The basement was completely reconfigured and enlarged and part of the garden was dug out to create a ‘cour anglaise’ for the dining room and kitchen and provides natural daylight, fresh air, and a terrace for outdoor entertaining. The darker areas at the front of the plan were ideal to accommodate an intimate spa facility.
地下室被完全重新配置和扩大，花园的一部分被挖出来，为餐厅和厨房创造了一个“couranglaise”，为户外娱乐提供了自然的日光、新鲜空气和露台。计划前面的深色区域非常适合容纳一个私密的水疗设施。

The ground floor living room is orientated towards a sandstone terrace of which clean lines complement the rough original garden walls and the mature trees and shrubs. A cut-out in the first floor plate over the living room allows indirect views to the upper floor and lets light filter through between the two spaces. All the upper floors are dedicated to sleeping and studying, with the master bedroom facilities occupying all of the first floor. The roof has been extended with a small volume to house a staircase, lift, and services with the remaining area turned into a large sunny roof terrace.
地面客厅朝向砂岩阶地，其清洁线路与粗糙的原始花园墙和成熟的树木和灌木互补。在起居室中的第一底板中的切口允许对上地板的间接视图，并且允许滤光器在两个空间之间通过。所有上层楼层都专用于睡觉和学习，主卧室设施占用了所有一楼。屋顶用很小的体积延伸，以容纳楼梯、电梯和服务，剩下的区域变成了一个大的阳光屋顶露台。

Although the treatment of the new surfaces is resolutely contemporary, the manners, materials, and colours of this extensive refurbishment have remained very close to the original atmosphere. The pure whiteness of the wall surfaces are only interrupted now and then by slim black metal frames of the new windows, the dark-stained wall paneling and furniture, the grey-white marble of the bathrooms, and the grey Indian stone and stainless steel of the kitchen. This house has been restored, transformed, and has only gained in elegance, smooth charm and international style.
虽然新的表面的处理是坚决的当代，但是这种广泛翻新的方式、材料和颜色仍然非常接近原始大气。墙壁表面的纯白度现在只中断，然后是新窗户的细长黑色金属框架、暗染的墙壁镶板和家具、浴室的灰色白色大理石和厨房的灰色印度石头和不锈钢。这所房子已恢复、改造，只获得了优雅、流畅的魅力和国际风格。
