复使用，如数百个旧鹅卵石发现在后院进行新的景观。在辉长石梯田中采用了从地基和场地中回收的Puddingstone。

Numerous existing materials from the house and site were reused, such as hundreds of old cobblestones found in the backyard for new landscaping. Puddingstone reclaimed from the foundation and site was employed in the gabion terraces. 

原来的地板和护套板作为书架和装饰重复使用，增加了新旧图书馆书架系统的相互作用。

Original floorboards and sheathing boards reused as shelves and trim add to the interplay of the old and new in the library shelving system.

木匠拉尔夫·丹尼尔斯建造了厨房橱柜，两家焊接公司-东南焊接和焊接公司-制造了钢楼梯、扶手、栏杆、梁柱连接器和部分后甲板，后者有镀锌光栅地板。

Carpenter Ralph Daniels built the kitchen cabinets, and two welding companies, Southeast Welding and Weld-Right, fabricated the steel stairs, handrails, railings, beam-post connectors, and portions of the rear deck, which has a galvanized grating floor.
