架构师提供的文本描述。圆塔是列在第二类的愚蠢行为，由于多年的忽视和火灾而被毁。位于山顶俯瞰西丁顿村，裸露的地点是视觉上完整的设置这一列出的结构。因此，设计方法与周围的农业景观保持开放的关系，通过发展一个谨慎和实质的地下延伸塔。这个地下延伸部分提供了主要的开放式居住空间，并被一个中央开放的下沉庭院和一个侧面的“景观勺”照亮，将新游泳池和相关的太阳露台隐藏在公众视野之外。

Text description provided by the architects. The Round Tower is a Grade II Listed folly, which had been reduced to ruin by years of neglect and fire. Located on the crest of a hill overlooking Siddington Village, the exposed site is visually integral to the setting of this listed structure. As such the design approach maintains the open relationship with the surrounding agricultural landscape by developing a discreet and substantial underground extension to the tower. This underground extension provides the main open plan living spaces and is lit by both a central open sunken courtyard and a lateral ‘landscape scoop’ concealing the new swimming pool and associated sun terraces from public view.

挂牌塔仍然是明显的主导结构，为四卧室家庭住宅提供了前门和垂直流通的手段。这也是主要下沉庭院花园的视觉焦点。修复后的塔楼提供额外的住宿和屋顶露台，以欣赏周围景观的全景。

The listed tower remains clearly the dominant structure, providing the front door to the 4 bedroom family house and the means of vertical circulation. It is also the visual focus of the main sunken courtyard garden. The restored tower provides additional accommodation and a roof terrace for the enjoyment of the panoramic views of the surrounding landscape.
