科克斯韦尔之家就是这样一种财产。它的地形、尊重邻居工地线的必要性、许多美丽的树木和历史上的软土(该遗址位于以前的河床上)以及无数的分区困难，使它无法使用传统的方法。至少还有三位开发商出于这些原因不愿在这片土地上建房。罗汉的目标是将土地上的住宅最终归为“弃置”，并将其与场所精神相结合，发展成有尊严的地方。这个财产真是个挑战。

The Coxwell House is just such a property. Its topography, the necessity of respecting the neighbour's site lines, the many beautiful trees and historically soft soil (the site is in a former creek bed) and numerous zoning difficulties made it unworkable using conventional methods. At least three other developers would not attempt to build upon this property for just these reasons.  Rohan's goal is to evolve habitations on land ultimately classified as 'throw-away' into places of dignity combined with the spirit of place. This property is such a challenge.

科克斯韦尔的房子和他在大学街1292号的第一栋房子(“三角1292”)就是他作品的活生生的例子。有意识地建立在边缘化的土地上，罗汉·沃尔特斯创造了简单的居住尊严，体现了家的精神。

The Coxwell House and his first house at 1292 College Street ('Triangle 1292') are living examples of his work. Consciously building on marginalized land Rohan Walters creates simple dignity of habitation embodying the spirit of home.

科克斯韦尔大厦是一个三层，40英尺高，800平方英尺，两居室，树脂浸渍胶合板房子。这座五颜六色的建筑大约有16英尺x16英尺长，将矗立在四根钢柱上。进出街道的通道将通过一座32英尺长的桥。室内将有两间完整的卧室，一间四件一间的浴室，兼具开放式厨房、餐厅和客厅，并最终拥有绿色屋顶。

The Coxwell House is a three story, 40 foot tall, 800 square foot, two-bedroom, resin - impregnated plywood house. This multicoloured building will measure approximately 16 feet by 16 feet that will stand on four steel posts. Access to and from the street will be via a 32 foot long bridge. The interior will feature two full bedrooms, a four piece bathroom, combined open space kitchen, dining room and living area, and eventually to have green rooftop .

被动式冷却和加热将被设计成结构，以尽量减少公用事业费用。混凝土地板的热水辐射采暖(热质量)将进一步节省冬季费用。在温暖的天气中，建筑物利用烟囱效应，在底部吸入空气，并将空气从建筑物中抽出来，并将其排出顶部。空气在较冷的混凝土地板上流动，就像凉风吹在居民皮肤上，通过屋顶的通风口把热量吸出来。科克斯韦尔之家将是一个宜居的，舒适的和一个立即识别的家。

Passive cooling and heating will be designed into the structure to minimize utility expenses. Hot water radiant in-floor heating of a concrete floor (the thermo-mass) will further economize on winter expenses. In warm weather the building uses the stack effect drawing air in at the bottom and pulling it through the building and venting it out the top. The air travels over the cooler concrete floors as well as acting as a cool breeze on the resident's skin drawing the heat out through the rooftop vent. The Coxwell House will be a livable, comfortable and an instantly recognizable home.
