This renovation of a private residence on a wooded, exurban site near Iowa City, Iowa draws upon the imbedded formal logic of the original structure to create a contemporary home for a family of four. The original home was built in the 1980’s and contained some tall, day-lit volumes. It was worn and tired, however, and needed attention. The owners had lived in the house for eight years prior to the renovation, allowing them to clearly access many of the home’s strengths and challenges. They loved the home’s location and setting, but wanted a more open interior and a better sense of entry. In addition, they hoped to improve the visual connection to the wooded site, and create additional space for entertaining in and around the house. Finally, they desired a more contemporary expression.

这是在爱荷华州爱荷华市附近一处树木茂密的城外遗址上对私人住宅的改造，利用原有结构的固有形式逻辑，为一个四口之家创造了一个当代的家。最初的房子建于20世纪80年代，里面有一些高耸的白天照明的书籍.然而，它又累又旧，需要注意。房主在装修前已经在房子里住了八年，这样他们就可以清楚地接触到房子的许多优点和挑战。他们喜欢家的位置和环境，但想要一个更开放的内部和更好的进入感。此外，他们希望改善与森林网站的视觉联系，并创造更多的空间，以娱乐的房子和周围。最后，他们想要一个更现代的表达方式。

To accomplish these goals the organization of the existing home was analyzed to identify an underlying formal logic that might be clarified and leveraged in the renovation. This analysis suggested a massing strategy in which a simple gabled volume was “sliced” into three sections. These sections were, in turn, offset from one another to create a stepped façade facing the woods. This simple strategy was compromised at the entry and garage rendering it virtually illegible. In addition, many of the interior volumes, while lofty, were subdivided with partitions creating a warren of rooms rather than open, flowing spaces.

为了实现这些目标，对现有住宅的组织进行了分析，以确定在翻修过程中可能得到澄清和利用的基本形式逻辑。这一分析提出了一种集中策略，其中一个简单的门窗卷被“切分”成三个部分。反过来，这些部分又互相抵消，形成了一个面向森林的阶梯式立面。这个简单的策略在入口和车库被破坏，使它几乎难以辨认。此外，许多室内空间，虽然很高，但被细分为隔间，创造了一个房间，而不是开放的，流动的空间。

The renovation drew upon this original organization. The three “slices” (eating, living, sleeping) implicit in the existing home were reinforced. The angled wall at the entry was straightened and realigned to clarify the plan. Interior partitions separating the dining space from the kitchen and living spaces were removed to create large, open volumes. The stair was relocated to open up the living area, and the thresholds between slices were delineated. Wall–to-wall operable openings were placed at the ends of the “slices” to connect the airy, day-lit interior to the wooded site and enhance the sense of entry from the street. Finally, a large deck was created to unify the rear elevation and provide space for exterior entertaining.

翻修是以原来的组织为基础的。现有家庭中隐含的三个“切片”(饮食、生活、睡眠)得到了加强。入口处的斜墙被拉直并重新排列，以澄清计划。将餐厅空间与厨房和生活空间分开的内部隔板被移除，以创造出大而开放的空间。楼梯被重新安置以打开生活区，并划定了切片之间的阈值。墙对墙可操作的开口被放置在“切片”的末端，以连接通风，白天照明的室内和树木的网站，并加强从街道进入的感觉。最后，创造了一个大甲板，以统一后的高度和提供空间的外部娱乐。

While the renovation added less than 300 square feet to the home, the visual impact is immense. The results leverage the existing organization to create clear, open, and interconnected volumes with carefully designed objects placed inside. A limited material palette was used throughout to further unify the home. New fenestration connects the owners to the wooded site, as well as providing a more welcoming entry, and the new deck allows the interior to spill out into the woods. The result is a thorough transformation that takes full advantage of the home’s site, interior volume, and daylight to create a modern contemporary home.

虽然装修给房子增加的面积不足300平方英尺，但其视觉效果却是巨大的。结果利用现有组织创建了清晰、开放和相互关联的卷，并在其中放置了精心设计的对象。一个有限的材料调色板一直被使用，以进一步统一家庭。新的开窗连接业主与树木的地点，以及提供一个更受欢迎的入口，新的甲板允许内部溢出到树林。其结果是一个彻底的转变，充分利用家园的网站，内部音量，和日光，以创造一个现代的当代家园。
