From the architects: The farmhouse retreat for an urban developer integrates minimalist elements into a modest 1850’s farmhouse. Over the years, well-intentioned accretions—ornamental dormers, an incongruous addition, and a cavernous porch—had cloaked the house in a dog’s dinner. Demolishing these elements yields tailored alterations that sympathetically update the house for modern use. A weathered steel fence demarcates the property, its encircled lawn providing a sanctuary of stone paths and shade trees. Although housing developments have replaced the fields beyond, the homestead still strikes a commanding air.

来自建筑师：一个城市开发商的农舍务虚会将极简主义的元素融入了一个朴素的1850年的农舍中。这些年来，善意的吸积-装饰性的被窝，不协调的附加物，以及一个洞穴状的门廊-在一顿狗的晚餐中把房子遮住了。拆除这些元素产生量身定做的改动，同情地更新房屋以供现代使用。一个风化的钢丝网划定了财产，它环绕的草坪提供了一个庇护的石头小径和树荫树。尽管住宅开发已经取代了其他领域，但宅基地仍令人望而却步。

The retreat’s modest exterior belies the spaciousness of the main floor. Masonry and timber are left exposed, while new surfaces receive variations of white. Details are minimized to let wood, brick, steel, and light converse. A remnant of the original masonry fireplace anchors the composition, skirted by a suspended steel stair. The stair provides access to the bedroom suite above, tucked within existing roof geometries. Fully-glazed dormers provide essential headroom, bathing the attic in light and framing views of trees and sky. The intimate suite includes a bedroom, bathroom, and laundry/closet.

撤退的朴素外表掩盖了主楼层的宽敞。砖石和木材暴露，而新的表面接受变化的白色。细节被最小化，让木材，砖块，钢，和轻的交谈。残余的原始砖石壁炉锚定组成，围绕在一个悬空的钢楼梯。楼梯提供通往楼上卧室套房的通道，该套房位于现有的屋顶几何图形内。全玻璃的睡者提供了必要的空间，沐浴在光的阁楼和框架的树木和天空的看法。亲密的套房包括卧室、浴室和洗衣/衣柜。

The farmhouse retreat presents an understated choreography of new and old. It expresses deep respect for the humble old farmhouse without delving into nostalgia, reveling in the rural past, or fetishizing fixtures and finishes. Closed cell foam insulates the roof and wall; a closed-loop, a horizontally-bored geothermal system provides climate control; and an 8.4 KW photovoltaic array powers the mechanical system, LED lighting, and EnergyStar appliances. The result is a comfortably stylish upgrade, assertively and unselfconsciously modern.

农舍务虚会呈现了一个新的和旧的低调的编舞。它表达了对简陋的老农舍的深深的敬意，而不去钻研怀旧，陶醉于乡村的过去，或崇拜固定物和结束。封闭电池泡沫隔离屋顶和墙壁；闭环，水平钻孔地热系统提供气候控制；8.4千瓦光伏阵列驱动机械系统，LED照明和能源之星电器。其结果是舒适时尚的升级，自信和无意识的现代。
