架构师提供的文本描述。新的12单元扩展是无缝地集成到现有的市郊环境的玛丽波特社区。为增强社区意识，12单元扩展被安置在一个美化庭院周围，每个单元都被放置在平衡独立和隐私的位置上。

Configured to enhance the sense of community, the 12 Unit extension is nestled around a landscaped courtyard with individual units sited to balance independence and privacy.

一条坚固的几何街道边缘，透过社区监察，塑造了发展的特色和安全感，建筑形式是指原单位的简易山墙屋顶，以适应内部规划的要求，使更多房间面向庭院或北面，而正面则清楚地反映了这一点。

A strong geometric street edge contributes to the character of the development and creates a sense of safety through community surveillance.  The building form references the simple gable roofs of the original units, which are adapted to meet the internal planning requirements to have more rooms facing the courtyard or North and a facade which legibly reflects this.

这是中等密度住房，但这些单元已被配置，以使它们相互抵消，以确保一定程度的隐秘和隐私。鼓励居民与设计互动是我们的首要任务。中心庭院模式使居民可以很容易地步行到彼此的房子，当他们穿过场地到社区中心时，他们会撞上邻居。

It is medium density housing but the units have been configured so that they are offset from each other to ensure a level of seclusion and privacy. It was a priority for us to encourage interaction between the residents with the design. The centre courtyard model makes it easy for residents to walk to one another’s houses, and as they walk through the grounds to the community centre they’ll bump into their neighbours.

其中一个关键的指导设计原则是“通用设计”，目的是该结构绝不排斥任何人占用房子，无论他们是年轻的、年老的、残疾人的，还是身体健全的。

One of the key guiding design principals was ‘universal design’ with the aim that the structure will in no way exclude any person from occupying the house whether they are young, old, handicapped, or able bodied.

这座建筑群最初是为玛丽小公司的姐妹们设计的，现在正处于发展的第三阶段。最初的17个单元和康文特是由沃伦和马霍尼在1993年设计的。2006年，在一个邻近的地点又增加了13个单元，后来又增加了一个由莫里斯·马霍尼设计的社区中心。

The complex, which was originally designed for the Sisters of the Little Company of Mary and is in its third stage of development. The original 17 units and Convent were designed by Warren and Mahoney in 1993. In 2006, 13 more units were added on an adjacent site and a later a Community Centre, designed by Maurice Mahoney.
