这一项目始于两名牙医，他们也是父亲和儿子，他们决定需要一座新的建筑，以满足他们日益增长的牙科诊所的需要-一座能反映他们牙科和现代设备质量的建筑，以及一座将为他们今后的事业服务的大楼。

This project began when two dentists, who are also father and son, decided that they needed a new building for their growing dental practice - a building that would reflect the quality of their dentistry and modern equipment and a building that would serve their business well into the future.

我们的第一项任务是协助客户认识到该地点的潜力，并了解预计的当地城市发展。这一探索的结果是一座三层混合用途的建筑物，为他们的牙科业务提供了地面层，为商业租户提供了第二层，为儿子提供了一套作为公寓居住的第三层。

Our first task was to assist the clients realise the potential of the site and to understand the projected local urban development. This exploration led to the brief being for a three storey mixed use building that provides the ground level for their dental business, a second level for a commercial tenant and a third level as an apartment for the son to occupy.

在建筑的设计上，我们首先思考了牙科的美学理念，以及牙医在雕刻和塑造牙齿方面的作用。我们把这个作为架构的起点。我们开发的设计是为了实现半透明、反射、深度、坚实性、表面和构图等品质的综合考虑，目的是使牙科工艺得到适当的表达。

For the design of the building, we began by reflecting upon the aesthetic ideals of dentistry and the role of the dentist to sculpt and shape teeth. We took this as our starting point for the architecture. We developed the design to achieve a considered interplay of the qualities of translucency, reflection, depth, solidity, surface and composition with the aim of giving proper expression to the craft of dentistry.

这种试图使人联想到牙科的暗示，让人回想起建筑传达内部服务或贸易的传统。这座建筑的街道正面是光滑的大理石和玻璃饰面。石头的图案和开口的形状传达了一个均匀的表面。当光线改变以前通过反射提供坚实的釉面时，它们变成了石头整体质量中的深刺，就像x射线一样，最上面的边缘看起来最透明。

This attempt to evoke allusions to dentistry harks back to the tradition of buildings communicating the service or trade that occurs within. The street facade of this building is a smooth veneer of polished marble and glass. The pattern of the stone and the configuration of openings convey a homogenous surface. As the light changes those glazed surfaces that previously offered solidity via their reflections become deep punctures in the monolithic quality of the stone and, like an x-ray, it is the (uppermost) edges that appear most translucent.

一楼图则

这个立面从相邻的建筑中折叠起来，提供一个前厅和一个适度的公民存在的表现。有角的表面将建筑物分成一组元素，通过对透视线的操纵，提供深度和运动感。后正面对白色渲染的表面采用尖锐的切口，将原本呈盒状的形状分解为一簇清晰、白色的元素。深窗显示提供必要的遮阳和质量的表达。

This facade folds in from the adjacent buildings to offer a forecourt and a modest expression of civic presence. The angled surfaces articulate the building as a cluster of elements and provide a sense of depth and movement via the manipulation of perspective sightlines. The rear facades employ sharp incisions to white rendered surfaces to dissolve transform an otherwise box-like form into a cluster of crisp, white elements. Deep window reveals provide requisite shading and an expression of mass.

室内空间提供了一个如画的线路，通过楼梯和瞬间的景观。在一楼，大窗户提供了强烈的视觉联系，与街道寻找的租户和窗户的北部被屏蔽，以尊重敏感性的住宅接口。在整个公寓里，巴洛克式的隐藏式光源暗示着空间的延伸；表面与反射和切割的主题再次被用来暗示质量。

The interior spaces offer a picturesque circuit via the staircase and moments of vista. At the first floor large windows provide the strong visual connection with the street sought by tenants and the windows to the north are screened to respect the sensitivity of the residential interface. Throughout the apartment baroque-like concealed light sources suggest spatial extension; surfaces toy with reflection and the incised motif is again used to suggest mass.
