架构师提供的文本描述。在许多方面，历史悠久的纽约市联排别墅不符合当代家庭的生活方式。第一个也是最重要的概念是重新解释经典的联排别墅，但要根据客户的要求对其进行定制，即在客厅一级拥有一个联排家庭空间，即家庭成员在厨房、餐厅和客厅之间流畅地移动；与后院有一个视觉和程序连接；对典型的美国家庭住宅的另一种解释，但在城市背景下。

Text description provided by the architects. In many ways, the historic New York City townhouse is not compatible with a contemporary family’s way of life. The first and most important concept was to reinterpret the classic townhouse but customize it to the client’s request of having a join family space at the parlor level, where members of the family move fluidly between the kitchen, dining and living rooms; and have a visual and program connection with the rear courtyard; another interpretation of the typical American family house but in an urban context.

其余的楼层严格按照自己的规划和垂直循环来确定，允许最有效的空间规划方法；尽可能多的自然光线和通风，特别是在楼板的核心，在大多数历史联排中，这些地方都是黑暗和令人不快的空间。

The rest of the floor levels were strictly defined by their own program and vertical circulations, allowing the most efficient way of space planning; and having as much natural light and ventilation as possible, especially in the core of the floor plate, which in the majority of historic townhouses are dark and unpleasant spaces.

 Floor Plan

虽然建筑物的设计无疑是当代的，但它与纽约的经典背景有关，因为它抽象地重新诠释了经典的布朗斯通乡屋，从物质性到外观元素的排列。前面的门面被推入和外推，与相邻的建筑以及经典的钢铁和砖块的使用保持一致，但它带有强烈的当代语言，在整个建筑中都是一致的，在它的直接背景下脱颖而出。

While the design of the building is unquestionably contemporary, it relates to its classic NYC context as an abstract reinterpretation of the classic Brownstone Townhouse, from the materiality to the alignment of the façade elements. The front façade is pushed in and out to align with the neighboring building and the used of the classic steel and brick but with a strong contemporary language, that it’s consistent throughout the entire building, stands out in its immediate context.

房子外部区域的设计和室内设计一样重要，就像一对有3个孩子的夫妇一样，客户需要尽可能多的露台面积，从底层的操场区到更私人、更宁静的阳台，再到果园屋顶甲板，所有这些景观项目都需要与相应的室内空间和谐地连接起来。

The design of the exterior areas of the house were as important as the interiors, as a couple with 3 kids, the client needed to have as much patio area as possible, from playground areas in the ground floor, to more private and serene balconies, to a orchard roof deck, and all these landscape program needed to be harmoniously connected with their correspondent interior spaces.
