The 308 Mulberry residence is a late nineteenth-century historic house, located in the small town of Lewes, Delaware. The picturesque view of it was shadowed by the normal deteriorations that occur over time. The house required an upgrade and the exterior needed to be restored to its original condition. Robert M. Gurney, the architect responsible with the project, talks about the general context: “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.”
The upgrade implied also a series of new additions. To be more specific, four new structures had to engage wonderfully with the existent historical home. The client also requested a modern swimming pool and a lounge area. Despite its historic exterior, the interior looks neat, modern and crisp. The additional pavilions, built around the swimming pool, are envisioned as relaxations spots (one even contains a fireplace allowing the space to be used late into the fall).
桑居住的308是一个迟到的19世纪历史的房子,坐落在特拉华州Lewes小镇。风景如画的景致,它的阴影,随着时间的推移发生的正常恶化。房子需要升级和外部需要恢复到原来的状态。罗伯特·格尼,建筑师负责的项目,一般情况下:“刘易斯主要是由十九世纪晚期和20世纪早期的建筑存量谈。占主导地位的建筑类型是木材和流行的建筑类型是气球取景。这个项目的出发点就是这样的一个小房子坐落在308桑树街,原建于十九世纪早期的历史文化区的心脏。“
升级也暗示了一系列新的补充。为了更具体的,有四个新的结构奇妙从事存在的历史家。客户还要求一个现代化的游泳池和休息区。尽管历史悠久的外观,内饰看起来整齐,现代和明快。额外的亭台楼阁,建游泳池周围,放宽点(甚至有一个壁炉,允许进入秋季后期要使用的空间)的设想。
