这座位于美国洛杉矶的私人住宅是小说家兼电视作家Patrick Somerville和他的妻子Alexis的家，由设计工作室Jeff Troyer设计。近十年来，他们会一直在这里居住，但在不久的将来，他们还是会搬回到中西部，因为他们都在来自那里，也将会在那里抚养他们的三个孩子。

This private home in Los Angeles, USA, is the home of novelist and television writer Patrick Somerville and his wife Alexis, designed by design studio Jeff Troyer. They've been living here for almost a decade, but in the near future, they'll still be moving back to the Midwest, where they're all from and where they'll be raising their three children.

Patrick Somerville和他的妻子都很喜欢Silver湖悠闲的、家庭友好的氛围，所以他们出价购买了一处20世纪20年代的山坡，那里有迷人的都铎风格，还有一个绿树成荫的后院，视野一直延伸到好莱坞标志。但也有一个缺陷：该空间最近经历了一次平淡的改造，令其普通的饰面和不利的布局黯淡了世纪之交的魅力。

Patrick Somerville and his wife loved the laid-back, family-friendly vibe of Silver Lake, so they bid on a 1920s hillside with a charming Tudor style and a tree-lined backyard , the horizon extends all the way to the Hollywood Sign. But there's a flaw: The space has recently undergone a bland makeover, dimming its turn-of-the-century charm with its mundane finishes and unfavorable layout.

Alexis Somerville bought the house to discover its potential, but they were both very new to the process. Realising they were in trouble, they called up their good friend Meghan Eisenberg, an interior designer who worked for Joan Behnke & Associates and had just opened her own studio. Eisenberg helped them find an architect, Jeff Troyer, who set about demolishing the property, relocating the front door, adding a central hallway, new bedrooms, a pool deck, and even carving out a climb on the site's downhill slope 1000 square feet of new living space.

为了恢复建筑的旧世界魅力，Troyer和Eisenberg创造了覆盖着橡木板的拱形天花板，在室内地板上铺设了经典的Chantilly拼花地板，在露台上铺设了鹅卵石。Troyer和Eisenberg希望建筑看起来像是永远存在的。客户也希望这个空间能让人感觉永恒，同时也具有相关性。

To restore the old-world charm of the building, Troyer and Eisenberg created vaulted ceilings clad in oak planks, classic Chantilly parquet on the interior floors and cobblestone on the patio. Troyer and Eisenberg wanted the building to look like it was there forever. The client also wanted the space to feel timeless while also being relevant.
