架构师提供的文本描述。增加和改变现有的梯田房子，通过引入一个大的三层空隙连接第二层和第三层的阁楼空间与现有的木萝卜，将3，500平方英尺的空间转换成一个阁楼。该房子完全开放到外部，通过使用双折叠全高度金属屏幕在前面和后面的正面两层。在不提供任何玻璃后的金属屏风和使用可移动的内部隔墙，两个正面的大开口促进一个一致的风流通过所有的室内空间，而屏幕过滤自然光进入房子。整个房子的“开放”概念被一个完全的“屏蔽”的想法并列，这个想法把房子关在一个封闭的盒子里。

Text description provided by the architects. The addition and alteration to this existing terraced house converts the 3,500 Sq ft space into a loft by the introduction of a large triple storey void that connects the second and third floor to an attic space with existing wood rafters. The house completely opens up to the exterior through the use of bi-folding full height metal screens on both floors of the front and back facades. Without providing any glazing behind the metal screens and with the use of movable interior partitions, the large openings on both facades promote a consistent wind flow through all the interior spaces, while the screens filter natural light into the house. The ‘open’ concept throughout the house is juxtaposed by a full ‘screening’ idea that shuts the house into an enclosed box.

房子的地面被转换成一个工作的工作室，有一个单独的入口，被屏蔽在混凝土墙后面。4米高的多孔水泥砌块墙保护房屋前部和后部的空隙，在前院和后院创造了几乎一个外部的“房间”。松散的砾石覆盖前院和50毫米厚的黑色花岗岩板作为铺路板，导致入口从外部大门。

The ground level of the house is converted into a working studio with a separate entry, shielded behind a concrete wall. 4 meter tall perforated cement block walls protect the open spaces in the front and the back of the house, creating almost an exterior 'room' in the front and back yards. Loose gravel cover the front yard and 50mm thick black granite slabs are used as pavers leading to the entries from the exterior gate.

另一个阳台，面向后花园是新建的第3层，通过削减现有的板，先前延伸到上楼梯的落地。通过对楼板的剪裁，揭示出新楼梯空隙下存在的一条厚梁，强调了新阳台下的结构支撑。这中间的阳台空间屏蔽了露天楼梯的核心和三层高度的空隙从外部。

An additional balcony which faces the back garden is newly created on the 3rd level by cutting away the existing slab which previously stretched to the upper stair landing. A thick existing beam running the span of the new stair void is revealed after cutting back the slab, emphasizing the structural support beneath the new balcony. This in-between balcony space screens the open-air stair core and triple height void from the exterior.
