架构师提供的文本描述。特拉华州莱维斯市，位于苏塞克斯县东侧，面朝东北，进入特拉华湾河口。刘易斯是公认的18世纪沿海城镇，因为它是特拉华州最早的欧洲人聚居地。刘易斯主要由十九世纪末和二十世纪初的建筑群组成.主要建筑类型是木材，最流行的建筑类型是气球框架。这个项目的起点是位于桑树街308号的一座这样的小房子，最初建于19世纪初，位于历史街区的中心地带。

Text description provided by the architects. The small city of Lewes, Delaware, located on the eastern side of Sussex County faces northeast into the mouth of the Delaware Bay. Lewes is popularly known as an eighteenth-century coastal town commemorated for being the site of the earliest European settlement in Delaware. Lewes is composed primarily of late nineteenth-century and early twentieth-century building stock. The dominant building type is timber and the prevalent construction type is balloon framing. The starting point for this project is one such small house located at 308 Mulberry Street, originally constructed in the early nineteenth-century in the heart of the historical district.

目前业主购买的历史财产条件差，目的是翻新现有的结构，并增加了一个实质性的扩建和游泳池。在重新设计中，原始结构的外部被精心修复。20世纪初，一座有棚顶的屏蔽门廊、储藏室和比例极差的居住空间被移除在房子的后部。

The current owner purchased the historical property in poor condition, with the intention of renovating the existing structure and adding a substantial extension and swimming pool. In the redesign, the exterior of the original structure is meticulously restored. A shed-roofed screened porch, storage room, and poorly proportioned living space added to the back of the house in the early twentieth-century were removed.

所要求的空间需求很大，需要将原大楼的占地面积增加一倍以上。设计策略是让这座具有历史意义的两层楼的房屋在整体构成中保持突出地位。所需的空间将安置在原来的房子和四个额外的建筑中，这将使历史房屋以最小的侵入性方式使用。这些附加物被设想成一层楼高的展馆，围绕着一个新的游泳池和位于酒店后部的大德奥多雪松树。

The requested spatial requirements were substantial and necessitated more than doubling the footprint of the original building. The design strategy was to allow the historical, two-story house to remain prominent in the overall composition. The requisite space would be accommodated in the original house and four additional structures that would engage the historical house in a minimally invasive fashion. The additions are conceived as one-story pavilions organized around a new swimming pool and large Deodor Cedar tree, located at the rear of the property.

虽然原来的房子的外部修复与历史正确的细节，新的展馆是清晰的细节。雪松瓦墙和屋顶与历史建筑相匹配，但没有悬垂和装饰。大面积的玻璃镶嵌在黑色的钢架上，点缀着雪松的墙壁。高大的红砖烟囱和景观墙增加了垂直和水平元素，完成了构图。

While the exterior of the original house is restored with historically correct detailing, the new pavilions are crisply detailed. Cedar shingled walls and roofs match the historical house but without overhangs and trim. Large expanses of glass set in black steel frames punctuate the cedar walls. Tall red brick chimneys and landscape walls add vertical and horizontal elements, completing the composition.

原来的房子现在有主入口和四间卧室。内部显然是现代与白色墙壁，没有装饰，外壳，模具和脚板，与白色灰地板。一个开放的，浮动楼梯，玻璃墙，铝和不锈钢有助于现代调色板的元素和材料。与原来房子的主要白色内饰并置，新的活亭内部有丰富的材料，包括桃花心木墙壁和天花板，玄武岩地板，白色大理石台面和壁炉环绕和不锈钢橱柜。墙的玻璃和一个长长的天窗在山脊允许光淹没的亭子。额外的展馆包括一个浴室、一个运动室和一个屏蔽门廊。屏蔽门廊，有道格拉斯-杉木墙壁和天花板，位于游泳池的尽头，并包含一个壁炉，允许空间使用到秋季晚些时候。

The original house now contains the main entry and four bedrooms. The interiors are decidedly modern with white walls void of trim, casings, moldings and baseboard that engage white ash flooring. An open, floating staircase, glass walls, aluminum and stainless steel contribute to the modern palette of elements and materials. In juxtaposition to the primarily white interiors of the original house, the interior of the new living pavilion is rich with a variety material, including mahogany walls and ceilings, basalt flooring, white marble countertops and fireplace surround and stainless steel cabinetry. Walls of glass and a long skylight at the ridge allow light to flood the pavilion. Additional pavilions contain a bathroom, an exercise room and a screened porch. The screened porch, with Douglas-Fir walls and ceilings, is located at the end of the swimming pool and contains a fireplace allowing the space to be used late into the fall.

这个项目的目的是包括一个小的，历史的房子，以恢复它，并允许它在未来许多年为历史刘易斯的结构作出贡献。该项目还试图提供慷慨的比例，现代，轻填充空间，在历史结构中舒适地共存。

This project is intended to embrace a small, historical house, to restore it and allow it to contribute to the fabric of historical Lewes for many years to come. The project also attempts to provide generously proportioned, modern, light filled spaces that co-exist comfortably within the historical fabric.
