这项工程是在一幢现有的1948年土坯砖屋内增加一间餐厅、一间阅览室和两间卧室的套房，并仔细考虑新添置物的选址及其与现有树木的关系，2011年，JM-A(一家名为“票房”的写作工作室)完成了最初的房子和之前的增建。它采用了为票房而开发的材料和正式语言：备用的、柏拉图式的感知盒，在它们与材料薄的开口的连接处被精确描述。

The project is the addition of a dining room, reading room and two bedroom suites to an existing 1948 adobe-brick house.Careful consideration was given to the siting of the new addition and its relationship to existing trees, the original house and a previous addition completed by JM-A in 2011 (a writing studio called the ‘Box Office’).It employs the material and formal language developed for the Box Office: spare, platonic boxes of a perceptual mass detailed precisely at their junctions to openings with a material thinness.

四卷通过不同的内部和外部对齐控制、查看和编排运动。固体/空隙关系的解读在相加过程和减法过程之间振荡-一方面被理解为一系列连接的卷，另一方面被看作是一个最初的纯盒，从其中移除两个L-形式。其结果是室内空间和花园之间有节奏的相互作用。

Four volumes control view and orchestrate movement through their various internal and external alignments. The reading of the solid/void relationship oscillates between additive and subtractive processes--on the one hand understood as a series of connected volumes while on the other seen as an initially pure box from which two L-forms are removed. The result is a rhythmic reciprocity between interior space and garden. 

一个奇怪的规模，已经出现在郊区的一个不同寻常的大花园和成熟的树木，也包括在内。例如，一个低水平的窗口，靠近主套房中的浴缸，通过其位置的模糊性，使它的外部条件具有奇异的存在。

A strangeness of scale, already present on the suburban site with an unusually large garden and mature trees, is embraced in the addition as well. A low horizontal window, for example, adjacent to the bath in the master suite, has an uncanny presence at its exterior condition through its positional ambiguity.
