架构师提供的文本描述。新的住宅建筑StadthausBallhausgas填补了在这条街上的长期空白，在历史悠久的城市中心格拉茨，奥地利。街面用现代语言诠释19世纪后期的设计原则。通过在新镜面上吸收和延续这些元素，在飞檐、凸出的窗户和周围的框架上形成了光和阴影的游戏所创造的可塑性，以及它们的排列方式。

Text description provided by the architects. The new residential building Stadthaus Ballhausgasse fills a long-time void on this street in the historic city centre of Graz, Austria. The street facade interprets the design principals of the late 19th century using a contemporary language. The plasticity created by a game of light and shadow on the cornices, protruding windows and surrounding frames, as well as their arrangement, is achieved by the absorption and continuation of these elements in the new mirror-effect facade.

一种以稍微倾斜的三角形表面的形式出现的三维外观，将相邻建筑物的不同檐高连接起来，因此与19世纪末的建筑物相比，减少了楼层的数量，从而降低了人们的识别能力。其结果是，在几个层次上，立面和窗面之间有着不同的相互作用，它从不同的角度揭示了新的细节。作为一种具有代表性的观点，让人想起19世纪末，街道立面的复杂设计和更高的材料支出与朴素的庭院立面形成了鲜明的对比。

A three-dimensional appearance, in the form of slightly inclined triangular surfaces, emerges and links the different cornice heights of the neighbouring buildings, thus making the reduced number of storeys, when compared to the late 19th century buildings, less clearly recognisable. The result is a differentiated interaction between facade and window surfaces on several levels, which reveal new details from different perspectives. As a representative view, reminiscent of the end of the 19th century, the street facade complex design and higher expenditure on materials contrasts with the unadorned courtyard facade.

这片空地是连续、均匀、一排排房屋中唯一的空置场所，因此在它的背景下是独一无二的。StadthausBallhausgas探索了一种整合和模仿的游戏，使用了一种新型的材质，如镜面加工、高光泽抛光不锈钢-这是我们这个时代最优质的材料之一，不锈钢本身也有着微妙的生命力。因为它不像玻璃那么光滑和坚硬。通过反射，正面描绘了相反的正面，由于略有不同的倾斜，在万花筒中出现折射。这座新建筑产生了矛盾的效果，即通过去物质化，既有强大的存在，也有缺席。

This void was the only vacant site in a continuous, homogenous and unbroken row of houses, thus unique in it´s context. Stadthaus Ballhausgasse explores a game of integration and mere imitation, using a new type of material in the form of mirror-finished, high-gloss polished stainless steel — one of the highest quality materials of our times, stainless steel has a subtle life of its own, as it is not as perfectly smooth and hard as glass. Via reflection, the facade depicts the opposite facades, which appear refracted as in a kaleidoscope due to the slightly different inclination. The new building has the paradoxical effect of having both a strong presence and absence via dematerialisation.
