Richmond, Virginia is a city of orderly row houses and an historic urban context as rich as Charleston, Georgetown, or Philadelphia. It is rare to happen upon a vacant urban lot, and even rarer that it be in a designated Historic District. We have designed a decidedly modernist urban Row House in Richmond’s historic Jackson Ward neighborhood for a client from Atlanta.

弗吉尼亚州里士满是一座排列有序的城市，历史悠久的城市环境与查尔斯顿、乔治敦或费城一样丰富。这是很少发生在空置的城市地段，甚至更罕见的是，它是在一个指定的历史街区。我们在里士满历史悠久的杰克逊区为亚特兰大的一位客户设计了一个绝对现代化的城市排屋。

It is a place of tall narrow houses with front porches, cast iron balustrades, bay windows, and intricate brick cornices. The design is born of this context but extends a lineage of tradition reinterpreted for this time and the client’s lifestyle. The result is a taut 20′x48′ rectangular box on three levels with a centrally located sky lit light-well inside that bathes the heart of the house with light. The light well bisects the plan and cross section front to back nearly symmetrically. Transparent glass bridges span across the vertical shaft of light and white walls.

这是一个高大狭窄的房子，前廊，铸铁栏杆，海湾窗户，和复杂的砖墙。设计是在这种背景下产生的，但它延续了传统的传承，对此和客户的生活方式进行了重新解释。结果是一个紧绷的20英尺x48‘长方形盒子在三层，中心位置的天空照明光-在里面，沐浴在房子的中心与光。轻型井几乎对称地平分平面图和横截面。透明的玻璃桥横跨光墙和白墙的竖井。

A projecting glass and metal window bay on the front facade was inspired by the bay windows that punctuate many of the historic houses on the street. Ground floor black steel and iron porch details, light brick, and a solid mahogany entry door complete the expression with a nod to its place in the city, but also its place in time.

一个突出的玻璃和金属窗台在前面的正面是灵感来自海湾的窗户，标点符号的许多历史房屋在街道上。底层黑色钢和铁门廊细节，轻砖，和一个坚实的桃花心木入口门完成了对其在城市的位置，但也在时间的位置完成的表情。

The design received unanimous approval by the Richmond Commission of Architectural Review. The guidelines are similar to the standards set by the Secretary of the Interior, in which new construction shall be clearly discernible from the historic, but relate in materials, massing, and form.

该设计获得里士满建筑审查委员会的一致批准。指南与内政部长制定的标准相似，其中新建筑应清楚地从历史上识别出来，但涉及材料、体量和形式。
