Lyon Park, in Arlington, Virginia is an “urban village” near Washington, DC. Most of the houses in this established neighborhood were constructed in the 1920’s and 1930’s. The houses vary in style, ranging from small single-story bungalows to larger wood and brick colonial revivalist houses. Streets are tree lined and the topography is gently rolling. After living in their house for about seven years, a young family of four hoped to transform their colonial house to better fit their lifestyle. A series of small but cozy rooms failed to connect with each other and to the deep, sloping landscaped backyard. Excluding the basement, the existing house comprised less than fourteen hundred square feet, with two bedrooms and only one full bathroom.

位于弗吉尼亚州阿灵顿的里昂公园是华盛顿特区附近的一个“城市村”。这个老牌街区的大多数房屋是在20世纪20年代和30年代建造的，风格各异，从小的单层平房到更大的木头和砖块殖民复兴主义的房屋。街道长满了树木，地形也在轻轻起伏。在他们家住了大约七年之后，一个年轻的四口之家希望改变他们殖民时期的房子，以更好地适应他们的生活方式。一系列小而舒适的房间无法彼此连接，也无法连接到深而倾斜的庭院。不包括地下室，现有的房子面积不足1400平方英尺，有两间卧室，只有一间完整的浴室。

Ideally, the transformation would retain the “sense of home” while providing spaces open to each other, additional bedrooms and a better connection to the landscaped site. A building that avoided stylistic mimicry with modern light filled spaces was desired. Sustainable construction techniques and the use of environmentally sensitive materials were expected.

理想的情况是，这种改造将保留“家的感觉”，同时提供彼此开放的空间、更多的卧室和更好的与景观场所的连接。一座建筑，避免风格模仿与现代轻填充空间是可取的。预计将采用可持续的建筑技术和使用对环境敏感的材料。

The budget for this project was moderate. The result is a modest, restrained and compact modern renovation project that respects the scale and rhythm of the street. The project combines three small additions, totaling two hundred fifty square feet with a complete reconfiguration of the existing spaces. The existing second floor exterior walls and roof were removed and rebuilt to provide spaces on the second floor with high ceilings and light filled spaces. On the main level, floor to ceiling windows allow expansive views to the backyard, while large windows on the street side insure a connection to the neighborhood. The previously dark and compartmentalized house is now open and flooded with light.

这个项目的预算是适度的。结果是一个尊重街道规模和节奏的适度、约束和紧凑的现代改造项目。该项目包括三个小的增加，总共二百五十平方英尺与现有空间的完全重新配置。现有的二楼外墙和屋顶被拆除和重建，为二楼提供高天花板和轻填充空间。在主平面上，从地板到天花板的窗户可以看到后院的开阔视野，而街道边的大窗户则确保了与邻里的连接。这座原本漆黑隔间的房子现在已经打开，充满了光线。

The FSC-certified wood siding, combined with gray stucco and charcoal fiber cement panels provide a quiet, warm exterior that recedes into the tree lined streetscape. The compact massing with simple fenestration is organized to respect the scale of adjacent houses. A rain screen system is employed to provide a ventilated envelope.

FSC认证的木质墙板，结合灰色灰泥和木炭纤维水泥面板，提供了一个安静的，温暖的外观，退到树内衬的街景。紧凑的聚集与简单的开窗是组织起来，以尊重相邻房屋的规模。采用雨屏系统来提供通风的信封。

Windows with high level efficiency ratings provide transparency and light transmission without compromising the performance of the envelope. Ultimately this is a modest project with a moderate budget. Although this project is very small on many levels, the impact on the lives of this family of four is substantial.

具有高效率等级的窗口提供透明和光传输，而不影响信封的性能。最终，这是一个预算适中的适度项目。虽然这个项目在许多层面上都很小，但对这个四口之家的生活产生了重大影响。
