架构师提供的文本描述。我们的任务是将这座百年老旧、破旧的芝加哥两套公寓改造成一个单一的家庭住宅，这让我们有机会回答一个问题：如何在将新生命注入现有的废弃外壳的同时，保留和整合昨天和今天的无形建筑品质？我们处理这个问题的方法是观察现有的物质和空间的“沉重”，考虑到克制和观赏性的过度并存，探索开放的特性和分隔化，并将旧工艺与新的传统叠加起来。

Text description provided by the architects. Being tasked with converting this 100-year-old dilapidated Chicago two-flat into a single family home gave us an opportunity to respond to a question: How does one preserve and integrate the intangible building qualities of yesterday and today while breathing new life into an existing derelict shell? Our approach to the question entailed observing the existing "heaviness" of both material and space, considering the juxtaposition of restraint and ornamental excess, exploring qualities of openness alongside compartmentalization, and superimposing old craft with new traditions.
