架构师提供的文本描述。这座房子是一座双层的中间露台房，宽7米(23‘)，占地面积26米(85’)。以前的设计是典型的。

Text description provided by the architects. This house is a double storey intermediate terrace house which sits on a 7m (23’) width by 26m (85’) land size. The previous design was typical.

场地的局限性和所探讨的想法导致了场地安排的逆转。因此，一楼变成了生活空间，而底层变成了卧室，楼层之间的过渡试图将住宅的私人空间和社会空间统一起来，并提供联系。因此，地面上更坚固的封闭卧室与一楼的“屋顶甲板”起居空间形成对比，扭转了房屋内部和外部之间的紧张关系，创造了一种视觉扩张。主流通空间连接卧室是双倍体积，概述了一楼空间的生活，餐饮和厨房是一个连续的开放空间。天窗为室内提供自然光线，反映一天的心情和时间。

The limitation of the site and ideas explored led to the reversal of the floor arrangement. Thus, the first floor became the living space, whilst the ground floor became the bedrooms.  The transition between the floors attempts to unify and provide connections between the private and the social spaces of the house. Resulting contrasts between the more solid enclosed bedrooms on the ground and the “roof deck” living spaces on the first floor inverts the tension between the interior and the exterior of the house, creating a visual expansion. The main circulation space connecting the bedrooms are double volume, outlining the first floor spaces of living, dining and kitchen to be a continuous open space. Skylights provide the interior with natural light, reflective of the day’s mood and time.

自然和隐私的因素是显而易见的。庭院树是卧室的焦点，有大的滑动门，在需要的时候创造隐私和开放的变化。主走廊尽头有一扇6米长的大门，通向一个私人花园。前面的起居室通向一个屋顶花园，从街道的角度看，这是一个私人花园。

Elements of nature and privacy are evident. The courtyard tree is a focal point to the bedrooms with large sliding doors to create shifts of privacy and openness when required. A large 6m door at the end of the main corridor opens to a private garden. The living room at the front opens to a roof garden which is private from street level view.

一层平面图

基本的材料饰面是有节制地选择的，以免突出整体的任何部分。其目的是创造一个纯粹由体积、深度和光线定义的平静空间。

Basic material finishes were chosen with restraint, so as not to accentuate any part of the whole. The intent is to create a calm space defined purely by volume, depth and light.
