The owners of this 11 foot wide row Brooklyn house were faced with a conundrum that many young families in New York eventually confront: the possibility of sacrificing location for space. After living in the house for eight years, the pair – architect/Yale critic Aniket Shahane and jewelry designer Blanca Monros Gomez – chose to expand in order to make room for their two growing children and remain in the Brooklyn neighborhood they had come to admire.

这座11英尺宽的布鲁克林房子的主人们面临着纽约许多年轻家庭最终面临的难题：牺牲位置换取空间的可能性。在这栋房子里住了八年之后，这对夫妇-建筑师/耶鲁评论家阿尼基特·沙哈尼(Aniket Shahane)和珠宝设计师布兰卡·蒙罗斯·戈麦斯(Blanca蒙罗斯·戈麦斯)-选择扩张，以便为他们两个成长中的孩子腾出空间，并留在他们所

The original two-story, 1000SF home was completely gutted and extended to 4 levels by adding a bedroom suite above and digging a new urban mudroom below. The narrowness of the house required the design to make effective yet frugal use of space; every inch was important.

原来的两层，1000 SF的家被完全摧毁和延伸到4层，通过在上面增加一个卧室套房和挖掘一个新的城市泥泞的房间下面。房子的狭小要求设计使空间得到有效而节俭的利用；每一寸都是重要的。

Precise positioning of walls, doors, and windows was crucial as each floor was planned to serve a purpose. The lowest level serves as a new entry, storage, laundry, and mechanical area; the first floor is a continuous public space with living, dining, kitchen, and library opening to gardens in the front and back; the second contains two kids’ bedrooms along with a 2-sink bathroom; while the topmost level holds the master suite with a sleeping area, bathroom, balcony, and terrace.

墙壁、门和窗户的精确定位是至关重要的，因为每一层楼都是为了达到某种目的而规划的。最低层是一个新的入口、储藏室、洗衣房和机械区；一楼是一个连续的公共空间，有起居、就餐、厨房和图书馆，前后向花园开放；第二层包括两个孩子的卧室和一个两个水槽浴室；而最顶层的是主套房，有一个睡眠区、浴室、阳台和露台。

A slender steel stair repositioned on the south side party wall connects the house vertically and draws more light, air, and views into the building. Materials throughout the home are modest, natural, and unassuming: the rawness of black painted brick, unfinished steel and character-grade walnut is juxtaposed with the simple refinement of honed Carrara marble and matte ceramic hex tiles.

位于南侧联排墙上的一个细长的钢楼梯垂直连接房屋，并吸引更多的光线、空气和视野进入建筑物。整个家庭的材料都是朴实无华的，自然的，谦逊的：黑色油漆砖，未完成的钢和性格等级的核桃的稀薄与磨练的卡拉拉大理石和磨光的陶瓷六角瓷砖的简单精致并置在一起。

The result is a home that is not just larger, but livelier – filled with the possibility to do more and stay longer in a city that requires its residents to be resourceful and inventive.

其结果是一个不仅更大，而且更生动的家-充满了做更多事情和在一个要求其居民足智多谋和富有创造力的城市中停留更长时间的可能性。
