Two existing homes on one lot became the ideal canvas for bringing together multiple generations and tastes to create a serene family compound.

一片土地上现有的两座房子成为一个理想的画布，可以把几代人聚在一起，创造出一个宁静的家庭建筑群。

We transformed the larger home at the rear of the property to fit Ogawa Fisher Architects Principal Lynn Fisher’s family of four. The addition of three major volumes—an airy carport, a spacious entryway, and a kitchen/dining/family room space, all of which open to each other and to the private backyard—expanded living space and created a more immediate connection to the outdoors. By carefully repurposing the interior layout of the original house, the old and new volumes now flow into each other through a consistent treatment of modern details, expansive windows, and thoughtfully placed skylights. Movable components, such as pocket doors and a kitchen island on casters, allow the rooms to expand and contract, depending on the size of the family gathering. The result is a modern sanctuary, tucked away from the bustle of everyday life.

我们改造了大房子在后面的财产，以适应小川费舍尔建筑师，校长林恩费舍尔的四口之家。增加了三个主要的空间-一个通风的车库，一个宽敞的入口，以及一个厨房/餐厅/家庭室空间，所有这些空间都彼此开放，并向私人后院开放-扩大了居住空间，并创造了与户外更直接的联系。通过仔细地重新设计原来房子的内部布局，旧的和新的书籍现在通过对现代细节的一致处理、膨胀的窗户和深思熟虑的天窗而相互流动。可移动的组件，如口袋门和脚轮上的厨房岛，根据家庭聚会的规模，允许房间扩大和收缩。其结果是建立了一个现代的避难所，远离日常生活的喧嚣。

The smaller, street-facing home is one-fourth the size of Lynn’s parents’ former East Coast residence. Inspired by the challenge to provide ample storage while leaving plenty of room to age in place, we created an open plan around key heirloom furniture pieces and also designed new built-in furniture throughout the home. The interior is spare and bright, with abundant natural light throughout the open plan; the exterior is formal yet inviting to tie in with the neighborhood.

这座面积较小、面向街道的住宅面积是林恩父母前东海岸住宅面积的四分之一。受提供充足存储空间的挑战的启发，同时留出足够的空间，我们在关键的传家宝家具件周围创建了一个开放的计划，并在整个家庭设计了新的内置家具。室内是空旷明亮的，在整个开放的规划中都有丰富的自然光线；外观正式，但又有吸引力与邻里联系在一起。

Between the two homes, a lush courtyard invites family and friends to gather and enjoy each other’s company.

在两个家之间，一个郁郁葱葱的庭院邀请家人和朋友聚在一起，享受彼此的陪伴。
