架构师提供的文本描述。在运河沿线最漂亮的地方之一的一个角落的房子提供了一个新的生活层在金属屋顶延伸。玻璃墙是用一个轻的，穿孔的铝皮包裹。窗户偶尔会穿过这一层或被它覆盖，提供不同程度的开放性和紧密性。

Text description provided by the architects. A corner house on one of the prettiest locations along the canal is provided with a new living layer in a metal rooftop extension. A glass wall is wrapped with a light, perforated aluminum skin. Windows occasionally pinch through this layer or are covered by it, providing various degrees of openness and closeness.

通过将穿孔的铝板倒置，防止了对建筑物的检查。一种有趣的光线出现了：在晚上，金属从背面被点燃，而在白天，穿孔提供漫射日光进入内部。屋顶露台，作为一个草药花园，提供了一个良好的景观运河。由于这一梯田沉入厨房的天花板，加强了相邻的生活厨房与露台的关系。尽管水平不同，但露台和厨房都近在咫尺。

By putting the perforated aluminum panels upside down, looks into the building are prevented. A interesting play of light emerges: at night, the metal is lit from the back while in the day, the perforations provide diffuse daylight into the interior. The rooftop terrace, acting as a herb garden, provides a good view over the canal. Because this terrace is sunk into the ceiling of the kitchen, the relation of the adjacent living-kitchen and terrace is strengthened. Terrace and kitchen come within reach, despite of the difference in level.

楼梯间的空隙被一个令人印象深刻的垂直书橱占据。书架变成了一个简单的，透明的楼梯，足够宽，可以用作阅读的长凳。

The stairwell void is occupied by an impressive vertical book closet. The bookshelves transform into an easy, transparent stairs, wide enough to be used as a reading bench.
