Dylan and Annie, a landscape designer and a hairstylist, wanted a flexible studio space for work and guests and to keep their backyard intact. They also didnt want to relocate during construction or to disrupt the mature landscape.

迪伦和安妮，一个是景观设计师，一个是发型师，他们想要一个灵活的工作室空间来容纳工作和客人，并保持他们的后院完好无损。他们也不想在施工期间搬迁或破坏成熟的景观。

The Perch, a 660sf structure, is shaped to meet these needs, fitting just above the existing bungalow roofline and just below the City of Austin setback tent. Rooms have small footprints and vaulted ceilings for added volume, and the splitlevel form provides interstitial storage and mechanical space throughout. The Perch rests on four steel columns, three of which pierce through existing bungalow walls to help resist lateral forces. The steel frame was shop-built and craned into place in a single day, to minimally disturb the site.

Perch 是一个 660 平方英尺的结构，其形状可以满足这些需求，正好位于现有平房屋顶线上方和奥斯汀市后退帐篷下方。房间占地面积小，拱形天花板增加了体积，错层式形式提供了贯穿始终的间隙存储和机械空间。鲈鱼靠在四根钢柱上，其中三根钢柱穿透现有的平房墙壁，以帮助抵抗侧向力。钢框架是车间建造的，并在一天内吊装到位，以尽量减少对现场的干扰。

Corrugated Corten siding was selected for its low maintenance and to match existing site elements. The open grate with expanded metal stair shares a landing with the bungalow and is barefoot (and paw) friendly while allowing light to pass through below.

之所以选择波纹Corten壁板，是因为其维护成本低，并且与现有的场地元素相匹配。带有扩展金属楼梯的开放式格栅与平房共享一个平台，对赤脚（和爪子）友好，同时允许光线从下面穿过。

From the front cantilevered room, you feel a slight movement when someone walks up the stair, providing a sense of awareness and connection back to its construction and a gentle reminder of wind and gravity. A steel coatrack welded to an exposed beam at the entry is designed to sway, echoing this motion. Materials were selected for economy, durability, and efficiency, including off-the-shelf pre-finished T-G pine walls and ceilings (spanning from the exterior porch into the interior), off-the-shelf Boos butcher block countertops, IKEA cabinets (with custom painted fronts), and standard porcelain sockets and pendant lights the client already owned. Wood flooring is a remnant mix of pre-finished plain and rift sawn white oak, overage recycled from a larger project.

从前面的悬臂式房间，当有人走上楼梯时，你会感觉到轻微的移动，提供一种意识感和与结构的联系，并轻轻地提醒人们风和重力。焊接在入口处裸露的横梁上的钢制衣帽架被设计为摇摆，与这种运动相呼应。选择的材料是为了经济、耐用和高效，包括现成的预制 T-G 松木墙和天花板（从外部门廊到内部）、现成的 Boos 屠夫块台面、宜家橱柜（带有定制的油漆正面）以及客户已经拥有的标准瓷质插座和吊灯。木地板是预加工的素色和裂缝锯白橡木的残余混合物，从更大的项目中回收了多余的木材。

Structural steel throughout is left exposed and painted white. A hard-working beam in the kitchen supports an open shelf above the sink, carries the bedroom floor behind, allows the countertop to extend deep beyond the kitchen sink for added storage, and hides recessed countertop lighting. Three pipes aligned behind the southeast column efficiently and stealthily carry power, water, gas and sewer lines to The Perch from the bungalow mechanical closet below, and a stack washer/dryer fits neatly behind closed doors in the hall storage. While a February 2021 freeze claimed most of the sites flora towards the end of construction, reestablishment is underway. The Perch currently serves as a pandemic workspace for the hairstylist.

整个结构钢都暴露在外并涂成白色。厨房中一根勤劳的横梁支撑着水槽上方的开放式架子，将卧室地板放在后面，让台面延伸到厨房水槽之外以增加储物空间，并隐藏嵌入式台面照明。东南柱后面排列的三根管道高效而隐蔽地将电力、水、煤气和下水道管线从下面的平房机械壁橱输送到 The Perch，堆叠洗衣机/烘干机整齐地安装在大厅储藏室的紧闭门后面。虽然 2021 年 2 月的冰冻在施工结束时夺走了该遗址的大部分植物群，但重建工作正在进行中。The Perch 目前是发型师的大流行工作空间。
