架构师提供的文本描述。Metcalfe体系结构

Text description provided by the architects. Metcalfe Architecture & Design recently completed the renovation of the Seidenberg House in Lafayette Hill, Pennsylvania, USA. This previously restored mid-century modern kit house (fig. 1) takes full advantage of its pristine location in the lush woodlands of Southeastern Pennsylvania (fig. 2). We pushed the upper level of this structure into the treetops, transforming it into a house in the sky, with an expanded second-floor living space and entry (fig. 3), and renovated kitchen, living areas and bathrooms.

我们重新配置了小的，现有的入口，进入一个天际两层的入口大厅，穿过第二层的玻璃人行桥(图)。4)这个大厅现在逐渐进入更开放的厨房(无花果)。5)、餐位和起居空间(图1)。6)厨房的新窗户(无花果)5)就餐区提供室外全景。

We reconfigured the small, existing entrance into a skylittwo story entry hall, crossed by a glass footbridge on the second story (fig. 4). This hall now leads into progressively more open kitchen (fig. 5), dining and living spaces (fig. 6). New windows in the kitchen (fig. 5) and dining area provide panoramic views of the outdoors.

第二层主卧室(无花果。7，7A)和浴缸加成(图1)。8)在树梢上成了一片宽敞的、光线充足的绿洲。凭借着令人惊叹的周围景观，我们创造了一个漂浮在卧室屋顶的外观，使用的是牧师的窗户(无花果图)。和8英尺高的玻璃门，打开套房的悬臂阳台(图)。7)钢制和钢化玻璃(无花果)10)由当地工匠建造的人行桥，将主卧室和浴室与房子的其余部分连接起来。

The second story master bedroom (fig. 7, 7A) and bath addition (fig. 8) became a spacious, light- filled oasis in the treetops. With stunning views of the surrounding landscape, we created the appearance of a floating roof in the bedroom, using clerestory windows (fig. 9) and eight foot tall glass doors that open onto the suite’s cantilevered balcony (fig. 7). The steel and tempered glass (fig. 10) footbridge, fabricated by a local artisan, links the master bedroom and bath to the rest of the house.
