架构师提供的文本描述。在处理隐私问题的同时，平衡庭院的内向性和外向者的大胆个性，这一革新建立在坚实的世纪中叶基础上。坐落在该州首府一条繁忙的林荫大道上，这座1685 SF半个世纪前的牧场住宅既狭小又不引人入胜，使它的空间变得漆黑，与工地脱节。翻新和840 SF增加了米德维尔庭院大厦，增加了一个适当的入口，高架主套房，有覆盖的停车场，但也码头和伸展的坚实形式，创造了室内和室外空间之间的联系。

Text description provided by the architects. Balancing the introverted nature of a courtyard with the bold personality of an extrovert all while managing matters of privacy, this renovation builds on its solid mid-century roots. Located on a busy boulevard in the state’s capital, the 1,685 sf half-century old ranch home was confined and uninviting, leaving its spaces dark and disconnected from the site. The renovation and 840 sf addition of Midvale Courtyard House adds a proper entry, elevated master suite, and covered parking, but also pierces and stretches the solid forms to create connection between indoor and outdoor spaces.

回到原来的地段，这所房子被繁忙的街道交通冲走了。但相邻的邻居距离很近，这对开放室内光线和视野的观念提出了挑战。通过创建一系列的私人室外房间，室内空间在视觉上超越了原来的界限。因此，该计划成为一个独立部门的集合，每个部门都高度重视其独特的方案要求。更高的天花板高度是在公众生活的机翼上贴上新的二楼以上原来的天花板高度，允许光线渗透到更深的主层。

Set back on its lot, the house is buffered from the busy street traffic. But the adjacent neighbors are closely spaced, challenging the notion of opening the interior to light and views. By creating a series of private outdoor rooms, the interior spaces visually extend beyond their original boundaries. As a result, the plan becomes a collection of independent wings each with a heightened focus on their unique programmatic requirements. Taller ceiling heights are created in the public living wing by affixing the new second floor above the original ceiling height, allowing light to penetrate deeper into the main level.

一个人的经历是通过一系列的私人庭院和室内区域来编排的。一系列具有不同不透明度的场地墙组织通道，连接外部房间，并提供整个计划的通道。由自己的庭院组成，新的入口和垂直流通组件重新定位房子的外观，同时整合新的汽车法院和主要结构。新入口的几何形状被挤压成主要形式，在一楼组织厨房，在二楼组织主浴室。在主平面上，木地板转化为天花板表面。在主浴室里，一条奇特的木带折叠起来，形成了一个像温泉一样的潮湿地带。新的主套房位于邻近的房屋之上，包括一个私人庭院露台。部分高度的隐私墙在掩蔽相邻的屋顶时创造了亲密关系，只留下远处成熟树冠的景致。

One’s experience is choreographed through a sequence of private courtyards and interior zones. A series of site walls with varying levels of opacity organize pathways, linking the exterior rooms and providing access throughout the plan. Composed with its own courtyard, the new entry and vertical circulation component reorients the house’s façade while integrating the new motor court with the main structure. The geometry of the new entry is extruded into the main form to organize the kitchen on the first floor and master bath on the second floor. On the main level, the wood floor transforms into the ceiling surface. And in the master bath an exotic wood ribbon folds up and over itself, defining a spa-like wet zone. Sitting above the neighboring houses, the new master suite includes a private courtyard terrace. A partial height privacy wall creates intimacy while masking the adjacent rooftops, leaving only views to the mature tree canopies beyond.
