Kwong Von Glinow设计了Ardmore住宅，位于芝加哥的一个巷子里，住宅的整体布局有别于传统的设计思路。Kwong Von Glinow工作室位于芝加哥，设计师根据当代人的生活习惯，将卧室布置在一层，客厅布置在二层，突出公共活动区，并使得公共区域与私密区域产生联系。住宅内部光照充足，建筑整体能够融入到城市环境中。

建筑内部设计有一个贯穿建筑前后的中庭空间，两层通高。中庭紧邻室外的一边是落地玻璃窗，另一边是弧形墙体，墙体上开有卧室的门洞。中庭空间为住户提供了一个多功能活动区，大人小孩均可在这嬉戏放松。该住宅的设计强调了住宅内部公共空间与私密空间的关系。

Situated on a traditional Chicago lot bordering an alleyway, Ardmore House by Kwong Von Glinow reimagines the conventional residential layout. For this project, the Chicago-based architectural studio arrays bedrooms on the first floor and living spaces on the second. This approach supports contemporary ways of living, emphasizing communal areas, interconnectivity, and flexible live-work spaces that receive ample natural light and engage the surrounding urban context.
A curved double-height interior courtyard atrium runs lengthwise from front to back doors, creating a vertical connection between the common areas on the first and second floors. Defined by a large picture window and a curving wall that leads to each of the bedrooms, the courtyard offers an informal multi-purpose area where residents can relax and children can play. The design of the home calibrates the relationship between privacy and exposure in this urban site.

住宅内部中庭一边的曲面墙是位于一层卧室的墙体，另一边是临近街道小巷的落地玻璃窗。卧室的另一面墙体上开有窗户，可以看到周边建筑的芝加哥砖墙，建筑整体注重住户的私密性。主卧位于住宅的后方，在卧室内，可以看到紧邻住宅的私人花园。室内楼梯位于中庭曲面墙体的后方，通向二层开放活动空间。建筑整体是桁架结构，可以完美地将住宅支撑起来。建筑内部设计了五大功能区，即厨房、活动区、餐厅、客厅和化妆间。

Kwong Von Glinow设计的住宅内部颜色相对温和，如采用的是白色墙面和白橡木的地板、桁架和家具，这种设计手法可以将人们的视线聚焦在住宅空间的本身。二层公共活动空间紧邻街巷的一侧采用横向长窗，有56英尺长，可以尽可能多地引进自然光线，也为观看周围景色提供最佳视野，如可以看到窗外的百年古树等，也可看到邻居的阳台、消防通道以及路边的路灯等。

Off of the courtyard’s inner curved wall lie all of the home’s bedrooms, pushed away from the alleyway towards the neighboring lot. The two bedrooms nearer the front of the house have windows that look toward the neighbor’s Chicago brick wall, providing privacy from view of the street or neighbor. The primary bedroom suite is located at the back of the home, overlooking a private garden between the home and the adjacent garage. A stair tucked behind the courtyard’s curving wall leads to the open plan second floor, organized by four trusses above that hold the Chicago balloon frame home together. These trusses designate five areas set around the curve of the balustrade: the kitchen, the island, the dining room, the powder room, and the living room.
Through a restrained colors and materials palette—white walls and white oak wood floors, trusses and furnishing—Kwong Von Glinow studio draws attention to the qualities of the spaces themselves. All of the shared and public spaces on the second floor are oriented towards a 56-foot-long ribbon window that spans the length of the interior courtyard and floods the home with natural light, offering panoramic views that capture the fullness of the surrounding neighborhood: beautiful century-old trees, the back balconies and fire-escapes of neighboring buildings, and street lamps with their meandering cabling.

这座住宅整体外观仍然遵循该社区的传统风格，但其内部空间排布有一定的更新。建筑立面的设计考虑到了周围环境的影响，如临街立面的一层只设置了一个门洞，门采用的是不透明材质，可以很好地保护住宅的隐私，二层设计有横向长窗，可为活动空间提供观景视野。

在临街道小巷一侧的立面中，二层设计的是落地玻璃窗，可以从内部中庭望向巷子外的景观，使得建筑内部与室外环境产生联系。建筑整体外观采用的材料色调原则是下灰上黑，一层下半部分是灰色，一层上半部分和二层是黑色，黑色为主导色调。该住宅设计有混凝土地基，还设计有防雨水高台。

The exterior of the home by Kwong Von Glinow engages the neighborhood’s traditional vernacular style while reflecting the organization of the interior spaces. The design shifts the facade hierarchy from the street to the alleyway, the most urban of the contexts. The street-facing facade has a row of half-height ribbon windows along the second floor and only a single opaque door on the first level, maintaining privacy for the front bedroom.
On the alleyway side, floor-to-ceiling windows on the second floor and a large picture window facing out to the alleyway from the interior courtyard open the home’s interior to the urban surroundings. The exterior materials approach emphasizes the sectional flip and lends visual rhythm to the monolithic building. The house sits atop a concrete base with a dual-color Accoya wood rain screen system. The bottom half of the first level is clad in grey wood, while black wood lines the top half of the first level and all of the second.
