架构师提供的文本描述。该项目被提名为非盈利项目“装饰之梦”，该项目位于哈尔滨市第五条辽阳街，是整个城市的心脏地带。作为庭院入口处的一座小平房，改造后的平房坐落在一个俄罗斯风格的大院里，由国家保护的折中主义建筑组成。

Text description provided by the architects. The project is nominated to the nonprofit program “Dream of Decoration”, which is located at 5th Liaoyang Street in Harbin, the heart of the entire city. As a small bungalow at the entrance of the courtyard, the renovated bungalow is located in a large Russian style compound, which is composed of national protected buildings of eclecticism.

平房原本是保安人员的房间，面积仅28.77平方米。由于一定的历史原因，它被改为普通住宅，拥有产权，三口之家不断向外扩张。

The bungalow was originally a room for security-guard with a floor area of 28.77 square meters only. For some historical reasons, it was changed to ordinary residence, with property rights, and being continuously expanded exteriorly for a family of three.

整个项目的最大挑战是解决当前的问题，以满足家庭的需要，同时仍与周围的历史街区保持对话。这不是一个简单的方式复制传统的俄罗斯风格的折衷建筑，也不是摆脱环境的限制，它是一定要在两者之间取得平衡。

The biggest challenge of the entire project is to resolve the current problem to satisfy the family's needs, while still maintains a dialogue with surrounding historic neighborhood. It is neither a simple way to replicate traditional Russian style eclectic architecture, nor to escape the environmental constraints, and it is to be sure to strike a balance between the two.

新的建筑物基础在2米以下开挖，有效地避免了冻胀对冻土层的破坏。新房子的设计是一个非常包裹的质量，一个额外的15厘米的绝缘被添加到基础，墙和屋顶，这从根本上解决了稳定和寒冷的问题。面对建设在高纬度地区的保暖性，太阳是最重要的因素之一。

The new building foundation is dug below 2 meters, so as to effectively avoid the damage caused by frost expansion on the frozen soil layer. The new house is designed as a very wrapped mass, an extra 15cm insulation is added to the foundation, the wall and the roof, which fundamentally solves the problem of stability and cold. In the face of construction in the high latitudes warmth retention property, the sun is one of the most important factors.

由于地块的方位不面向南北，被周围的高层建筑所遮挡，无法获得良好的阳光照射。因此，新建筑的设计在南侧开了一个三角形的洞口，保证了整个房子在冬季至少有三个小时的阳光，从而提高了整个房子的居住舒适性。

Due to the fact that the orientation of the land plot not facing south and north, and is blocked by the surrounding high-rise buildings, it cannot get a good angle of sunlight. Therefore, the design of the new building cuts a triangular opening in the direction of the south, which can guarantee that the whole house has at least three hours of sunshine in the winter, thus to improve the residential comfort of the whole house.

南部山墙采用传统的寿司板，北山墙采用日本复合板，具有较好的保温性能。包括屋顶和墙壁在内的建筑主体不断地用钛锌板覆盖，有效地避免了屋面的积雪，降低了业主今后的维修费用。

Southern gables adopted traditional Shou-Sugi-Ban, and northern gable wall adopted Nippon composited board with better thermal insulation and heat preservation. The main body of the building including roof and wall is continually covered by titanium zinc plate, which can effectively avoid the snow cover in roof and reduce the maintenance cost of the owner in the future.

利用南侧高度，设计了阁楼面积，以提高室内空间利用率。朝南的三角形窗户为整个客厅带来了光和温暖。南面不同大小的三角形开口为室内创造了丰富的照明环境，也为室内空间营造了各种室外场景。

By utilizing height on the south side, loft area is designed to enlarge the usage ratio of indoor space. South-facing triangular windows bring light and warmth to the entire living room. The triangular openings of different sizes of the south facade create a rich lighting environment for the interior, as well as a variety of outdoor scenes for the indoor space.

东侧的线性窗户从屋顶一直开到正面，为日常生活提供了充足的光线。整个建筑的墙壁被设计为一个隐蔽的橱柜，它提供了大的存储空间，以及为建筑物的室内绝缘功能。

The linear window in the eastern side opens from the roof to the facade, providing ample light for daily living. The entire wall of the building is designed as a concealed cabinet, which provides large storage areas, as well as functioning the indoor insulation for the building. 

为了满足户外活动的需要，庭院被划分为多种种植空间，从菜地空间、灌木区到游憩空间。庭院景观是建筑几何的空间延续。

To satisfy the demands of outdoor activities, the courtyard is accordingly divided into a variety of planting space, from vegetable plot space, shrubs area to recreation space.  Courtyard landscape is the spatial continuation of architectural geometry.

新建筑最终恢复到原来的高度和规划面积，这成为新的组成部分在大院。它既不是俄罗斯豪宅的附属建筑，也不是前平房那样被遗弃的实体。它在历史街区的新的和坚定的位置被重新建立起来。

The new building eventually returns to the original height and planned area, which become the new constituent element in the compound. It is neither the ancillary of the Russian mansion nor the forsaken entity as the former bungalow. It has been re-erected in a new and determined position in the historic district.
