架构师提供的文本描述。在旧的哈科特街铁路线上，推出Luas轻轨服务，使回到铁路线上的房屋的私人和公共空间变得模糊不清。一个逆转发生了，结果是房子的后方被呈现为新的前线。

Text description provided by the architects. The introduction of the luas light rail service along the old harcourt street railway line has resulted in a blurring of private and public space for houses that back onto the railway line. A reversal occurs resulting in the rear of houses being presented as the new front.

这个项目使一个缓冲形式的砖块厚度，是添加到一个这样的房子的后部。一个新的家庭房间，一个扩大的厨房/就餐区域和一个扩大的一楼卧室在这种厚度。松散的流动形式的砖信封提供了一个封闭的住所，从过去的公众和一个开放的方面，向南和西方向的后花园。

This project makes a buffer in the form of a brick thickness that is added to the rear of one such house. A new family room, an extended kitchen/dining area and an extended first floor bedroom are accommodated in this thickness. The loose flowing form of the brick envelope offers both an enclosing shelter from the passing public and an opening aspect to the southerly and westerly orientation of the back garden.

砖制的窗户和门强调了紧绷的砖头封套：墙角的窗户延伸到与砖块齐平，而滑动的门帘则向内返回，使中央凹槽更深，而一个较小的零散物则被打穿砖头，让光线照射到厨房的工作顶部。一个由深挡板组成的屋顶灯将现有的房子缝到新的砖块延伸处，这样光线就能穿透到计划的深处。

Window and door opes made in the brickwork emphasise the taut brick envelope: corner windows extend out to be flush with the brickwork while a sliding door ope returns inwards to make a deeper central recess while a smaller incidental ope is punched through the brick to admit light onto the kitchen worktop. A roof-light of deep baffles stitches the existing house to the new brick extension allowing light to penetrate deep into the plan.

一个反射混凝土水磨石表面从厨房/就餐区通过家庭房间，创造了新的对角线关系之间的扩展房间。

A reflective concrete terrazzo surface flows from kitchen/dining area through to the family room creating new diagonal relationships between the extended rooms.

固定的家具和在木板橡木镶板上掉落的天花板被赋予了与外部砖块一样的弹性，使其能够同时转动平面和偶尔的深凹角。

Fixed furniture and a dropped ceiling in veneered oak panelling are given the same elasticity as the external brickwork, being made to turn corners with both flush surfaces and occasional deep recesses.
