From the architect: Previously a tired half of a pair of semi detached houses in St Johns Wood, the brief was to reconfigure, extend and add a basement to the house, but this evolved into the design of a new build brick house, which included a basement and garden room.

这位建筑师说：以前，圣约翰伍德(St Johns Wood)有两栋半独立的房屋，其中一半是累了的，当时的简讯是重新布置、扩建和增加一座地下室，但后来演变成了一座新建砖房的设计，其中包括一间地下室和一间花园房。

Being part of a semi detached house in a conservation area did provide some context to work in. This London brick house also acts, to some degree, as a gatekeeper to a small mews road along its flank wall. The tiered, ‘wedding cake’ form of the building, while also providing interest in form also played homage to this role as a gateway building. The brick, while complementary in tone aimed to up the quality of the masonry both in quality but also in detailing. Subtle details were added to pay homage, but not mimic, some of the Georgian/ Victorian neighbours, such as the use of stone around parapet walls, a recessed pointing banding detail at ground floor and the use of classical proportions to windows and doors.

作为一个半独立的房屋的一部分，在一个保护区提供了一些工作环境。这家伦敦的砖房在某种程度上也作为门卫，沿着其侧墙的一条小公路。该建筑的分层“婚礼蛋糕”形式，同时也为形式提供了兴趣，同时也对作为门户建筑的角色表示了敬意。砖，而色调互补的目的是提高砌体的质量，无论是质量还是在细节上。为了向格鲁吉亚/维多利亚的一些邻居（例如，在女儿墙周围使用石头，在底层使用凹陷的勾缝带细节，以及对窗户和门使用经典比例），增加了细微的细节，但不是模仿。

A contemporary but warm pallet of materials was used to create a home for three generations of the family and well as spaces for entertaining. As well as large open plan spaces the house also has smaller more intimate spaces, such as a spa, snug and treatment room.

一个现代但温暖的材料托盘被用来为三代家庭创造一个家和娱乐的空间。除了大的开放式空间，房子还有更小的更亲密的空间，如水疗，舒适和治疗室。

Internally the staircase is a key element to the success of the house. The cast concrete staircase was a combination of new and old materials designed with cutting edge technology and re-established deign techniques. Combining highly engineered polished concrete formed in a factory with wrought iron balustrade formed by hand.

在内部，楼梯是房子成功的关键因素。浇筑混凝土楼梯是一种新的和旧的材料结合设计的尖端技术和重新建立的设计技术。将在工厂中形成的高度工程抛光混凝土与手工形成的锻铁栏杆结合在一起。

In technological terms, we also worked to a fabric first approach, that is to say, minimising the energy use of the building before investing in expensive add on technologies. The house despite being more than twice the size of the one it replaced, uses considerably less energy in consumption. The annual Co2 emission per m2 are approximately 40% less than building regulations require.

在技术方面，我们还采用了一种结构第一的方法，即在投资昂贵的附加技术之前，尽量减少建筑物的能源使用。尽管这座房子的面积是原来的两倍多，但消耗的能源却要少得多。每平方米的二氧化碳年排放量比建筑法规要求的少约40%。
