架构师提供的文本描述。这所房子已经在市场上卖了几年了，卖得很短。空间建筑规划公司的客户，寻找一个有足够空间给孩子们的家庭住宅，爱上了它和它的异乎寻常的大院子和停车场(芝加哥)。这一里程碑提出了几个挑战，其中最少的是过时的内部和规划不良的居住空间。

Text description provided by the architects. This house had been sitting on the market for a few years, in short sale. SPACE Architecture + Planning's clients, looking for a family home with plenty of room for the kids, fell in love with it and its unusually large yard and lot (for Chicago). This landmark presented several challenges, least of which was the outdated interior and poorly planned living spaces.

所有系统都进行了更新，在房子后面增加了一个现代化的附加部分，以更新居住布局，为这个更大的家庭(4个孩子！)创建了一个家庭房间/厨房/泥泞的房间和早餐区。增加提供了一个机会，增加了二楼甲板，创造了一个非常诱人的甲板在家庭办公室为我们的客户。所有内饰都被更换和重新设计。

All systems were updated, a modern addition was added to the rear of the house, to update the living layout, creating a family room/kitchen/mudroom and breakfast area for this larger family (4 kids!). The addition provide the opportunity to add a deck off the second floor, creating a very inviting deck off the home office for our client. All of the interior finishes were replaced and redesigned.

二楼主套房被重新设计，为房主提供了一个更加和平的静修场所。三楼是专门为孩子们服务的，包括一个新的第二层-原来的房子只有从顶层出去的途径，这不符合规定。

The second floor master suite was redesigned to provide a much more peaceful retreat for the homeowners. The third floor was devoted to the kids, including a new second stair – the original house only had means of egress from the top floor, which did not meet code.

院子里有一个新的4车库，为孩子们在新的运动场上玩耍提供了一个安全的地方。太空建筑规划公司认为他们实现了把这座房子变成一个家的目标。

The yard was enclosed with a new 4 car garage, providing a safe area for the kids to play on the new sport court. SPACE Architecture + Planning feel they achieved their goal of turning this house into a home.
