该项目的简要说明是增加一个新的地板，一个现有的1950年的分裂层住宅，这是最初由一名建筑师设计的。然而，由于一些不可预见的情况，必须拆除现有的房屋。因此，建筑都是新的，设计保留了旧的暗示。

The project brief was to add a new floor to an existing 1950’s split level home, which was originally designed by an architect.  However, due to some unforeseen conditions, the existing house had to be removed.  So the construction is all new, and the design retains hints of the old.

现有的房子对家庭来说太小了，所以增加了一层新的地板，里面有一间主卧室、一间套房、一间办公室和一层甲板。新的上层建筑悬臂在两个方向，并称赞下(原)悬臂部分的房子。(鼓掌)

The existing house was too small for the family, so a new floor was added containing a master bedroom, ensuite, office and deck.  The new upper floor cantilevers in two directions, and compliments the lower (original) cantilevered portion of the house.

为了软化房屋的坚固几何形状，在所有的表面都使用了清澈的雪松壁板，以提供构造物的比例和温暖。每个立方体的内面内衬青石，以提供对比。

To soften the strong geometry of the house, clear stained cedar siding was used on all surfaces to give the composition scale and warmth.  The inner face of each cube is lined with bluestone to provide contrast.

与实际大小相比，这座房子感觉非常宽敞。整个房子都使用了三层天花板高度，形成了体积和开放感。精心布置的窗户可以用光线清洗墙壁，并控制视野。

The house feels very spacious in relation to its actual size.  There are three ceiling heights used throughout the house which create volume and a sense of openness.  Careful window placement allows walls to be washed with light and views to be controlled.

室内材料调色板非常简单-白色墙壁，裂缝切割橡木橱柜，和青石地板(和露台)。蓝石也是一个包层材料周围的车库底部和前端的“箱子”。

The interior material palette is very simple - white walls, rift cut oak cabinetry, and bluestone floors (and patios).  Bluestone is also featured as a cladding material around the base of the garage and at the insets of the front “boxes”.
