Description by CWB Architects: This rowhouse was one of two commissions on a single zoning parcel encompassing the end of a block between Strong Place and Henry Street in the Cobble Hill Historic District. We were first hired to design four rowhouses for a developer who was dedicated to upholding the traditional aesthetic of the neighborhood. Though Cobble Hill remains the most intact 19th century neighborhood in New York City, the clients for this second commission were a family wanting a more modern residence. As the end house on the block, our challenge was to design this fifth building to contribute to, and be integral with, the historic neighborhood fabric while exhibiting modern aesthetics on its three visible facades. We accomplished this in two principle ways.

由CWB建筑师描述：这是两个委员会之一，在一个单一的分区包裹，包括一个街区之间的强大的地方和亨利街之间的科布尔山历史街区。我们第一次被雇来为一个致力于维护社区传统美学的开发商设计四个屋檐。尽管科布尔山仍然是纽约市最完整的19世纪社区，但第二个委员会的客户是一个想要更现代住宅的家庭。作为这座街区的终点站，我们面临的挑战是设计这座第五栋建筑，以贡献历史街区的结构，并与之整合，同时在它的三个可见外观上展示现代美学。我们以两种原则方式完成了这一工作。

The interior plan arrangements, the Cobble Hill Row House section, and the staircase configuration are modern in their design. Our intent was to allow the major communal areas of the home to overlap both vertically and horizontally. Double-height space is unique in townhouses, but it is employed here to vertically connect rooms on the garden and parlor floors,and to horizontally increase the visual connection of both floors to the rear garden. The design of the main stair funnels light from a roof top skylight down through the house’s five stories and celebrates the mundane act of vertical circulation so integral to life in a townhouse. Fully open from top to bottom, it connects the home’s garden, family room and kitchen to a top floor TV room with views of New York Harbor and downtown Manhattan.

室内规划安排，科布勒山庄大厦部分，以及楼梯结构，在他们的设计是现代的。我们的意图是允许房屋的主要公共区域在垂直和水平上重叠。双高空间在联排别墅中是独一无二的，但它在这里被用于垂直连接花园和客厅地板上的房间，并水平地增加两层与后花园的视觉连接。主楼梯漏斗的设计从屋顶的天窗穿过房子的五层，庆祝平淡的垂直循环行为，这是联排别墅生活中不可或缺的一部分。它自上而下完全开放，将家庭花园、家庭房间和厨房与顶层电视房连接起来，可欣赏到纽约港和曼哈顿市中心的景色。

On the exterior, we manipulated the massing and detailing of the façades such that their traditional design belies the modern volumes within. We also tweaked exterior details to reflect a more modern sensibility. The oversized central projection on the Kane Street façade serves to maximize the footprint of the building on its irregularly shaped lot, and to conceal the brick control joints. The rear bay and the oriel window are steel and glass – taut and more transparent than those typically seen on a traditional project. The exterior finishes, basic fenestration, and general massing work together with the modern design elements to complete an elegant statement rooted in a deep knowledge of the local vernacular and the neighborhood’s scale and materiality.

在外观上，我们操纵了外观的聚集和细节，使它们的传统设计掩盖了内部的现代体积。我们还调整了外观细节，以反映更现代的情感。凯恩街正面的超大中央投影，最大限度地扩大了建筑在不规则形状地段的足迹，并隐藏了砖块控制缝。后舱和前窗是钢制和玻璃紧绷的，比传统的工程更透明。外部装饰，基本的开窗，和一般的集合工作，结合现代设计元素，完成一个优雅的陈述，根植于深入了解当地的方言和邻里的规模和物质性。
