中世纪现代房屋的时尚翻新和扩展

最初是由罗杰·李（Roger Lee）于1962年设计和建造的。该项目于2020年完成，新设计由Studio创建Klopf Architecture。

设计的原始视野被保存并融入了房屋的新美学和改进的美感中。这是基于两个因素的决定。

The key principles of mid-century modern architecture

One of the factors which influenced the design was the fact that the house was deemed historical and that meant certain restrictions were put in place. The other factor was the new owner’s love and appreciation for mid-century modern architecture.

本世纪中叶现代建筑的趋势开始after world war II and originated from architect Frank Lloyd Wright. It’s a style characterized by simple and clean lines, minimal decorations, a strong connection with nature and a preference for large windows. Typically the houses have low and large footprints with flat roofs, although it’s also fairly common to see the occasional gabled roof as well.

Other defining features of a mid-century modern house plan include simple furnishings and a preference for muted and neutral colors and nuances inspired by nature. A lot of them have a分级结构随内部空间和连接房间的短楼梯之间的高度变化。

A lot of mid-century modern houses also feature floor-to-ceiling windows which frame expansive view of their backyards and gardens. Typically the interior spaces are connected to the outdoors through sliding glass doors and the houses have numerous points of access between the indoor and outdoor sections.

这种特殊风格的房屋风格的另一个重要定义要素是与自然和一般户外的密切联系。在某些情况下，这甚至可以在每个房间内提供户外的访问点。

In the case of this particular project, the house had the certainly lacked a few features. For example, apart from being in fairly poor condition, it has uninsulated walls and the windows were generally fairly small and provided very limited views of the outdoor areas.

Changes and additions made to the original house

翻新工程的主要目标之一是补救，不仅可以扩大窗户并更容易进入户外，还可以重新设计整个后院。这是由Outer Space Landscape Architects他们的第一个决定之一是摆脱一个破裂的游泳池，占据了后院的大部分空间。

房子的内部并不真正适合现代生活方式。它有小房间和日期的整体氛围。实际上，它要求厨房开放并扩展到起居区，这正是建筑师选择做的事情。他们还添加了一个可爱的新早餐角落，使过渡更加顺畅。

In the living room, the originalwood-burning fireplacewas preserved and restored. It’s now a stylish focal point and it blends in seamlessly. The windows were enlarged and a set of sliding glass doors was added in order to allow for a very natural and smooth transition onto the patio and the new pergola deck.

还应该提到的是，房屋的下层不需要翻新。最初，它主要是作为功利主义的空间。这是洗衣房和储藏区以及泳池室的地方。游泳池被完全拆除，整个空间变成了一个明亮，通风和诱人的生活空间。

房屋的私人部分得到了相同的待遇。现在，主卧室有较高的窗户，可欣赏到后院的美景，并增加了一个新的角落办公室，以使在家工作。beplay平台没信用房屋总共增加了1,100平方英尺的空间。
