The Screened House was conceptualised based on the intention to transform a typical semi-detached house into a loft-style house. Originally a structure which traditionally only allows access to the backyard from the living room, a direct and unobstructed physical and visual horizontal connection is carved out from the volume, stitching together the front of the house to the backyard spatially on two floors. Operable metal bi-folding screens provide a façade that can be activated when desired, its permeable surface providing shadow theatrics into the internal spaces of the house. On the vertical plane, a second connection is carved out through the excavation of existing floor slabs and the upper floor ceiling, which expands the stairwell area and exposes the structural beams and rafters, making evident the building’s integrity in its aesthetic outcome.
屏蔽屋的概念是基于将一个典型的半独立的房子改造成一个阁楼风格的房子的意图。最初是一种传统上只允许从客厅进入后院的结构，从体积中直接而通畅的物理和视觉水平连接在一起，将房子的前部与后院在两层空间上缝合在一起。可操作的金属双折叠屏幕提供一个立面，可以在需要时激活，它的透水表面提供阴影剧院进入房子的内部空间。在垂直平面上，通过挖掘现有楼板和上层天花板，形成第二个连接，扩大了楼梯井面积，暴露了结构梁和拉面，在美学成果上表明了建筑物的完整性。
