架构师提供的文本描述。BaranStudio的项目是在现有住宅后面的很多地方设计一个单一的家庭住宅。这种新结构被认为是对一种传统形式的现代解释。一个简单的门廊形式从它所补充的前屋和邻里得到启示；倾斜的屋顶有助于减轻对相邻的西邻居投下的阴影。

Text description provided by the architects. Baran Studio’s project was to design a single-family home on a lot behind an existing home. The new structure is conceived as a modern interpretation of a traditional form. A simple gabled form takes its cue from the front house and neighborhood which it complements; the pitched roof helps mitigate the shadows cast onto the adjacent west neighbor.

木格子作为一个前门廊，并作为缓冲从前面的建筑物。该结构定位，使其窗户朝北或向南，最大限度地利用光线，并尊重邻居的隐私，其窗户朝正东或西。

The wood trellis acts as a front porch, and as a buffer from the front building. The structure is orientated so that its windows face due north or south, maximizing light and respecting the privacy of neighbors whose windows face due east or west.

建筑材料的选择反映了邻里关系的特点。瓦楞纸金属屋顶、板条纤维水泥墙板和金属窗的有限调色板是对前邻和东邻爱德华风格以及西方和远东近邻的现代风格的反应。

The building material choice reflects the character of the neighborhood. The limited palette of corrugated metal roof, board-and-batten fiber cement siding, and metal windows is a response to the mix of the Edwardian style of the front and east neighbors and the contemporary style of the west and far east neighbors.

内部同样包含对传统元素的简化解释，如壁板和装饰。混凝土地板和辐射热等材料经久耐用，维护最少。

The interior similarly contains simplified interpretation of traditional elements such as the wainscot and trim. The materials such as concrete floors and radiant heat are durable and retain their character with minimum maintenance.
