架构师提供的文本描述。由于一系列笨拙的干预措施，这所列入第二类名单的格鲁吉亚住宅的原始完整性大部分已经丧失。这所房子规划得很差，没有真正的中央居住空间，也没有从一个地方到另一个地方的方便流动。

Text description provided by the architects. Much of the original integrity of this Grade II listed Georgian house had been lost through a series of clumsy interventions. The house was poorly planned – with no real central living space or easy flow from one part to another.

我们不想简单地增加更多的居住空间，而是以一种与现有建筑的内部和外部工作的方式改善房子的上下层。很明显，如果花园的高度较低，它的新部分将与花园有关。

We did not want to simply add on more living space but rather improve the upper and lower ground floors of the house in a way that worked with the existing building, both internally and externally. It was clear that the new part of the building would relate to the garden on a more domestic scale if its height were lower.

制定了一个大胆的新计划。利用“立方体”的纯几何学，我们创造了一个新的大中心居住空间，给了房子一颗新的心。较小的房间打开这个空间，符合家庭生活的节奏：有一个温暖和欢迎的地方聚在一起，但也有空间安静地退却。

A bold new plan was devised. Using the pure geometry of a ‘cube’, we created a new large central living space, giving the house a new heart. Smaller rooms opening off this space match the rhythms of family life: there’s a warm and welcoming place to come together in but also spaces to quietly retreat to.

巧妙地布置厨房、储藏室、公用室和衣帽间，使您能够顺利高效地回家。

Clever arrangement of the kitchen, pantry, utility room and cloakroom makes for a smoothly and efficiently run home.

一个钢和木材结构构成了“立方体”。客户所寻求的温暖和舒适是通过一个简单的调色板蜡桦树和橡木线楼梯，地板，墙壁和天花板。我们与工匠密切合作，以确保完美的完成。白桦树天花板是用连续的牧师窗丝带上的光清洗的。

A steel and timber structure forms the ‘cube’. The warmth and comfort that the client was looking for was achieved through a simple palette of waxed birch ply and oak to line the stairs, floors, walls and ceiling. We worked closely with craftsmen to ensure an immaculate finish. The birch ceiling is washed with light from a continuous ribbon of clerestory windows.

空间彼此开放-向外延伸到花园里。伦敦花园的乐趣来自精心组织的窗户和上层户外露台。

Spaces open into each other – and out into the garden. The delight of a London garden is enjoyed from carefully organised windows and also from an upper outdoor terrace.

对附近类似房屋的扩建旨在与现有风格形成对比。我们采取了一种不同的方法，从已经存在的东西开始。我们选择了与原来的房子相同或相似的材料：木材；玻璃；中性颜色的开窗；以及白色的砖石板。

Extensions to similar houses close by had aimed for a contrast to the existing style. We took a different approach and started with what was already there. We chose materials that were the same or similar to the original house: timber; glass; neutral-coloured fenestration; and off-white coloured rendered masonry panels.

随着新扩建工程的大量和外部材料的增加，我们试图补充现有的建筑。前面的海拔几乎没有变化-所以它的传统特征没有任何损失。

With the massing and external materials of the new extension we sought to complement the existing building. Minimal changes were made to the front elevation – so nothing of its heritage character is lost.

我们还考虑了邻居，改善了他们对房子的看法。现在的景色是树叶和刚玉屋顶，而不是棚屋和倾斜石板屋顶。

We also considered the neighbours and improved their outlook over the house. The view is now of foliage and a sedum roof rather than a shed roof and lean-to slate roof.
