住宅位于哈德逊山谷绝佳的地理位置上，是一对年轻夫妇的度假屋。

Old Stone House is designed for a young couple’s weekend retreat and it sits in a magnificent Hudson Valley 6.6 acre mountain top site.

住宅设计初始，设计师将场地现存总面积2000平方英尺的两层半住宅推倒，仅留存它的三面石墙和地基。在此基础上，住宅总居住面积被锐减至1000平方英尺的单层空间，另含300平方英尺的扩建结构和地下室。居住者对原有的石墙情有独钟，因此保留旧墙壁并融入全新的设计成为此项目的重点。全新的屋顶和墙壁与现存石墙相互围合成谷仓外貌的居住空间，阳光从户外渗透入住宅内，营造出自然和谐的气氛。

As a phase one of the master plan, existing two and a half story, 2,000 sqft house was stripped down to its three masonry walls and foundation, then reduced to a 1,000 sqft single story structure with 300 sqft addition and basement. The client was fond of the existing stone wall commonly built in the region and requested to incorporate it into the new design. New roof and wall wrapping the existing stone structure to create a simple barn form filled with natural light and bringing the outside in became the concept of this house.

▼住宅外貌，exterior view

现存的石墙与其上巨大的黑色金属屋顶相称，该屋顶由木梁支撑。尽管材质不尽相同，住宅依然展现了整体性外观。阳极氧化铝板围合成门窗框架，进一步强调了住宅的新旧对比。

The existing rough stone texture is juxtaposed with black standing seam metal roof and stained cedar siding to form a monolithic appearance. Pronounced anodized aluminum plate composes the window and door opening surrounds and further emphasizes the new and the old.
