架构师提供的文本描述。北伦敦临终关怀中心被设计成“某个人的房子的一个大版本”来灌输一种家庭幸福感，它为患有限制生命的疾病的患者提供专门的姑息治疗。坐落在伦敦北部一个安静的住宅区的一个显眼的角落，这座砖房的堆积如山被分成两面朝北的山墙，中间是循环交错的山墙。

Text description provided by the architects. Designed to be ‘a big version of someone’s house’ to instil a domestic sense of well-being, North London Hospice offers specialist palliative care to patients with life-limiting illnesses. Set on a prominent corner in a quiet residential area of north London, the massing of this brick building is broken down into two north facing gables with circulation interleaved between.

一个单层多斜延伸在后方完成L型计划和框架的南面私人庭院，以享受病人。从内外两方面构思，膨胀的窗户围绕着简单的砖和木材调色板，确保了一系列光线和通风空间的良好连接-无论是物理上还是视觉上-与它们的外部环境紧密相连。

A single-storey multi-pitched extension at the rear completes the L-shaped plan and frames a south-facing private courtyard for the enjoyment of patients. Conceived from both the inside-out and the outside-in, the expansive windows set around a simple palette of brick and timber, ensure a series of light and airy spaces that are well-connected – both physically and visually – with their external environment.
