架构师提供的文本描述。在南都柏林，维多利亚式两层以上的露台需要现代化和额外的空间来满足客户日益成长的家庭的需要。现有的两层楼的回报规模不适合如此大的房子与狭窄的内部尺寸，使空间无法使用。

Text description provided by the architects. This end of terrace Victorian two-storey over basement house in south Dublin required modernization and additional space for the needs of the clients growing family. The brief was to provide additional multifunctional living space and bedroom accommodation not provided for within the original house. The existing two-storey return was at a scale not befitting such a large house with cramped internal dimensions making the spaces unusable.

这一设计创造了一个更适合规模和性质的后方回归，其正交强调反映了原来的露台。锌的反射性和坚固性与空白和窗户开口的平坦黑暗形成了鲜明对比，形成了一种雕塑形式，与房子的主墙相依为命。

The design creates a rear return more suitable in scale and playful in nature with an orthogonal emphasis reflecting that of the original terrace. The reflectivity and solidity of the zinc contrasts the flat darkness of the voids and window openings, in the creation of a sculptural form, which sits in deference against the main wall of the house.

在现有的侧通道上，一个新的檐篷将就餐区包围在内部和外部之间的过渡空间中，这与主楼层的一个新楼梯一起创造了底层花园和钢琴小孔之间的对话，因此在这种住宅的转换过程中常常被忽略。

A new canopy over the existing side passage encloses the dining area in a transition space between the interior and exterior, which along with a new staircase from the main floor creates a dialogue between the lower ground floor garden and the piano nobile, so often ignored in the conversion of this type of dwelling.
