Klopf Architecture in collaboration with Envision Landscape Studio have completed this mid-century modern house in Lafayette, California, USA. The owners of this property had been away from the Bay Area for many years, and looked forward to returning to an elegant mid-century modern house. The one they bought was anything but that. Faced with a “remuddled” kitchen from one decade, a haphazard bedroom / family room addition from another, and an otherwise disjointed and generally run-down mid-century modern house, the owners asked Klopf Architecture and Envision Landscape Studio to re-imagine this house and property as a unified, flowing, sophisticated, warm, modern indoor / outdoor living space for a family of five.

克洛普夫建筑与Envision景观工作室合作，在美国加利福尼亚州拉斐特完成了这座世纪中叶的现代住宅。这套房子的业主已经离开海湾地区很多年了，他们期待着回到一座优雅的世纪中叶的现代住宅。他们买的不是那个。面对十年来的“改造”厨房、另一间杂乱无章的卧室/家庭客房，以及一套不连贯、普遍破旧的世纪中叶现代住宅，业主们要求克洛普夫建筑公司(Klopf Architecture)和Envision景观工作室重新设想，这套房子和房产是一个统一、流畅、复杂、温暖、现代的室内/室外生活空间，供五口之家居住。

Opening up the spaces internally and from inside to out was the first order of business. The formerly disjointed eat-in kitchen with 7 foot high ceilings were opened up to the living room, re-oriented, and replaced with a spacious cook’s kitchen complete with a row of skylights bringing light into the space. Adjacent the living room wall was completely opened up with La Cantina folding door system, connecting the interior living space to a new wood deck that acts as a continuation of the wood floor. People can flow from kitchen to the living / dining room and the deck seamlessly, making the main entertainment space feel at once unified and complete, and at the same time open and limitless.

内部和从内到外开放空间是第一要务。原来不相连的厨房有7英尺高的天花板，被打开到起居室，重新定位，取而代之的是一个宽敞的厨房，里面有一排排的天窗，给空间带来了阳光。毗邻客厅的墙壁完全打开了拉坎蒂纳折叠门系统，将室内居住空间连接到一个新的木甲板上，作为木地板的延续。人们可以从厨房到客厅、餐厅和甲板无缝流动，使主娱乐空间感到既统一又完整，同时又开放无限。

Klopf opened up the bedroom with a large sliding panel, and turned what was once a large walk-in closet into an office area, again with a large sliding panel. The master bathroom has high windows all along one wall to bring in light, and a large wet room area for the shower and tub. The dark, solid roof structure over the patio was replaced with an open trellis that allows plenty of light, brightening the new deck area as well as the interior of the house.

克洛普夫用一个大的滑动板打开卧室，把曾经是一个大的步入式壁橱变成一个办公区域，再一次用一个大的滑动板。主浴室沿一面墙都有很高的窗户来照明，还有一个大面积的淋浴房和浴缸。天井上漆黑、坚固的屋顶结构被一个开放的格子所取代，它允许充足的光线，照亮新的甲板区域以及房子的内部。

All the materials of the house were replaced, apart from the framing and the ceiling boards. This allowed Klopf to unify the materials from space to space, running the same wood flooring throughout, using the same paint colors, and generally creating a consistent look from room to room. Located in Lafayette, CA this remodeled single-family house is 3,363 square foot, 4 bedroom, and 3.5 bathroom.

除了框架和天花板外，房子的所有材料都被更换了。这使得克洛普夫能够把材料从一个空间统一到另一个空间，在整个木地板上运行着相同的地板，使用相同的油漆颜色，并且通常从一个房间到另一个房间创建一个一致的外观。位于加利福尼亚州拉法耶特，这所改造过的单人住宅面积为3 363平方英尺，4间卧室，3.5间浴室。
