The original 1940s house suffered an unfortunate addition in the 1980s. The backyard views were blocked by a heavy fireplace and small windows; meanwhile a fenced-in pool, brick terraces, and roofed arcade all served to divide rather than unify the landscape.

原来的1940年代的房子在1980年代遭受了不幸的增加。后院的景色被一座沉重的壁炉和小窗户挡住了；同时，一个围成栅栏的游泳池、砖砌的露台和有屋顶的拱廊都起到了分隔而不是统一景观的作用。

MRA’s goal was to restore the exterior of the house in this historic neighborhood while transforming the interiors to bring in light and provide a better connection with the exterior. A simple material palette was used to maintain a balance between the traditional aspects of the original house and the modern updates required by this family of four.

MRA的目标是恢复这一历史街区的房子的外观，同时改变内部以带来光明，并提供与外部更好的联系。一个简单的材料调色板被用来保持一个平衡的传统方面的原房子和现代更新需要这个四口之家。

The garage was renovated to include an upper level gym, guest alcove, and terrace. Below the terrace an outdoor living space activates a previously neglected yard. A Sol Lewitt sculpture, visible from the main rooms of the house, increases the depth of the yard and provides a crisp and geometric focal point.

车库进行了翻修，包括一个上层健身房、客人室和露台。在露台下面，一个室外的居住空间激活了一个先前被忽视的院子。一个索尔勒维特雕塑，从房子的主要房间可见，增加了院子的深度，并提供了一个清晰和几何焦点。

Upon first impression the original house felt very confined and dark inside, so an important factor in the re-design was to open up the house to let in more light. Being located in a historic neighborhood, the front facade of the house had to remain unchanged for the most part which left the rear elevation of the house open to change. Floor-to-ceiling windows replaced a fireplace and French doors in the rear-facing family room, operable windows opened up the kitchen to the backyard, and a large three-panel sliding glass door transformed the Den into an extension of the pool terrace.

第一印象，原来的房子感觉非常封闭和黑暗的内部，所以在重新设计的一个重要因素是打开房子，让更多的光线。由于位于历史街区，房子的正面大部分保持不变，这使得房子的后立面没有改变。从地板到天花板的窗户取代了壁炉和面向后的家庭房间的法式门，可操作的窗户打开了厨房和后院，一个大的三面板滑动玻璃门将Den变成了游泳池露台的延伸部分。

Providing entertainment areas in a private backyard was another important factor for the clients. The installation of three different patio spaces addresses this concern. The back yard patio immediately off of the main house provides a space for lounging by the pool and sunbathing, a side patio off the living room offers a fountain and a place for quiet reflection, while a covered patio behind the garage features an outdoor cooking area, fireplace and projection screen. The installation of a magnolia “hedge” in a bed of Mexican river rock lends privacy to the entire area.

在私人后院提供娱乐区是客户的另一个重要因素。安装三个不同的庭院空间解决了这个问题。紧靠主房子的后院露台提供了在游泳池和日光浴旁休息的空间，起居室旁边的露台提供喷泉和安静反射的地方，而车库后面有一个有盖的露台，有室外烹饪区、壁炉和投影屏幕。在墨西哥河床上安装厚朴的“树篱”，为整个地区提供了隐私。

Additionally, the clients wanted a home that would provide ample areas for exercise. Most of the second level of the garage is dedicated to a personal gym including a yoga wall and impressive views of the backyard. For exercising outdoors there is a deck located off of the gym, and the heated salt water lap pool is available year round.

此外，客户想要一个能提供足够的锻炼空间的家。车库的第二层大部分都是私人健身房，包括瑜伽墙和后院令人印象深刻的景色。在户外锻炼时，健身房外有一个甲板，并且全年都有加热的咸水膝上池可供使用。

Finally, it was important to maintain a balance between the traditional aspects of the original house design and the modern updates that the clients desired, as well as provide a clean backdrop for the clients’ extensive art collection. This was accomplished through choosing a simple material palette and by uncluttering the spaces within the house.

最后，重要的是要在原有住宅设计的传统方面与客户所希望的现代更新之间保持平衡，并为客户广泛的艺术收藏提供一个干净的背景。这是通过选择一个简单的材料调色板和清理房屋内的空间来实现的。

Painted white gypsum board walls are combined with several carefully selected materials used repeatedly throughout the house to achieve a clean and balanced space that is not distracting. Ipe wood is used extensively on the interior and the exterior of the house, including the handrail at stairs, the wood band that wraps the Den, the countertop at the Den bar and kitchen islands, the ceiling and floors of the master bathroom, the wood paneling and built-in cabinetry at the guest bedroom, the ceiling of the outdoor walkway covering and the pool trellis at the Den.

涂漆的白色石膏板墙与在整个房屋中反复使用的若干仔细选择的材料相结合，以获得清洁和平衡的空间，而这不会分散注意力。Ipe木材广泛用于房屋的内部和外部，包括楼梯扶手、Den包裹的木带、Den酒吧和厨房岛屿的台面、主浴室的天花板和地板、客房卧室的木地板和内置的橱柜、室外走道覆盖物的天花板和Den的游泳池格架。

Stainless steel is the primary metal finish on the interior of the house. It can be seen in most of the appliances, at the shelves and open drawers in the kitchen - pantry, the pickets on the stair handrails, and the custom made curtain rods. For stone finishes soapstone and carrera marble were selected. Soapstone comprises the kitchen countertops and the custom made fireplace surround, while carrara marble is featured in several of the bathrooms.

不锈钢是房子内部的主要金属饰面。它可以在大部分的电器里，在架子上，在厨房里打开的抽屉里看到。

The material palette for the exterior of the house is simple as well. White painted wood lap siding is the main material on the exterior of the house. The grey Kynar metal roof sets the standard for all other metal on exterior of the house. Any exposed metal structure is painted to match, while the kynar metal is used to wrap the chimney, the master bedroom window protrusion at the back of the house, the two sidewalls at the entry to the house and the garage doors. Meanwhile, Pennsylvania bluestone is used extensively as the exterior paving material at the patios and for the pool coping.

房子外部的材料调色板也很简单。白色漆木搭板是房子外部的主要材料。灰色的Kynar金属屋顶为房子外部的所有其他金属设定了标准。任何暴露的金属结构都被涂上与之相匹配的颜色，而Kynar金属则用来包裹烟囱，主卧室的窗户在房子后面突出，入口处的两个侧壁和车库的门。同时，宾夕法尼亚青石被广泛用作露台和游泳池顶部的外部铺路材料。
