The Sun Rain Room is a two-storey extension and restoration of a Grade-II Listed Georgian townhouse. The extension reframes the rear of the building by amplifying the characteristics found within its fabric. Designed and constructed by Tonkin Liu in collaboration with local craftspeople, it serves as both a studio for the practice and a home for the partners’ family.

太阳雨屋是一个两层的扩建和修复的二级列格鲁吉亚联排别墅。通过放大其织物中的特性，延长了建筑物的后部。由刘京建与当地工匠合作设计建造，既是实习工作室，又是合作伙伴家庭的家。

The perimeter walls of the rear courtyard support a plywood roof, curved in plan and section to allow maximum light into a patio garden. Rainwater gathered at the top of the townhouse falls through a pipe, following the roof’s curving leading edge to a spout over a long rainwater harvesting tank. The tank floods the patio at the push of a button, transforming it into a reflecting pool. The roof’s thin 110mm structural shell is an insulated stressed-skin, joined by round coffered skylights that echo the wave pattern of raindrops landing in the pool. It is a good place to be on a bad day.

后院的周边墙支持一个胶合板屋顶，弯曲的平面和部分，以允许最大限度的光线进入庭院花园。从屋顶弯弯曲曲的前缘到一个长长的雨水收集池上方，收集到的雨水通过一条管道流下来。只要按下按钮，水箱就会把露台淹没，把它变成一个反射池。屋顶的110毫米薄结构外壳是一个绝缘的应力皮肤，与圆形围护天窗相呼应雨滴降落在游泳池。在糟糕的一天，这是个好地方。

The extension accommodates both prosaic and poetic aspects of domestic and studio rituals. Under the roof a garden room offers a living space for the home and a meeting space for the studio. A mirrored wall in the covered outdoor area beyond conceals a workshop, cooking area, potting shed, store, and deep planter for the small trees in the green roof above. Below the patio, the existing basement has been extended to create a bedroom, two bathrooms and an enlarged plant-filled light-well.

这一扩展包含了家庭仪式和演播室仪式的平淡和诗意两方面。在屋檐下，花园房为家庭提供了生活空间，为工作室提供了会议空间。在覆盖的户外区域的一面镜子墙，隐藏着一个车间，烹饪区，盆栽棚，商店，和深植在绿色屋顶上的小树。在露台下面，现有的地下室已经扩建，以创建一个卧室，两个浴室和一个扩大的植物填充光井。
