一个简单的计划和部分的发展提供了一个卓越的质量，同时汇集了最全面的被动和主动节能的特点，在一个深思熟虑的，考虑周到的轻型空间组装，适合21世纪的生活。

The development of a simple plan and section delivered a house of exceptional quality whilst at the same time bringing together the most comprehensive range of passive and active energy-saving features in a well-considered, thoughtful assembly of light-filled spaces, suited to 21st century living.

房子捕捉到从所有的上层房间和流通空间的奇尔顿山周围令人惊叹和长期的看法，并调节日光和阳光在内部地区，以戏剧性的效果。

The house captures stunning and long-ranging views over the surrounding Chiltern Hills from all the upper rooms and circulation spaces and modulates daylight and sunlight in the internal areas to dramatic effect.

窗户的位置很仔细，可以使人们看到老城的景色，并向南提供更广阔的景色。其结果是一种平静而平静的内部气氛，在一年中的每一天和季节都会发生变化。

Windows are carefully positioned to frame views to the Old Town and provide more expansive views to the south. The result is a tranquil and calm internal atmosphere that changes throughout the day and the seasons of the year.

在材料方面，这座房子牢固地植根于该地区的历史，它使用了精美的深色垂直板覆盖层、折断和搭接的发光火石(用于熔覆和制造外墙)、暗锌屋顶和精心放置的球状钢的口音。

In terms of materials the house is firmly rooted in the history of the area through the use of delicately dark stained vertical board cedar cladding, snapped-and-knapped luminescent flint (used for cladding and to create external walls), dark zinc roofing and accents of carefully placed corten steel.

因此，这座建筑在小巷的环境中采用了一种威严而又恭敬的方式，并对更广泛的社区作出了贡献，在渲染的烟囱上加了一个时钟，使玩家和公众都能利用相邻的板球场地和露天场地。

As a result, the building adopts a commanding yet respectful presence in the context of the lane and also makes a contribution to the wider community with the inclusion of a clock on the rendered chimney, to the benefit of both players and public using the adjoining cricket ground and open

建筑师在可持续设计方面的专业知识和热情体现在实用、健壮、简单和可交付的设计特性的组合中，这些特性构成了设计方法的基石。

The architect's expertise in, and passion for sustainable design is evident in a combination of practical, robust, simple and deliverable design features that form the bedrock of the design approach.

首先是被动措施和一种建筑形式，将房屋的长轴定向于东西方向，从而使冬季有益的热量增加和夏季的太阳辐射被排除在外，通过明智地使用悬挂在一楼上方的悬臂屋顶，向南面对玻璃立面。

These begin with passive measures and a building form that orientates the long axis of the house in an east-west direction, thereby enabling both beneficial heat gain in winter and the exclusion of solar radiation in summer, through the judicious use of a cantilevered roof overhang above the ground floor, south-facing glass facade.

一个戏剧性的双高度空间，在计划的核心，再加上打开通风口，在较长的上层宿舍窗口，提供了被动堆栈自然冷却的机会，在夏季的几个月。此外，光伏电池板有助于发电，整个房子通过地源热泵加热，提供地下供暖和热水。

A dramatic double-height space at the heart of the plan, coupled with opening vents in the long upper level dormer window, provides opportunity for passive stack natural cooling in summer months. Furthermore, PV panels contribute to energy generation and the whole house is heated through a ground source heat pump, which provides underfloor heating and hot water.

其他环境特征包括气密、热重、重物和三层玻璃窗(超过目前的建筑规范u值)和确保运行成本最小化和内部条件尽可能舒适的地下管道通风系统。

Other environmental features include air-tight thermally heavyweight construction and triple- glazed windows (in excess of current building regulation u-values) and an earth tube ventilation system that ensures running costs are minimised and internal conditions are as comfortable as can be.

雨水是用来冲厕所、洗衣服和浇水的，而电器则被选为最高能效。一个野生草甸花园和居住屋顶的单层花园房，增强了立地的强烈生态价值。

Rainwater is harvested for toilet flushing, clothes washing and garden watering and appliances have been selected for the highest rated energy-efficiency available. A wild meadow garden and living roof to the single storey garden room enhance the strong ecological value of the site.
