架构师提供的文本描述。安特卫普附近一座半独立房屋的翻新和扩建。这所房子和它的邻居共用一条小巷。这条小巷提供了从街道到花园的直接连接。新的扩建并不是对旧房子的补充。我们提议建第二栋房子。这座后座是一面镜子，是前厅的一对双胞胎。这又是一座砖房，有一个倾斜的瓷砖屋顶，一层楼有居住空间，还有一些更高的房间，还有一个烟囱和一个楼梯。

Text description provided by the architects. A renovation and extension of a semi-detached house near Antwerp. The house shares a little alley with its neighbour. The alley provides a direct connection from the street to the garden. The new extension is not an addition to the old house. We propose a second house. This back house is a mirror image, a twin to the front house. It's a brick house again, with a pitched tiled roof, living space on ground floor and some rooms higher up, and a chimney and a staircase once more.

后屋的正面朝向花园。侧立面在两座房子的连接处向内折叠。这条长长的小巷现在有一个中心点：靠近厨房一半的一个小露台。

The 'front' facade of the back house is oriented to the garden. The side facade folds inward at the connection of both houses. The long alley has a centre point now: a little terrace adjoining the kitchen half way.

就像房子是一面镜子一样，空腔墙也是一样。这块砖做得像壁纸。每个室内空间都有自己的砖结构。同样的图案在外面也会出现，暴露出建筑物的部分。

Just as the house is a mirror image, so is the cavity wall. The brickwork behaves as wallpaper. Every indoor space has its own texture of brickwork. The same pattern returns on the outside, exposing the section of the building.
