架构师提供的文本描述。这栋房子坐落于1766年的一个格鲁吉亚法庭上，是在战争期间遭到炸弹破坏的露台的一部分，几十年来它被部分拆除并大量重建，包括整个前后高地。这座房子在2013年被新业主购买并任命为西建筑公司之前，已经陷入失修状态。

Text description provided by the architects. Located in a Georgian court dating from 1766, this house forms part of a terrace which was bomb damaged during the war resulting in it being partially demolished and substantially rebuilt in the decades since including the front and rear elevations in their entirety. The house had fallen into a state of disrepair prior to the new owners purchasing it and appointing West Architecture in 2013.

Appointment

我们被要求与其他一些做法一起，提出一个有偿的可行性，探索现有房屋的潜力，并在后方建立一个小型车间。在此基础上，提出了主空间向低层空间大尺度模型的可行性。在这里，所有的主要行动和干预决定，如引进和位置的庭院。

We were asked along with a number of other practices to produce a paid feasibility exploring the potential of the existing house and a small workshop to the rear. The feasibility was presented in the form of a large scale model of the main spaces to the lower levels. Here all the main moves and interventions were decided such as the introduction and location of the courtyard.

 Ground Floor Plan

Arrangement

只保留围墙的房子，花园和前车间的后方，一个全新的结构已经插入。现在，这座房子与以前的车间相连，包括了以前的车间，增加了可居住的空间，并创建了一个封闭的庭院。庭院提供照明和通风的生活空间在三层，同时提供框架的意见和沟通之间的个别房间，它统一了。

Retaining only the perimeter walls to the house, garden and a former workshop to the rear, an entirely new structure has been inserted. The house now connects to and encompasses the former workshop, increasing the habitable space and creating an enclosed courtyard. The courtyard provides light and ventilation to living spaces on three levels whilst offering framed views and communication between the individual rooms it unifies.

新的生活区的材料主要是公平的或未经处理的，以反映它们以前作为车间使用的效用。新的居住空间将地面水平降低到后方，天花板高度从2.7米到3.8米不等。这与现有房屋中更多的细胞空间形成了对比，加强了对这些新发现空间的门槛和发现感。

Materials to new living areas are predominantly fair faced or untreated to reflect the utility of their previous use as a workshop. By lowering the ground level to the rear, the new living spaces have generous ceiling heights ranging from 2.7 metres to 3.8 metres. This is in contrast to the more cellular spaces in the existing house, reinforcing the threshold and sense of discovery to these new, found spaces.

 Longitudinal Section

增加了一个新的三楼，提供一个主卧室和露台，由一个新的楼梯连接到更衣室和浴室下面，在原来的房子的身体内。现有的楼梯也保留了原来的镶板暴露和保存。在房子的前面，木窗扇取代了以前的金属框窗，一般的门面已经被修复，以反映法院保存完好的时期特征。

A new third floor has been added providing a master bedroom and terrace linked by a new staircase to a dressing room and bathrooms below within the body of the original house. The existing staircase has also been retained with the original panelling exposed and preserved. At the front of the house timber sash windows replace the previous metal framed windows and generally the facade has been restored to reflect the well preserved period character of the court.

这个项目的目的是使用简单的材料在他们的原始状态，高水平的执行。标准云杉龙骨是在被涂成灰褐色和剃须之前获得的，以便在染色前去除铅笔圆形边缘。外露的结构钢结构被指定为无腐蚀防护，并用透明蜡密封。随着这个项目，我们试图产生一个最终的结果，这是精心设计和研究，在新的空间与现有的对比，同时承认他们以前的使用和共享的历史。

This project aims to use simple materials in their original state with a high level of execution. Standard spruce joists were obtained prior to being tanalised and shaved to remove pencil-round edges before being stained. Exposed structural steelwork was specified to be free of corrosion protection and sealed with a clear wax. With this project we attempted to produce an end result which is crafted and studied, where new spaces contrast with the existing whilst acknowledging their former use and shared history.

这项工作包括广泛的结构干预、挖掘和大的玻璃元素，都是在一个高度信任的地点完成的，没有车辆进入这所房子。

The work, which included extensive structural interventions, excavations and large glazed elements was all achieved on an extremely confided site with no vehicle access to the house.
