架构师提供的文本描述。位于马里兰州雪佛兰大通，这个项目涉及到一个完整的翻新和大量增加一个熟悉的，简单的砖块“殖民地”。原来的，山墙形状的体积，面对街道是最小的改变，以努力保持规模和周围的房屋聚集。高大的窗户被纳入现有的外墙。一个铜包层，拱形的体积是与新的前门廊和宽楼梯的组合，唤起了怀旧的门廊发现在整个社区。

Text description provided by the architects. Located in Chevy Chase, Maryland, this project involves a complete renovation and substantial addition to a familiar, simply massed brick “colonial”. The original, gable shaped volume fronting the street is minimally altered in an effort to retain the scale and massing of neighboring houses. Tall windows are incorporated into the existing façade. A copper clad, vaulted volume is integrated into the composition with a new front porch and wide stairs, invoking the nostalgic porches found throughout the neighborhood.

为了减少街道上的拥挤，房子后面增加了大部分新的空间。居住空间被搬迁到物业的“花园”一侧，远离街道。

To reduce the massing as seen from the street, the majority of new space is added to the back of the house. Living spaces are relocated to the “garden” side of the property, away from the street.

一个新的露台和严格设计的景观元素，包括人行道，墙壁和植物成为设计的组成部分。花园结构，由干燥堆叠的石头，桃花心木，钢和铜屋顶锚定组成，并提供隐私的毗邻物业。整个地段都被纳入了这个项目的设计中。

A new terrace and rigorously designed landscape elements, including walkways, walls and plantings become an integral part of the design. A garden structure, constructed of dry-stacked stone, mahogany, steel and copper roofing anchors the composition and provides privacy from adjoining properties. The entirety of the lot is incorporated into the design of this project.

轻盈的内饰是有序的，开放的，简洁的细节和最小的，同时保持丰富和温暖。四分之一锯白橡木橱柜和磨坊，深色的橡木地板，和桃花心木屏风与钙华石，黑色花岗岩和石灰石组成的材料调色板。家具的选择要与装饰和空间构成相协调。

The light filled interiors are ordered and open, crisply detailed and minimal while retaining richness and warmth. Quarter-sawn white oak cabinetry and millwork, dark stained oak flooring, and mahogany screens are combined with travertine, black granite and limestone to comprise the majority of the material palette. Furnishings are selected to be harmonious with finishes and spatial composition.

如今，太多的房屋立即被丢弃和拆除，取而代之的是膨胀的、详细的、严重聚集的建筑，这些建筑淹没了他们的地盘。该项目展示了一种尝试，试图以保留大量现有建筑结构和大量场地以融入景观和花园的方式，提供当前生活方式所需的空间需求。

Today, too many houses are immediately discarded and demolished in favor of inflated, poorly detailed, badly massed structures that overwhelm their sites. This project demonstrates an attempt to provide the spatial requirements desired for a current lifestyle in a manner that retains much of the existing building fabric and a significant amount of the site to incorporate landscape and garden.
