Description by Kevan Hoertdoerfer: The single family residence built in Wagener Terrace close to Hampton Park in Charleston, South Carolina was originally a squat exposed cinder block duplex home from the 1950’s that saw little modification over the years. The transformation that ensued saw the full spectrum of responses about the design and construction, from excitement and wonder to shock and disdain. Now complete, the single family residence has found it’s place and added to the context of the neighborhood.

凯万·霍特多费尔(Kevan Hoertdoerfer)的描述：在靠近南卡罗来纳州查尔斯顿汉普顿公园的瓦格纳露台(Wagener Terace)建造的单一家庭住宅，最初是一栋20世纪50年代裸露的煤渣块复式住宅，多年来几乎没有改变。随后发生的转变使人们对设计和建筑的反应从兴奋和惊奇到震惊和鄙视。现在完成了，这个单一的家庭住宅已经找到了它的位置，并增加了附近的环境。

The broad brush design of the house was to generate a light filled, airy volume for an owner with contemporary taste in art and design. With houses on either side and limited views the approach was to introduce natural light with translucent panels along the sides facing the neighboring residences and large glass panels framing the views of the trees and sky to the south. The double height main area that includes the entry, kitchen, two dining areas is the hub of the duplex home. From here the floating stairs leads up to the loft-esque master suite with views out to the trees framed by the angled roof lines and the front deck. Through the hub, you see into the rear yard that has contemporary landscaping and an open air cabana.

房子的宽阔的画笔设计是为一位在艺术和设计方面具有现代品味的业主创造出一种轻盈、通风的空间。在两边都有房屋和有限的视野的情况下，方法是引入自然光，两边是半透明的面板，面向相邻的住宅，大的玻璃板将树木和天空的景致框在南面。双高主区包括入口处、厨房、两个就餐区，是复式住宅的枢纽。从这里开始，漂浮的楼梯通向阁楼式的主套房，可以看到由倾斜的屋顶线和前甲板构成的树木。通过集线器，你可以看到后面的院子里有当代的景观和一个露天的小屋。

The most striking feature of the house is the shape of the roof. It is dictated by the sun angles, the circulation on the interior space and exterior deck space while framing a view from the inside on both levels.

这所房子最突出的特点是屋顶的形状。它是由太阳的角度，循环的内部空间和外部甲板空间，而框架从内部的两个层次的看法。

There was use of local craftsman and artisans throughout the construction of the duplex home including the front door, exterior railing, cabinetry, custom metal chandelier, stained wood flooring and stair treads, metal awnings and a favorite poem written on the exterior wall in the stucco.
