位于加州布伦特伍德的一处旗帜地段上，Kearsarge住宅有着独特的特色，它是一座城市内的森林。建造一座历史悠久的建筑住宅面临的挑战是一套独特的选择。这些选择产生于质疑什么使房子重要，以及哪些元素值得保留，什么可以改变，以使房子舒适和宜居的未来几年。

Located on a flag lot in Brentwood, California, the site for the Kearsarge Residence has a unique character as a forest within the city.  The challenges of working on a historic architectural home is one filled with a unique set of choices. These choices arise from questioning what makes the house important as well as what elements deserve to be preserved and what can be changed to make the house comfortable and livable for years to come.

我们今天的生活方式不是我们45年前的生活方式，我们从现在起的45年后的生活方式也会有所不同。目标是尊重乔治埃斯库的工作，恢复房子的真实性质，在适当的情况下，以及更新的房子，以符合原来的设计精神。

We don’t live today the way we lived forty five years ago and we will live differently forty five years from now. The goal was to honor Georgescu’s work by restoring the house to it’s true character  where appropriate as well as updating the house in keeping with the original design spirit.

经过几十年的磨损和后来业主的改造，我们开始对房子进行改造。例如，格奥尔盖斯库的作品所特有的开阔视线被一名业主打断，关闭办公室墙壁，以创造一间额外的卧室。最初的任务之一是打开这堵墙，让它回到原来的意图，因此在三个层次之间有相互作用：办公室、阁楼和起居室。

We began working on the house after decades of wear and tear as well as modifications by subsequent owners. For example, the open sight lines that are characteristic of Georgescu’s work was interrupted by an owner closing off of the office wall to create an additional bedroom. One of the first tasks was opening up this wall back to it’s original intent, so there is interaction between three levels: The Office, Loft and Living Room.

该项目的一个主要资产是与Rhino Construction Inc的设计-建造合作，这使得在建造过程中能够灵活和修改，因为当我们打开墙壁和地板时，房子的历史开始显现出来。能够适应新的发现，同时保持对高水平的工艺水平的承诺，这是家庭应得的，成为不可或缺的。当我们在建筑过程中开始剥离现有建筑的各个层时，我们发现主空间的天花板上有一种深蓝灰色的色调，只是涂上了白色。随着更多元素的发现，原来的建筑师决定把这个彩色的天花板从起居室延伸到室外，当站在空间里的时候，创造出室内-室外的效果。

A major asset to the project was the design-build collaboration with Rhino Construction Inc, which allowed for flexibility and modification during the construction process as the history of the house began to reveal itself  when we opened up walls and floors. The ability to adapt to new discoveries while maintaining a commitment to the high level of craftsmanship that the home deserved, became indispensable. As we began to peel back layers of the existing building during construction, we discovered that the ceiling of the main space had a rich blue-grey tone that was simply painted over in white. With the uncovering of more elements, it was determined that the original architect extended this colored ceiling from from the Living Room to the the outdoor soffits, creating an indoor-outdoor effect when standing in the space.

从原来的橱柜中提取线索，所有的案件都是用红木重新创造出来的。餐厅橱柜恢复到原来的细节，而大多数其他地区使用更现代的细节，但在同一语言的原始设计。在整个过程中，我们不断地问自己，“乔治斯库今天会做什么？”捡起原来的白橡树，用在楼梯上，这成了自始至终使用的物种。新的木地板取代了大面积的紫色地毯和格子油毡。

Taking cues from the the original cabinetry, all casework was re-created in mahogany wood. The Dining Room Cabinetry was restored to the original details while most other areas used more modern detailing, but within the same language as the original design. Throughout the process we were constantly asking ourselves “What would Georgescu do today?”  Picking up on the original white oak used on the stair treads, this became the species of choice used throughout. The new wood floors replaced large expanses of purple carpet and checkered linoleum.

在外部，损坏的木甲板被ipe木取代，木栏杆和金属网被钢柱和缆绳系统所取代。在ipe护栏帽下，LED绳索灯为晚上和晚上的娱乐提供一个愉快的灯光甲板。

On outside, a deteriorated wood decking was replaced with ipe wood while the wood railing posts and metal mesh was replaced with steel posts and a cable rail system. Under the ipe guardrail cap, an LED rope light gives a pleasant glow to the deck for evening and night time entertaining.
