The Somerville House Renovation started with a dark, 3 story single family home with great potential. The design intent was to maintain the original character of the 1860’s façade on the street, and yet open to the small urban garden and southern light offered by the back façade. The combined living-dining-kitchen space created by the renovation forms a large L-shaped room that nestles like a puzzle piece into the resultant L-shaped garden. An undulating ribbon of glass negotiates the dialog of house and garden, allowing light, views of the garden, and airflow to conceptually and perceptively link the house and garden as one.

萨默维尔豪宅的装修始于一个黑暗的、3层的独居家庭，有着巨大的潜力。其设计意图是保持1860年代街道外观的原始特征，同时也向城市小花园和后立面提供的南光开放。装修所创造的混合生活-餐饮-厨房空间形成了一个大型L形房间，就像一个拼图块，形成了L字形花园。一个起伏的玻璃带协商房子和花园的对话，允许光，花园的看法，和气流在概念上和知觉地将房子和花园联系在一起。

The double-height south-facing façade of glass enables a passive solar strategy that, with hot water radiant floors holding the sun’s energy, create a stack-effect where warm air rises and disperses throughout the house. PV panels and solar thermal heating on the roof provide the home with all of its hot water and 50% of its electricity. An existing sycamore tree shades the double-height glass in the summer, and allows light and warmth into the house in the winter when the leaves have dropped. Cross-ventilation is created between the high and low windows, propelled by ceiling fans. A strip of mirror placed horizontally at the living room edge playfully throws the southern light onto the ceiling deep into the space. The renovation on the 2nd and 3rd floors involved the creation of five small bedrooms and three baths for the family of six.

双层向南的玻璃立面使得被动太阳能策略成为可能，热水辐射地板承载着太阳的能量，产生了一种叠加效应，温暖的空气在整个房子里上升并散开。太阳能电池板和屋顶上的太阳能热供暖为家庭提供了所有的热水和50%的电力。在夏天，一棵现存的梧桐树遮住了双层玻璃，冬天树叶掉落时，光线和暖气进入了房子。交叉通风是在高窗户和低窗户之间创建的，由吊扇推动。一条镜子横放在客厅的边缘，好玩地将南光投射到天花板的深处。第二层和第三层的翻修涉及为六口之家建造五间小卧室和三间浴室。

As much of the existing walls, floors, doors and trim as possible were maintained or salvaged and reused. The newly introduced palette of white washed maple, whitewashed oak and carrara marble harmonizes beautifully with the existing and salvaged material, which was also whitewashed to blend old and new together. Maple floor to ceiling sliding doors ring the living space, which can be completely opened up to the outdoors. The result is a clean, calm, quiet and light filled home, right in the middle of the city.

尽可能多地维护或打捞和重复使用现有的墙壁、地板、门和装饰。新推出的调色板的白色洗枫树，白橡木和卡拉拉大理石和谐的现有和打捞材料，这也是白色的融合旧和新的一起。枫木地板到天花板滑门环住的空间，可以完全开放到户外。结果是一个干净，平静，安静，充满光明的家，就在城市的中心。

The off pink walls and casework of the interior and exterior of the house are a nod to the existing large smoketree in the small urban yard which blooms from April to October with blush pink flowers.

房子内部和外部的粉红墙和盒子是对城市小院子里现存的大烟草树的一种认可，这棵树在四月到十月期间盛开，盛开着粉红色的花朵。
