Deep in Virginia tobacco country, our clients came across an extraordinary 1930s moderne villa overlooking the Rappahannock River. While the house served their family quite well, it provided no space for their frequent weekend guests. This addition is essentialy, then, a guest house-just one joined to the main house by new shared social spaces, including kitchen and informal eating and sitting areas.

The existing white brick exterior is brought inside in a series of parallel walls that frame the new spaces. A terrace toward the river takes in the view and supports a steel framed tower of screened porch and guest rooms.

埋头于弗吉尼亚烟草乡镇，我们的建筑师们在不同寻常的20世纪30年代摩登别墅里俯瞰拉帕汉诺克河。即使房子让家人们住的舒适安逸，但却没有给主人们在周末频繁来往的客人们提供空间。这个附加要求是必要的，那样就有了专供客人使用的房子——有了新分享的公用空间作为仅一人享用的主室，还带有厨房、随意吃饭和坐下休息的地方。

显露在外的白色外砖被排成一系列平行的墙作为屋内的墙壁以框饰新的空间。通往小河的台阶与钢框的塔遥相呼应，塔里还有隔板的门廊和客房。
