架构师提供的文本描述。25年前，客户们自己建造了自己的房子，但他们有些不愿意拆掉这座平房，这座平房在抚养家庭的岁月里，一直保存着如此多的回忆。然而，为了使他们的土地能够维持到他们的下一阶段生活，他们决定用两个半独立的房子取代现有的房子，在那里他们的长子和他的家人可以在他们旁边，也可以为他们的小儿子建造一个单独的公寓。

Text description provided by the architects. Having constructed their house themselves over 25 years prior, the clients were somewhat reluctant to tear down the unassuming bungalow that had been a repository for so many memories throughout the years of raising their family. In order to make their plot of land sustainable for the next phase of their lives, however, they decided to replace the existing house with two semi detached houses where their eldest son and his family could be next to them as well as a separate apartment for their youngest son.

AD实验室的设计师们对客户与荷兰格罗夫家的情感纽带非常敏感，并提出了一种在形式和空间关系上与现有平房相呼应的设计方案，以便于将经验和集体记忆从旧房转移到新房。

The designers at AD Lab were sensitive to the emotional bond the clients had to their Holland Grove home and proposed a design that echoed both in form and spatial relationship the existing bungalow in order to facilitate the transference of experience and collective memory from the old to the new houses.

经过与业主讨论后，建筑师发现，他们与现有房屋的许多联系都与其双斜屋顶形式有关，也与其明亮和开阔的空间有关，这些空间让人感觉到这座房子就坐在花园里。随着新的设计，建筑师保留了原来的屋顶形式的概念，一个螺距在前面和一个螺距沿发展方向。然后，这些音高是与父母的房子入口处在前面左边的地段，和侧面的螺距定义儿子的房子沿着右边的财产。

After discussions with the owners, the architects found that many of the associations they had to the existing house were related to its double pitched roof form, as well as to its bright and open spaces that gave the feeling that the house was sitting in the gardens. With the new design, the architects retained the concept of the original roof form with one pitch at the front and one pitch along the side of the development. These pitches were then related to the entrance of the parent’s house at the front left side of the lot, and the side pitch defined the son’s house along the right side of the property.

父母家的前部有一间两层半高的起居室。这一崇高的居住空间锚定了房子，并作为中心核心，视觉上连接了房子的各个层次。小儿子的卧室和套房放在父母家的上层。为了保持一种隐私感，这一区域与房子的其他部分有些隔开，然而，套房的入口区域通过阳台垂直连接到房子的其余部分，阳台俯瞰下面明亮而通风的客厅。

The front pitch in the parent’s house encloses a two and a half storey living room. This lofty living space anchors the house and serves as central core that visually links all the levels of the house. The youngest son’s bedroom and suite is placed on the upper level of the parent’s house. In order to retain a sense of privacy, this zone is somewhat separated from the rest of the house, however the entrance area of the suite is vertically connected to the rest of the house through a balcony that overlooks the bright and airy living room below.

在新的设计中，整体发展的比例被拉长了，设计师们使用了明显的建筑元素来表达球场和屋顶屋檐的线条，并将其延伸到两所房子的正面，以便将这两座半独立的房屋解读为一个大房子，有两个截然不同的侧面。这种强烈的线性表达在视觉上将房屋联系在一起，但却让它们有了各自的建筑表达方式。

The proportion of the overall development is elongated in the new design and the designers used a pronounced expression of the architectural element of the line of the pitch and roof eave and stretched it across the frontage of both houses in order for the two semi detached houses to read as one large home with two distinct sides. This strong linear expression visually ties the houses together yet allows them have their individual architectural expression.

为了使房子周围有花园，并协助交叉通风和光线进入每所房子的深度，AD实验室设计了一个中央庭院和水的特点，把自己包裹在两个半独立的房子之间。设计师们认为，在隔开两座半独立房屋的部分墙壁上创造开口，对家庭的沟通至关重要。他们得到许可，允许墙壁上的空隙出现在房屋主要空间之间的视觉连接上，同时保持其他地方的隐私。

In an effort to surround the houses with gardens as well as to assist with cross ventilation and light into the depth of each house, AD Lab designed a central courtyard and water feature that wraps itself between the two semi detached houses. The designers saw that it was critical to the family’s communication to create openings in the part wall that typically separates two semi detached houses. They received permission to allow voids in the wall in significant locations where there could be visual connectivity between the main spaces of the houses, while maintaining privacy in others.

这两个单位之间的中央庭院和他们的部分墙壁的渗透性，以及在两所房子中的其他几个庭院的切割，使房屋与花园、环境以及两所房子之间的关系更加密切。

The permeability of the central courtyard between the two units and their parti walls as well as the cutting out of several other courtyards throughout both houses allows for the strong relationship of the houses with the gardens, the environment, as well as between the two houses.
