最初的房子建于20世纪60年代，由于其邻近性和对一条被大量使用的道路的开放性而面临问题。尽管处于最佳位置，但交通证明对居住者来说是一种干扰。然而，出于感情上的原因，客户希望保留现有的房子。有了一个简单的六米墙围护结构，该建筑能够消除外部滋扰，并定义一个新的庭院空间。

The original house, built in the 1960s, faced problems from its proximity and openness to a heavily used road. Despite being in a prime location, the traffic proved to be a disturbance for the occupants. Yet, for sentimental reasons, the client wishes to preserve the existing house. With a simple six-meter wall enclosure, the architecture is able to eliminate the external nuisance and define a new courtyard space.

Materiality

新房子的大部分都是不动的，而新增加的部分则表示为砖块。在铺砖的过程中引入了孔以供通风，砖块也被交错地进出，以创造一种质感。由新的围护所创建的庭院然后充满了大量的树叶。花园的墙壁上还会有爬虫，及时覆盖绿色。在一次笔触中，旧的、新的、自然的和谐是同时实现的。

Much of the new house is untouched, while the new additions are expressed as brickwork.  Holes are introduced within the brick laying for ventilation, and the bricks are also staggered in and out to create a texture. The courtyard created by the new enclosure is then filled with generous foliage. Creepers are also introduced on the garden walls, which will be covered with green in time. In a single brushstroke, the harmony of the old, the new, and nature is simultaneously achieved.
