架构师提供的文本描述。杜邦圈的这个两层楼高的阁楼被完全改造成一个充满光线的开放空间。在上面的地板上有一个大的开口，增强了现有生活/就餐区的垂直性，用无框透明玻璃栏杆(取代以前的干墙围护结构)使其显得更大。

Text description provided by the architects. This two-story loft in Dupont Circle was completely transformed into an open space filled with light.  The verticality of the existing living/dining area is enhanced with a large opening in the floor above, which was made to feel larger with a frameless transparent glass railing (replacing a previous drywall enclosure).

所有附属房间(厨房、浴室、壁橱和楼梯)都是“隐藏”的，以保持初级两层空间的纯净。厨房扩大了功能，可以“消失”在推拉门后面。装饰架子也可以暴露或隐藏。

 All ancillary rooms (kitchen, bathroom, closets, and staircase) are “hidden away” to preserve the purity of the primary two-story volume.  The kitchen was enlarged for function, and can “disappear” behind sliding doors.  Decorative shelving can also be exposed or hidden away.

在二楼，一排与公寓长度相当的壁橱被隐藏在白色枢轴门后面，允许大量意想不到的存储空间。主浴室被蒙在大型磨砂玻璃面板后面，作为客厅下方空间的一个视觉焦点。由于设计的透明性，中央天窗为每个房间提供了自然光线。

On the second floor a line of closets that runs the length of the apartment are concealed behind white pivot doors, allowing for a great deal of unexpected storage.  The master bathroom is veiled behind large frosted glass panels, which serve as a visual focal point from the living room space below.  The central skylight provides natural daylight to every room due to the transparency of the design.
