架构师提供的文本描述。当我们的客户向我们走来时，他们用各种形式的当代艺术品和旅行中美丽的个人照片包围着自己，但在他们现有住宅的阴暗小房间里，很难看到任何东西。他们带着一份简约来到我们这里，不关心增加更多的楼面面积和卧室，而是想办法让他们的小家充满亮光。反过来，我们向他们展示了标准的南临悉尼露台问题的不寻常解决方案，两种高的雕刻屋顶形式，其南部轮廓较低。高耸的造型伸直并吸引北方的光线进来，而低轮廓坐在细木工的运行舒适，并保持可用的光线，以邻居的北面的窗户。随着谈话的发展，我们开始把屋顶形式称为轻型火炮，也就是那些在勒柯布西耶的拉图雷特(La Tourette)中发现的远亲。

Text description provided by the architects. When our clients approached us they had surrounded themselves with contemporary artworks of all forms and beautiful personal photographs from their travels, but it was hard to see anything inside the gloomy little rooms of their existing home. They came to us with a modest brief, not concerned with adding additional floor area and bedrooms but with finding ways of filling their little home with light. In turn we presented them with an unusual solution to the standard south-facing Sydney terrace problem, two tall sculpted roof forms with a low southern profile. The tall forms reach up and draw northern light in whilst the low profile sits comfortably over a run of joinery and maintains the available light to the neighbour’s north facing windows. As the conversation developed we started referring to the roof forms as light cannons, distant relations of those found in Le Corbusier’s La Tourette.

这些改动为现有的占地面积增加了22平方米，在可能的情况下重新利用或扩大了现有的体积，以创造更多的功能空间。没有增加额外的卧室，而是保留了现有的前卧室，没有留下任何改动。后部的单层形式仍然是生活空间，但被推入边界，以收回不可利用和被忽视的风道空间。

The alterations have added a meagre 22 sqm to the existing footprint, re-purposing or swelling existing volume where possible to create more functional spaces. No additional bedrooms were added, rather the existing front bedroom was retained and left untouched. The single storey form to the rear remained as the living space but pushed to the boundary to reclaim the unusable and neglected breezeway space.

一个安静的庭院被掏空了，在那里两层楼和一层楼的形式相交。楼上的储藏室扩大了，变成了主卧室和套间。当我们谈论光炮之家时，我们常常会发现自己在谈论化学；我们的客户既是化学医生，又是经过深思熟虑的、由白色和黑色组成的临床调色板，清楚地告诉我们家里的材料调色板和空间。他们还向我们介绍了“手性”的生物学现象-这个概念解释了为什么不对称的轻型火炮屋顶形式令人赏心悦目。

A quiet courtyard was hollowed out where two storey and single storey forms meet. Upstairs the storage space was enlarged to become a master bedroom and ensuite. When we talk about the Light Cannon House, we often find ourselves talking about chemistry; our clients are both doctors of chemistry and their considered, clinical palette of white and black clearly informs the material palette and spaces of the home. They also introduced us the biological phenomenon of ‘chirality’ - the concept that explains why the asymmetrical light cannon roof form is pleasing to the eye.

客户以一种独特的信心和信任接受了这个独特的计划，这是非常出色和非常感谢的。他们接受了生活在雕塑空间中的想法，并明白挑战传统建筑形式可能会带来一些不同寻常和令人愉悦的东西。

The clients embraced the unique scheme with a confidence and trust that is exceptional and greatly appreciated. They accepted the idea of living within a sculpted space and understood that challenging traditional building forms can result in something unusual and delightful.

在这个项目中，建筑商、客户和建筑师之间有一种奇妙的化学反应和友谊，我们认为这是这个设计演变的关键。其结果是一个谦逊而又宽敞的，充满阳光的家庭-在它需要的地方，它需要被控制和私人，充满了我们客户收集的艺术和记忆。

There was a wonderful chemistry and camaraderie between the builder, clients, and architects on this project that we feel was key to the evolution of this design. The result is a modest yet spacious, light filled home - expansive where it needs to be, contained and private where it needs to be, filled with the art and memories collected by our clients.
