建筑师拥有都铎住宅重新定义

Architect Jacob Lilley integrates his family’s home with the landscape while updating the interior to exude a meld of traditional and contemporary design elements.

雅各布·利利 Jacob Lilley建筑事务所 spent his childhood in a house that was 600-years-old in which the roof rafters were made of tree trunks. 不用说, 英国出生的建筑师, “从小就喜欢欣赏古老的建筑,利利回忆道。, 他的同名公司设在韦尔斯利.

利利和他的妻子, 丽贝卡, 被吸引到他们现在的家, 这是一座建于1915年、绿树成荫的都铎式屋顶建筑, for its provenance as well as for its location across from a pond in a quiet suburban neighborhood. 周围是郁郁葱葱的植物, 一系列梯田, 和其他石制品, “这个地方有美丽的地形, 但这所房子与室外的联系非常有限,利利说。. The interior also hadn’t been significantly updated in decades: rooms were choppy and the layout wasn’t conducive to modern family living.

在这房子里住了一年多之后, Lilley began drafting plans for a gut renovation that included the addition of a large family room that connects to the backyard, a secluded and lush oasis with mature plantings that has a storybook quality to it. Glass accordion doors on two sides of the spacious room open to the outdoors. “一侧通向露台和庭院
other side opens to a Japanese garden we’re working on,利利说。.

为了增加家庭活动室, 然而, 现有的露台必须被解构和重建. 一旦添加到位，利利就开始点击 萨德伯里设计集团 在房子后面创造新的户外生活区, which took cues from the original design while adding modern touches including a firepit and water features. Bluestone stairs connect the terrace’s two levels, which are made of ashlar cut granite.

An existing screened-in porch was kept intact and paired with the new outdoor spaces, the Lilleys found they had ample areas to host neighbors and friends during 2020’s summer and fall of Covid. “Because we could open all the doors in the family room people could be outdoors at the firepit or inside by the open doors, 真的很棒,利利说。.

增加了家庭活动室, 它的拱顶有现代感, gable ceiling and exposed trusses and black and white Chinese Panda marble fireplace, became the catalyst for the updated aesthetic throughout the rest of the home. “We went with a transitional feel to create a nice resonance between the old and new details of the house,利利说。. “虽然房间有很多原始的传统细节, 家具和装饰干净而现代.”

家具主要是低调而时髦的, including the iconic Mies van der Rohe Barcelona Chair in the living room and a B & B Italia sofa in the family room; lighting throughout the house also has a very modern, 陈述上诉.

Most of the floors in the house are white oak and walls and trim are painted white in several rooms, so Lilley incorporated walnut wood to infuse warmth in key places, including the base of the 厨房 island and behind a new streamlined built-in cabinet in the dining room.

帮我挑选室内的布料, 艺术, 和墙面涂料, 利利夫妇请来了Blake Maroon和Laura Finnerty 旅游热内饰. “Jake and 丽贝卡 had a good idea of what they wanted so it was easy to work with them,” says Maroon. “我们也玩得很开心, 丽贝卡 wanted a little more color than Jake did and the push and pull that went on with that was a fun aspect of the project.”

魔力红的建议之一是让科尔 & Son’s Fornasetti’s cloud motif wallcovering on the ceiling in the den. “The paper went with Jake and 丽贝卡’s concept of integrating the interior with the outdoors and looks cool and unexpected as you approach the room,她说的是有点喜怒无常的黑白图案. Deep gray-hued crushed velvet roman shades add elegance to the room, 同时与一楼的灰色和白色调色板保持一致. The living room walls are painted another variation of grey, Farrow & 球的鼹鼠呼吸, which has a blue tint that contrasts beautifully with the white painted trim and moldings.

The grey in the dining room’s Phillip Jeffries grasscloth mural wallcovering features silvery tones in an ombre pattern. 雕塑般的方形枝形吊灯, 类星体的“宇宙,由镍条和玻璃条交织而成. 而固定装置使戏剧性的影响悬挂在桌子上方, its wiry nature doesn’t obstruct the view of the 艺术istic wallcovering or detract from the room’s original architectural details, including the crown molding and narrow interior windows that open to the screened in porch.

作为卫尔斯理历史委员会的一名建筑师, 我不可能买了房子再拆掉,利利说。. “For me, personally, it was important to give back to this old house.用微妙的手势, 他继续说, “we melded the contemporary and traditional throughout the house and tried to find resonance between the two.的确，他的努力取得了巨大的成功.
